Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

age2.1 This might actually have worked, if only some very bad CGI decisions were not made and most of all, now, a 15 years later, it is clear that the soundtrack is absolutely horrible. The score messes up everything. Not only does it not match the size of the picture (scenic size, music is too static and too close, making the image look small) but also it is wishful, meaning that the score is trying to add emotional aspects that are improper and unfitting to what is actually displayed. Someone might have been really really excited to do this score and might have had an overenthusiastic producer, but the central idea of the movie was not understood. If the score had been more traditional and not overexcited, the whole title could have been a decent 7.8 (Also there's been some unfortunate casting, but... We cannot change it. I just try to do some therapeutic analysis here.)

RoboRabbit89 Arnold Schwarzenegger is back as The Terminator in "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines."When I was 13 back in 2003, I first saw this and was quite blown away by it. I had to a least see it twice, but a couple of years later I started to sour from it. Even my mom said it wasn't as good as the first two films, and I had to respectfully agree it's not.However, recently a couple of yeas ago I have found myself starting to like this film again.This may contain some spoilers.The year is 2003. The newest nemesis from the future arrives in the form of a woman this time, The TX.She is here to eliminate John Connor's Lieutenants to ensure the machines victory.Later the Terminator arrives and teams up with a now adult John, he informs him about the TX and how he is not sure if he can defeat her, along the way they find a young woman that is a veterinarian and that her fate is linked to john's.With time running out, they quickly learn the young woman's military father is unknowingly about to activate Sky-net it's self. Which actives the rise of the machines.A weak entry in the franchise but usually third parts are, let me into the positives here.First I would like to say Arnold Schwarzenegger was great in his return to his famous roll. Even though this version of the character is a little less friendly form his T2 counterpart. Arnold was still cool as always.The action scenes were very good here, lots of expositions and gun battles. The vehicle stunt work is amazing and quite impressive with very little CG. Even the CG work is still good even by today's standers.Now for some of the negatives, now this dose not apply to everything else in the movie, just some things.Kristana Loken is OK as the TX character, however I mostly blame the writers for this. They just made her a sexy character that's all brawn and no brains. Not that I don't like her being sexy because I do, It would have worked out better if she was more scary and intimidating.Nick Stahl is OK as John Connor, but I feel ether he wasn't written well enough or if it was the actor I can't tell.Claire Danes is pretty good as Kate Brewster, but she wasn't given enough to work with.It has it's flaws but, I still think I does the job, it's still entertaining. I know some people sort of hate it like I did for a time, but It's a cupcake. It's a nice frothy cupcake and if you look at it as that it can be a wonderful piece of froth.I give it a 5.3/10 it's not bad more of a so-so action thriller, but it can be a real good time in the right mind set. If your a fan of the franchise give it a look.

stormhawk2018 I'm not going to talk about the casting mistakes (where are you, Edward Furlong and Linda Hamilton?) Or that Terminatrix that looks like something from "Species" (that horror of the name of Terminatrix, by the way ... Porn movies). No. Nor will I talk about how the heck Skynet is created without Cyberdine or Dyson. And I'll spare the character of Claire Danes.What I am going to talk about is the lack of spiritual coherence with the rest of the saga.In "T-2" was mentioned the phrase "there is no destiny, only the one that we do". The definition of free will, come on. But what does John Connor discover in "T-3"? That the Final Judge was inevitable. Like Neo of the saga "Matrix", Connor becomes a pawn that never had opportunity to change history.And that makes "T-3" a Greek movie ("Gods handle our lives and mortals are mere puppets") as opposed to the biblical / Christian approach to "the world is like you do" of the previous ones.And I give a five to the movie because Arnie, his character and his lapidary phrases are still the same.

Idiot-Deluxe ... if logic or integrity meant anything that is. When it comes to The Terminator franchise, it's like this: No James Cameron = No Good..... and one of them doesn't even have Arnold!Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, the third chapter in the Terminator saga (which should have NEVER been made in the first place) hit the theaters in the summer of 2003, a whole twelve years after Terminator 2: Judgement Day (the best Terminator movie) and not surprisingly it proved to be a profoundly disappointing sequel. But why? First of all the whole premise of the movie seems forced and illogical, if you're at all familiar with the ending of the second film, the very existence of a third Terminator film is absolutely nonsensical. But at the time (the 2000's) most of Arnie's movies were bombing, so in a forced and desperate effort to reverse his sagging box-office appeal, he decided to play his last remaining ace card: The Terminator franchise. And why not, it had always reaped glowing results in the past, however, James Cameron wisely and with clear-headed logic wanted nothing to do with a third Termintor movie. Evidently the director of the first two films hadn't forgotten how the second film ended, but it's star obviously had. And I must say for a physically demanding role like The Terminator time is not an ally; yet Arnold took twelve years off between T2 and T3 and another 12 years between T3 and Genisys..... rust is forming on the Terminator.Let's briefly recap the events of the end of Terminator 2, in the films finale through the actions of John and Sarah Conner, Miles Bennett Dyson and a certain re-programmed T-101, every existing scrap of technology that the franchise is based upon (i.e. Terminators of various models and Skynet) was utterly destroyed when the Cyberdine Building was blown up in a massive explosion; and thus effectively erasing the cause of Judgement Day from existence thereby preventing - The War Against The Machines. Which also at the same time should have logically ruled out any possibility of another sequel. BUT, according to this movies logic, none of that happened... and the best reasoning they could come up with was "You only postponed it, Judgement Day is inevitable" and then Arnie proceeds to back up his illogical reasoning with some additional drivel about more Terminators being sent back in time, that are programmed to seek out and terminate certain people who would eventually go on to become military officers in the future, during The War Against The Machines..... but we... in the second one.... oh never the hell mind!To be fair about it and seeing as how this is a Terminator movie there are a few great action scenes, but the films poor casting (in the roles of John Conner and Katherine Brewster) and it's aforementioned ludicrous plot doom it from the get go; and as a result T3 is nothing more than huge, disappointing, illogical mess of a movie - which should never had been made. Another of T3's failing's is the films pathetically lame attempts at humour of which almost all fall flat. On the other hand one of the few bright spots about T3 would have to be Kristanna Loken, she is simply terrific in her role as the "T-X" (the bad Terminator), I find her overall design to be absolutely stellar. You'd certainly never suspect such a lovely looking lady would be so fiendishly deadly. And there's another thing about our deadly little Terminatrix, does any else think that Kristanna Loken bares a striking resemblance to 90's porn queen Jenna Jameson? In the end Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines is a poorly conceptualized sequel and it represents the first (of several) blemish's to a once great franchise. At the heart of the matter, I can easily conclude that T3 and it's other more recent sequels are the products of illogical thought, that is powered by nothing other then greed - and perhaps a faulty long-term memory. Why else would they keep making these utterly disgraceful sequels.It takes Arnold AND James Cameron BOTH for this to work, the Terminator series ended with the second film, 26 years ago - anything and everything to do with The Terminator beyond that point is nothing but cyber-trash.Stick to the first two films, they're more memorable and "more better".
