Advantages: Special effects:Arnold Schwazneggar Disadvantages: Storyline
...that all the previous two terminator movies had. First they was an overuse of special effects to impress the audience.
Then the storyline was too predictable:Humans fight with machines in the future, one man can only save the human race by leading human rebels, a robot (played by a woman) is sent back in time to kill the leader when he was still young. Schwazneggar plays the saving robots that was ironically sent back in time by the same man that ...

Advantages: More of what old terminator fans love and more. Disadvantages: Same as above which for non fans is a bad thing.
I have enjoyed all the terminator films so far and this one is definatly not an expection to the rest.
Everything that I have loved from the other films was in it from the cheesy lines to the manic gun play and explosions. I also enjoyed finding more information on the story and how the machines took over. The story impressed me more with this movie than the others which were more focused on random blowing things up and just defending the connors.
... ...than the last few films aswell and some of the machines now looking more realistic brang the film to life more than the previous films could.
Not a perfect action movie but I am a fan of the series and am more eager for another film in the franchise to be installed although with Arnie being a governor now someone has some big shoes to fill :) ...

Advantages: Another good action packed high quality effects sequel Disadvantages: none
...another fantastic sequel in the terminator film series.Great action packed film with excellent stunts and fantastic special effects and even contains a slight twist to the first two films.The film also contains some comical moments, and,Arnie yet again plays the terminator fantastically.Full of guns, violence,explosions.
I found myself glued to my seat,it really is a fantastic film from start to finish,and you find yourself not wanting to miss a ... ...the terminator series.
I feel the producers have the done themselves proud.This is a fast action packed film ,with rarely any slow parts and I would highly recommend that all Arnie fans and Terminator fans give this film a viewing.
In my opinion all the actors play there parts to make this film as great as it is,and Jonathon Mostow has done a fantastic job with the directing.

...a much better version of terminator than arnie, and has been sent back in time to kill John Connor, and his future wife (what's her name? She's played by Clare Danes, anyway).
Que Arnie, who, once locating John Connor, gets into an absolutely amazing fight with his evil counterpart in a public bathroom.

John at one point says to Arnie ... ...The Terminator is an institution, and everyone who has grown up with these films will not be disappointed.

TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES will be released domestically on July 2, 2003 Arnold Schwarzenegger reprises his trademark role as the Terminator, heading a cast that includes Nick Stahl (In the Bedroom, The Thin Red Line), Kristanna Loken (Panic) and Claire Danes (The Mod Squad, William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet). Stan Winston the renowned character creator and original Terminator designer returns to supervise the ... ...have I managed to see Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines? Well I haven't - this is some of the background to the series and the feasibility of a second sequel, considering the extremes to which Sarah and John Conner and the Terminator went to prevent the War with the Machines from happening. After Terminator 2: Judgement Day, everyone was left thinking “Is that it?” At first you might have thought there’s no (plausible) way they can do a third one, ...

...be fair to the director, terminator 3 - rise of the machines, has its moments. it is well paced; hence it keeps you from noticing how uncomfortable warner village cinema seats actually are, and some of the action sequences are quite astonishing. especially the car chase sequence. the special effect shots are up to the standard that people would expect from a summer blockbuster these days. particularly during john connors introductory monologue and ... ...the movies problems. at times terminator 3 appears to be a spoof of its two predecessors and the new bad guy the t-x simply appears not menacing at all. kristanna lokken tries her best but is not anywhere near the level of the original terminator or its '91 successor robert patricks t-1000 and that is the main problem of the movie. a terminator movie lives and dies with its fear it can induce in the viewer. when i saw the first one on video as a ...

Advantages: very entertaining teenager - adult movie Disadvantages: none
...film directed by johnathan mostow terminator three rise of the machines is a brilliant third follow up story to the last two terminators. The multi million dollar film set is set in the heart of america and is very cleverly directed using very realistic computer graphics to enhance the fighting scenes. The film is based on artificial inteligence in the future the genre of the film is mixed between science fiction and and action and adventure but ... ...blended in with the previous terminator films . If you have watched the previous films you will notice some co incidences within the film. The film is made better than the first two because it has a lower age certificate than the previous two this makes the film appeal to the younger generation aswell as the older generation. The end of the film is brilliant because the situation of what they wanted to do rapidly changes for the worse and they begin ...

