T3 reviews coming in

[Mythtify]

I enjoyed it more than I thought I was going to. The only weekness was , for me, Nick Stahl. His preformance was not summer blockbuster stuff. This may be to lack of materail or bad direction.
I was impressed with the ending. Though I also fell that it felt very much like an opening for T4.
Ejoyed it much more than Mtrix:reloade, but I had very low expectations for T3.

I just got back from seeing it, and liked it a lot. I felt it was right there in line with the other two movies. A very consistent plotline (particularly for a time-travel based movie). It's hard to keep the timeline stable when every movie is based on the concept of trying to screw with important events in the timestream...but they manage it very well. No serious paradoxes pop up, just some minor tweaking here and there. Impressive.

Why? T2 had more one-liners and comedic gags than T3.

I didn't think so at all.

alzrius...
have you seen T2 lately?
it definitely had comedy
of course like i said in my post. T3 all but help up an APPLAUSE card after every joke whereas T2 tried to keep the comedy looking unintentional.

I have. Have you?

it definitely had comedy

I'm not saying it didn't have the occasional joke, or a scene that could possibly be construed as humorous, but there's no way it comes close to T3 in terms of the jokes/humor shown.

Count me down for wanting to see a Terminator 4.

The thing I like about Terminator 3 is that it leaves open the possibility for at least one more Terminator movie.

"Chill out dickwad"
"No problemo"
"Hasta la vista baby"
"Uncle Bob?"
"I need a vacation"
"Stand on one foot"
"I swear I will not kill anyone"
"He'll live"
riff from Bad to the Bone
"Cool my own Terminator"
"Its definitely you"
"Trust me"
"Let me try mine"
"Ha ha too slow"
Arnold picking up the baby
T-1000 wagging his finger at Sarah
Female guard breaking Arnold's sunglasses
Dr. Silberman watching the T-1000 go through the bars

And that's just off the top of my head.

"Stand on one foot"

Of all of those you listed, this is the only one I feel was actually a humorous scene, and only because he's still doing it when those two jocks come over to check on John Connor and he has to say "put your foot down".

The rest of those just weren't really meant to be, and didn't come off as, funny. Some of them, like the T-1000 wagging his finger at Sarah, were actually starkly eerie, since you know that then he's going to inflict severe pain on her then.

I'd guess that only a fraction of the scenes you listed were actually meant to be humorous, and came across as that.

You'd guess wrong. They were all written to be intentionally humorous, and its so obvious I can't believe you'd dispute it.

Nope. I'd guess right.

No, they weren't. It's pretty obvious they weren't meant to be comedy scenes, since nobody I know beyond you has ever proposed that. Comedy in movies tends to make itself obvious, particularly in action-thrillers, where subtle humor is out of place. You may personally find those amusing, but that doesn't mean they were meant to be that way in the film.
