Im afraid the movie will be the biggest disapointment this year. Last Years was Episode 2.

That Matt Guy 06-20-2003 07:11 PM

It looks terrible. Arnold is really showing his age.

Karpo_007 06-20-2003 07:15 PM

Well he says he's an older model... :lol:

Happy B-day.
I CANNOT WAIT!!!

Raven 06-21-2003 02:30 PM

happy b-day
i'll see with my friends but must likely not on opening day

liltimmyw 06-21-2003 07:11 PM

I will see it. But I'm afraid that I will be disapointed. Nothing can be T2. And Episode 2 wasn't bad, just Anakin's acting was.

Karpo_007 06-21-2003 07:12 PM

No, it's not nearly the only thing, but I won't go into details in this thread.

The 7th Turtle 06-22-2003 06:20 AM

happy b-day!
and i'm not gonna watch it... sounds really dumb

Karpo_007 06-22-2003 07:22 AM

Im intrested to hear how they managed to build Skynet, every piece of future machines were destroyed at the end of T2.

InsaneZane 06-22-2003 11:51 AM

Thanx every1.

I am actually expecting the film to disappoint me, but what the shell, y'know... might as well do something.
Believe me, I don't FEEL this young.

Mars-Chan 06-22-2003 01:44 PM

*snorts* Just wait until you turn 19, Zane. It's all downhill from there.

Kameko 06-23-2003 04:54 PM

Happy Birthday!

Well, I know the movie isn't going to be all that great, certainly not as good as the first two, but I still want to see it. I like Arnold. He may not be the absolute greatest actor sometimes, but for the most part, I enjoy his movies. (Kindergarten Cop, the Terminator Movies, Jingle All the Way [corny but funny], Twins...)

But, dang, he is getting old. I just hope the movie doesn't totally suck. I'd hate to have wasted $10 just to see it in the theater...

EZweasel 06-23-2003 05:12 PM

arnold isnt looking old at all. hes freakin 60 and looks about the same as he did in the other ones. to tell the truth im hoping they do another predator movie with him in it. this is the movie ive been looking foward to more than any movie this year. i hope its as good as T2 but i have my doubts. but even if its not it will probably be beter than the first. I liked the guy they got for john conner and i like the name of the movie alot. i cant wait@!!!

Karpo_007 06-23-2003 05:29 PM

LOL :lol: The first one is atleast as good as T2. About Arnold's movies, I have alwyas loved them. And now it isn't hsi talent as a actor, but he just suits action movies. Predator, or Terminator movie wouldn't be the same without him. One of my faves is Commando. Everyone should watch that movie! :lol:

Eye of Sarnath 06-23-2003 06:02 PM

Commando is one of his best movies, after the Terminator series. In what other movie can you see Arnold take on pratically a whole army (and win)?

Anyway, how can T3 be dissappointing? All I'm expecting is to see Arnold blow a lot of stuff up. Like he does in all his other movies.

Raven 06-23-2003 06:44 PM

starts walking around liike aronald *I'LL BE BACK*

Because in previous movies besides Arnold blowing stuff up, there is also a story. A story that should have eneded after T2, everything that could creaty Skynet was destroyed... But I go practicly watch every action movie, So I will surely see it to.

Yeah!
The guy playing John Connor is Nick Stahl..
he can be seen in a movie called "Disturbing Behaivior" where he works with Katie Holmes and our friend, James Marsden (Cyclops- X-Men, X2)

Mars-Chan 06-24-2003 11:51 AM

Wasn't Nick also in "Tall Tale"?

HorseTechie 06-24-2003 12:15 PM

Hmmm.. unofrtunatley, I told my hubby to wait until he gets back from his trip for us to see this together in the theatres.

I'm not gonna hope that's it's awesome. After all, it's a sequel of a sequel. I'm just fascinated by the whole shiney mecha goodness about it. And that machines rule! :evilgrin:

Burning In H2O 06-25-2003 11:29 AM

Arnold is THE action character. In all of those 80's action movies, Arnold was the indestruactable one. I dislike the comment said about his age, beacsue he is still probably the strongest man in the world. If arnold makes a movie, I will not look at his age, action and cheesy comebacks all the way! Arnold is the BEST.