Advantages: The finale to a great Sci-Fi Action series Disadvantages: Feels at times like nothing more than a TV movie
...T100 was meant to go. Terminator 3 has a similar effect on it's predecessors as Alien Resurrection has on the existing Alien trilogy; it's like rephrasing a question or someone who continues to elaborate when you already got the picture - but they did make Arnold look like he broke into the new millennium quite well some 10 years on the last movie. The effects are good, very nice… and the car chase is quite 'awesome'. If you're a fan, Terminator ...

Advantages: fast paced and exciting Disadvantages: lead actor not charismatic enough to stand out next to Schwarzenegger
This is not up to the standard of the original two terminators but it is a good sequel .It is good fun and anyway any film with Arnold Schwarzenegger in it is worth watching. You get what you expect, the body count is high, lots of stuff gets blown up or smashed or whatever and I found the ending to be fairly unpredictable which is a must in an action film. The lead actor is not charismatic and lets face it , you have to have a good screen presence ...

Advantages: Funny to watch Arnold Disadvantages: Very poorly made film, too dependent on special effects
...seen, I regret to say. Terminator 1 & 2 were two of the best action films of recent years. With Inovative Technology. So why ruin it with a third? Just to complete the trilogy?!
The film was ridiculously packed with special effects. Which may be percieved by some to be visually spectacular but isnt that all Hollywood is now?
Maybe all the special effects would be accompanied by great acting. Unfortunately this is not the case. Arnold was same as ... ...film was all cgi effects and didn't have a solid cast. Terminator 2 for example wasnt packed with special effects to the extent that T3 had.
A very disapointing and boring movie to watch. It is also very corny and cliche at times

Advantages: Better special effects giving the film a more life-like feeling. Disadvantages: Some trademark phrases are lost and his character just doesnt have that wow factor.
...the kid from the second terminator who helps Arnie to save the world. Good acting on his part.
Arnie plays his original role as terminator and as in the second he is a good guy. I think he tries too hard in this one to be funny and does not pull it off. You would think that this time they would send something that is more powerful than the bad machine, in the first one they send a mere human against the terminator, in the second they send "the terminator" ... ...less powerful and the other terminator can now control other machines. This times the baddy is the "T-X played my Kristanna Loken and in my opinion she is a better actor than Arnie. the new chip integrated into the terminator and spoilt his mean attitude that made the previous terminators good viewing.
There are some good action scenes with better special effects. The best one as far as im concerned is when the T-X takes control of a number of emergency ...

Advantages: Latest installment into the Terminator series Disadvantages: Lets down the previous Terminators
...enjoyable or action packed as Terminator 2, or as unique and gripping as Terminator. Well alot of people have said that "sequals suck", well they mainly do indeed, this movie not being an exception. But as I have already said it is only a let down in compairision to the previous Terminator movies. Anyways enough about the past, now onto this movie.

This Terminator film gives you more information as into what has happened previously with the machines, how they come to power, and to what will happen in the near future. There is not much I can say without giving the overall film and plot away.

...fan of the first two Terminator films, however this one did not quite hit the spot for me. It is not a bad film, but in this day and age with every movie being able to pull of a lot fo special effects with the use of CGi, Terminator 3 needed more than just special effects to step up to the game. Unfortunately it just followed the same outline as the second with a slightly different ending. Now if this movie had been released instead of the second ... ...as Cameron was not directing. Terminator 3 will go down as just another action movie. Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as the Terminator once again, with Kristanna Loken starring as the the stunning but deadly T-X. John Conner now has Nick Stahl and Sarah Conner does not make any appearance at all in this movie. From the first Terminator to the second there was a big difference in the capability of the baddie, but in this one there does not seem to be ...
