T3 is really just a Wanna watch a wacky Terminator movie? type of flick. It has its moments. If you take the plot of the first two movies seriously, then T3 will not be for you. If you just wanna see Arnie be the terminator one last time before he gets too old to realistically portray the usual version of the T-800, then its harmless. --- Live action Hungry Hungry Hippos though, now that was a sport. ~Aeon Azuran <cite>The_Popo posted [p:984454789] in Do I need ...

I've the T2: Special Edition & its Michael Biehn-Kyle Reese moment is massive for me as a T1 (preferred) fan. Still, they're not films locked into a double feature mode like some sequels done tighter like BTTF or POTC 2 & 3. <cite>2001mark posted [p:984475575] in Do I need ...

Thanks to T2 being such an active part of the cultural zeitgeist in the 90s, I had the notion of Arnie's Terminator as an action hero in my head way before I was old enough to actually watch the Terminator movies. So the big surprise for me was the opposite, when I watched T1 and discovered that the Terminator was originally a villain. <cite>JustaSandwich posted [p:984493349] in Do I need ...
