I decided originally that I had doubts as to why they actually made a third Terminator, but I must declare that I really regret waiting until this film came out on DVD prior to watching it. I definitely enjoyed watching Terminator 3. Though, it was obvious that this movie was inevitably derivative of the former two Terminator movies. I really found Terminator 3 almost good as Terminator 2 and much better than the original Terminator and I really liked its ending. I am literally a huge fan of Terminator series. The extraordinary effects were first-class, but then you shouldn't anticipate less from the development to T2, which is a true landmark in CGI. Arnold was excellent as he constantly is in all the Terminator movies. T3 is one of the few sequels whom I actually liked much better than previous movies it followed. The movie furthermore raised questions about destiny and explored the resources by which robots were to ultimately invade the world. I was very amazed that the 3rd Terminator was made after 12 years and surpassed the past series. I would definitely give Terminator3 a full 9/10. The core thing is that this movie keeps you really entertained throughout and I believe that's the most essential thing.
