He makes a cameo appearance, which is meaningless. Doesn't matter, 2 was the only good one. Great story and great early CGI. Remember how amazed we were at some of it? Kid stuff now.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

He makes a cameo in the *trailer*. We don't know how much he will be in the final film. I thought he was going to be a main character, but I guess we'll find out. The original was also great in my opinion. Of course, film tastes are personal. "You think I'm joking." -EvenBob |

His face makes a 1 second appearance in the trailer, we can guess he'll be in the movie for 5 min or less. If he was in more, we would see more of him in the trailer. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

She doesn't play on your team.  While T2 was a massive box office smash earning over $500m worldwide in 1991, the next three earned $370-$440 million worldwide. While not really enough to justify the production budgets, it shows that the franchise still has potential. |

I believe I have only seen T3 a single time. I remember being very excited about it in high school, even changing the wallpaper on the family computer to a picture of the T-X. It didn't resonate with me, but I guess I should watch it again. "You think I'm joking." -EvenBob |

| Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 239 Posts: 6095 | I thought T3 kept a great tempo and suspense. What can I say, I liked it. I would put it about equal to T2. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

| odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5104 | There's a really good chase scene, using all kinds of vehicles including fire dept. ladder trucks in the last one i saw, which I believe was T3 I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

Yes, that is quite early on in T3. T3 is really good at parts, but I thought it just kind of fizzled out at the end and was anticlimactic. And kind of lame to kill Sarah Connor off with a line of dialogue about her having cancer. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |
