Terminator 3(SPOILERS)

[Bob]

Did it annoy anyone else how John Connor would stare endlessly at everything? He always had this blank 'duhh...' look on his face when things were happening around him. I think it happened during every action scene.

examples:

"That flying robot thing is coming at me, I'll lay here and hope I don't die. Oh, the girl saved me."

"The terminator just tried to kill me, now he's beating this shit out of a car. I'll lay on the ground and stare instead of leaving or helping my lady friend."

"I just opened the vault door thing. Instead of going in, I'll stare at the door. Oh, the terminator is going to hold it open for me. Now I'll take my time to go through, because I have lots of time to do this."

"Maybe if I look at the C4, it'll do something cool. Oh wait, I'm a dumbass."

I'm pretty sure that these were the thoughts going through his head. And I know this happened atleast 10 more times in the movie. John Connor was such a goof-ball this time around.

You've never been in a situation where you felt the world is being pulled under your feet, have you? Let's see how you'd act if as you were reading this the door to your apartment were to blow up, a burly guy with a shotgun would walk up to you and say "It is time", and couple of hours after you'd be running away from giant minigun-wielding tank robots and a blonde robot with a flamethrower trying to save the world from a nuclear apocalypse.

Was anyone bothered by the fact that John Connor, who didn't even go to highschool, knew how to use a particle accelerator?

Btw, nice avatar.

I disliked T3, I found it boring as hell.
It was pretty much one long chase scene, a boring chase scene at that.
The big crane thing that was so hyped up wasn't really that impressive either.

And another thing, at the end when arnold is holding open the door and keeping the T-X from getting through he takes out his hydrogen fusion, I think he said fusion, fuel cell so that it blows up like the last one, which had a damn big explosiong.
It explodes and no damage to the vault door, ok I can live with that, but what about the T-X's power source?
That would have exploded as well, and would have certainly destroyed the vault doors as it was some sort of 'plasma reactor', though I have no idea how the hell a plasma reactor would even be able to work. Because it is plasma it would have melted through the doors with ease, thereby allowing nuclear fallout to get in and kill John Conner and that chick with him.

what are you, a physicsist now? Maybe we should stop complaining about realism and just enjoy the movie. Sure we like movies to be believable but considering its a movie i can let a lot of things slide. By your logic you probably didnt like 'star wars' cause the explosion of the deathstar is unbelievable to science realism.

I liked T3, it wasn't a masterpiece of any kind, but it was nice to see.

Besides, if you ever need to see a movie version of a Fallout-y universe, the last fifteen minutes are exactly what you need to see

 

[megatron]

I just saw it. Thought it was pretty good. As good as t2 anyway. I thought the first one was a totally different sort of film, so it wouldn't be fair to compare them (like alien and aliens)

It's hard to point out flaws in a plasma battery if it doesn't exist. They're probably shielded to, else the last 2 terminators would have exploded in a nice mushroom-cloud.

I don't think the crane was 'hyped-up', and thought the chase scene was better than matrix: reloaded.

I agree that john conner seemed a bit wet in this movie. His mother can transform from a waitress into a commando, while john conner is just a homeless dude who waits for someone else to do his work. What a good saviour of the human-race eh? Even the vet could blow up a robot, while he gets to empty a clip at some empty space. What a hero.

I liked the humour in T3, but thought it was a little over-done at parts (like the conversation in the mobile-home, finding out sarah conners dead etc.). But at least the one-liners were funny and memorable, compared to most action movies.

I think you're being to nit-picky. It's a summer action movie, with a 55-year old lead star, 2 new actors, good action and a coherant story. And it didn't suffer from being 12A either, so a guy can cut into his stomach but OMG we cant see neo stop an axe with his hand or swear :OOOO.

 

[Malky]

His mother can transform from a waitress into a commando...

Eheheh..I wonder how many people actually think about that.

2 new actors...

Who? Nick Stahl and Claire Daines? They've been acting for quite sometime now. Did anyone notice the similarities between Nick Stahl and Michael Biehn (Kyle Reese, John's father)? They look very much alike, and even sound the same at some points in the movie. He was a good choice.

The thing I was disappointed in most about this movie was the utter lack of brutality. I mean, there was way too little on screen violence...this is Terminator, for chrissakes. They cheesed it up for the young ones, I say!

[megatron]

yea like when tx punched through that guys chest and drove the car around, or he cut open his chest to get to the BATTERY OMG

I didn't know they were experienced actors, I thought they were hyping it up about new-comers or some shit.

Still a good movie.

 

[Brother None]

His mother can transform from a waitress into a commando...

Eheheh..I wonder how many people actually think about that.

Actually, the whole personality-swings seems to be a thing for the Terminator-movies. Arnold going from bad to good. Sarah going from wuss to commando and now John going from punk-ass kid with a lot of guts into whiny-stary guy.

Which is not the actor's fault, it's just a personality switch. He'll prolly be uber in the next movie.

Yeah

Uber

Like uber-Jason.

Go uber-Jason (too bad he's not returning for Nightmare 11 "Freddy vs Jason")

The thing I was disappointed in most about this movie was the utter lack of brutality. I mean, there was way too little on screen violence...this is Terminator, for chrissakes. They cheesed it up for the young ones, I say!

-Malk

Nonsense, Malky, you can't say TX was less brutal than "I'll be a sneaky bastard" T-1000.
