Summary: awful
Review: Why. WHY?! This movie joins Alien Resurrection and Jurassic Park 3 as movies that took a good idea, ran way too long, and ended up stupid. this had so much potential and it just died. We sat in the theater laughing because this is histerical, but it wasn't supposed to be. The "funny" parts were boring and the serious part cracked me up. Gotta say though, that the part where she locks him in a dog cage is kinda funny, again not meant to be, but it is. Oh, and why would they pick Claire Danes for this? She did nothing but scream throughout the whole thing, the relevation regarding her in the future was seen a mile away, and where was Linda Hamilton? I'll tell you; she probably took one look at the script and wisely said hells no. So easy solution, we kill her off.

So sad. go watch the frist two, forget yuo ever saw this one, and enjoy your Terminator world where there is a possibility of a happy future.

Terminatrix was hot though...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Aaahh-nald is back
Review: This movie is nowhere near the excellence of Terminator 2: Judgement day. Don't downplay this movie though because Arnold and the crew does not disappoint. T3 is a high-budget, high-octane action movie with wonderful f/x and a non-stop action, glock-in-your-face plot. Plot twists and good acting help this movie to continue the Terminator series. T3 isn't just a loud noise, big explosion movie. Check this movie out for heart-poundong action and an interesting plot line.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Arnold is Back! So am I!
Review: "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" is the best thing that's happened all year since Arnold Schwarzenegger became governor of California! Blissful nirvana has been achieved with this masterpiece! As Aristotle himself said, Arnold Schwarzenegger is the Prime Mover of all things. He is the definition of deification! A female robot called the T-X (Kristanna Loken) was sent back in time to rid John Connor (Nick Stahl) and his future rebel officers. Kate Brewster (Claire Danes) is along for the ride to prevent judgment day from happening. But, as the T-800 (Schwarzenegger) said, the future is inevitable. Caskets slung over one shoulder and a machine gun in the other hand, pure lordage. Destruction reigns in the city and this movie is awesome. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a proprietor of the galaxy!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A good transition to the Real Terminator Wars
Review: I always get a kick out of reading some of these reviews, especially the ones that seem 'upset' because somebody actually had the audacity to continue the Terminator series to its natural conclusion. Each of the Terminator movies are good movies in their own right, including T3 which is a transition movie. T3 finally moves the plot away (and forward I might add) from trying to stop the inevitable ("There is not fate but what you make...") to a more realistic plot line and natural conclusion, i.e. the rest of John Conner's adult life as the leader of humanity AFTER the holocaust.

I find it silly when I read reviews which say things like: "James Cameron closed the series with T2." Ummm, excuse me, but you could also say the same thing about T1. I always found it quite a 'stretch' in T2 where all of a sudden a 'second' terminator is sent back to finish the job, etc...Weelll, wasn't that the plot of the first movie??? To me, the entire premise of T2 (i.e. that you could really change the future) is far less believable than the premise of T3 (that the future has a way of still unfolding as predicted). At the end of T3, the thing the very satisfying thought that entered my mind was: "It's about time..."

The point I'm trying to make is that is always seemed just silly to me to really think that you could 'change' the outcome of the future (by going back in time) when the future has already been lived. The holocaust still had to happen one way or another and that's the point of the 3rd movie. To me, as much as I enjoyed T2, the plot was a sham, that you could actually 'prevent' the future. T3 at least gets the series back on track. All in all I would say the following about each of the 3 movies:

1) Terminator 1: Easily the best plot line of the 3 with a tight, well written, and original script. The special effects were good for their day but do not stand up to today's standards. I speak primarily about the end of the movie which used the 'stop' animation.

2) Terminator 2: Original state-of-the-art special effects, better acting from Linda Hamilton and young John Conner. A rehash of the plot of Terminator 1. Still, all-in-all a very good movie.

3) Terminator 3: Poor acting by the actor portraying the (young) adult John Conner. Good strong female character offsetting this lead role drawback. Arnold S. still looks good, but its obvious that this is one robot that has aged. The plot doesn't develop much until the end, but the ending is extremely satisfying, even though it's also a new beginning. Although a very light plot (until the end), it's a somehow quite satisfying movie.

