Unwanted and unnecessary, "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" is the third instalment of the "Terminator" lore, and while it does continue the franchise story leading up to Judgement Day, they go pretty distant from the first two films.

Having Arnold back actually made this laughably bad, because he is almost parodying the best bits of the originals and fighting off a lady terminator. Getting rid of iconic characters like Sarah Connor by saying she died of cancer was such an easy way out that I just let it go, but when your film relies on cheap pyrotechnics and bad dialogue to drive the film, yeah, you're in for a real treat.

In the end, "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" is not an insult to the originals, but more of an insult to your intelligence. It has a few nice moments, but the action is too dumb and the characters decisions are very questionable.

This movie is meh at best, but on a pure entertainment scale, I have no proble turning my brain off to enjoy.
