Me and my pals went to see this when it came out and 7 or 8 of us sat there staring at each other in disbelief for the whole movie. Its awful! The essence of the two previous terminator movies was completely lost!! Its a spoof of a film! aghhhhhhh :(

What do you expect James Cameron wasn't involved. Anytime the original director and creater is replaced to do another sequel the movie is always a disappointment. I personally didn't hate it, but it wasn't nearly as good. The first one is still the best in my opinion. Judgement day was ok except eddie furlong was too fake as the role of john connor.

It was a pretty bad film, and the action sequences lasted too long. The director was awful, some of his shots made me want to throw something at the screen. Promptly afterward I went home, and watched an Alfred Hitchcock movie, Vertigo, to relieve myself of the pain of watching that movie.

Sweet... Vertigo is probably my all time favourite movie. The first time I watched it, I just sat in disbelief, staring at the TV screen. It totally blew me away. I can watch that movie over and over again.

I'm working on watching all the Alfred Hitchcock movies. So far, I think I've seen probably about 10 or so of them.

If you like Hitchcock, a movie in a similar vein is "The Spanish Prisoner". It has nothing to do with Spain, Spaniards, prisoners, or the definite article "the".

Ooh, and I almost forgot - it stars Steve Martin in a non-comedic role.

... and that's all I have to say about that.

I thought it was quite good. A lot of people say it was amazing but havnt seen the 1st and 2nd terminator films which are better in a way. I do find it a bit stupid how the bad terminator can control vehicals and can turn her hand into a gun. It does seem a bit OTT.
Isnt there another terminator film coming out ? I'm sure it said somewhere in a magazine. I'm guessing it will be just the war between the humans and machines which could be quite boring !
By virtue of their electrical properties, tubes generate a special waveform when they're saturated, which is why tube engineering has tremendous tonal advantages over solid state or DSP solutions, particularly for crunch and lead sounds. Tubes enter the saturation zone gradually or softly, which lends tube-driven tone its trademark yet totally unique character.

I prefer T2... although T1 is better.. if that makes sense. Although theres a major mistake in T2 because john connor is supposed to be 9 years old!! It says on the cop cars computer! Plus T2 is good for the Guns n Roses music!

I thought it was quite funny. Of course it´s actually crap and T1 and 2 were better. But it was the first time I saw one in English, and as Austrians my friends and I had a big laugh when he said,"Kathrin Bruister" with an steyrish accent(he comes from Steyr, Austria).

I didn't mind the T3, considering im not a die-hard fan my expectations were not that high. But with a 10 yr waiting period it could have been better

I agree, it was really poor. Especialy the way they kill him off (sorry for giving this away, but you really arn't missing much). T1 he gets crushed, T2 he kills himself :'( but how does he go in T3? He gets stuck in a door. A DOOR!!! Is that all its going to take to fend off an evil genius and his robot masses? A door? Jeez... Its the darleks all over again

It was about the same quality as those crap Dolph Lundgren and van Damme straight to vid jobs. Little tension. No surprises. Pretty cheesy

I enjoyed T3, but maybe that's cause I hadn't seen the first two in like 10 years, so I was happy to see Ahnold back in action. I wish I had a Terminator gaurding my ass.
