Summary: Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines
Review: AWESOME MOVIE! Arnold is not only our govenator but the TERMINATOR. Great special effects and Claire Danes does a great job in filling in for Linda Hamilton as the tough chick who will save the human race. I highly recommend this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "TERMINATOR 3" BLASTS ITS WAY ONTO DVD!
Review: THE FILM:
While falling just slightly short of "Terminator 2 - Judgement Day," in terms of originality, "Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines" makes up for in great humor, wild plots-twists, superb acting, kick-#^% action sequences, and some of the most realistic visual effects ever committed to film! The one area where "T3" succeeds where ther first two failed is in it's moral: we human beings put too much faith in machines, and it will soon come back to haunt us one day! A great action epic! Movie Grade: A+

THE DVD:
The DVD of "Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines" is an incredible experience! Full of insight into the making of the film, it also features an entertaining gag reel, as well as a deleted scene that will make all "Terminator" fans laugh until they're blue in the face! Most of all, the sound-and-picture quality is as crisp as DVD Videos may ever get! I highly recommend that you make "T3" a part of your collection before the machines rise! DVD Grade: A+

Summary: If you like Arnold, read this!!!
Review: Terminator 3- rise of the machines is better than terminator and terminator 2- judgement day, because there is more action, more gore, more of everything a movie needs in order for a watcher to enjoy it. If you like Arnold Swarzenneger, you would like this hollywood movie!!! BUT, this movie has some neggatives in it too- like the man the terminatrix after is a real wimp, in the 2nd one he was tough, but in this one he just wanted to give-up. Arnold is on the humanity side, and the terminatrix is the evil machine, in this movie the evil one is a female type cyborg. Scary, Rated-R, wouldn't reccomend for children under 13
If you want to know more... Buy that DVD from Amazon.com where it's always cheap!!!

Summary: Great action flick!
Review: I've been a fan of Arnold for some time. He's not a serious dramatic actor, so I don't try to compare him to more serious Oscar-caliber actors. He's an action star and there's no questioning this. He does it with a certain flair and his one-liners would sound ridiculous spoken by anyone else.

Terminator 3 is a great sequel to Terminator 2, with more car chase sequences and firearms usage. When it comes to action movies for 2002-2003, Terminator 3 is one of the best.

My only wish is that they come out with Terminator 4 and show more of the future resistance members fighting Skynet instead of 5-10 minute snippets of T-100s (w/o any skin) firing lasers, walking on skeletons with the gliders hovering over the air.

What made this movie even better was seeing how Skynet really got started and how the US Air Force was involved.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Response and recommendation.
Review: In response to Ryan Capuano's review (and others?) who had trouble believing the TX was stronger than the T-850 (Arnold's character) because she is smaller - new technology generally IS smaller, more compact, and more powerful. Take cell phones for example. It makes sense that a new and improved Terminator model could also be a smaller and more compact machine.

As for the movie, it was a pretty good action movie. The effects were improved over the previous movies - when parts of the terminator get blown away, you can actually see through the gaps and holes in it, unlike the previous films where they might have stuck make-up over top of his face to simulate the cyborg skeleton underneath the flesh.

I've read some complaints about character development. I tend to agree, although it wasn't a fatal flaw in the movie. In T2, Arnold's character was able to learn to mimic human behavior and during the course of the movie, he became more human as he learned more about them. This movie lacked that. His character didn't seem to have that ability (except for the funny "Talk to the hand" gag) and that was part of the magic of T2.

Something funny to ponder - in the scene at the convenience store, when the T-850 (Arnold) grabs food and supplies from the store, he pauses at the sunglasses display. When he walks out, he's wearing his pair of expensive glasses ($175 a pair). Uh-huh. Tell me he found THOSE on one of those cheap convenience store racks!

So, it doesn't quite measure up to T2, but I still recommend it as a good action movie and a decent close to the story. Much better than some other action movies of late.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Terminator 3: AWESOME!
Review: Along with X2 (XMEN 2), I personally feel this was the "perfect" movie. Characters, story, humor, a little romance between Stahl and Danes with great effects. TX (Loken) was absolutely killer. A sharp female appearance, but deadly as hell. Yes guys, I'm sure you can agree with me that there are TX's (in their own right) walking amongst us here on earth right now - lol. Still a mesmerizing movie with a surprising ending that leaves you with chills. Definitely should be a part of everyone's DVD collection!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best movie and DVD ever!
Review: There's nothing to say here. Waiting for T4.

Summary: oh man....
Review: Boring, predictable. Ok, so it's a movie, I know I'm supposed to suspend a certain amount of disbelief. But a 46-ton 5-axle crane keeping up with a Toyota pick up swerving through the city? You've got be freaking kidding me?! It's got a maximum road speed of about 51 MPH with a 0-60 of all of 10 minutes. I could keep ahead of it in my diesel Jetta for Pete's sake. Let me explain, it does not have ANY cornering abilities, none... zip... never had any. Give me Ronin, Usual Suspects, Good Fellas, Casino, and of course Heat. But this? Sigh...what a wasted evening. Oh where art thou James Cameron.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Absolutely horrible, unecessary sequel
Review: This terrible, unecessary film redeems none of qualities that made its two predecessors so enjoyable. Arnold's acting is much more wooden than usual, Nick Stahl's John Conner is incredibly flat, and the film would be no different if Claire Danes were written out of it. It has virtually no story that Mostow has obviously tried to hide by slamming the audience with sequence after sequence of mindless action. Its no wonder Cameron wanted no part, he knew to leave well enough alone. This was made for one reason and one reason only, if you watch the special features you can almost see the dollar signs in the producers eyes.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: You are Terminated!
Review: Well again Arnold makes us love and hate robots. Great action and special effects, and even good acting make this well worth buying. I only wish the advanced robot he is up against was a little more animated. For an improved model that was used to fool humans she didn't seem as believable as Arnold. Not enough dialog for her.

The story line is good, we see John as an adult hiding from life and travelling around to prevent any records of his existence. Even though they destroyed Skynet, he is not sure it could be prevented. His training from his mother Sarah and his own instincts pay off. Some incredible chase sequences will keep you glued to your seat.

The two disc set is loaded with extras. The sound and picture quality is incredible. None better. You will almost feel like you are in the movie. On a Big Screen High Definition TV it is like being at the theater. I highly recommend this Widescreen Edition. Any fan of Terminator movies or Schwarzenegger will love it as a gift.
