I didn't like T2 because

-I thought it relied entirely too much on its special effects that were revolutionary back when people thought morphing was going to rule the earth. I can watch T1 over and over again and the police station scene always rocks. I can't help but giggle everytime I see the now embarresingly outdated T-1000 special effects. The T-1 equivalent would be if the end scene stop-motion terminator had been used throughout the entire movie.


Even without the special effects, Robert Patrick still made a pretty scary villain. (till he turned cheese in Charlie's Angels FT) But like Choson said, some games back then looked great while we were playing them, now, as technology rapidly ascends, those spiffy computer graphics back then will look dated. 10 years from now, someone will look at Matric:Reloaded and laugh till his head falls off. (actually, i think people are doing that already)

The point is that this is a needlessly gay hang up and you should enjoy special effects for what they are in the moment.
Of course the damned effects will get old fast. Two words: Star Wars.


-invincible villian. Ok, so he completely regenerates everytime you shoot him. T-1000 shows up, shoot him, bullet holes seal up, back to square one. Got old around the second time it happened. Watching Arnie take more and more damage in T1 was cool, Robert Patrick getting back up without a scratch everytime got old. HOW WILL THEY KILL IT? They should have ended it with the whole liquid nitrogen shatter thing, that at least would have been clever. Instead he completely reforms so they can drag the movie on for another ten minutes and give us the incredibly gay "thumbs up" ending.


Part of the fun for me was to see what cleverer more clever ways they would come up with to stop this thing. An implacable villain is a fucking scary one. Yes, the T-X was just as unstoppable, but, erm, isn't that the whole premise of all three movies. That's there an UNSTOPPABLE killing machine after you? Who cares about the time travel, destiny, fate bullshit. UNSTOPPABLE KILLING MACHINE = excuse to blow stuff up = GOOD summer movie. It was nice that they at least decided to add some intelligence to the rest of the plot.


-Friggin time travel concept rehashed. How many times is Skynet going to try this thing before it relizes it's not going to work? When the time came to send robots back in time to kill the resistence leader (who surely could NEVER be replaced) did it think "let's send an ultra advanced top of the line prototype model, an advanced model, and a scrub model back to different points in the past 15 years apart from one another"? Plz be concentrating more on the war with machines thanky, I could use a decent one after watching the horrible Animatrix. The trailers show promise that this will be the case. Is it? Or do all the future scenes take place in the first few minutes like in T2?


see above.
But this, for you, i guess, would be the major downside of T3, especially when John Conner starts thinking about fate and destiny and whatnot.

If they really took the time travel concept seriously, why don't the resistance just send someone back to avert the nuclear disaster? Why don't they send someone back to kill Feynman and Einstein? Why don't the machines send an army of whatever in-vogue model there is to do the job. Why don'ts, why nots and if if ifs.

too much thinking = not enough shit blowing up = bad summer movie.


-Cyborg as father figure: gay.


Agreed


Teaching machines to love: gay.


Robin Williams begs to differ.



Listening to teen brat go on about how cool it is to have his own robot: gay.


Having your own robot is cool


Based on this, would I hate T3?


You sound like you're all ready to hate it anyway.
But so was I and so was Bill.

But then i saw it, and i liked it.
and i think people should like it too.
