Unworthy to carry the name Terminator!

Rating: Null/10 (2 July 2003)

I watched this film eagerly as a fan of the first two films and was disappointed. James Cameron's characters and story has been changed (in the words of monty python) "for something completely different"! The Terminator series is a world envisioned by Cameron and the director of this film took the story along his own path. Granted, the special effects were excellent as was the acting of the two terminators, but Linda Hamilton was wise to back away from this third film as it had no heart. It's an excellent action film with its humorous moments, but the true fans will see this film as an unworthy creation undeserving of the title Termiantor 3. This film does not make the terminator series a trilogy as it begins a whole new story into the wars after Judgement Day. Its title should only be "Rise of the Machines" for this film failed to live up to the TERMINATOR standards created by the cast and crew of the first two films.
