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.

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.

I liked the guy they got for john conner and i like the name of the movie alot. i cant wait@!!!

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]

Wasn't Nick also in "Tall Tale"?

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!

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]

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]

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]

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]

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.

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?

[Mars-Chan]

Gee, I don't know....

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.

[Karpo_007]

4? 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 .

[Kameko]

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. I'm just not good with faces/names, I guess.

[Mars-Chan]

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

[Karpo_007]

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

I have really high hopes for the movie.

[EZweasel]

is it out today?? july 2nd?
