Just got back from it....I loved the movie... best special effects that ive seen so far this summer... and some parts were tastefully humurous.

I think overall its so far the best movie of the summer.

I just wish there was more to the movie after the end.... they could have added some more scenes...like a gathering of the leutenants... or the after affects of the nuclear war.

P.S The girl is Kristanna Loken....swedish model......extremely gorgeous.

This review alone is enough to keep me out of the theatre...

The 4th of July opening films have traditionally been shit for the past few years (Independence Day, Armageddon anyone?) and this sounds like another one of the POS films disguised as a franchise that was beloved for it's intelligent story in addition to it's style.

I said it before and I'll say it again, it's a mistake to make another, rare is the sequel that outclasses it's original. T2 managed to do that, this new movie, especially if it *is* nothing more than an action film, is selling out what made the franchise good to begin with.

You're right, but regardless to me it's still The Terminator so i'll watch it

I guess he didn't want to do it cuz he knew he wouldn't be able to top T2.

Well...
I sae the movie yesterday, and I have to see it was worth the 5 bucks I spent on it. While the script was not PHENOMENAL it was rather good, and there really was a surprise ending in the end. Plus, the special efects were pretty damn cool.

Movie Reviews: 'Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines'

from http://us.imdb.com/StudioBrief/:

"For all the hype and the inevitable (and most likely short-term) box office bonanza," A.O. Scott writes in his review in the New York Times, "Terminator 3 is essentially a B movie, content to be loud, dumb and obvious, and to leave the Great Ideas to bona fide public intellectuals like Keanu Reeves and the Hulk." That conclusion is shared by many other film critics. Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times puts it this way: "Among recent sci-fi pictures, Hulk is in the tradition of science fiction that concerns ideas and personalities, and Terminator 3 is dumbed down for the multiplex hordes." And Glenn Whipp in the Los Angeles Daily News comes up with a similar observation, calling the new Terminator "the best $175 million B-movie in history, a distinction that rings as hollow as you might expect." But will Terminator prove to be a bigger draw at the box office than The Hulk? Several critics doubt it. Lou Lumenick in the New York Post calls the movie "the most instantly forgettable so far of this summer's $200 million (or so) disposable blockbusters." And Rick Groen in the Toronto Globe and Mail suggests that it's not "terminally awful -- just banal, merely humdrum, more conventional horror flick than science-fiction myth, and a whole lot less than what came before."

It wasn't bad, but I was expecting a lot more !!!

I just came from seeing T3, It was better then I expected, The scenes involving the crane was crazy and it sets up for a possible sequel.

I haven't seen a single terminator movie, and don't plan on seeing this one either. Looks too cheesy. If I do watch a T movie, I'm watching the first two.
