But save for the ending that sets it up for T-4, we are left wanting more, much more."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher 3.5/4 "It left me feeling giddy like a kid at a carnival."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 3/4 "Jonathan Mostow's T3 is a spectacular addition to the franchise."   Movie Boeuf   David N. Butterworth 3.5/4 "...Cameron set an incredibly high standard for this series, and Mostow has to be commended for staying true to the themes and ideas established in the first two flicks..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair C+ "Makes for a fine summer blockbuster sci-fi action flick, as it throws no unnecessary curves to its expectant fan base."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3/4 "The film reimagines the Adam and Eve myth but with a post-industrial edge and a distinctly feminist slant."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B "It delivers as a knock-’em-down powerhouse popcorn flick, and though it may be nothing new, it’s certainly an exciting incarnation of something old."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3.5/4 "In the action department, James Cameron is a God. So save for a few choice fanatics, Jonathan Mostow could then be Jesus."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress A- "Directed by genre genius Jonathan Mostow, this is maybe the best pure action movie since... well, since Terminator 2."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3/4 "This juiced-up futuristic fable is delightfully on maximum overdrive and Arnold S. does what he does best—deliver his brand of robotic ribaldry with the precision of an extremely well-oiled machine."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C+ "A superfluous sequel...while the movie is as smooth and efficient as one of the cyborgs that populate the series, it's also just as soulless."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek "A sci-fi actioner with a surprising take on America's weapons of mass destruction."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "Terminator 3 is the summer movie of 2003 that hard-core action fans have been awaiting."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli "Ultimately terminator 3's unremitting cynicism wore me down and I grew simply resentful towards the movie. It exists for no other purpose than to be number three in a brand name franchise that would guarantee good box office returns."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   James O'Ehley 4/5 "Blatantly opportunistic sequel has plot holes, logic problems, minimal innovation ... and a fistful of block-rockin' action."   Netflix   James Rocchi 4/10 "They made a clone, but left behind the soul -- T3 is T2 without the heart, spirit, and humanity."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 8/10 "This film is as entertaining as any film that I've seen so far this year."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 7/10 "...entertaining for the moment, exciting, even exhilarating in parts, but ultimately it's an empty exercise in fuss and bother that leaves one strangely dissatisfied."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 3/4 "'Mostow logra una cinta llena de acción, con buenos efectos especiales que no decepciona ni al más clavado fanático de la franquicia.'"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 4.5/5 "A big fun love letter to the first two movies, and worth the wait. But I am a sucker for the Terminator."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3/4 "... the newest installment of "The Terminator" aims at nothing less than propelling the franchise in a new direction... better than the original "Terminator" in everything but concept."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 4.5/5 "Terminator 3 has guts."   Film Threat   Kevin Carr 4/4 "The coolest summer blockbuster you could wish for!"   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 3/5 "Director Jonathan Moscow and screenwriters John Brancato and Michael Ferris pack the film with muscular action sequences, but the human factor provided by Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor is sorely missed."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 2/4 "A well-made but empty spectacle that is missing dread, thrills, and, most importantly, variation."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "A big slice of apocalyptic, time-traveling, stuff blowin’ up real good, self-referential, twisting back on itself, sorta mind-blowing slice of geek heaven."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2/5 "A chaotic mess, saddled with its own utter meaninglessness and afflicted by the need to be bigger-better-faster-more."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3.5/4 "In terms of summer movie action, Terminator 3 kicks The Matrix Reloaded’s ***."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B+ "The new model has lots of upgrades, lots of new powers, surprising plot twists and some funny lines. But the best part of Terminator 3 remains the old formula: it's one long, exciting chase scene."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 3/5 "Em retrospecto, acaba prejudicando seus antecessores."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 3/4 "I went into the screening not exactly looking forward to the idea of a "T3" and emerged two hours later eager for a "T4"."   Critic Doctor   Peter Sobczynski 2/5 "T3 has the sour, depressive vibe of an untested director submitting to a predetermined mythology not his own."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves C+ "The first two films are classics. The third is just another carnival ride: fun perhaps, but ultimately disposable."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B "T3 is the real full throttle movie of the summer."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B "["Terminator 3"] is familiar, with a good pedigree, slick, well crafted and has a decent script. It doesn’t get much better third time around."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford "More time seems to be spent on giving Schwarzenegger corny one-liners than establishing the TX as a genuine threat."   Movie Views   Ryan Cracknell 3.5/5 "Certainly of a higher caliber than many of the assembly-line sequels we're often presented with but clearly missing that technological awe that came with Ts 1 and 2."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg B "... in a summer of comic book super-operas dense with psychological torment and sprawling well over two hours, the unpretentious efficiency of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines is refreshing."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 3.5/5 "Pounds forward with brute force, squeezing in plot points wherever possible."   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell B "Against all odds, a smart, rousing extension of Cameron's paranoid fantasy that not only meshes seamlessly with the past and future continuities of the earlier films, but actually advances the apocalyptic mythology."   Decent Films Guide   Steven D. Greydanus 7/10 "Super spectacular summer popcorn picture, packing more fireworks than the Fourth of July. Adrenaline addicts are gonna love the fast-paced action."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 2.5/4 "The pleasures of this text reside almost completely in the sensation that we're watching an extremely well-funded kid playing with toy cars and action figures in a toy city."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Terminator 3 no está a la altura de sus antecesoras, pero tampoco decepciona del todo. Jonathan Mostow no es James Cameron, pero es un director con muy buen sentido del ritmo y el espectáculo."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio 7/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf 3/4 Read review   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 2.5/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 5/10 Read review   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R.
