I hesitate to say T3 is waaay underrated but given the awful takes in this thread it certainly seems that way. Fun movie with good practical effects that's aged well compared to later efforts in the series and the action genre. Pretending that T2 is
much more than that (though undoubtedly a better film with better execution)... I don't know what to tell you, try to keep an open mind to new experiences maybe?
T1 - Tech Noir, great scene. Ice cream in pocket. Poor Paxton. Police station. Great stuff, manages to keep the "blue mood" and stays focused. Great movie.
T2 - Minigun. Milk carton. Sarah beating ass with a baton. Motorcycle bar and chase. Fun movie.
T3 - Crane scene. Bar scene is fun, who cares. Ending. Cemetary. Actors meh but alright. Fun to see the prototypes for hunter killers and such.
Honestly love the gas station scene in T3
The way Arnold just aggressively slams all the food into the basket is hilarious. And 'talk to the hand'.
Honestly the only irredeemable bit is the FUNKY FUNKY THAT FUNKY MAN
