Following a twelve year hiatus, Arnie reprised his most famous role once more for Terminator 3, which has a plot thats very similar to the second film. Once again, the rogue, self-aware computer... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages special effects, Arnie back to form

    Disadvantages Disadvantages lack of James Cameron, never going to be as good as the first two

    “The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. I wish I could believe that. My name is John Connor, they tried to murder me before I was born, when I was 13 they tried again. Machines from the future. Terminators. All my life my mother told me the storm was coming, Judgment Day, the beginning of the war between man and machines. Three billion lives vanished in an instant, and I would lead what was left of the human race to ultimate victory. It hasn't happened, no bombs fell, computers didn't take control, we stopped Judgment Day. I should feel safe, but I ... more

    5 Stars Terminator, you are now terminated! 29/12/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages great film with great effects,action packed from the start

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not everyone will like it

    Winter was coming, the nights were colder, and so going out was definitely out of the question! So what better way to spend an evening than snuggled up nice and warm in front of the fire/one heater in a first floor flat, watching a nice action packed DVD? Well we couldn’t think of a better way and so off we trotted to the local DVD/video rental shop to see what they had in. Now in November they kind of went through a dry month with not many new films coming in but this month there were meant to be at least 5 new films out. There was actually a great choice of movies available when we got there ... more

    4 Stars Terminator 4 maybe hitting our screens soon! Review with images 07/11/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages the new TX

    Disadvantages Disadvantages plot could have been much better

    So much hype is all over the internet lately about yet another Terminator movie being released for 2006/2007, and me being a big movie maniac I have decided to write a review on the last Terminator movie, T3 Rise Of The Machines, and share some of the rumours which are circling about the fourth instalment to the popular franchise. As this is meant to be a review of this movie.......... and I fear that all that I have to write about the fourth one may not actually quite fit here, I will begin writing about this one, which of course being TERMINATOR 3 - RISE OF THE MACHINES (T3) T3- This of ... more

    5 Stars Harder Than The Rest. 26/07/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Ah-Nuld!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not many at all.

    *NO SPOILERS, GUARANTEED* Go ahead, you can make fun of me all you want but I like Arnie, he's cool. Even though he hasn't made a really, really good film since... well, probably since the last Terminator film 12 years ago I still have a lingering respect for the ageing Austrian warhorse. So when news of a new Terminator film was leaked out - I mean confirmed this time, for real, they were actually going to make it - I was filled with equal parts excitement and trepidation. I mean, what if it's no good? What if it's no better than say, Collateral Damage or The Sixth Day or, Heaven forbid ... more

    4 Stars Look At My Big Gun 04/05/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Entertaining, Good Ending, Great Effects

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Will never come close to T2

    Every summer you can expect a glut of sequels to hit the cinemas. This is because Hollywood struggles to come up with new ideas; the tried and tested ones tend to be the safe bet. Give the audience something familiar and you'll make a decent amount of money, it's not really a big risk. However Terminator 3 was probably seen as this. Arnie certainly wasn't as big as he used to be and his last big hit was probably True Lies back in the mid nineties. So would there be an audience for a third Terminator film and was it worth throwing $150 million at? Well surprising T3 turned out not to be the ... more
