Summary: It is all good and it is ALL Schwarzenegger!
Review: Why five stars? Surely this is not Terminator 1 or 2 you say? The truth be told that it is not, but this movie is still a five star sci-fi action fest that simply blows most sci-fi movies out of the water. It is not the best of the Terminator series but it is still an excellent movie and more importantly this is Schwarzenegger and he IS back.It has been almost 10 years since Arnie did a good movie (True Lies). When you compare T3 to the likes of - Junior, Eraser, Jingle All the Way, Batman & Robin, End of Days, The 6th Day and Collateral Damage you should be thankful for seeing the man back doing what he does best. T3 is far better than any of us could have hoped it would have been without Cameron at the helm. Not only was this vehicle a darn good summer blockbuster but it was THE summer blockbuster film for 2003 and simply knocked Matrix: Revolutions for ten in terms of meeting the audience's expectations. T3 cuts to the chase almost ten minutes into the film. The connections do defy belief though (John Conner hooks up with the daughter of the only man who can stop Skynet almost fifteen minutes into the film) but when all is said and done you just don't care because when Arnie comes on screen it is ALL TERMINATOR from start to finish. The director has also taken a very different approach to the theme of "fate" and the ending, surprisingly, is a corker of a crack ending that is also better than any third instalment in the series could have delivered. The special effects and action sequences are on top form and T3 also boasts huge amounts of well-placed humour like Arnie's dead-pan and on-que one liners ("Your Fiancée is Dead. Let's go." ) Is this a worthy contender? Hell yeah! and more. The DVD in its crisp transfer looks amazing and there is a powerhouse of stunts and action sequences to keep the audience entertained throughout its many plot twists and turns. This is not a bad sequel at all... in fact if Mostow helms the next one who is going to complain? Sure Cameron is not here and it is more PG orientated, but if you like T1 and T2 and are prepared to give a little leeway to the series without Cameron then T3 is the surprise summer blockbuster hit package. It also has lots of nostalgia and little moments from T1 and T2 thrown in. Like I said - It is all good! By the way - Cameron said he liked it. The series may be milked but what the hell.. it does not disappoint and seeing a female terminator and Arnie smashing sevens shades of brown out of each other is something new in cinema to say the least. Just seeing a female take on the man of bronze is worth the rental alone and for those who really like it - DVD ownership IS INEVITABLE. No collection can be embarrassed about adding this one to the other two.

Summary: Overrated
Review: T3 was a mockary of the other terminater movies. this story is on a serous subjuct, and the other movies show this though the darkness of the movies, yet t3 is full of bad jokes. At least the did give a decent explanation as to why the could happen, though why would they send such an outdated version of the terminatior back? basically the movie was just arnold's poor attempt to renew a dying career, hopefully he does better as governor

Summary: Some may hate some of what I say, but please hear me out
Review: Everyone seems to either be disappointed, or prefer the original movies. Me on the other hand, I like this one better than the original (which in my opinion was no good), and it is at a tie with the second. Why would I say this? Simple, the third makes more sense. One thing that the first two (especially the first) did that I was disappointed in was the contradictions that came from the time travel. The son could not have been born unless he sent his father back in time, the terminators would have never been invented unless one was destroyed in the factory, etc. This one, not only avoided making these contradictions, it even did some things that helped to fix these problems. Though the second one made a nice point in the end, it was the point behind this one that I really enjoyed. It was great to see that some could realize that there being destiny does not mean that we do not make a difference. There is one last thing I would like to point out, considering that many may be upset with this film because it was not done by James Cameron. If you are in this group, you should take a look at what he says about it. Though he would have done somethings differently, he says that he was pleased with it. If the original director can be pleased with a sequel done by someone else, I think the fans could.

Summary: I agree with those who said "lose your expectations"
Review: This movie couldn't live up to Terminator 1 and 2 no matter how hard it tried. It's a good action movie, and it's fun to watch, but it's nothing like the originals. I'd say rent this one and buy the first two. That's just me though.

Summary: Respectable if not passion-inducing
Review: T3 has fine performances by Claire Danes (fiery and feisty) and Kristanna Loken (cool and crafty). Nick Stahl and Arnold Schwarzenegger give performances which are decent, but not as engaging. I liked the fact that the terminatrix used her sex appeal as an aid in infiltration. Before seeing the movie, I had thought that a female terminator didn't make much sense (except to get a male audience). But now I see that the less threatening, and more sexy, a terminator looks, the more able it is to achieve its goals. Kristanna was every bit as good as Arnold was in the first film. This is no James Cameron film. The cinematography isn't as engaging (the point-the-camera-at-the-action school), and there are so many special effects that it almost takes away from the story. The story wins out though, and that, along with the women's performances, saves the film. The film was clearly influenced by The Matrix, particularly in a scene where T1 and TX fight it out, busting through loads of porcelain in a restroom. Reminded me of Morpheus and that unfortunate toilet bowl. While I doubt the possibility of another sequel, the film leaves room for one, or even a TV series. Stunt direction is very impressive. The film keeps moving, and doesn't grow tiresome -- and it has an ending which is indeed consistent with the other films. If it didn't, then there would be no ugly future for the terminators to have come from! So, while this film isn't as great as the other two, it isn't an insult to its legacy. It holds up.

Summary: Good but not great
Review: T3 takes up 10 years, I think, after T2. Sarah O'Connor is dead (of leukemia) and John is on his own. In a brief summary of the movie, the machines send back a terminator to kill John's lieutenants and one of them is his future wife. The resistance reactivates an old terminator and send him back to help John. I admit I didn't really care for this chapter of The Terminator but it grew on me after seeing it a few more times. What disappointed me was the storyline: I think there could've been more depth to it but, of course, the first two Terminator movies didn't have much of a storyline in it either, but then again, both movies had James Cameron. His absence is felt throughout this movie: In the first two installments, there are scenes, as well as lines, that were memorable and riveting; lines delivered with such conviction that it sparked fad. I mean, how many times have we heard "Hasta la vista, baby" or "I'll be back"? This one lacked Cameron's creativity and talent with the camera. With the ending, it is obvious they hope to add another chapter to this series and I hope they do. However, I hope it'll be better than this one and that Cameron will direct it.

Summary: HE'S BACK!!!!!
Review: This time, a relentless female cyborg is bent on terminating not only "John Conner", but his lieutenants who will lead the battle for survival of mankind, against the machines. John Connor is now a young man, coming of age- on the run, trying to stay one step ahead of his fate. Enter Arnold Schwartzenegger as the defending machine slugging it out with the female cyborg assasinator. This is yet another razzle dazzle sci-fi action flick with the ususal special effects marathon chase scenes. Arnold manages to keep John alive, barely. This cast does a superb job. Hard to top Linda Hamilton's performances in the previous terminator films, but new young heroes give it their all. What will the next film, Terminator 4, reveal as Judgement Day begins in earnest?

Summary: It's Worth Watching and Possibly Buying
Review: The truth is that this is not a bad movie, but it isn't really a great movie either. The script could have been better, but it did bring up some interesting questions. John Connor and Katherine Brewster's relationship could have been a lot more involved, but at least the writers didn't have them go too far and have a sex scene. Sure the Terminator wasn't as cool in this one as in the others, but come on Arnold is getting old. There is a lot of stuff like that in the movie, but the action is cool and you've got to give it that. I don't think that movies should be judged by how much action there is, but it works for a movie like this. So, basically it isn't as good as the first two by a long shot, but it's okay. And if you're like me and you love the first two and feel like you need to buy it so that you can complete the trilogy feel free to. You won't watch it as much as you do the other two, but you might just watch a few times a year.
