Summary: Best Arnold movie in years.
Review: This is definitley the best movie Arnold has done since True Lies in 1994. I liked movies like The 6th Day and Eraser, but this one is much better.John Connor is now in his 20's and he is off the grid i.e. no phone, internet, ot credit cards. Nothing that can be tracked by computer. And becaue of this, the new Terminator is sent back to kill those who would eventually be his top people in the war against the machines. He is eventually found and tracked leading to a bunch of great chase scenes and special effects that are as good or better than T2. The movie gets off to quick start and the action keeps on coming non-stop. A very exciting fast paced movie with a little bit of humor added. The story on a whole is pretty good and the ending helps improve that even better. A must see for all Arnold fans and anyone who likes the Terminator series.

Summary: Horrible Movie
Review: This movie is riddled with inconsitencies, it's the same plot as T2 and the actors are pretty awful. If you are thinking about buying this movie please do not get T2 if you must have one of them in the trilogy. The movie at some points does not make sense example the kid is holding the steering wheel but he never looks at the road. It's pretty awful. rent it first you will see.

Summary: Excellent, underrated action film
Review: These 1-star reviews of this movie are just ridiculous. Obviously written by bored wierdos on the Internet with nothing better to do than pleasure themselves to the scenes from T2 with Linda Hamilton in a T-shirt or something. The fact of the matter is that T3 is a fun, effective action movie and a worthwhile sequel to T2. Arnold does a shockingly good job pulling off a role he started about 20 years ago, though his days of getting away with teleporting onto the screen naked are probably coming to an end. It also has one of the better endings I've seen in the movies lately. While you can tell that Cameron didn't direct this movie (it has a very different "feel" from Terminator or T2), this isn't entirely a bad thing. The bottom line is that this is a well-made and effective action/sci-fi movie.

Summary: Judgment day is inevitable.
Review: Judgment day is inevitable. I'm very surprised at how much I enjoyed T3, it has a very creative story, remember how the plot of the Matrix movies changed in reloaded, well that is what happens here, it is awesome how good this story is, I think people who didn't like this film are the ones who watched T2 and were expecting another one but of course, they didn't get it, I didn't expect anything and I was very surprised by the end result. The things that bring it down: 1. The acting is awful
2. I wish the Edward Furlong had played John Conner
3. Claire Danes constantly saying "just die you bi#ch is annoying But other than these things, I found nothing wrong with this movie. The story is beautiful, it totally twists everything in T2 and I liked it for the story so give it a chance.

Summary: He's Back - The Plot Isn't
Review: I left the cinema after seeing T3 feeling a mixture of disappointment and enjoyment. I am a great fan of the first two films, and it is a shame that the third bucks the seriousness of the first two and becomes in parts a showcase for cheesy soundbites. "I'm back," "I'll be back," "She'll be back," blah blah blah. Not necessary, and it really does detract from the plot when the only reason you're sitting on the edge of your seat is because you're wondering when Arnie is going to say, "Hasta la vista, baby" (and it's very anticlimactic when the phrase makes its inevitable appearence). Fortunately, however, the film is well cast. It is impossible to imagine T3 without Arnie playing "De Terminador" and giving his usual leaden delivery, but Robert Patrick - who played the T-1000 in T2 - left a very hard, villainous act to follow. Loken fits into this role as the coldly expressionless T-X with panache and perfection. Although it would have been nice to see Edward Furlong return to play Connor, Nick Stahl fits into his role well, as Danes fits well into her role as Connor's future wife. The film does suffer a little from the lack of Linda Hamilton playing Sarah Connor (maybe I'm just a purist), and I got the feeling that the character of Catherine Brewster was there primarily to make up for the lack of the franchise's traditional strong female lead. And, of course, Earl Boen returns for a cameo as bungling psychiatrist Dr Silberman - not necessary at all, but it was good to see that link to the older films. I watched T3 in much the same light as The Matrix Reloaded. Ignore the plot, just focus on the action - and there are some excellent sequences in T3, particularly the highway chases and the bathroom sequence where Arnie and Loken battle it out with emotionless, violent perfection. The special effects are also noteworthy. It was essential that Stan Winston returned, as he is the true expert on Terminator makeup and he excels in this film. The computer enhancements are unnoticable, and the image of Arnie with half his face blown off is excellent. It is a shame, however, that the main nuclear sequence lacks the horrifying, bleak and apocolyptic effects of the "Nuclear Nightmare" sequence in T2. Overall, a relatively weak sequel to the first two Terminator films, but perfectly good if taken in its own right as a damned good - if somewhat cheesy - action flick. Let us hope that T4 marks a return to the franchise's more serious roots.