Eye of Sarnath 06-25-2003 11:31 AM

Advance word on T3 has been very good, very positive.

I agree, Commando is one of my all time favorites, and So is Predator. Still I have mixed feelings about a new Terminator movie...

Burning In H2O 06-25-2003 12:13 PM

Karpo I must say, al of hte other dissagreements aside, you know your Arnold movies. Also, my favorite part in Commando is when Arnold has Sully ahnging off the cliff

Arnold/Matrix: Do you remmeber Sully, when i said i was going to kill you last?

Sully: Yea thats right MAtrix, you did, you did!!!

Arnold/Matrix: I lied. *while dropping Sully of a cliff to his death*

It cracks me up

Eye of Sarnath 06-25-2003 01:41 PM

Yeah, that's a good part. Anyway Karpo, you shouldn't be worried about T3. There have been a couple of reviews I've read, all of which state that the movie is very good. Besides, if T3 is bad (highly unlikely) they can always redeem the series in T4 (and yes, there is going to be one)!

Karpo_007 06-26-2003 04:21 AM

Too many sequels are never good thing... Well Im not going to judge a movies before seeing it, I might be postively suprsied. It premieres here 08/01 so over a month to go.

That all depends on:

1) How good the writers are and

2) How good the continuity can be kept.

For any Trek fans out there (such as me), they'll know that perhaps the best movies of the series are the ones direcetly connected with the Genesis saga (II, III, and IV). The beauty about 3 and 4 is that they take place pretty much exactly where the previous movie left off; Trek 3 begins shortly after Spock's funeral as the Enterprise is on its way to spacedock after the final battle with Kahn, and Trek 4 takes place only a few days after the Fal Tor Pan on Vulcan.

There are even a few good sequels that aren't a continuation from the previous movie; for example, Robobcop 2 IMO was well done (sadly I can't say the same thing for 3) and yet it had very few connections with the first movie, if none at all.

The problem today is not the idea of a sequel iteself, it's the quality of the script(writer) and the production/FX. And trust me on this; just because a sequel has continuity, it in no way guarantees it will be good. Just look at Mortal Kombat: Annihilation; that one took place EXACTLY where the first movie left off, where Shao Kahn and Company have begun to invade Earth at the temple, and look how that lousy excuse for a movie turned out to be.

Mars-Chan 06-26-2003 01:26 PM

It looks really good! I can't wait!

Yes, sequels can be good, but thats pretty rare. Especially if the time between the movies is long. T2 was great because it was directed by James Cameron, the guy who invented the Terminator in the first place. T3 will never be as good as the first two, but it has potential.

By the way, Why does Every T Model-800 look like Arnold? :lol:

Mars-Chan 06-26-2003 01:49 PM

Gee, I don't know.... :lol:

Hey, hey, hey! Don't get me wrong! I'm a HUGE Arnold fan (moreso now that he's releasing T3), and he doesn't show his age at all, but he IS older than my parents, and that, in my book, is getting old. Not ancient, not at all, just getting up there in years.

Now that being said, let me reiterate how big of a fan of Arnold's I am. There are probably only one or two other actors out there (Namely, Will Smith and Jim Carrey) of whom I can name at least four movies, right off hand, that they've done. So any one who tries to say I'm insulting Arnold, or that I don't like him or something along those lines, you can just go jump in a lake. :P

Karpo_007 06-26-2003 08:54 PM

4? :lol: Given 10 minutes I could tell you 95% of the movies that Arnold has starred... Yeah, he was my hero when I was a kid :lol: .

Kameko 06-26-2003 08:59 PM

:P Hey, four is good for me. This is coming from someone who'd generally be hard pressed to point out Tom Cruise among a group of good-looking guys in a movie. :roll: I'm just not good with faces/names, I guess. :lol:

Mars-Chan 06-28-2003 05:10 PM

Arnold is STILL my hero! I love him in "Commando"! :evilgrin:

Karpo_007 07-01-2003 07:06 PM

After reading this review: http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/426/426843p1.html

I have really high hopes for the movie.

EZweasel 07-02-2003 11:31 AM
