Good Points: Keeps with continuity of previous films Unless your mates told you the ending before you watched the film....twist at the end.
Bad Points: In film jokes ruin the feel remote control cars??...shyeah..right. Plug head back in after it gets ripped off??? ...shyeah right
General comments: OK...So arny is getting old. But he pulled it off and they needed to keep the termy looking the same. I liked the way they managed to keep all the films in flow so you don't go saying "yeah but in the second film this happens so how does that match with the third film" etc. If you watch the first film again you will see bits mentioned in the third one that you never gave a second thought to, eg: the Assasin terminators.
This film, I felt, explained a lot and yes, it does leave an opening for a possible 4th film.
There are some cheesy bits, like the way arny gets his clothes and the "talk to the hand" piece made me vomit violently. Remote control cars was a weird one, how do they steer? When Arny gets his head ripped off and he sits up and plugs it back in?? I don't think so.
You need to understand though that this is all just entertainment and shouldn't be taken too seriously and try to concentrate on the plot then I think you will find this an enjoyable film.

I had the choice between Pirates of The Caribbean or this film, Terminator 3- Rise of the Machines, one lazy saturday afternoon - I chose unwisely.
Within minutes there were signs that this was going to be a dog. Arnie grabs motorcycle gear from a male srtipper and puts on the elton johnish spangled shades - but then takes them off and crushes them - OH DEAR - in jokes, you just know it is going down hill from here.
Half way through I realised I didnt care what happened to anyone - I wa ...

Why is it that as soon as someone comes up with an unbeatable formula someone else comes along and ruins it? The Terminator films peaked with James Cameron's second instalment in 1991. The action was slick, the storyline reasonably believable and the effects groundbreaking but not overbearing.
Terminator 3: Rise of the machines was a mistake. Arnie, although still looking good for his age, is too old and the necessary requirement of all movies these days to include a good looking woman becaus ...

The previous two terminator films were extremely good so this film had a lot to live up to but in my opinion Terminator 3- Rise of the Machines more than deliverd. The film is a little more light hearted than the previous two films but the script, acting and effects are all up to scratch. This film is not as dark as the previous films and the female 'terminatrix' is not as scary as the two previous male terminators, however this film is never the less great fun. Dont be fooled by the 12a rating ...
