|
| The chase and fight scenes in this sequel are dazzling. The filmmakers have a solid grasp of what two nearly-unbreakable cyborgs would do to each other and their surroundings in a fight. |

|
| The popcorn movie of summer '03. |

| (Jack Mathews, New York Daily News) |
|
|
| A summer behemoth that actually lives up to its potential. |
|
| |
| (Chris Hewitt, St. Paul Pioneer Press) |
|
| A smashing example of bravura filmmaking. |
|
| |
| (Timothy Knight, Reel.com) |
|
| As an action film it roars forward with agreeable, transporting energy. |
|
| |
| (Shawn Levy, Oregonian) |
|
| I was pleasantly surprised and duly impressed. Jonathan Mostow has taken good care of Cameron's baby, showing both respect and homage to the characters and trends. |

| (Ross Anthony, Hollywood Report Card) |
| |
| Unlike the first two movies, this one doesn't bear the directorial mark of James Cameron, but it still manages to deliver heart-pounding suspense and dark science-fiction vision of a world destroyed. |

|
| Terminator 3 mainly works simply because stuff blows up real good, and Arnold looks cool in black leather. |
|
| |
| (David Cornelius, Amazing Colossal Website) |
|
| The summer movie of 2003 that hard-core action fans have been awaiting. |
|
| (James Berardinelli, Reelviews) |
|
| Against all odds, a smart, rousing extension of Cameron's paranoid fantasy that not only meshes seamlessly with the past and future continuities of the earlier films, but actually advances the apocalyptic mythology. |

|
| Rise of the Machines works not just as a strong, credible sequel to one of the best sci-fi franchises but as a great popcorn movie on its own. |
|
| |
| (Louis B. Hobson, Jam! Movies) |
|
| A taut, exciting science-fiction thriller that pumps up our adrenaline without forgetting to engage our heads. |
|
| (Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune) |
|
| Some purists and major cult fans of the first two films may miss Cameron's directing style, but Machines has a much better script then the first two. |
|
| |
| (Paul Clinton, CNN) |
|
| T3 is not just a rare example of a worthy sequel to a sequel, it's a rare example of a worthy summer movie, one that does its job above and beyond the fast-food call of duty. |
|
| |
| (Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press) |
|
| For the first time this century, sci-fi fans have a sequel that won't leave them disappointed. T3 delivers! |
