Saw this film yesterday. I really have mixed feelings about it, some good and some bad. I'd been waiting 11 years to see it, so my expectations were set VERY high (I saw T2 when I was 4 :D).
Plot: Sounding like a broken record, John Connor is living off the grid, and another two terminators have been sent back through time - one to terminate him, and another to protect him. It would simply be a case of which one would reach him first. While it's similar in terms to the 2nd film, it's a good enough plot.
10/10
Script: While the scripting was relevant and explained a lot that the first two films did not, there was too much comedy in my opinion that was just irrelevant. While the whole "Talk to duh hand" thing showed that this T-101 learns also, there was just some stupid dialogue. There were some cool phrases though, pity a lot of them sounded better in the trailer :|
7/10
Acting: Arnie isn't a brilliant actor, but I thought Claire Danes and Nich Stahl did pretty well, especially the latter. Kristianna Loken was nothing special as the Terminatrix, but then she's playing a machine, so what can ye do?
7/10
Cast: The casting was done well, especially for John Connor, but I would've preferred Edward Furlong assuming the role of Connor once again. Still, what can be done? He took drugs, yadda, yadda, yadda. Kristianna Loken was nothing special as the T-X, but there could've been a lot worse people to play the part, like Chyna :|
8/10
Best bit: Arnie blowing himself and the T-X up. But wait, I thought he couldn't self terminate. Or is that an act that leads to self-termination and is therefore not counted.
Ending: It ends on a cliffhanger, which was slightly annoying. Still, we got the brilliant battle in Nevada before that, so I'll let Mostow off for that.
8/10
A good film, but a bit of a pop-corn film. I think Cameron could've made it better, but not that much better. There were some clever bits, such as the TX having her metal stripped off by the magnet etc, but it seemed as though it was appealing to a younger audience. I have one relief in that nothing was cut for the 12A release. Roll on Terminator 4, and for those of you suggesting this, it is in no way confirmed a Terminator 5 will happen, and probably will not.

I saw this on Saturday.
Somewhere between 'pretty good' and 'very good' I'd say. Can't touch the first two though.
No sir-ee Bob.

no-one's wrong. I myself thought the film was very enjoyable, and the violence came as a pleasant surprise given the 12A rating. I just wish that James Cameron would have done it - but then again, maybe not...after the tripe of the past few Aliens films I think maybe he's losing his touch.

Your all wrong, T3 was crap. And I loved the first 2, this one didn't have a memorable sceane in it.
Agrh I'm so frustrated they went away from the films traditional roots, and you were wrong about the TX, she was the only one who put a good performance in.

If you say the writing "Ending", why read any further? Plus, if you'd been here any time at all, you'd have noticed ALL of my reviews are like this. Now lick my hairy nipples. Nipplecake.

No, "Talk to the hand" wasnt even invented back then. He learnt it from the stripper in the bar.
