T3...?! Old' Jimmy Cameron must be laughing his ass off...

Rating: Null/10 (19 August 2003)

"I'll be Back"...
When those words were originally uttered in the classic original, many people felt a chill leap up their spine. Now ask yourselves...WHY?

Was it because of the hilarious 'in-jokes'?
Was it the amazingly over-elaborate 'set-pieces'?
Was it the witty dialogue and Arnie's constant two-liners?
Was it the awful mis-casting/bad acting?
Was it the horribly inappropriate music? ...What's that, "NO" I hear you scream?
Then why, OH WHY, does Terminator 3 reach down into the big stinking barrel of sequel cliché's in order to try and make this film a success?
The plot is as this: Add Terminator 2 minus all the bits that build excitement and tension and you pretty much have it...except 'SPOILER ALERT' the fact they change the concept that you control your own fate, and merely replace it with the exact opposite.
I honestly can't go through all the things that are so so wrong with this film, so instead I'll list the things that ARE good... .........
So there you have it. That was actually a lie for shock value, in all honesty, there are a couple of nice shots, and despite the third-world countries that could have had their economy sorted by the cost of the stunts, one or two actually come off not looking that bad, despite the constant trails of CGI
Now I like Breakdown, and actually thought this film might' be half decent; I wasn't expecting the darkness of the first, I wasn't expecting the bravado mixed with storyline of the second...I just expected...well...something!

No decent musical score, Stahl must make Furlong wish he were still higher than a kite, and poor old Arnie. My god he tries, you can see it in his face...but with probably the worst assortment of lines ever constructed for a man who also starred in 'Last Action Hero,' he must've read the script and thought 'Money Money Money.'
No Linda Hamiliton, no Michael Biehn, no James Cameron, no Edward Furlong...even Guns N Roses were missed from this...probably worst film of the year. (And no, I haven't seen Gigi yet.)
Please avoid, maybe then everyone will completely discount this, and a PROPER third instalment of the Terminator will be made. I for one will have my fingers well and truly crossed.
[By the way, I have never once come on IMDB to abuse a terrible film, nor have I jumped on any bandwagons or consulted other people's opinions. I just decided to write this review as a warning for those out there that still enjoy films on a higher level than tripe such as xXx' and Jeepers Creepers 2.']
On a scale of 1-10 = 5. Must Try Harderor just not at all.
