Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines (Widescreen Edition) Reviews
Decent Action Film On It's Own, But A Failure In Terms Of The Terminator Franchise. I bought It For 5 Bucks At Wal-Mart!
This film was highly anticipated by many, including myself. I came away from it feeling just blah. Was it terrible? I don't think so, but it did not live up to any potential it had. The biggest flaw of the film is that it remakes Terminator 2 just like T2 remade T1. Cameron had good reason to expand his vision with a massive budget and bravura special-effects but he never forgot that his chase movie was a story about a mother and son and a father figure, personified by Arnold, at it's heart.
What exactly is at the heart of Jonathan Mostow's Terminator 3? It can't be the same regurgitated son and surrogate father thing, can it? I think not. Is it the burgeoning relationship with the Claire Danes character? Nope. Then, what the hell is it? I guess it's about fate and how it is actually set in stone and that no matter what the hell you do, you cannot out smart or defeat destiny. This message contradicts the message of the previous film rather blatantly, which stated that we really are the determining factor of our own respective futures.
So, in T3 you get a bunch of nonsense, a female terminator for one, who looks like a runway model. The whole convoluted Skynet sub-plot, the aging Arnold going through his old routine but now with absurd, over the top emotional scenes! The Claire Danes character standing in as the tough female for Linda Hamilton, who wanted nothing to do with this movie. The recycled chase scequences straight out of Terminator 2 and so on. Even with all those negatives, I have to hand it to Mostow for not chickening out in the end, Judgement Day happens, finally! I'm happy we won't have to watch Terminator 4 following the same exact plot-line as all the other films. Then again, it is Hollywood, so who knows? Hehehe...
This 2-Disc DVD of the movie is average, with some limited special features, not even a decent documentary on the film, only a cheap HBO making of special. The DVD is certainly not a standout by any measure. You want a standout DVD? Check out the T2: Ultimate Edition, that is one slick puppy but if you're a Terminator fan, you definitely own that by now.
Terminator Sucks
I hated all three of these movies, they are all so stupid. Please have one machine kill not three different ones. This movie should not even be here they ended it in the second movie don't bring up bullcrap that they didn't stop it be cuz they did. Arnold acting in here was really bad and so was the entire crew. John connor was the biggest wimp of all time. No wait he's the second the ifrst is mark patton's chracter from NOES 2. You want real Arnold movies get Predator that is way better then this garbage.
