i don't know why people hate 3 so much. i rated it as pretty decent when i first watched it. not the spectacular of 2, but that fire engine scene was pretty fucking good, plus that bird playing the terminator was fit as..
SALVATION wasn't exactlky terrible either.
i wager both the above are better than this latest effort. the lass playing sarah connor has all the acting chops of a wet lettuce leaf from what ive seen of her
I felt the 3rd film had a very "made for TV" feel about it despite it's budget. The casting of a female villain was never going to work and the film was riddled with poor attempts at humour. Arnie was just too old at this point to be convincing in the role as well.
The opening scene summed it up for me. In the first film, Arnie gets his clothes from some violent punks. In the less brutal but still alpha 2nd film, he gets his clothes from some violent hell's angels.
By the comical and silly 3rd film, Arnie gets his clothes from a camp male stripper during a female hen party - his outfit is even complete with Elton John sunglasses.
They literally turned one of the most bad ass characters in film history into a joke. The 3rd. 4th and 5th films feel more like a mock parody of the first two.
