Most Unnecessary Sequel Ever

Rating: 1/10 (22 August 2015)

What a waste of time and space, a true turd after the diamonds of Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day. This is the worst kind of sequel, in that it kinda poisons the memory of the films that came before it a little bit, negating the perfection they left in their complimentary tales.
But there's more bad than that. Nick Stahl registers zero as John Conner, and Claire Danes is miscast in a thankless role to begin with. Arnold is back in the groove, but it's schtick by this point because the script feels so desperate and forced as it tries to take the franchise in a new direction. The ending is just sour and rotten and corruptive of the mythology that was nicely tied up by the films before it.
T3: No fun, no smarts, no good. This is Hollywood at its worst: Milking a franchise that should've logically stopped at sequel in order to generate a few more hundred millions.