Summary: One Hundred and Seventy Two Independant Films Vs. This
Review: I had always hoped that should there be a Terminator 3 it would focus on John Connor; from his survival of the nuclear war, all the way to his eventual victory over skynet and the terminators. It would have been one hell of a war movie, not to mention a very fresh, logical sequel. But this filth was made instead. This is what we have already seen twice before, but minus the style, the charm, the atmosphere. And, thankfully, every last trace of logic has been sucked from this 'film'. Also missing are James Cameron, Linda Hamilton, and Edward Furlong. The only thing present here is the desire to cash in on what's left of the terminator franchise. The series was stretching logic by T2, but it was so well done as not to matter. I mean, Skynet didn't send back two terminators to different eras. It was never expressly stated that he didn't though, so we can let that slide. Next, we are told in the original that only living flesh can travel through time. This is why time travelers show up naked and without weapons. The antagonist the T-1000 was made of liquid metal; so much for that. But these are very small Trekkie type of complaints. Which brings us to this one. Which tells us that John Connor was 13 in 1994 during the events of the second film; one hell of a trick since he was born sometime in 1984 or 1985.
But apparently he needs to have been thirteen in order to develope a superficial romance with a supporting character.
It turns out that a day before the events of T2, ten-year-old John Connor was making out with Claire Danes in someone's basement somewhere. The new terminator has somehow managed to be even more gimmicky than the T-1000. Which is quite an accomplishment.
First of all 'it' is in the shape of a gorgeous blonde who wears tight red pleather and roams around in sports cars summarily executing future resistance leaders with a few round from a GLOCK or whatever into their unsuspecting skulls.
Okay, okay this unto itself is fun to watch, but THAT'S IT!!!
Unto itself, the gimmick of the terminator being a woman isn't so bad. BUT. Then we find out just what a 'TX' model terminator is. Apparently it is the traditional terminator endoskeleton wrapped in....liquid metal. That's right. Oh, and she can change her hand into a flame thrower, a laser; anything the lazy writers of this film want her to. Pretty impressive, huh?
Did I mention that she can also, without any reason given whatsoever, make cars drive by themselves? Well, she can.
Which begs the question: why the f**k didn't Skynet send her to assasinate Sarah Connors in the first place?
Oh, and speaking of Sarah Connors, she died of cancer or something offscreen by the way. Don't take it so hard, she was brave until the very end. Always a fighter, that one. That's all I have to say about this worthless tripe.
Oh and: $172 MILLION dollars, and a $4 dollar script.
I hope you're all very happy with yourselves.

Summary: "Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines" Rises To New Levels
Review: Though many critics have commented that this new Terminator is basically a retelling of the second film, I would like to begin by saying that I was pleasantly surprised by this third installment of this very successful franchise. Though the film lacked the direction of James Cameron, who was largely responsible for the birth of the Terminator series, it was nonetheless a worthy successor to his earlier works. The movie is sharp, with a very definitive, high-tech look and feel about it. Unlike its predecessors, T3 does not have a lot of character development in it, save for a somewhat disarrayed and poorly developed relationship between John Connor (played by Nich Stahl) and Kate Brewster (played by Claire Daines). The duo, thrown together in a moment of peril, at once loathe one another, only later to discover that they have feelings towards each other. According to the Terminator (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger), Brewster will eventually become Connor's wife, (presumably this will be seen in Terminator 4). The development of these characters are probably the one notable weakness in this film. What makes this movie work are the intense action sequences, as well as the comedic timing of many of Schwarzenegger's lines and situations. In the opening sequence, the Terminator appears just outside a strip club hosting an all-male exotic dancer review. Schwarzenegger's character walks in naked, upon which women begin throwing themselve at him. Upon approaching a male stripper, whose physique is a match to his own, he commands that the stripper gives him his clothes, to which the stripper raises an outstretched palm and stammers "talk to the hand." It is probably one of the funniest moments of the film, and works well to give a moment of liteness to the overall darkness and theme of the story. This movie is definitely a big-budget science fiction/action film with many high budget effects. The new Terminator (played dominently by Kristianna Loken)looks slick and sensual, clad in tight, red leather, combining the sexual appeal of a woman with the lethal force of a killing machine with a single purpose, to hunt down the future leader of a resistance that will rise against the machines and ultimately defeat them. Loken is completely convincing as the T-X, a prototype Terminator with the ability to change shape and create complex weapons. The opening and closing sequences are probably the most haunting. Judgement day has arrived, and the movie closes with the first wave of the attack that will end society as it is presently known. The imagery is haunting, and leaves the viewer with a reminder of the potential threat we all face in the onset of new and better technologies. Not that this was the intent of the filmmaker, but to their credit, it works well in this film. For anyone who is a fan of this series, T3: Rise of the Machines is a great film. For those that haven't seen the earlier two, there is enough exposition in this film to allow even an uninitiated Terminator fan to follow the course of events that unfold in this story. I hesitate to give this movie 5 stars, only because there are some minor weaknesses which, in some ways, makes this a slightly inferior movie to the earlier Terminator films. However, it is a great film and a worthy successor to Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day. The DVD edition of this film contains many extras, from storyboards to the development of some of the films incredible special effects. It also features many interactive extras which are quite enjoyable.
