Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)

There's a very real possibility that the third film in the series got green lit simply to enable the producers to create a sexy female Terminator that they called the Terminatrix. I fear someone got paid a sizeable bag of money to come up with that. As a film, it fails. Using Arnie as the butt of some immature visual gags was the least of its problems. The acting was bad. The story was flat-out boring, except for the final twist. It out-shits even Alien 4 for being unnecessary and unwarranted. They even screwed up the sexy. The Terminatrix (sorry to use it twice) lacks any kind of allure, even while jaywalking with her ass out. Bad. Bad. Bad.

A 2 from me.

Don't remember much of it even though I've seen it 3 times. :laugh:

I remember enjoying the truck chase quite a bit.
