I loved this flick. Arnold is back.

The "Talk to the Hand" seen was hilarious. Classic Arnold.

Cool ending. Can't wait to see the Machines take over in the next flick.

It's make believe, don't try to over analyze or you really won't enjoy it.

See that's what really bothers me about T3 - I just rewatched Terminator and T2 and how any of you can say Arnold is back or that this movie is a great follow up to the other two just makes me realize how great it is that humans have independent thought - because I can't fathom saying those words or even thinking them for a second.

T1 and T2 weren't just movies for the sake of being movies - they had messages throughout them and used action as a guise to hook an audience. T3 basically just pissed all over those messages as far as I was concerned and showed such little respect for the ideas from the original creators of the series - hmm, kinda like Skynet showed disrepect for the humans that created it - yeah, maybe that's what they were going for there - eh - we agree to disagree again - but I will turly say Arnold is back when he is a scary intimidating force who by looks alone would make you crap your pants - sadly I think those days are gone and Arnold has turned into a cartoon of his former self - but - this going nowhere - T4 will be an even bigger abomination than T3 - and gasp - they are all signed on for 2 more sequels! What the hell story are they going to tell in T5 considering T3 was the exact same story as T2 - except this time they weren't successful at stopping Judgement Day?

I see nothing wrong with them having a little fun with Arnold's character. I got a kick out of it.

Personally I'm looking forward to seeing the battles with all of the machines in the future movies. At work our system connects to the Predator UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle), basically a big remote control airplane. The UAV in T3 was pretty cool and the UAV's I've seen at trade shows are starting to have some of it's capabilities.

Just got back from seeing it and loved it!

Only flaw. Unlike T2 the score was a little more forgettable.

No John Williams.

Such a huge part of the Terminator films has been the music score, I was a little disappointed here.

Other then that this film was rock solid. A great action film. Arnie can't go wrong with the Terminator franchise :thumbup:

I wasn't really impressed with the special effects and story.

But I thought the movie was hilarious. I don't know if Arnie is as hilarious in the original verison as he sounds in the german version but me and my friends were laughing loudly so I really enjoyed it.
