Summary: Not enough substance
Review: T3 tries to be a good movie. It tries to make subplots between the main characters, and more importantly tries to rekindle the chemistry between John Connor and Arnold from T2. It just fails. Ultimately, T3 becomes a contrived story that needs radical twists for any enjoyment to be garnered from the movie.
The relationship between Clair Danes and John Connor is soo clearly forced because the don't even seem to have any interest in each other, yet suddenly they love each other. Movies like to show that people mask love with disdain, but with apathy? not quite.
The movie tries to once again talk about the emotional element of the machines and while it was never particularly well done in the previous two movies, it is just plain bad here. Arnold is never given a chance to be the stoic determined machine from the other movies, but instead is a completely different character, which is logically inconsistent with the idea that he is the same machine.
Much of the action of the movie is too similar to T2 with the cars chases and breaking into buildings. This begs the questions is there anything redeeming about this movie? Is there any level of creativity?...
I like Arnold and much of Arnold's screen success rides on this. He is not a great actor but people like to see him on the screen and here there is a lot of screen time for Arnold. While most of the twists are ridiculous there are a couple that are impressive. Finally, the special effects, while not "Matrix'-quality, are well done. The result is a hollow action movie that drifts to far from the successful formula of the 1st two Terminators: stoic main characters (Arnold and Linda Hamilton) and Arnold being a badass, which he is not in T3.

Summary: It is a waste of money
Review: If you insist of completing your collection, you need to buy one otherwise it is a complete waste of time and money. Spend your money on Lord of the Rings instead.

Summary: Lighter than others, more fun
Review: This one had better humor than the I & II. Also, it's more fun. Kind of hooky at times but it's a Terminator movie, what do you expect? Very fun, very funny, and a fairly good ending although they did seem to go cheaper on the special effects toward the end of the movie.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: Why didn't they use Edward Furlong as John Conner in this film?????? He was the right age and everything. Furlong is handsome with a dangerous edge (like John Conner). Instead they cast Nick Stahl, the goofiest, goofiest, dorkiest actor in the history of cinema. Nick Stahl makes Ben Stiller look like Sean Connery. They poured hundreds of millions of dollars into making and marketing this film...and ruined it from the get-go with a wretchedly moronic casting choice.

Summary: Fun and loud.
Review: Mindless action with a hint of Terminator. This movie could've honestly been a stand alone title. It has so little to do with the atmosphere of the first two flicks, the actors are mostly different, the dialoue is not even similar. Even the action scenes are different. They are all good, mind you. And, lots of fun. Action nonstop. But, not for the true die0hard fan. Of which i am not. So, i feel it is worthy of a re-watch, and a solid four stars.

Summary: A Remake of a Sequel
Review: Folks, this just isn't a very good movie. It's little more than a remake, of sorts, of Terminator 2. Gone is any mystery and menace associated with Arnold's Terminator character. Political correctness has turned him into a "nice guy" who avoids killing people at all costs (an ideological carryover from the second movie). Lokken's female Terminator character is a rehash of the Terminator played, more effectively, by Robert Patrick in T2. While she is a little more advanced, technologically-speaking, than T2, it takes the form of bang-and-boom weaponry than anything that really adds to the story. The scene in the cemetary was totally unnecessary. I mean, c'mon, that's the only place that weapons could be hidden?!? Half that stuff you can buy on the street--or better still, do what Arnold did in the first movie and just walk into a store and steal it. I would also add that the reintroduction of the character actor (don't know his name) who played the psychiatrist in the first two movies just doesn't work. I'm sure the makers thought it would draw big laughs, but it only drew a couple of snickers in the audience that I was among. While the introduction scene for Arnold--in a strip club--is amusing, it, too, has become a tired imitation from the original. Of course, you have the highway chase and destroy scene. Visually it is an eyeful, but even it is rather mundane since it is so over the top. Other special effects are outstanding, as you would expect. But they should have spent more on a better story, instead. The John Connor character acts more like a whining momma's boy than a savior of the world, and his new girlfriend doesn't add much to his persona. Obviously, this movie is simply setting the stage for yet another sequel and, hopefully, an actual resolution to the story. Let's hope they actually do it right next time. I also wouldn't mind seeing Kyle Reece, played by Michael Biehn in the original, reintroduced for the final chapter.

Summary: I didn't like this movie much
Review: Can anyone tell me the difference between this movie and Matrix Reloaded? Both were movies that needed to be thought out a lot more before producing. After seeing T3, I'm left wondering this: Ok, the first termintor couldn't do it (T1), so they sent a more powerful one (T2) that couldn't do it. Now they're sending an even more powerful (T3) terminator that still can't do it. Let's just skip onto say T19, the baddest momma out. I mean, these things are from the future, right? How come they keep sending "last year's" model? Or is George Bush V running skynet? And how come these "future" terminators had such a problem with the terminators of the day? Maybe I'd buy into Jason vs Terminator, but I doubt it. C'mon Arnold, give us something fresh. You produced this trash. And do we really need to see his butt anymore? I was hoping we'd get a better look at the other terminator, right???

Summary: Fa'get aboudit
Review: This movie is worse than junk: It is revolting junk. I used to be engaged by the action sequences in his movies, but even those are reruns. And with the blatant misogynist attitudes of this "piece", I am totally put off. My interest in anything Schwarzenegger has dropped to nada! I will have no problem passing over anything this guy has to offer, past or future.
