Terminator 3 - Rise of the Machines (Widescreen Edition) Customer Reviews (94 - 96 of 105 Reviews)

A worthy installment to the trilogy!
Despite all the bad wrap this movie recieved during it's production cycle, the final product definately is worthwhile. While I think Terminator 2 is still the best film in the series, this movie definately takes a close second. Arnold said he'd be back, and he most definately is. He still kicks major butt as the T-800 terminator, hardly looking a day older than he did in Terminator 2. Kristanna Loken is the sexy and deadly Terminatrix, and she definately looks like she's been one of the best kept secrets amongst movie actresses to show up in quite some time. Nick Stahl and Clair Danes are excellent in their roles as well. The action in the film is top notch, being rivaled only by The Matrix Reloaded, and the story told here is very good, even if it is lacking some of the magic that James Cameron had in the first two films. It's still an excellent addition to the series, and I eagerly await the release of the T3 DVD, as well as the inevitable announcement of Terminator 4.
I can't wait till this film can join The Terminator: Special Edition and the T2: Judgment Day 2 disc set on my shelf.

Classic Arnold!!!
Rise of the Machines was just as much fun to watch as the first two. The Governator had a machine gun and he was shooting it. Plus his face was practically ripped off leaving only his metalic skull showing. What more do you want? T3 had intense robot battles and lots of high tech special effects. I myself am not too big on tons and tons of computer generated images. The CGI and the fact that the movie was a bit slow at times lead to me giving it a 4 out 5. But the fights are awesome and the intensity is high. I think Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines fits nicely with the other two and I am hoping for a T4. Plus the ending rocks!

Blows up real real good
The concept remains the same. The T-101 model terminator (Arnold Schwarzeneggar) comes from the future to protect John Connor (Nick Stahl), the future savior of the human race, from a more advanced model (Kristanna Loken) sent to destroy him. This time, it happens simultaneously with the long-dreaded ascendance of Skynet and the revolt of the machines.

T3 lacks the freshness of T1 and the intelligence and human drama of T2, but it certainly delivers as a special-effects laden thrill ride. It also benefits from some genuinely unexpected events toward the end of the film. Very entertaining.
