It's a good cheap thrills comedy but no TERMINATOR film...

Rating: 1/10 (10 August 2003)

T3: I knew it would be bad, I had heard what James Cameron thought about it so I was sort of prepared for a couple of hours of utter nonsense.
To sum it up this film just feels cheap the whole way through. I don't mean the budget (which I am sure was 10 times the first one) but the acting the story the... well the whole film. If you were to remove the action scenes (which just didn't have the same richness as with James Cameron's in T1 and T2) you were left with a basis for a good film.
There were some nice ideas, it's just a shame they left the idea of possibly making an interesting, intelligent classic masterpiece like the first two and went instead for the big action scenes to please the masses...
As a Terminator film T3 sucked. It was appalling and I have no wish to ever see it again thank you very much.
To try and be at all positive, if you ignored the fact that this film has ruined a potentially awesome trilogy (eg: ALIEN ALIENS ALIEN 3 not inc Resurrection) and look at it as a comedy it's not that bad. There are some quite amusing parts from Arnie. But like I said, it's not a touch on the first two and I don't want to see it again.
Someone else on here mentioned the fourth film may be better but I think it's best to put it to rest. Some things are best left alone.

We have found out that no one but James Cameron can do it, unless he is allowed to make his own version T3 lets save us any further embarrassment and bury the Terminator before it's too late.
It is my fondest wish that Arnie wont be back...
Thanks.
Monty.
