Another sequel screwing up the first 2....

Rating: 1/10 (1 August 2005)

When I first heard they were making Terminator 3 I shook my head in disgust. T2 is my favorite movie of all time and to top it would be impossible, not because Cameron is this all-mighty director, although he is very good, but that the movie was just done too well in T2. From the directing, acting, plot, the score, everything. T3 has none of these traits and that's what makes it a garbage movie.
I hate how Hollywood lets movies like this be created and ruin the image behind the first two completely. Just like the Alien movies, the first two were ruined by the memories of the last two. It's too bad that directors would rather make money than let people remember what the good movies stood for.
On to crap 3.
T3- First off, where is the music? The theme that the die-hard Terminator fans have known to love wasn't until the ending credits. Not that that makes a movie but I was looking forward to hearing it in the beginning. Not only that but there was a no music until about half-way in the movie it seemed like. It was just quiet and lame.
The beginning scene was total ridiculous. He goes into the male strip bar only to say talk to the hand and NOW! to his hand. It was so lame and a complete rip-off of the T2 bar scene.
The movie also have a very rush feeling to it to me. There was no character development what-so-ever. The love story didn't flow at all. Her fiancé is killed and she really didn't show any remorse or sadness that he was dead for more than a few seconds. When the Terminators first come together and the truck bounces over the girl I think I laughed out loud at how stupid that was. Not only that but the TX wasn't even scary to me and seemed less advanced than the T-1000. Robert Patrick was far more freaky as the creepy T-1000 than that girl ever was. Also, the T-1000 really couldn't be damaged. You could slow him down by freezing him or shooting but he always came back together because he was liquid. The TX was still metal underneath and could be damaged, which didn't seem more advanced to me. They couldn't come up with a better idea than the T-1000 though so they create this crap of combining the two Terminators into one. Retarded.
The humor in the movie was terrible and really took away from the Terminator feel in my opinion. The Terminator is supposed to be a killing machine, ruthless, relentless, careless. But this Terminator was cracking jokes and not really hurting anyone. In T2 it made sense but only because John was teaching him not to hurt people, and he still did. Also, when the Terminator was carrying the coffin and shooting at the police why didn't he kill anyone? Again, this made no sense because John didn't teach him not to do this so why didn't he kill anyone? I can't comprehend how people like this crap.
I think a major clue that the movie was going to suck before even seeing it was that it was rated PG-13. Any movie called "Terminator" should automatically be rated R. The other movies were more violent whereas this Terminator was a damn kids movie. Since when were Terminator movies supposed to be funny? What are they having the Terminator cracking jokes? In the second movie it made more sense because John was teaching the Terminator human speech. In this one he was just throwing out lines with no one teaching him anything. I wanted to throw a knife at the screen this movie was so bad.
One thing that I didn't get is that all of a sudden in this Terminator film he can crash through pretty much any wall, smash marble, get beaten to a pulp and he is fine, not to mention put his head back on after it was knocked off which makes no sense, and fight his programming. The film was complete garbage and frankly I'm shocked that as many people liked it as I see on this board. I read people said he was a different model from the other Terminators, but when did they ever explain that in T3? Makes no sense.
I have a theory that most people enjoy crap movies with no plot and just mindless action. Sadly, this is true because people would rather be entertained than have to think and this is a prime examples of that. Just like many people liked the trashy movie Independece Day because it "kept your attention", the same people like T3 because of the lame car chase, or the fight scene between the TX and the Terminator.
I watched the making of T2 and Cameron had first written the script to have T2 as the final Terminator. The beginning scenes were actually Conner and team taking over Skynet and destroying it and finding unused 101's, and that's when he sent it back in time. However, that was cut due to run time of the movie. I for one am going to pretend T3 does not exist and that they did in fact stop the war in T2 because I can's stand the idea of T3. I wish I could go back in time and stop this movie from being created. I give it -10 out of 10. Utter garbage.
