A disappointing cash in that doesn't feel like a proper continuation due to the different cast.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Claire Danes, David Andrews

May 26, 2009Twelve years after the destruction of Cyberdine and the end of Judgment Day John Connor is attacked yet again in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, a lackluster sequel to the two great films by James Cameron. In this third installment John Connor (Nick Stahl) is living of the gr...( read more)

May 22, 2009Terminator: I'm back.
Another installment in the time traveling cyborg series. Of course it can't be as good as the first 2, and I didn't expect it to be, but that doesn't stop this from having kick ass, no-holds bar action sequences and fun with Arnold's signature character.

Demasiada accion en muy poco tiempo... la siento acelerada. -
October 31, 2009The action scenes are good and this movie is an above par action film but the biggest problem for this movie is that it has to live up to the greatest movie ever made, Terminator 2, and when you do that it pales in comparison. Still a good movie but I just see it as a story filler.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines may lack the mythic pow of the 1984 original and the visionary thrill of T2, but it's a potent popcorn movie that digs in its hooks and doesn't let go until an endin... full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
There's a flat feeling about this effort that's unmistakable and inescapable. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
T3 director Jonathan Mostow delivers a high-energy barrage of special effects gee-wizardry that self-effacingly mimics Cameron's style. full review
July 1, 2003
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Essentially one long chase and fight, punctuated by comic, campy or simplistic dialogue. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Holds our interest but lacks the punch of its predecessors. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Terminator 3 moves at not-quite-breakneck speed, and the shape-shifting, metal-melting special effects aren't exactly spectacular. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Terminator 3 is essentially a B movie, content to be loud, dumb and obvious. full review

August 22, 2008this is the worst film in the trilogy i mean who would ever want to make trhis piece of shit film

January 28, 2008Somebody should kill Jonathan Mostow for directing this hunk of shite. And Mario Kassar for producing it. Thanks for effectively destroying one of the most perfect film franchises in cinema history with one incredibly stupid blow. One salivates at the very thought of Cameron having done T3, but alas, it shall never be. For that, there is not enough torment to be found in all of Hell to satisfy my lust for vengeance against these "filmmakers."
Oh, well. At least the CG was decent. Sometimes. -
December 12, 2007cgi was ok but without cameron its dissapointing. what we needed here was a 3-way showdown between arnie guarding john connor and vin diesel and the rock.

December 6, 2007This film itself has tons and tons of action packed scenes..and that's about it. As for the storyline itself it looses it's luster in this 3rd installment of "Terminator". I really feel that they should have stopped with the last film. But like always they want to try to make things bigger and better with sequel's which in the end turns you off all together, but you keep watching the other films because you are entranced to find out what happens to the characters. When making this 3rd film they should have had the original characters such as Sarah Connor. For the time it was made the special effects were outstanding. For the new characters in this story it just falls way short and dull of the other films. I would only recommend seeing this for the action and special effects.

July 26, 2007This episode wasn't I expected from it's trailer....I want some answers to my question
1.Why is Skynet is still there even if his creator has been terminated and all evidence was vaporized?
2.Why is Terminators are still alive?
3.How the hell did t-800 knows other terminator's story?
4.Motherfuckers...I saw Sarah Connor and John are playing in the park in 2029.Sarah became grandma,John became a senator and have one girl..(In the end of the original T-2
now they changed it)
Errors to storyline had came with this episode. -
August 1, 2006Ive always loved the Terminator films (rumore has it that theres a fourth and fifth one in the making, after big Arnie gets away from politics. T3 is about as basic as it gets without being shit. Story is simple, two cyborgs travel back in time, one to protect the leader of the future human resistance against evil machines, the other to try and kill him. Survive long enough to stop judgment day and save the world. And during this simple story, it was explosion after fight scene after gun battle and so on. Really, really fun to watch.
