The Buffster's Terminator III Review
 

Obviously, the series should have ended after T2, but you know Hollywood. On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being The Hulk or The Crow II City of Angels, and 10 being Black Hawk Down or Saving Private Ryan, I generously give T3 a 2. Yes, that's a bit higher than it deserves, but the uplifting scene of the ICBM re-entries and the ensuing explosions deserves 2 points for artistic beauty.

The long and short of it is that this movie doesn't deserve a full Buff review, so I'll just hit a couple of the finer points:

1. Standing Around -- Look, don't stand around and gawk at shit when you're being chased by a T-X. It's just... well, it's stupid. Along the same lines, don't waste time doling out thank-yous and such in the heat of the battle -- there's plenty of time for that later, when you're not about to get fried with a plasma weapon.

2. Basic General Knowledge -- Magnets erase hard drives, or at the very least, corrupt them. The magnetic field created by a supercollider, if strong enough to melt the metallic skin of a T-X, will probably be strong enough to wipe its (her) hard drives clean. Just my 2 cents. Have any of you ever been tossed 40 feet across a room and landed on a concrete floor or hit a metal cabinet as a result, while not wearing any protective gear? No? Me either, but I've watched some of those home videos of skateboarding and bicycle spills, and I am thinking it's got to be about the same. Translation: Broken bones, lots of blood, concussions, disorientation, unconsciousness, and death are all pretty standard results.

3. General Stupidity -- When you want to assassinate people, don't make a lot of commotion. Sneak up on them and do it. I don't recommend a reckless, highly destructive 45 minute chase through the middle of the city with a half dozen vehicles. And instead of the shoot first, test DNA later method, try the stealthy approach -- for instance pretend to be someone the target might know or have a reason to talk to, and then put two in his/her head. It's not that hard really. Sure, then there's no movie, but if something simple like that can undermine the movie, maybe the movie shouldn't be made in the first place. Oh yeah, and look, if you and the rest of your quick reactionary force (probably a SWAT Team) pump 2000 rounds into what appears to be just a big human being, and he doesn't even flinch, go ahead and make a tactical suggestion to your team commander. Make it something along the lines of:

You: "Alpha Six Four, this is Alpha Six One, our weapons aren't having any effect on this guy. I just emptied my 4th clip into him and he hasn't flinched. Oh yeah, the CS gas didn't have any effect either. And that casket looks to weigh about 600 pounds and he's carrying it on his shoulder with one arm. I'd like to make a suggestion, sir -- let's get the fuck out of here, because he is armed, and my body reacts differently than his when mine gets riddled with bullets, over."

Team Leader: "Alpha Six One, negative! I repeat, negative! Hold in place and continue to deplete your ammunition uselessly like everyone else. I'm gonna go try to tackle him after we all run out of ammo, over."

You: "Roger that, sir." (Turn and aim weapon at Alpha Six Four and pump 4 rounds into his hatrack)

In summation, this movie sucked a giant donkey anus.

where did you steal this review ?

i agree this movie was BEYOND crap.

so many fucking advertisements in it.

the acting was brutal (i.e. Claire Danes) and the plotholes and general lapses in logic that you pointed out were huge.

the last 10 minutes in the shelter were the only things that were remotely interesting in the movie.

this is definitely close to a 2/10

I kinda enjoyed it, even though all the points you made were true. Mindless action at its best. And the fact that they wiped out most of the human race at the end left me smiling.

But then again, I also enjoy spraying the neighbour's cats with a super soaker, so your mileage may vary.

I seen the Hulk too, and I enjoyed T3 a lot more.

you guys take these movies too seriously

its obviously a science FICTION movie, meant to entertain, meaning its not gonna be a realistic documentary

since it grossed $74 million over the holiday weekend, I'd say a lot of people probably liked it

Did anyone notice the hearse lost hubcaps from the right hand side; once during a sharp left turn, and again going up an embankment. Then after those two shots, you still see 1 hubcap on the right hand side of the car.

