awful addition to the franchise

Rating: Null/10 (2 August 2003)

Apart from the last 5 minutes ( which are truly excellent ) this has to rank as one of the worst films ever. The first hour is simply t2 with an vastly inferior terminator to the T100 ( budget, morphing costs ). The first 2 movies had well crafted scripts. T3 simply jumps to & from various set pieces leaving massive holes in the plot. Arnie almost places his role as a spoof of the original 2 movies, what where the sunglasses all about???
The humour in the original 2 movies played heavily on the complete lack of emotions in a robot(cyborg) and was for the most part very dark.

The hole idea around the terminator is that he's a ruthless killing machine ( who taught him not to kill HUMANS in this movie??????? )

The movie was clearly aimed at a younger audience to boost revenue. It has all the hallmarks of action movies from past decade ( excessive reliance on gadgets )and is very much a late nineties take on the terminator. It plays very much like a straight to video sequel of a cinema hit ( see dusk till dawn 2&3 )
If you like modern chart music and get your kicks form Big Brother you'll love ever minute
for everyone else avoid....
