To any solid James Cameron fan: T3 is nowhere, I repeat nowhere, near as good as T2.
With that said....does this justify labeling it a bad movie? Hell no. The action was great, the acting was poor, and it got me excited; just like any other action movie out these days!
T3 was definitly just T2's story and direction methods all re-done, as if the director just felt it was up to him to re-do the movie instead of adding more smart, intelligent storyline.
I dunno, I could go on for a long time about it. I just have to say that T3 is nothing like T2 or T1 in that it is now using different, more modern ways of exciting a crowd that is growing stupider and stupider (one solid proof of this lies in that many of you have accepted this as a true addition to the Terminator series.....
) And come on, I hope all of you picked up on the cheesy advertisments.... I counted at least three: Budwieser, Victorias Secret, and some new perscription drug on the huge billboard. Yeah yeah, maybe they needed the support for the movie, yet I know Cameron would have never stooped so low, even if it meant cutting the budget some. Yeah I loved the movie, I just wish it wasn't called Terminator...
