New films make this one look good


After the triple crap-heap of Damnation, Syphilis, and Crap-Fate, Rise of the Machines actually managed to look like a respectable sequel to T2.

Kind of like how the Disney Star Wars movies make the prequels look good.

ummm no Dark Fate is the proper Threequel Machines is alternate Timeline

also the sequels are as much Star Wars why they are part of the Skywalker Saga are much better than the Prequels still

Crap-Fate was a giant, steaming turd on the franchise.

Dark Woke Fate can go to hell with it's transgender looking protagonist. I'm sick of movies trying to appeal to minorities (who aren't even fans of the movies) instead of the core demographic who made this franchise a success in the first place.

Expect lots more of the studio's sucking up in future- embittered SJW dikes and assorted feminazi crybabies trying to undemocratically force companies to their own selfish agendas.

I've always like this one and appreciate it more after seeing the new films.

i do kinda love the trilogy as it ends here.

in the fallout shelter. you know what? it was a dark ending.. and it makes you like this movie, even if it's a steaming pile of turd.

at least they had the balls to end it on a sour note.

reply

Yeah, I liked the ending except T2 said "There's no fate but what we make for ourselves" and then T3 was like:

NAHHHHHH

exactly.. the timeline/future/past etc. BS just came to a screeching halt.
the end

but no.. they HAD to go on and make some more didn't they?

This movie still has the best vehicle chase sequence of the series. Although I still really like the raw energy of the chase in the original Terminator.

reply

I agree.
When T3 came out, I considered it a silly crappy rehash of T2, with some ok action and a great surprise ending.
I thought "now they should make a Future Shock movie".
When I learned some time later that Mcg was directing such T4, I knew things were going downhill...

This movie came out when audiences were used to amazing event movies like the Lord of the Rings or Gladiator and after a great decade for action cinema and cinema in general aka the 90s when T2 came out...We were spoiled.This movie is decent and very underrated not the best possible sequel of course since Cameron distanced himself for some reason(creative dead end perhaps).T3 should have been made in 1995 or 1997 but Cameron had to do Titanic and the premise was T1 Arnie vs T2 Arnie (the half ass battle we got in the horrible Genesys😫 after 20 years).I never liked the idea of a female AntiTerminator terminator aka T-X but Kristanna Loken was good and she looks like Arnie's daughter and she tried her best immitating Robert Patrick in T2.I can live with the cringy humour and I think some scenes are genuinely funny(She's a healthy female of a breeding age,RELAX!T-X's inflatable Boobs at the beginning etc.) I hate the strip club scene it's terrible, a total cringefest not funny at all like a parody.Just like the talk to the hand scene they should have been cut like the Sergeant Candy scene.
The ending is epic,the action is great,the CGI still holds up.Arnie was still vibrant and in great shape... T3 is the best Sequel of the franchise. It's closer to 7.5/10 ,Salvation 7/10 ,Genesys 5/10 and Woke Fate is 4.5/10 for me...
