Summary: Terminator 3: Rise of The Machines
Review: The first time I noticed that there was a Terminator 3 movie coming out was when I was at the movie theater. There above me hung a huge Terminator 3 banner, featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger, half showing his human face, and the other half showing his exo-skeleton machine face. I was extremely excited, being a fan of the Terminator series. I went home, watched the trailer for the movie so many times, I lost count, and counted down the days till the movie would arrive on the big screen. My father even bought advance tickets to the movie to ease my thoughts that they may sell out, which would get in the way of me seeing the movie that I knew I would love! Right after that, when the movie launched onto theaters, there I was with popcorn, waiting in line for the movie of my dreams...When I left the movie theater, I was impressed at the fact that the movie didnt bomb. Yes, I know that a lot of sequels to a great movie turn out to be crap, but that was proved wrong with Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Aliens (sequel to Alien), and a couple other titles. Well, this is another example to prove that statement wrong as this movie held together until the end. The story takes place with the time being now, present day. John Connor (Nick Stahl), the soon-to-be hero in the future, lives without any type of personal information. As in saying, he doesnt have a home, no computer, nothing is in his name, and basically he lives off of the streets. This is because he's still paranoid from the fact that the machines from the future sent a machine (the T-1000, played by Robert Patrick) to terminate him so he wouldnt be alive and would never exist in the future. Anyway, he's still afraid that there may actually be a chance there is a terminator being sent from the future for a second chance in wiping him out. And boy, was he right. Out steps the T-X (Kristanna Loken), who is more powerful than the T-1000, having the same things as the last machine, but even more such as a metal exoskeleton under the liquid metal (the T-1000 was only liquid metal), and being able to change forms and shapes into anything that it sees, just like the T-1000. The only protector that John Connor can depend on is the T-101 <or T-800> (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who was his guardian in the second movie. From then on, this movie takes you on a great action experience. From car chases on a huge crane truck, to a one on one showdown between the T-101 and the T-X, this movie will not displease you one least bit (that's my opinion, though)! Also, there will be some twists in the movie, and I will not give out the twists, as its much more enjoyable not knowing while you're watching the movie... Enjoy! Rated R for strong sci-fi violence and action, language and brief nudity.

Summary: It was the only way to go.....
Review: Ok, since lots of people bashed this movie saying it was crap(and half of them probably liked the Matrix Sequals), im going to tell you why i think this movie was great. First of all, to answer some questions, Ed Furlong was not in this because of his substance abuse(he had the part of course,but John Mostow didnt know if he could pull it off without any help). Why James Cameron didnt direct this? (Titanic may have had sumthin to do with it)but there was an interview with him after this came out and he said he liked it. OK, now for the movie. Overall, i was pleased. I wondered how they could pull it off, because for me, the first two Terminator movies were about the two bad Terminators (Arnold in the first, Robert Patrick in the second) and how Cameron kept making us believe they couldnt be killed, and it was that threat that scared me.After i saw this one, i realized how smart the makers of this were(they knew that this new girl Terminator couldnt have the same effect the other two had), so they made the threat the impendind arrival of Judgment Day, and wondering if they would stop it. When it came to the end, i thought it was going to turn out ok. But then (sorry if i ruin the movie)when they found out it was just a bomb shelter for the President and not the thing to stop Skynet, i was shocked. I got surprised again when Judgment Day began, and we saw the bombs fall. I said to myself, Wow, i never expected that ever.That is were i realized how good this movie was. Sure, you got your Plot Holes(Dyson not being the cause of building Skynet, huh?) and part of Arnold's performance(talk to the hand? Gimme a break) and the T-X didnt do it for me(but she is really, really hot, so she did it for me there) but i didnt feel the intensity in her performance like i felt with Patricks T-1000, or Arnold's in the first one. But overall, not bad.

Summary: A Dissapointment from the Governor of California
Review: Before i saw this movie in the theatre, i was excited to see that old Arny was making another Terminator movie. The first 2 were great, so this one had to be too, right? WRONG. I was very dissapointed, but what can you expect? They played it up way to much. I think that there didn't really need to be this movie for the audience to figure out what was going on, but that may just be me. The DVD has all the extra features you would expect. Buy it if you are a fan, otherwise, skip it.

Summary: Great Sequel to Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day
Review: I found this movie to be the best one of the series...but when is the last movie to come out NOT the best one? This movie continues the storyline of John Connor and Sydney Brooster who escape a newer, better terminator. But no one can stop Arnold. This is a non-stop action film telling about happened when machines get the better of humans... and how the destruction of the lab that created the machines didn't stop the inevitable War. I suggest you see the movies in order, then you will understand the whole story.

Summary: Confusing but Good!!
Review: I agree with one of the other reviewers of this movie that stated they did not understand how all of a sudden the Dyson character in T2 became obsolete because the general in this film is the one that implemented Skynet. This movie was good but could have been so much better, if the script had been done right. They should have explained more how Judgement Day was postponed and how Skynet still got built after all evidence and work that had been done by Dyson and Cyberdine in T2 was destroyed. This was not explained hardly at all. And I thought the ending was kind of lame, and sad. It just ends with Judgement Day being fulfilled and that is it?? I guess we are supposed to then assume what we know to happen (from all three films) will happen. That John Conner will lead the resistance against the machines. The DVD is good with lots of extra's. Perhaps a director's cut of this film will surface some day and be able to add to some of the mysteries I speak of above.

Summary: Arnold Must have needed the campaign money
Review: I thought this movie was terrible. The first 2 Cameron movies were very dark, which this movie lacked. The humor was ridiculous and not typical Arnold humor."Talk to the Hand" Was one of the most pathetic lines I have ever seen in a movie. You may think that was funny if you were in 2nd grade. Sure there was some action, but if I wanted action I would rather watch Bad Boys II. The story was very weak and I believe most of the original actors did not come back because this script lacked any kind of substance.(except Arnold, he needed the campaign money) Sure Claire Daines is pretty good but the actor who played john connor was aweful. The only good thing about this movie was the The Hot Terminator. Save your money. Let sleeping dogs die.

Summary: Lacked everything
Review: This film is beyong doubt the ending of the Terminator sequals. Arnie looks like he's a fat bloated old man now. The TX was just a rip off of the T1000 liquid metal idea, and there were absolutely no surprises. John Connor looks like he should get a part in the next Planet of the Apes film. His character was pathetic. The effects were boring, morphing, computer graphics on the truck, plasm gun, how boring! It's all been done before! Overall I would give this a zero rating. It was too long forthcoming and was no were near the league of it predessors. It was also too short. Rise of the Machines is a joke and it's hardly surprising hardly any of the actors from the previous films got involved in this one. The idea has been done and is now old hat. Give up now! This is the final nail in the Terminator coffin.

Summary: quite a twist
Review: I was very entertained by this one. Although it is not as
good as the second one. The new villian the T-X. it is the first
villian terminator that is a women and can do twice as more than
the t-1000. I became confused however when I found out that the person from the seond movie Dyson was not really the one involved
in creating skynet. It was one of the twists. I wish cameron did this one but he didnt. They explained more in detail on how
judgement day started.

Summary: Best of the 3
Review: This is the best of the terminator trilogy. Cool to see that they couldn't stop judgement day. The part where arnold s. is on the train that is going through a building. Best action and special effect of any movie this year besides lord of the rings or the matrix. Unpredictable and smart.
