Hmmmm... I'm same/same between Matrix 2 and X-Men 2. I think they will both be stunning. I'm definitely excited about T3, but I just don't have the high hopes for it that I do for the other 2. I think they're really going to have to stretch the story line to make it work and I'm not quite sure I believe they can do it.

Personally I have very low expectations for T3, I don't think I'll even bother going to see it in the Cinema.
This attitude is largely down to the absence of Cameron, Furlong and Hamilton (from what I've heard anyway).
That and a female Terminator made entirely out of energy... [Roll Eyes]

The Matrix sequels and X2 on the other hand... [Big Grin]

Yes... I noticed the lack of Linda Hamilton and James Cameron as director... that kind of sent me into low expectation mode. She's made of pure energy? See... that's not right.

Tell me this... if SkyNet was supposedly destroyed in the first movie... and the good guys have been successful in all these movies... how do the machines in the future keep making badder ass terminators? And why don't they keep sending them back to the time period of the first movie to keep trying to kill helpless, wussy Sarah Conner?

Sorry, forgot it was still trendy to not like popular franchises from more then 5 years ago.

I couldn't give a monkey's poking stick how trendy it is or is not. The fact is that some franchises are fine as they are and in the wrong hands, any further instalments can only serve to diminish what has already been done.
Now in the case of the Terminator movies I just don't think that anyone besides James Cameron can do a third instalment justice, what is more likely is that T3 will be a soulless, self-referential action fest with eye popping effects and a plot about as thick as your average amoeba.
I'm not saying it shouldn't have been made since I'm sure that it will do fine at the box office and the kids will love it, what I am saying is that I'd be very surprised if this turns out to be anything other than a re-tooled knockoff of the first two movies.

*Arnold, looking down busted elevator shaft* "She'll be baak..."

They even use Arnold's clich�s for laughs in the trailer already, they've shown a bit of their angle.

Just like "Predator II", domesticating one of the most terrible, frightening and well-respected monsters of all cinema.

First movie, takes one look at 250 pound indian merc holding machete, next scene, cleaning hair and flesh off skull from said indian.
Tag line: "There's something out there waiting for us, and it ain't no man."

Movie two, gets slapped around by L.A cop in a dark slaughter house (that he supposedly claimed as base of ops already), then flees from apartment containing old woman watching Jeopardy.
Tag line: "Yeah, fuck you too, pussy face! (ref. to shape of Assailant's oral cavity)"

"Alien"? Gave me nightmares.
"Alien Resurrection"? Tear down all they've built up over the years, replacing it with a ten foot moaning baby.

Next alien movie, I swear they will get the aliens to ally themselves with humans because Species 8472 is coming and they're not bringing flowers.

We should consider ourselves lucky, they almost made an Alien vs. Predator movie!
I've read the script and it really makes you appreciate Alien Resurrection.

They don't. All those terminators were sent from a single point in the future to different points in the past. Skynet sends three (or however many movies they make) terminators back just before it's shut down. Not that that makes any temporal sense, of course, but no movie does.

Proof positive that Omega isn't really a Trekkie, if he knows the meaning of the words "temporal sense." 8)
