Nothing to do with Cameron's Terminator..This is simply A Spin off!

Rating: 1/10 (26 December 2004)

I don't consider it as a sequel to James Cameron's Terminator. For me the Futuristic-Present sci-fi drama was told completely by the creator in Terminator 2: J D. This movie has not thing to do with the Terminator Franchise.
The producers simply make this movie for milking the Stupid Hardcore Terminator Fans. But True Fans like us treat this Spin-off as a funny Forgettable Crape.
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (Spoilers******)
"T3" is the highly anticipated installment in one of Hollywood's most innovative and celebrated franchises, originated by writer-director James Cameron with the 1984 cult hit The Terminator. With the blockbuster 1991 sequel, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Cameron redefined the science fiction/action film hybrid.
This movie was from the minds of John Brancato, Micheal Ferris and Tedi Sarafian. From their story, director Jonathan Mostow raped Cameron's baby, by rechanging the last epic.
A decade has passed since John Connor(Nick Stahl) helped prevent Judgment Day - the day Skynet's highly developed network of machines was fated to become self-aware and destroy mankind. But August 29, 1997 came and went without incident, despite Skynet's twice failed attempts to kill Connor and wage war on humanity. Now 22, Connor lives "off the grid" - no home, no credit cards, no phone and no job. No record of his existence. No way he can be traced by Skynet. Until..
Skynet's most sophisticated cyborg killing machine T-X(Kristanna Loken) sent back through time to complete the job left unfinished by her predecessor, the T-1000. And she is exponentially more powerful, dangerous, destructive and beautiful than every Terminator that has come before her.
But this time, Connor isn't the only target on Skynet's hit list - unsuspecting veterinarian Kate Brewster (Claire Danes) will see her distant past and promising present collide with an unimaginable future. When Connor and Kate realize that Judgment Day is rocketing toward them - with only three hours between them and the end of the world - their only hope for survival is a replica of the cyborg Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) Connor's mysterious - and now obsolete - former assassin. Together, they must forestall the looming threat of Judgment Day or face the fall of civilization as we know it.!
By watching this piece of disaster I thought, for what reason this happened? Did Mario Kassar and Andrew Vajna get more Greedy this time? Or Arnold wanted a Cinematic boost before his political debut?
First of all absence of James Cameron in every sense. His characters were treated badly, the Terminator punch lines were now reduced for comic relief, his visionary world turned upside down.
The soul of the movie was seen as a big round hole when it comes to music. The absence of Brad Fiedel, in which the classic "Clank" sound gives the signature of Terminator, is thrown out in this version. The new replacement for Fiedel (Marco Beltrami) was the worst part after Mostow.
Without Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong, or even William Wisher Jr. (Cameron's co-writer) director Jonathan Mostow managed to bring a Science Fiction tale in a greater level and fails miserably. The early draft storyline was John Connor as a successful computer programmer, who ends up being instrumental in the activation of Skynet.
Nick Stahl tried his best to bring up the matured John Connor who transformed as savior of the world but was not convincing. The Strength of all Terminator movies was that they had a strong villain but this one break that rule. The neither TX character nor Kristanna Loken has the charisma of the Dark Force which was portrayed powerfully by Robert Patrick & Arnold in the Original movies.
The only strength to the movie was Arnold himself even though he agreed to do this lame chapter. Please don't do another Terminator movie!
I give this movie 0 out of 10.
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines = Terminator For WHAT ?
