Who's here after seeing Dark Fate?

Well.... Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines is quite a decent Terminator movie... but it not a pretty good sequel to the first two movies, well, it's quite decent at best.

Terminator 3 does however have some good moments from here, and there, and some of them are embarrassing, and making most of the fans uncomfortable, such as "Talk to the hand!" scene at the strip club, and as well at the gas store. But thankfully however, T-X is a amazing, female Terminator is quite a amazing, that she did try to make Skynet know about Judgement Day before she successfully did, also, Kristanna Loken's performance as T-X is praised by the fans. T-850 starts off a goofy, Terminator that acting silly, and campy, making those fans very questionable to him, but however that Arnold Schwarzenegger still did a good job performance at T-850, and he is still as effective as his best-known character, despite it's goofy behavior.

The most wonderful scene in Terminator 3 is the ending, the ending scene where John Conner and Kate Conner finds out that Crystal Peak was a fallout shelter for VIP's, and Kate tells John that they decided to let it go, and the film ends with Judgement Day started with the narrator, is admittedly pretty depressing, but it's actually good.

I love this ending so much, making those fans agree that where the Terminator franchise ended with the 3, and almost many of the Terminator fans unanimously agreed this to be the best (or the least bad) of the post-T2 Terminator films.

So, Terminator 3 feels like a decent ending to the franchise, but not in a good way, at least, it's the decent way to end the franchise before the franchise goes downhill.

And yes, for me, Terminator 3 is sadly the last good Terminator movie before it goes downhill, and Terminator 3 got another T3 Is Dark Fate, which it supposed to be a directed T3 movie to T2.

For me, Terminator 3 is the real sequel to the second film, and Terminator 3 came to a perfect closed.

I'm pretty favorable toward the third one, not as acclaimed as the first two Terminator movies, at best.
