What the Community are Complaining

Rating: 5/10 (19 April 2005)

There has been a few edited parts of Terminator done by the internet forum community. So I will address this. The major theme that seems to hit hard and what the community has done was to re-edit the entire movie where the T-X original program was to upload the virus program onto the mainframe as one of the beginning sequences, and her first choice after that was to find John Connors FIRST, instead of running around shooting high school students which is what supposed to be after that. In fact the internet community, and I agree with them, is that Kate Brewster was an absolute drag to the entire movie and as a result was completely removed from the original movie remake done by this small fan community. Most people who are fans of Terminator aren't the kind of people who watch it once or twice, they can watch, 10 or 20 times. Whenever that is done several scenes become extremely irritating, too long or too short. They kind of stand out like a sore thumb. Those include, Arnie wearing Elton John's Sunglasses, T-X machine's breast size increase, and corny lines about "I like your car/bike", and "you got a big gun". Cheesy lines simply won't do. It didn't display any intelligence as "I'll be back" as in the original Terminator 1 franchise. Overall, if I have to see this movie, I really have to watched the re-edited version (done by myself or community) or it's a torture to watch. The biggest problem I have regarding Terminator 3 are: 1) John Connors is Stupid and way too weak 2) Kate Brewster's a real drag to the entire movie. and 3) T-X machine is too busy killing small cockroaches (e.g. John Connor's friend) instead of trying to find John Connors first or show she was uploading some virus program. The movie, I believe runs too short and the scene where the crane runs demolishing the city is way too long. It's an overkill and cheesy. The decision by Arnie where he wanted to add the extra scene was helpful when his body is crushed through the crane going in the building. Unfortunately the rest of the city demolishing is unnecessary. Kate Brewster scene can be eliminated entirely. There's no place for her in John Connor's life (romance with this woman is out of the question), at least for Terminator 3, because it makes John Connors look like a wimp. This is not just my opinion, but a opinion of a fan community that has to gross out and watch this movie over and over. Mind you, it's a minority who does this, but certain parts really are irritating. How would you like to see Arnie wear Elton John's Sunglasses 20 or 30 times like me? LOL.
