T3 Thread

Agree\'d a hundred percent. To me it seemed as though they took the Terminator character and said, "Hey - here\'s a character who can spout one liners off in no time..lets make him do it ALL THE TIME"... And at points, you could tell that the director and writers was struggling to find a one liner that was as cool as "Asta La Vista Baby" or "I\'ll be Back", yet they never succeeded.  

I point to T2, where there was comedy elements with John Conner and the Terminator\'s conversations. They was just natrual conversations with subtle humor.. In this one, it was more, one joke after the next, thus negeating any sense of danger the film was trying to portray.



[spoiler]
Did we need to see Arnold in a female strip club? Did we need a breast enlargement scene? Did we need a "talk to the hand"? The list goes on and on.[/spoiler]

LIC- those and the sunglasses are the only "comedic" parts of the movie.  Please point out others if you can think of any.

Every director is different.. this one just liked to throw in a tad more humor in an otherwise depressing storyline (and if you haven\'t seen it yet it *does* get depressing).  If you left the story as is with NO comedy elements then we\'re left with a saddening movie, especially in the end.

You just have to take this movie for what it is...  if you\'re looking for awesome acting and boring run-of-the-mill robots look elsewhere.

The scene where she increased her breast size.
The entire scene in and outside of the strip club (in the middile of the desert no less)

"I\'ll drive"
"Relax"
"Talk to the hand"
"We need a new vehicle"
"She\'ll be back"

I mean, that\'s lots of comedy right there.  Every moment is when someone(s) in the audience laughed.  I know I laughed at all those moments.

The point that I\'m trying to make is that the movie should have been a lot more serious and it was directed as such, but a LOT of it was edited.  I mean, just look at one scene in particular -- the top secret military installation.  The TX had to disguise herself as an officer serving there, but the Terminator, John, and the General\'s little girl just walk into the top secret area where they are developing all the governments latest little toys?  Please.  1hr 45 minutes was probably 2hr and 15 easily and it\'s dissapointing that it wasn\'t to begin with.

"Relax"
I\'ll drive"
"We need a new vehicle"
"She\'ll be back"

IMO weren\'t funny parts of the movie, I really didn\'t see the humor directed in those parts, more just dialogue.

Oh come on. Everyone laughed when those parts came about. It was the execution. They was *suppose* to be funny.

"I\'ll Drive".... Think of the situation and what happened. It was suppose to be "dark comedy".

"She\'ll be back"..It was suppose to be a comedy moment as it threw back to T2.

"We need a new vechicle."..Once again, think about the situation and the way Arnold delivered the line.

Yeah it could have easily been something along the lines of t2. I was thinking maybe that the T-101 would be programed like John\'s previous t-101 by john too. Well the comedey we could have done without but what is done is done.

they weren\'t funny haha to me, sorry.

well my little brither who is in kwait got to meet his favorite
actor arnold schwarzenegger and of got to see terminator 3

 sorry

:rolleyes:

I thought the whole thing was great..
What did T2 have that T3 didnt??? I thought it was just as good as T2.  If nothing more, I got what I expected.  I think your standards are way too high if you thought T3  was worse then T2.

Just saw this one last night.

I was actually pleasently surprised. I thought it would suck the big one, but it felt quite like T2. Thumbs up. It was too short though as mentioned above.

About the comedy - I think it was ok. I loved the first "talk to the hand" joke where Arnold literally talks to the stripper\'s hand. The next one was silly though. But about what Ryu said was funny moments:

"I\'ll drive" - didn\'t really see this as funny.
"Relax" - can\'t really remember, don\'t think it was funny
"Talk to the hand" - yeah, supposed to be funny
"We need a new vehicle" - ditto
"She\'ll be back" - didn\'t see this as funny either, just a (corny) reference

All in all I think T3 was quite enjoyable. I hope there\'ll be an extended director\'s cut on DVD though.

the suckiest part about T3 is that its so blatantly obvious that they want your money. "It has only begun" my ass. I know the next move will have huge, super kewl battles, but god damn ... these corporate money grabbers.

I was kinda busy the weekend this came out, so I forgot to post in this thread.

Overall, I was very satisfied with T3, and I was totally and completely expecting it to suck hard.  It did not, and I liked it.  With that said, I do have a few criticisms:  

The TX (Kristanna Loken) was not scary enough.  Yeah, she kills with no remorse, etc. but she\'s not nearly as scary as the T-1000 (Robert Patrick) from T2.  She walks slower than he did, she seems reluctant to run after people, she takes longer to reassemble herself after having a building dropped on her, she breaks down (????), and she dies more easily than T-1000 did.  Why did Skynet sent this piece of crap back for such an important mission?  The way T-1000 used all manner of blade weapons to pierce and impale people just made him WAY WAY more scary in my book.  All this makes T3 a bit less thrilling than T2.

I\'m not against the small doses of humor that are present in this film.  I know some of you hated it, but I don\'t care.  I didn\'t mind it because I never really took any of it seriously to begin with.  The non-happy ending pleased me even more, since I wasn\'t expecting it.  Anyway, regarding the humor, the only thing I disliked was the way they depended so heavily on one-liners from the previous films, instead of developing new material themselves.  I noticed several scenes that would have been perfect for new interesting dialog, but they were ignored.  Instead they fell back on the same old "I\'ll be back" and "Asta la vista, baby..."  I guess I should have expected that.

Where did Claire Danes learn to fire an AK-47?  Did her daddy the Air Force Colonel take her out to the firing range when she was a little girl?  Did she take breaks from her job as a veterenarian to train on soviet block weapons out in the desert?  Ehhh ... ok.  

The warbots that the TX activates with her nanites in the military base near the end of the film were REALLY stupid looking.  I found it hard to take them seriously.  They should have hired the guy who designed the warbots from the Robocop movies instead.  Now those were scary.  Even ED-209 would have been scarier than these stupid chrome plated disasters.

I thought it was a good movie. The comedy in the movie didn\'t take away from the experience IMO..

"We need a new vehicle" was absolutely hilarious.
