In 1991, the buzz around T2 was incredible and yet it still lived up to every expectation. I went with my college roommate to see it and we were absolutely blown away by it.
However, James Cameron had nothing to do with T3 and that leads me to believe this one will break the streak. I say it will suck. Poll coming. |
|
I say. It will ROCK. According to Arnold, even with different director, they try to keep what WORKED like the first two. |
|
Quoted: We are talking about Arnold...of course it will ROCK! View Quote Of course he did say in an interview, at his age now, his muscles aren't in the same spots they used to be. I still say it will ROCK. |
|
It's going to suck.
The third part of a trilogy always does. Star Wars Godfather etc.... |
|
I am gonna go against the trend. I loved T1, but thought T2 was just okay. I think T3 will be better than T2 but not as good as T1.

I think it will be mediocore. Maybe worth the 5 bucks for a matinee.

Hope it rocks...if it sucks, it'd better be due to some xxx with that hot-bot biatch cyborg.
[naughty] Sex and Violence guys!!! Can't go wrong! |

First off, its a movie.
That said, it has Arnold and lots of shooting in it. Whats not to like??? Oh yeah, End of Days ROCKED. |
|
Quoted: if linda hamilton is in it, whew, yup i will go see it View Quote Well, she's not. The ONLY actor making a repeat appearance is Arnold. Plus, I can't stand to see Claire Danes cry (she looks hideous when she does), and I'm sure she'll cry at least once in the movie. My vote: SUCKAGE. |

you all seem to be forgeting that T3 was written by james cameron, its just has a different director.

The story wasn't written by him, the screenplay wasn't written by him. He created the characters, nothing more. |

Famke Jansen was tagged for the bad terminator, but she had to pull out because of a family crisis.
That was too bad, because I see the blonde in the T3 ads, and I think of Jansen, and I think Jansen would have been a much better bad guy/girl/babe. I don't think it will "suck", but it will not be as good as the first. The second wasn't even as good as the first. Jay |

The first Terminator was one of the top 5 sci-fi action flix of all time. DAMN [b]GREAT[/b] flick. T2 was MAJOR suckage! [stick] Arnold cannot and SHOULD not ever play a good guy after T1. The plot was dumb - basically a [u]kid's movie[/u] (as opposed to a [u]guy's movie[/u] like T1) with a lot of car crashes and a very PC Arnold being careful not to kill anyone or hurt their feelings. [puke] The baddie (Robert Patrick) was unconvincing as a ruthless baddass compared to Arnie in T1. The ONLY redeeming feature was the computer animation of the liquid metalman. TOTAL disappointment after T1. Essentially T2 was about a kid who got a new pet/guardian angel/robot to play with for a while and then cried at the end when "Lassie" had to be put down. Well BOO-FUCKIN-HOO! This ain't Ol' Yeller! This is the TERMINATOR!!! There ain't no fucking CRYING in a Terminator movie - unless of course you're a ditzy bimbo about to be blown in half by a 12 gauge-toting badass cybernetic organism. [;D] The ending of T1 held so much promise for a hellova sequel. But then it had to go and get all PC-ed up and whimped down. [V] Based on what I've seen about T3 - One: No Linda Hamilton. Two: Arnie ain't the main baddie - he's a guardian angel again with a few computer glitches making him somewhat schizophrenic. Three: The main baddie's a Sheila. PREDICTION: T3 will HOPE to suck only as bad as T2 did. |

I have such a bad feeling that it is gonna suck! wHorrywood seems to enjoy butchering films that have alot of potential. I hope I am wrong but suck factor 10 on this one I think.

You guys sound like frickin Ebert. The fact is that movies are just movies, nothing more, noone cares what you think, movies are judged differently by people. If you try to push your opinion of a movie off on someone, you're wasting your time, and you're wasting precious oxygen.

I was hoping they'd round out the whole story and show us the future war against the machines. Watching John Conner and Kyle Reese fight Skynet with Arnold and maybe Robert Patrick doing cameos at the end when their sent back would've made for a better story to me. For that matter Arnold could've been featured all through it but then Hollyweird would've been required to think and not rehash like their used to.

the more publicity and hype arnold does for a movie, the more its gonna suck.
my vote -- it will suck |

There are a few clips at [url]http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&id=1807428619&cf=trailer[/url]. It looks surprisingly good.

Quoted: It's going to suck. The third part of a trilogy always does. Star Wars Godfather etc.... View Quote For the most part yes. But.. Army of Darkness was technically the third in the series. I thought Rocky 3 was good. I found the third Indiana Jones far better than the second one and I will go out on a limb that the third LOTR will kick all over the first two. |

View Quote I tottaly Agree When i saw they were making a t3. I was like awsome future war about time! Then i saw the trailor *groan* same crap agien. also If I remember Corretly wasnt skynet supposed to have already Nuked everyone by now? Wasnt Judment day in 1997? Quick check on the dvd yeah it was "3 billion human lives ended on August 29th, 1997. The survivors of the nuclear fire called the war Judgment Day." Im wondering how there going explain that one. |

As with most Sci-fi series that span 20+- years, special effects tend to improve 10 fold over the run of the series. This is a good thing, unless they use the special effects as the plot, instead of using them to support the plot.
I will go and see it before I pass judgement. I will probably enjoy it just because it is the Terminator again. But my life will not end if it's less than stellar. And I wil have to add it to the DVD collection of the first two. So, their going to make the money, whether I like it or not. BBossman out |

I am going to see it this coming Sat.
So far, I can say I am glad I havent based my movie viewing on you guy's thoughts about them, cause I would have sure missed out on some that I love. [;)] |

View Quote When I heard that they were making T3 way back when, my theory was that there were other parts from the 1st Terminator, that was sent to another company besides Cyberdyne. That way, in the good fashion of govt CYA, there were 2 diff companies working on the stuff, so that if something happened to the stuff at one, another would still be able to carry on research. They only new about Cyberdyne's work, because they were the ones who created Skynet originally. When everything in T2 was destroyed, the 2nd unknown company simply carried on with its work. |

The action scenes with Arnold should be good. The rest of the movie will probably be awful.
A Terminatrix? [puke] Nick Stahl seems to be playing John Conner as a complete wimp.[V] The Clair Danes character looks like more feminist crap. [puke] I kept hoping to see Sarah Conner get killed off in T2, and John left to be raised by the "Uncle Bob" Terminator.[;)] A better plot would be to have Arnold playing multiple T101s chasing after John and Uncle Bob, or bring back Robert Patrick as one or more T1000s. I would really have preferred to see the future war where they take down Skynet... The book is available from [url=]www.barnesandnoble.com[/url] at a 30% discount. |

I think it's safe to say that the potential for this movie was stratospheric. Especially if James Cameron was behind it.
Now? We'll find out this week. |

I went to an early screening on Monday and T3 rocked, including the Terminator lady. :)
All I will say is HE will be back. |

I love it. Like many other things, a lot of people are judging whether it will be any good or not without having seen it. Unless you have seen it, you don't know if it rocks or sucks, period.
