Terrible

Rating: 1/10 (10 July 2003)

Let me start by saying that like many, I am a great fan of previous Terminator movies, and when I heard they are making a new Terminator I was very enthusiastic and imagined all the huge possibilities that movie could have.
When I first saw that Terminator 3 is not directed nor written by James Cameron, my hopes came a bit down. When I saw that role of the evil terminator would be played by a model who has no acting experience I began to get the feeling how this movie would be. I tried to prepare myself for the failure for a long time. But nothing could prepare me for this... The movie was awful. I don't think I have ever been disappointed in any other movie this much.
In T-3 they do everything I hoped they wouldn't do. They have added totally unnecessary humour in spots that it doesn't fit in at all. The script is terrible, and whole movie has no content. The movie totally lacks the dark and somewhat distressing feeling the previous Terminator movies had, especially the first one. When watching T-3 at some points I thought if they are serious about this movie at all. Kristanna Loken:s roleplay is plain annoying, every time she comes to screen she does something stupid... She has lines that a robot surely wouldn't say. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a bit better, but it's obvious that Cameron was the one who was keeping both the story and Arnolds roleplay together. Writers have tried to find new "legendary" comments but fail with an embarrassing way.
Jonathan Mostow:s amateurish directingwork combined with low-class storywriters has made a sequel that totally ruins Terminator series and disrespects its great predecessors. All I can say is I hope I would have never seen this movie. If they do any more of these terrible sequels to get money by abusing the name, I will not watch them.
