My toughts about Terminator 3

**Karpo_007** · 08-06-2003, 09:08 AM

These last few days I've been in Helsinki[capitol of Finland] mainly to watch Terminator 3 in the biggest silver screen possible. Im not going to write a long review, just post my toughts about the movie.

Well I'm sure evreyone knew this before watching the movie, but it isn't a master piece like T2: Judgement day. That being said it's probably the best action movie made in past 10 years. Mostov's vision of the Terminator isn't as dark and desperate and Cameron's, but if you are a long time Arnold fan the humor is only a plus. The money really shows, special effects are just something else.

It also has the Terminator feel in it, early Hunter Killers look very cool, and Arnold shows that he still has it in him. Human characters in the movie aren't that strong, The Terminators steal the show completely.

Only really negative thing I can think of is the script. It isn't that strong, but doesn't bother when you are watching the movie either[didn't bother me atleast]. The move proved that it is possible to make good sequels after so long perioid of time.

By the Way, I also magaed to see Termnator 2 in the movie[70mm extra wide]. If you ever get a chance to see it in a good theater, take it. It beats the DVD 10-0.

When you saw it, was it in english or dubbed in you're native tongue?

**Karpo_007** · 08-06-2003, 10:11 AM

Thank god they don't dub movies here like they do in so many European countries.

Lucky you! On the other hand, Arnold being dubbed is not the worst thing I could think of...

Damn right. T3 was freaking awesome. My favourite movie of the summer.

Sayonara.

I read it blew ass.

Then you read wrong. Not only was it the shock of the summer by being about a million times better than it had ANY right to be, it actually had a story that made sense (even if it did make everything we thought we knew from T1 and T2 a lie), some good acting, and a sense of drama that I didn't expect from a "summer action movie". The ending threw me for a complete loop, and it was so completely brilliant because instead of just redoing T2 (which is what I think everyone was expecting), it actually told a story of its own and advanced the Terminator mythology in an important way.

Fun Fact #1: James Cameron loved T3. In a recent interview, he said that while he probably would not have done the movie the same way, he couldn't say for certain that he could have done it *better*.

Fun Fact #2: The actor that played John Connor in T3 said recently that he's under contract for three (!) more Terminator movies. That in no way means that any more Terminator movies are on the way, it only means that IF they are made, the same actor will be playing John Connor.

Overall: T3 isn't better than T2, but it's way better than T1 and a damn good movie in its own right.

**Karpo_007** · 08-06-2003, 04:36 PM

Yes, the movie was really a positive suprise. And no, it ceratianly wasn't T2 remade, theme was entirely diffrent. After seeing T3 I have no objection for further sequels, I think it would be about time to see the war against the machines. Well it all depends on how much money T3 will do.

And it definetly was the best movie this summer, but I still say it's the best action movie made in last 10 years.

What do you have to say about THAT, Leo?

**GK Punk** · 08-07-2003, 10:25 PM

Hey Rez, I think he was talking to you actually...

Anyways, I am really looking Forward to James Cameron's Battle Angel Alita. It may be the next movie he works on.

Ummm, no s**t, Sherlock. I was referring to how Leo says I insult people without reason when in fact what Doom said was more uncalled for than I usually post...

GK is now on my list of victims of "Wrath agains people with no common sense"...

**GK Punk** · 08-07-2003, 10:29 PM

Oh, well in that case "Jack ass" you should have said that in your post in the first place. People can't read your mind.

edit: And I think it's VERY evident that "Jack ass" is in quotes, because it is sarcastic. Thank you, drive through. Thanks for visiting Burger World.

~~Leo656~~ · 08-07-2003, 11:07 PM

What am I supposed to say about it? Yeah it was an uncalled for thing to say, but why am *I* suddenly supposed to comment on it? Am I suddenly the "insult police" around here? Just because I think that YOU make some unnecessary comments, suddenly I have to publicly decry, denounce, and bitchslap every single person who steps out of line? What next, you want me to shake the tip for you, too? He was insulting you, not me, therefore it doesn't concern me. The reason I called you on your behavior in the first place was that you pulled it on me after I'd seen you do it to other people for months. Thus, it especially annoys me when you do it. Other people's squabbles don't concern me if I have no personal involvement.

In this case, Doom hasn't pissed me off personally so far, aside from making some comments to people that were both uneccessary and none of my business. He's stated opinions that I don't agree with, but your beloved "common sense" dictates that you CAN disagree with someone without insulting them or taking their difference of opinion as a personal attack. From what I've seen, YOU seem to have a hard time with that, because so often whenever someone states an opinion you don't agree with, you react as though they'd attacked your children or something.

I find it funny how after weeks of talking to you in numerous threads, you're reminded of a disagreement that took place weeks ago, and suddenly you act as though I'm the head of some grand conspiracy against you. And GK has plenty of common sense. He was merely pointing out what I already said, that *I* am in no way obligated to comment when someone else insults you needlessly the way you've done to so many others. You know what they say: "People who live in glass houses, should *definitely* not strut around nude." Or something.

Of course, god knows you probably won't bother sitting through another "painfully long post" to get to the point of it, so explaining anything to you is probably a huge waste of my time anyway.

*That Matt Guy* · 08-07-2003, 11:42 PM

...Uh ...So yeah, how about that Terminator?

*R-iZZy* · 08-08-2003, 02:12 AM

This movie actually was great!!! The ending does make you think... it made me hate Arnold so much, but it wasn't his fault. That was his main objective and that was what he was programmed to do. I won't spoil it... but damn, I just wish he obeyed commands instead of go by his purpose.
