Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines

Mario Kassar presents a Hal Lieberman production

Directed by: Jonathan Mostow

Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger Nick Stahl Kristanna Loken Claire Danes

Rating:*****

Plot: Its been like twelve years since Judgment day was suppose to happen but somehow the machines have sent back an even stronger killing machine... The TX sent in the form of a woman(I guess so guys would stare at her long enough for her to kill them). In response Arnold is sent back as well to defend John Conor from being killed which would end up ending the resistance in the future. Let the battle begin.

Acting: This is going to be a short section because I am in love with this movie. Arnold simply is back! He kicks ass again in this movie no questions asked it this is done. Now for the rest of the cast. Nick Stahl did a great job as John he had this thing about him where you knew he knew he had no life. That he lives in fear constantly that last time they failed and the robots would attack. He was very good. Claire Danes who I am so happy is back at work is in this movie as John's future wife. I only remember her from stupid movies like Broke Down Palace and the movie the Mod Squad... Maybe that is why she has not been around haha... Anyway she is very good and I cheered for her when she starts going into action. Now for the woman everyone is talking about Kristanna Loken is amazing I can't say she is a bad ass like Arnold or the guy who played T-1000 in T2 but she stands her own as a villian. I love the fact that her character has so much cool shit she can do like make her arms into a rocket launcher. I also enjoyed that they played with that fact that she is a woman and men would stop and give her a look down, but oops they end up dead. Great cast altogether.

Directing/Writing: I was more hyped about this movie then any movie coming out this year, even more than Matrix Reloaded which I made too many harsh comments on which I take back now. Since Arnold is the only man who stayed on this project and everyone from the first two dropped out I got really scared. But Mostow is the man, he basically got to do what he wanted to do and he took this franchise to the next level. I mean everything is in this movie. The surprises that come along are very good and the ending blew me the fuck away!!! I didn't know anyone in Hollywood had the balls to make a movie like this anymore. I hope this teaches Hollywood a lesson to make more bad ass movies like this in the future. I also really enjoyed the mix of comedy in this movie. Not only that the action is so good I almost cried. There is a car chase that is so long and well done it blows away the car chase in Matrix Reloaded and The Italian Job.

Overall: I am seeing this again for sure. This is simply the greatest movie of the summer and it will be on my top ten list of the year. I seriously hope they make a 4th one of these. Oh my god I think I am going to go see it right now. I'll be back...
