July 1, 200323 yr Okay guys, I have just seen Terminator 3 (a special last minute screening) And just as I had told you all a few months ago, Terminator 3 is the best movie of the year! It blows Terminator 2 way out of the water! Not even close, T3 is so much better then T2 and T1 it isn't close. And that is saying alot! For those who said it would suck *cough*Rune*cough* eat your words July 2nd! What a movie this was! Twists, turns, great action sequences! The best car chase ever on film! (way better then Reloadeds) the Special Effects in this movie make the Matrixs look like kid stuff! I knew T3 would be good! But not as good as it was! I am simply amazed! I'm at a loss for words. Its not nearly as good as another Schwarzenegger (yes the god himself) classic PREDATOR, but it surely is better then T2 and T1. And T2 and T1 were my 2nd and 3rd favorite movies, now they are 3rd and 4th favorites! Go see Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines or risk being Terminated! What an awesome movie! Phlubs Rating: 9/10
July 1, 200323 yr You know Arnold was just in Howard Stern. It was pretty cool. He dosent let his kids watch TV during the week. He also said That T3 is right now rated by critic the best action movie of the year. After that Nick Cage was on they really got on him about his personal life.
July 1, 200323 yr There's not enough pancake makeup in the world to make Arnold look young... Their was no need to make this sequel just Hollywood trying to bank more money... I'm only looking forward To Claire Danes and of course The Violence...
July 1, 200323 yr better than T1??? We'll see about that, T1 was awesome. I'm going in with low expectations, so hopefully I'll be surprised. Arnold just refuses to play the bad guy anymore. That's why I liked him in T1. Now he's got to be the hero all the time. Bleah.
July 3, 200323 yr Arnold steal look great for a 50+ year old guy. I dont think it was a move by Hollywood to just make money. From what I've heard so far is one the best action movie ever, definetely the best this year.
July 3, 200323 yr Terminator 3 was just like Matrix Reloaded; a disappointment. It was mostly action with little substance. They didn't do anything to make you care about the characters. Plus, Arnold showed too much emotion for a machine, taking away from the effect. In T1 and T2, he was very cold and machine like. In this one, he was like another ho-hum action hero. Also, there was some really cheesy dialog and jokes in this movie. Sure, they were very funny, just because it was Arnold, but took away from his character. It took forever to build up to the one plot the movie had. SPOILER WARNING The only really good part of the movie was the ending, which, interesting enough, is given away in the Title. END SPOILERS Overall, it's a cool action movie and the casual fan will like it. Those looking for a movie with substance and that grips you, look elsewhere. This movie does not have it. Don't get me wrong, it was a good movie when you stand it up to other movies, but when you stand it up to T1 & T2, you feel let down.
July 5, 200323 yr Author Bradcore there was plenty of story in T3! The Rise of the Machines. And I should have told you guys. Arnold may seem more human in this movie because he is a new model_________ T-850 which is basically the T-800 but the 850 acts more human. But I thought he was more machine in this then in T2. T1 he was pure machine. This movie is better then T2. And T4 will feature the war. Unlike Jurassic Park----Terminator actually has a story to continue. T4 will be the end of the Terminator series. And also Bradcore what did you expect? T3 not to have action?
July 5, 200323 yr Bradcore there was plenty of story in T3! The Rise of the Machines. I know there was story in T3. It was a fairly decent one as well. Like I said, it was a pretty good movie. However, it lacked the depth of the other two movies. There was so much more in terms of depth in T1 and T2 that this one just seemed like a disappointment. They didn't really do anything to make us care about the characters. I had been waiting so long for a Terminator 3, and to get this is just disappointing. And it's not just me who feels this way. When I left the theater, nearly everyone in there was complaining about it. Like is said, it's not a bad movie, it just doesn't live up to the previous two.
July 8, 200323 yr First of all Reloaded rocked in my opinion. But as for T3. Sucked. To cheesy for me for one. To many jokes, nothing like the originals. And the thing that pissed me off the most was the chick! Sorry, but models shouldn't act out as female robot thingys. It just shouldn't happen. Reloaded had it's problems, but hell! It wa better than that s***. Arnold needs to stops trying to be the actor he once was and start letting himself get old and fat. Now if you will excuse me I am going to go wait in line for the only movie that matters to me right now. Pirates of The Caribean
July 10, 200323 yr T3 is a decent movie. deffinitely an improvement over T2, which suck, but nothing close to T1 which was truely a great movie.
July 17, 200323 yr I gave T3 *** out of 4 -good escapism, doesn't make you think too much, good action, moves very quickly To me T1 is ***1/2 - great premise, great action, great villain (even for its low budget - Cameron was a no-name at the time) T2 is **1/2 ... Great effects and great action but there are some major lull spots in it and it does get overlong I would rank them 1,3,2 T3 does not have many boring spots (compared to first 15 minutes of new character backstories and stupid dance orgy of Reloaded due out on DVD Oct. 14th BTW), It moves very quick and the first chase scene where the Termanatrix controls like 5 vehicles at the same time is worth the admission price...I did like the switch to Arnold that he does something very nasty and evil in the future before being re-programmed and sent back in time (watch the movie to find out what)...Its cool towards the end when you start to see the early model Terminators (i.e. T-1) power up..kinda like the Emperor getting his army in Attack Of The Clones T4 can either be all future apocalyptic battles or another let's go back in time and change things again...
July 21, 200323 yr I have not seen any of the T movies *don't kill me!* ^_^ But I might get into it. I was never a Terminator fan, but for the action and graphics, I could cope to see them. I never say Reloaded though, thats one movie that I defiantly am going to get on DVD. Its just as good as the Theater, plus the stereo surround sound. Plus, you get all the pop corn and soda you want at a home theater. I saw Pirate of the Caribbean though, and that was awesome. A visual effects are nothing less than excellent, and it has a nice amount of action too. I can see that Reloaded, Terminator, and Pirates will all be Oscar nominees for visual effects when the time comes.
July 21, 200323 yr Couple of things on T-3: First, if you're going out to the movies for a story line or culture, you don't go out to see a Terminator movie! lol Second, in the grand scheme of things, it was a fun movie to watch. Lastly, this movie would have been SO much better without the cheesy Hollywood devices! I want to see someone make a movie where no one does any of the following: 1. Fumble/Drop/Fumble AND Drop Car Keys when trying to escape killer 2. Trip and fall when running away from aforementioned killer 3. Stop for sentimental moment with inanimate object while being chased by said killer 4. Allow said killer an opportunity to grab you by the foot/ankle/pant leg 5. Stop for sentimental moment while bullets and rockets whiz past your head and said killer in hot pursuit!
July 21, 200323 yr Author Your dead wrong. Terminator has more complex a story then any other movie including the Matrix. Just try to figure out things or figure out possibilities on their time travel! Its human vs. Machines, a story the Matrix Bros. Admitted they ripped off from Terminator. Terminator has a very deep story. T2 is the story of a machine becoming more a man, a father to the future leader of the resistance. And as much as I like T3, I saw it some more, its not better then T2. But its very good. T3 has a story. Very good story. Its got Judgment Day, the Rise of the Machines. The beginning of the end. Very good movie.