4) Terminator 4: Well, we'll see, won't we....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Pure Action!!!
Review: Terminator 3 was the second best in the Trilogy. I like it alot. The movie was non-stop action. The end was great. "She'll be back".Arnold is the best action star ever.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Let me crush all of the Cameron fans' beliefs.....
Review: (...)

This movie was without a doubt the best film of the summer. It has a lot of comic relief which was absolutely nessessary, or else this movie would have been most likely the darkest ever to exist. It's not a happy movie, and trust me, T2 seems like a teletubbies movie compared to this one. For everyone who ever wanted the bad guys to win, this is your movie. For everyone who truly wanted Cameron's story to live on, it couldn't have been done better. For everyone who wished they could see more of the war, you will, not in this installment though. For everyone who thought the ending messed up the plot of the 1st 2, read on.

James Cameron is a perfectionist. In a way, he set the series up for a 3rd. In the end of T2, the rest of model 101's arm was still in the factory, from what I'm aware of, that's what the novels continued from. You all think that the ending killed everything that was done in the past. Think about this now...think hard. Having Judgement Day happen only verified the last 2 movies. If Judgement Day never happened, then neither would anything in Terminator or T2. I read the prologue to one of the books and it was skynet talking, and it said something to this effect, "There's many different timelines that exist now, the original, the one when the first terminator was sent, when the T-1000 was sent, and so on. At some point, they'll all make one timeline, although, 2 things have always remained. The existance of John Connor, and me." I read a review that someone wrote about how you really can't think about things that deep in this series, and they're right. If you think about it, the entire storyline is pointless.

Stop thinking too hard, watch the movie again, and you'll agree. After waiting 12 years, this was worth it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT EXCITEMENT TO THE END!
Review: Wow! I really liked this film! It was action-packed and had some special effects. The DVD is full of extra and special features along with the great feature film! Although, Arnold Schwartzinegger only has a few lines, it still managed to be a breakthrough film!
If you like 1 & 2 - you will love T-3! It is definately NOT suitable for any children! There are even some spooky parts, that gave me the shivers! So please do not let any children under 13 watch it either! Because It may follow waking nights with nightmares!
I recommend this movie to any adult that likes action films, even if you're not an Arnold fan!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Okay movie - but has obvious ulterior motive.
Review: T2 was a simply awesome movie. At the end Director Cameron closed the time loop thus putting a neat and tidy end to the series. The Terminator series ended with T2. Period.

Now how is Hollywood to deal with this? Visions of an unending franchise and dump trucks full of money have, as usual, overcome good taste and saddled us with T3... to be followed by T4.. then T5 .....ad infinitum... ad nauseum.

Just wait if you don't believe me. The ending of the superior film, T2, resulted in there being no future to send more Terminators back from. Future history was rewritten. For T3 a brand new futire is invented to keep the franchise going. Worse we get a totally ridiculous idea that a highly sophisticated computer program that controls all the weapons in the world, Skynet, could exist in the lines of the internet itself without a server. Oh yeah right, sure, you bet. The US Military has it's freaking nuclear weapons connected to the World Wide Web so that some shadow virus can launch everything. Pull my other leg!

Note at the end of T3 that it is hanging for another sequel. This is the true purpose of T3... a Neverending Franchise. Expect T4 before too long.

Just as the Alien series went to the toilet when the supremely arrogant Sigourney Weaver gained control over the plots of 3 and 4 (did anyone else notice this?) the Terminator series is headed the same way with hack Director after hack Director turning out schlock that James Cameron wouldn't use to line his garbage cans.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent Film, But with an Unfinished Ending
Review: I didn't see either Terminator 1 or 2, but thought Terminator 3 was quite good. The entire film really holds your interest, and the plot is quite decent. Arnold Schwartzenegger looked great, and acted well. The only reason I am rating it four stars, instead of five, is that the ending left me feeling disappointed...they sort of stopped in the middle, as if they are planning to make Terminator 4.
