Here's the story: John Connor is now in his 20's and is living in fear of Judgment Day, and to make things worse, Skynet sends a new Terminator, the T-X, back to his time, when he couldn't be located, so a new T-850 Model 101 comes to protect him and a woman who'll be his wife in the future so they can stop Judgment Day, which turns out to be inevitable.
T3 was so bad it couldn't even live up to a bad episode of The Big Bang Theory. If you were going to make Terminator 3, then you NEEDED to live up to them. Everything was fantastic, especially the action, effects, and performances.
We also had a new villain found in the T-1000, a superior Terminator who went on to become one of the most famous villains in film history. The plot is basically the same, except Arnold Schwarzenegger became the good guy this time around in a stroke of absolute genius. Seven years later, Terminator 2: Judgment Day came along and it was even better. It's one of the best films ever known to man for very good reason. Everything about the film was just great, from the acting, the script, the action, the suspense, the climax, and the concept among others. In 1984, filmmaker James Cameron gave us a classic, The Terminator, a dark and gritty sci-fi action thriller with some occasional surprising elements of horror here and there.
Not only did this movie destroy what The Terminator and Terminator 2 stood for as two of the greatest sci-fi and action films of all time, but it also had the nerve, it had the gall, it had the AUDACITY to make fun of them. This movie has weak action, a dumb-ass story, uninteresting characters, a lame script, and for the first time in action film history, Schwarzenegger making me cringe. Now here comes the moment you've all been waiting for: my epic rant on Terminator 3, the film many fans believe is superior to Salvation.
