Terminator 3

Terminator 3 for me has got to be one of the best sequel's, ever!! almost beating Terminator 2!! The story, the humour and the action all classic things you would expect in a Terminator movie, with one exception to the Story. I actually think the story in T3 was well explained, easy to follow and better than T1 and T2.

I would rate the film as 10 out of 10.

If you're a Terminator fan, you'll love it, If you're not a terminator fan, I still think you will love it and if you're an Arnie fan, well this film show's him at his best, with all the cheesy cliche's!! :D

The good thing about T3, it makes you laugh, it leaves you amazed and it makes you think about the previous time lines in T1 and T2 and how perfectly they all fit in T3 and it makes sense!!

In my opinion, if this was the first time we saw the Terminator, T3 would be a Box Office Blockbuster, a hard film to follow. As a sequel, well as I have already mentioned, fantastic!!

The ending was brilliant and I really cant wait to see a Vietnam/Black Hawk Down type futuristic war with the Machines against the Humans!!.

Just to clear things up with people wondering how Arnie has been in all three and maybe another Two (rumoured to have been offered $100,000,00) is that yes he does come of a production line. This meaning we may see scene's like in attack of the clones but as Arnie the Machine, and oh yeh, the effects will more than likely kick ass over George lucas ILM team!!:D

Whether you like it or not, I hope people will enjoy it and respect as good part of a trilogy, enjoy the movie!! ;)

I'll be back:cool:
 
How much have they paid you? :D

I guess it depenRAB what you want from a movie, but I tend to think the quality of the direction matters. And as others have said, it did seem that there was something missing, that it wasn't quite a Terminator film, and that thing was James Cameron.

If you think about T2, and that whole chase of the T-1000 in the truck, John Connor on the moped, and Arnie on the bike - the whole sequence is thrilling and one of the more memorable bits of recent cinema, especially that one shot of Arnie's double jumping into the sewer on the bike (how many zillion times have we all seen that?). Now that showed Cameron's flair when it came to action sequences. In T3 though the director just reaches for the CGI, and tries to make it exciting by destroying more buildings than ever seen before. And it doesn't work.

Which is not to say that I thought T3 was a bad film, it was quite good, and in the hanRAB of a better director it could have been very good. And I tend to agree that the script was better than T2, especially the ending, although Nick "don't call me Dr Bashir" Sthal's acting left a bit to be desired.

I was a bit disapointed not to see more Terminator in-jokes as well. We had "she'll be back", but Arnie didn't deliver that line in the classic Terminator way IIRC. What I really hoped is that when he first rescues Kate (was it Kate?) he would say "Come with me if you want to live" (Kyle's first line to Sarah Connor in T1) :D

Not as much as Arnie!! :D

I can lean towarRAB agreeing with you, that the magic spark of cameron would have given it the Blockbuster of all times!! However, I was looking for a film with high speed, action, terminator cliche's, adrenaline pumping chaos and I got it from this film.

One scene I will remember if not all, is the scene where the police cars and the pet van van were seemingly dancing in car crushing high speed fish tailing!! Now that was fantastic, but just too short!!. In my opinion they could have got a lot more out of this scene and if they had I'm sure it would have been just as memorable as the Arnie bike scene in T2.

All the Terminator films have thier good and bad points, it really is down to what you want from a sequel. I wouldn't be surprised upon the success of T3, and come on everybody despite what has been said, it has, that cameron may be tempted to the chaotic, pulse pumping, adrenaline shooting madness of the War against the Machines!!

And finally, yes, I did miss the 'I'll be back'!!

Asta la vista, baby :cool: (I apologise now for any spelling mistakes ;))
 
I don't think they cut the language. The F*ck word was used three times, and if I remember rightly Oceans Eleven had two or three F-worRAB in it.

As for the violence, I reckon the distubutors may have put forward a different cut of the film to the BBFC, after seeing one graphic scene halfway through it. I would be surprised to see it in a 12A.

And it wouldn't be a first for Warner Bros. to submit different versions of a film to the BBFC. Lethal Weapon 4 is a perfect example. The US version i've seen is more graphic in the way of violence than the UK release, yet the BBFC claim it was released uncut.

BTW, I thought T3 was great! The story was better than I expected, and the ending was brilliant! :D
 
According to the BBFC, " 2 Fast 2 Furious" the following was cut:

Distributor chose to reduce the violence of the heroes in one scene by removing 3 kicks, a stamp and a spit, all delivered to a prone man, in order to achieve a 12A. An uncut 15 was available to the distributor.

Charlie's Angels: FULL THROTTLE is also CUT. As was a kid's movie, "AGENT CODY BANKS"!!

I COULD GO ON AND ON

Face it the BBFC created the 12A rating to set THEIR OWN STANDARRAB; so the distributors had no choice to CUT; to make movies as commericaly viable as it's domestic audience in the US.

The US MPAA's PG13 is still more relaxed then the BBFC 12A rating.
 
I enjoyed it (yet i alwasy seem to enjoy any old crap - so my views may not be representative :D)

The only 'problem' i have with the film, and its hard to put my figner on it, it just doesn't feel 'epic', like T2 did. Maybe its the director, or maybe its just the ending and thus appearing to be an extended prologue for T4 (which i'd guess will porlly happen).
 
Aye, I thought this too, I wont tell the scene but I was quite shocked when I saw it.

Infact the whole movie was quite strong for a 12 and I doubt it would go down too well with the mothers.

Great movie BTW.
 
ROFL :D :D :D I knew I'd seen that face before :D

The film is one of those curios - My brother thought it was bottom of the barrel (mind you - he likes Jean Claude Van Damme movies :eek: ) I thought it was average / not too shabby for a 3rd time out, whilst my sister thought it was...



....but then again, she liked Charlies Angels 2: Full Throttle :rolleyes:
 
T3 Rocks. You must see it on the big screen. And the ending is great.

I watched a doco on TV. That crane truck stunt took 8 months of planning !