I did notice the hub cap thing but I also thought the movie was really good, Arnold can act like a robot VERY well

I thought T3 rocked face... but then again, I'm a fan of the series, and thought more deeply of the previous 2 movies then just Terminator action.

As far as perpetuating the series is concerned, this movie is great, the way it lays down the "lore", really leaves me wanting to see T4.

I do agree that Claire Danes didn't belong in that movie... it really needed another strong female character like Linda Hamilton, not some "princess" like Claire Danes.

T3 isn't as good as the previous 2 films, but it is still a good movie for Terminator fans.

How can you speculate on future, fictional technology like that?

The movie was not as bad as you make it out to be. It didn't have the magic of the T2, because James Cameron didn't direct this one, but it was still worth watching though.

Talk to the hand.

why are you WASTING our time on ab ADULT WEBMASTER BOARD with this non-industry related CRAP.

go away.

please go away.

and dont' come back.

That my post irritates you is just a positive side effect.

I didnt expect T3 to be good, I doubt I'll even go see it or rent it ever.

there's a difference between irritating me and WASTING my time.

you're just useless.

lets just say I concur :thumbsup

Only you can waste your own time. Take responsibility for your own actions. No on forced you to click my post.

Also, quit whining like a little bitch.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being Ebert's lame paid reviews from the indutstry itself 99% of the time, and 10 the majority of Rotten tomatoe's reviews, I generously give The Buffster's Terminator III Review a 1.5

Even James Cameron enjoyed the fucking movie. Now get the fuck out. :glugglug

Sleazy he got a point you know ;)

It seems to me you are more than average GFY dumbfuck ;)

as for the topic still haven't saw the movie yet :)

Thanks Buff,

You saved me $10.00 for movie tickets, $8.00 for parking and $20.00 for refreshments. I owe you one.

Hey, no problem! Glad to help. Make it up to me by saving me from watching a shitty movie someday.

Let's see what it does next weekend. $74 million is the people who had been lured in by the promos and ads for the last year.

i am taking responsibility. I'm trying to get rid of useless pieces of garbage like you

You have a lot of hostility. Go get laid. Or are you broke?

dude, I really dont see you saying this in any other(many) "non-issue related crap" threads. Just when buff post, sorta makes me think you might have penis envy
:)

EASY fix, dont click if ya dont wont to read

:glugglug

LOL

i can't be everywhere at once. I should really crap out on more people.

yes, I'm a broke virgin. happy?


go to some other board with your uninteresting bullshit crap topics

No. In fact, I'm going to increase my production of non-industry related posts just to spite you.

Yup..and although it seems like not too many people on this board like it, it's getting pretty damn good reviews overall. Just take a peak at the fresh rating at rotten tomatoes. I enjoyed it for what it was, not for what I thought it would be.

please do. everyone needs to know just how much a FOOL you really are before you get banned from here and from most people's business circles.

I like how you capitalized "FOOL" for emphasis; that really pushed the point home.

Quit whining like a little bitch.

just go away. noone from the industry likes you here anyway

You must be noone.

Sleazy, that is all GFY is about for the most part...

When did Lensman die and make you King Cockholster?

I'm surprised you didn't know?

I'd say that most people think you are crap. Especially if you think Black Hawk Down deserves a 10. (And comparing T3 to that) You lost all credibility there. It's not like if you had any before anyway

I'd say that you don't speak for most people, but I concede that you probably speak for most inbred cross-eyed douchefag pussies with small cocks and IQs under 80.

I have been out of town, if I would have known I would have addressed your properly... Sleazy Majestic Cockholster of GFY.

It has a ring to it! :thumbsup

he speaks for most people on this topic

How old are you? 10 ? Surely that is your mentality.

By any standards Black Hawk Down in a much better movie then T3.

Not that I am a fan of Hollywood, but how many Acadamy Awards was BHD nominated for? How many will T3 be nominated for?

How many awards will T3 win - peoples choice, acadamy awards, etc... then compare it to what Black Hawk Down won.

Hell I bet box office sales were much higher for Black Hawk Down....

I suggest you keep your day job and stay away from movie reviews!
