I saw this in theaters, I remember thinking the plot was "meh" but there were some good action scenes like when Arnold was on the crane but other than that and a female Terminator. There was nothing particularly memorable about it

So what’s the stance on Terminator 3?

This is what I was gonna say. I liked that plot twist at the end.
It's a bad movie.
Ha. I mean sure.
Man, I wish the Bale Terminator went with the original ending. The idea of...

The only way John Conner being the leader of the resistance could ever actually be successful was because it was just a T-100 unit using his skin is pretty god damn incredible
Flawed movie, but I loved it. The ending was great, and I liked the interaction between John and this different T-101.
This is going to get a LOT of hate- but I think it has the potential to be as good as the new Terminator movie. The trailers for Dark Fate don't inspire any confidence in me that it'll be better than mediocre. I don't think T3 had any expectations around it, while Dark Fate has very high expectations, and as a result I think both will be very comparable.
It's a parody of the Terminator films and the special effects have aged like garbage outside of a handful of moments.
I watched it on TV the other day and couldn't believe how bad the entire climax looked when the TX crashes the helicopter into the bomb shelter. The helicopter's textures were like, blurry. lol

It's the best of a bad batch of sequels. The villain is really bad but there's a rad set piece with the crane truck and a few cool/funny bits here and there. Does have the advantage of not featuring Edward Furlong.
Personally, I like it less than Terminator Genisys. My preference of the series is Terminator 2 >= Terminator 1 > Terminator Genisys > Terminator Salvation > Terminator 3
It was way too silly a turn for Skynet at that point with that tech. Oh look, mini fly thing, oh look, massive T1. It just wasn't believable that it didn't blow itself up. What is with making Terminators so robotic and daft looking instead of blending in. The jokes were so bad. Hated Conner. I guess some action scenes were okay except cars driving themselves, now that was stupid, the heavy fights were cool to a point, crotch joke aside. The end, yeah, not a bad twist but good luck fixing that ankle John!
It was a dub movie, why Skynet sent a less advanced Terminator than the T-1000???
The ending was cool.

It was fine. I think the fact that multiple subsequent equals being mediocre or bad in the case of Salvation helped it in hindsight.
It's an extremely standard movie for the majority of its run time, it really doesn't do anything all
that interesting until the last 30 minutes or so. Skippable but not the worst
I know this is not a popular opinion but honestly if it wasn't for the bad casting of Sarah and Kyle, Genisys would've been pretty good.
There's actually some lore on that. The T 1000 was so advanced with its learning capabilities that Skynet only built one of them, because if it really let loose it was afraid the T1000 would end up becoming fully autonomous, superseding Skynet and taking over.

Still better than any that followed.
Salvation was good though.
It's not a great movie, but if you disassociate the fact it's following up one of the greatest action movies ever made, it's brainless fun with some pretty good ideas randomly in there (and a lot of bad ones).
I also liked the idea that the Arnold Terminator sent back is established as 100% different than the one from T2 and was actually THE Terminator that actually killed John in the future. That's some heavy time travel headtrip stuff I love and expect.

It's a 5/10 watchable. I can watch it and enjoy It. But it's just okay. Without an incredible ending it'd be a lot worse in my scoring.
I like it.
Obviously not on par with the first two, but it's a pretty good, entertaining movie. Love the T-X.

It's a retread of T2 that is pretty entertaining, but not particularly memorable or special. Cool ending though (that was ignored by later films). That said, it's way better than the two films that followed it.
Having a female terminator was badass and the chase scene with the crane machine was pretty sweet too.
Writing killed it. Also not dark enough for a Terminator movie.

A good movie if you can accept it's nowhere near as good as 1 and 2. The elton john glasses and talk to duh hand are dogshit but I liked the performances and the ending is fucking BALLER.
Best of the sequels (lol).

This.
It is easily the best movie since 2. The franchise is complete shit now

The ending reveal is perfectly paced too - the arrival at the oddly quiet hanger, then suddenly the fight to distract you from questions, then the elevator ride that starts making you wonder WTF is happening, then the big reveal as you piece together what just happened at basically the same pace as the characters. Shame the rest of the movie doesn't hold up (good action though)
Salvation's salvation is its action set pieces, has little else going for it and the stories about Bale insisting Conner should be the focus explains a lot about the movie. I guess I did like the small world building bits.
I actually felt Genisys started off really strongly with the future intro, then went to shit when it went back to the past.
Its kind of like Batman Forever.
Its shit, but given what came after, it looks better by comparison.

It fell like parody until the ballsy ending
Basically T3 in a nutshell:
lmfao so true. 15-year-old me was not ready for that shit on my birthday
It's not as good as the first two and not as bad as the ones that came after.
If you watch it and expect a more simpler movie that's a bit lighter in tone then you probably won't be disappointed. I enjoy it but only because I keep my expectations in check.

The future intro in Genisys was strong because that was a deleted scene from T2 written by Cameron lol
The CGI endos were SO bad in Genisys at the start, looked like a video game cutscene lmao
Lol I just had to refresh my mind about the ending because everyone is raving about it here but I don't see why everyone thinks it's so good.
