Terminator 3

anyone seen this yet? I've been looking at some reviews and
i'm surprised but glad the reviews are mostly positive. I
really wasn't looking forward to this film ever since I
heard Cameron wasn't going to direct but i'm now thinking T3
is actually going to be surprisingly good. I loved the other
2 films and it looks like this could be a worthy sequal.

nice to read this kind of thing in a review, too often
effects and action can ruin a film, just look at Martix
Reloaded:

"However, unlike some other high-tech flicks, the effects
don't completely overpower the plot or take the audience
totally out of the story"

I think its released to today in America, if anyone sees it
soon post your thoughts.

i write reviews on my site, most of them pretty informative
and insightful.

but for T3, i wrote one sentence.

"It didn't suck."

6.6 / 10

uhhhh

special effects didnt kill matrix reloaded.

yer just too st00pid to comprehend it i guess

:/

i dont know any other movie that sparked so much
'philosophy' talk from such simple minded people, and people
who normally wouldnt give a damn.

Few movies can do that :)

well.... i read a review that ripped it a new one... :-\

and it kind of hinted at the ending, which really pissed me
off... but hopefully it isnt how i interperted it... and it
will still be a suprised

" the film reimagines the Adam and Eve myth but with a
post-industrial edge and a distinctly feminist slant."

huh? from rotten tomatoes.com...

i really liked it

i went in with low expectations, and came out pleasantly
suprised

just go in open minded

is it really true they are making a t4?

Yeah, it's true, they making a conclusion.

I saw it with low expectations and it wasen't that suprised.


REVIEW

*****possible spoilers******

Compared to the second one, cmon this was a joke. If the
second one wasen't so amazing then this might have looked
better. First of all it wasen't serious enough nor "dark"
enough. ( "talk to the hand"? cmon). Second of all the TX
was lame ( even though that girl was so fuckin' hot). Lame
in the sense that she could do EVERYTHING. A robot that can
turn into liquid/other people, shoot missles and have a
flamethrower all in one, cmon, give old arny a break. Alot
of the movie wasen't practical nor realistic ( i know it's a
movie, and I know it's a scifi movie about robots but alot
of it didnt make any sense) For example the very begining
when arnold just happens to know that the TX is at the
animal hospital....Ok im tired so I don't feel like writing
anymore.

5/10

Night.

in defense... i think you could rip apart any of the first 2
movies... flaws are bound to be there... and these arnt
shakespear movies...

any flaws this movie has, doesnt daunt me, because its just
a kickass action movie, with a future that is possible, and
thus, engaging

Matrix Reloaded was OODLES better than this.

This was better than I expected, but I was expecting the
biggest heap of crap a movie could ever be. It had a good
chase scene, and I decent ending. Next to T2 though, it was
like dust in a carpet.

t2.... loved it at the time but i always had one problem
with it>

when our austrian automoton is at the company not killing
all those cops and swat guys..... the sound is all fucked
up... kind of subdued or something. There is a weird
emptyness about that whole scene as if it was filmed in the
middle of nowhere.. and you could tell. anyone?
