Reviews
What sickness in the filmmakers inspired them to go ahead and make this TV movie sludge instead of doing some kind of stab at creating the feel of a "Terminator" film?
A lean, efficient, amusing action picture, T3 isn't a patch on its predecessors, but delivers polished genre entertainment nonetheless.
T3 has the sour, depressive vibe of an untested director submitting to a predetermined mythology not his own.
T3 does not have the sense of humanity that the two previous films had, but Mostow's focused direction helps get the job done.
Sadly, what began as a smart sci-fi franchise has apparently been huffing glue since 1985.
That Rise of The Machines is a genuinely good, thoughtful action flick has to register as a surprise...
The Terminator franchise has developed to the point where simple genre pleasures just aren't enough.
