Terminator 3 is one of Arnold's best films to date. It's exhiterating from beginning to end. Truely remarkable!

I went expecting a blow'em up, beat the crap outa'em shoot'em up movie. it delivers like a pizza boy in a porno.

A "9" because it *actually* delivered what it promised: Great special effects, good script (for a summer flick,) and it wasn't completely predictable like most sequels are. How often can you say that these days? Go see it.

This movie was absolutely terrible. I was so disappointed after being a huge fan of the series to see what they have done to the last movie. Went into the movie not expecting to see another T2 but hoping that it would be exciting and entertaining. Well my friends, it seemed like they ran out of original ideas so lets play off of T2 and rehash things. The comedy in this movie is terrible. The other actors are uninspiring and add little to the movie. The new female terminator is nothing more then eyecandy and it was a huge stretch to even be mildly intimidated by her. Can't say enough about how disappointed i was and wouldn't even recommend it as a rental. Sorry guys.… Expand

We live in a day and age where you can do anything on screen with the right amount of cash. Anything. Needless to say, this movie has great action scenes, but unfortunately that can't make up for the rest of the movie. The dialogue was piss-poor, the acting was mediocre at best, and the storyline definitely took a turn for the worse. Plus Nick Stahl makes "the great John Connor" look like the biggest pussy on the planet. They are really digging this franchise right into the ground (by the way, don't buy Terminator: Dawn of Fate either). … Expand

AWESOME movie. One of the few I actually wasn't disappointed by this year. Totally blows away 'The Matrix Reloaded' as the action-flick/sequel of the summer. It's really funny too, something you don't see much in action movies. And the car chase scene is amazing. If you haven't seen it yet, go now! You're missing one of the best movies of the year so far.

Great movie, only problem that I had was that it was almost like watching T2, because they took alot of scene's from T2 and put them in other backgrounds and stuff. Also the ending kinda left ya with a "What the hell?" kind of feeling. Other than that, great movie.

This movie is excellent...probably not better then the first two. But there is more of a story then the first two...it has great action and Arnold looks AWESOME as always, better then 99% of people in their prime. Also, not saying I hate you for being a democrat or liberal, but for anyone that reads this...dis-regard all the bad negative feedback left AFTER Arnold decided to run for Governor...they are obviously against him, so they come here and give the movie a bad rating...pathetic. This movie is awesome!… Expand

I couldn't believe how dissapointing this film was - I really think that it was the biggest let down of all time in regards to movie sequels / trilogy. How could they get it so wrong?

It wasn't really "0" bad, more like a four or five, but I really feel that this movie shouldn't have been made, so yeah.

Nick B. was right, it is not as good as the other Terminator movies. But it still had lots of action and special effects. Arnie is getting a bit long in the tooth to be a non-aging robot. He is better suited to being a governor of some U.S. State.

This is the best movie I have ever seen. It has everything you could ever want in a movie: Action, Comedy, and the hotest chick in the world(Kristanna Loken).

Terminator 3 is just one of those sequels that just don't need 2 b made. At the end of T2 they had stopped Judgement Day from occurring, but in this, it's said that Judgement Day is inevitable. The Terminatrix was a horrible successor to Arnold from T1 and Robert Patrick as the T1000 in T2. John Connor was very annoying in this film. It really annoyed me that Sara Connor wasn't in this film. The pacing is abysmal, the acting is bad at best. The plot was beyond retarded. By far, the worst Terminator film 2 date.… Expand

The movie isn't as awesome as the second one, but ignoring the flaws, it's a pretty good movie overall. Arnold Schwarzennegar does a perfect job just like the previous two. Hoping they get him back for T5...

its my least favorite in the series, but it has the charm of Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator.

Even though i think the first two Terminator films are outstanding,i wasnt expecting much from this one when i went into the cinema,& i got what i expected.This is not a good Terminator movie,or movie in general.It took a while to put my finger on it,but i realised that it didnt have the gritty feel & look of the first two movies,being way to bright & colourful.It just didnt feel right.. The music just seemed a little random & not stiring at all,The actor that played John Connor was ok,but he reminded me constantly of Dr Bashir in Deep Space 9(for tht longest time,i thought it was the same actor)!,& Claire wasnt particulally likeable or interesting.Another BIG critisism to this film,is casting a woman as the other Terminator.I'm sorry if this sounds sexist,but no matter how much she kept a straight face,i just couldnt take her seriously as a threatening Terminator.. Making her Boobs grow,to get positive treatment from a police officer didnt exactly help this either.. Even though the story explains how the war with the machines started,most of the film seemed pointless & unessasary.There was also too much humour,& silly bits,for example when the TX gets hit in her head,her head spins round,the afforementioned growing boobs,& the stripper he gets his clothes & 'Star shaped Sunglasses'? from. this movie seemed kind of a joke to me,& that the joke was on me.. Thank goodness Salvation was much better & more serious,though i'm not sure if Arnold Coming back for No 5 is a good thing or not,after No 3.Time will tell..… Expand

So a very outdated model is going to win against a brand spanking new one that can control machines and has plasma casters in her arms. Ya, that will happen. All credit to Arnold, who is a kick ass actor, but I don't think that a (apparently) nuclear powered robot is going to beat the new girl in town.

Much better, in my opinion, than JUDGMENT DAY, but RISE OF THE MACHINES is the third entry in the series and has still yet to reach or top THE TERMINATOR.

While its certainly an entertaining film, the action sequences are fun to watch, and some of the one-liners are pretty funny, its essentially a dumb action film. The Terminator, who's most fascinating quality in T2 was his quest to understand Humanity, is instead reduced to a dumb joke machine. The character development is thin on the whole, and the T-X is far too over the top for my liking. The T-1000 was a much more threatening villain. If you want a damn good film, watch Terminator 2. If you want a decent summer action flick for passive enjoyment, watch this.… Expand

Offers great action, but is overrated and lacks enough character development between John Connor and Kate Brewster. But it's fun watching the Terminator (Schwarzenegger) battling the Terminatrix until Judgment Day starts so John Connor becomes ready to enter his prophecy as the leader of the Resistance in the future war.

A unneeded sequel that does nothing but butcher a once great series. Terrible acting and poor action/special effects makes this a disapointing end to the original trilogy.

Unfortunately this was the worst of the series. The selection for the John Connor character was terrible, the invincibility of the Terminators has gotten more and more extreme each time, and while the effects have become markedly improved over the years, the CGI looked overdone. I mean, it was still an entertaining movie but it just wasn't as good as the first two. Hopefully Christian Bale makes Salvation BA because this definitely was not.… Expand

A decent yet terribly acted picture. It doesn't have the storyline or characters as the second installment but has much better single piece action sequences than many other films.

I'd like to pretend this movie never happened.....i mean, it makes sense :p T3 pretty much contradicts everything the first two terminators did, and made the events of T2 for nothing! Skynet was blocked from ever existing, therefore could NOT send another terminator (a third one...really?! wtf) to kill john connor. Terminator Salvation is the prequel to T1, as in T1 they had already WON the war! I believe the chronological order of the series is TSalvation, T1, and then they rid the world of skynet forever in T2. T3 is a movie that never should have seen the light of day.… Expand

Compared to the other ones, this one is by far the best. still not a fan of it, but some scenes pretty funny to watch and some action sequences were pretty impressive.

I enjoyed watching the film, T2 being one of my favorite films to this day, however T3 did just feel like a repeat of T2 with a woman playing the villain instead of a man, and the story wasn't as memorable.
