Discos - still can't beat T2
T1 is a classic sci-fi film
T2 followed basically the same lines as the first but with brilliant effects and scenes making it a worthy and entertaining sequel.
T3 is the studio getting all the money they can out of the franchise and destroying its legacy in the process. it felt like i was watching a spoof of the first two - it was so bad.
because it wasnt directed by james cameron it was always going to be weaker than the other two (he invented the whole concept).
having no linda hamilton or ed furlong meant it was hard to relate it to the previous films, plus the guy who played conner looked like a monkey.
the script was poor, the effects (like the time travel arrival) looked over the top and cr*p, the female terminator was a cynical gimmick.
for me the terminator series starts at T1 and ends at T2.
if they were going to do another film they should have done a prequel explaining the back story that is mentioned in T1: The machines send a terminator back, the humans send kyle reese back and blow up the time travel device "just me and him". that film, set in the war could have been great.

I can see your point, I sort of agree on it started at T1 and finished at T2, come to think of it everything you dsaid there is true. It should have finished at T2 but that foreign directors wanted the money. Thats why i thought the whole "delayed" concept licked balls.
James cameron should of sticked with his original answer to them buying it, no!
But hell it's out now and even if it is a sham I still enjoyed it. I do admit they shouldn't of needed a budget so huge just to add a few more flickers and sparks about.
