After getting all three of the Terminator movies on DVD recently, I do wonder: What does the future hold for the franchise?
Personally I thought the third one, compared with the other two, sucked. Sure, it was fun to watch because of all the well-done CGI and fighting scenes, but it lacked the depth the first two had (amoung other things). It just didn't seem "dark" enough. I did find a rather interesting review about it.
http://www.goingfaster.com/term2029/t3review.htmlI wished that Terminator 3 would have taken place in the future, but instead the writers merely recycled the plot from the second one. Think about it, from 1997-2029, Skynet was trying to destroy humanity. It spent 32 YEARS doing it! With such a long war, surely there must have been many stories to tell about the war. If they started the movie during the war, they could have at least tried to come up with a half-assed explanation for why Judgement Day happened.
So another question, is Hollywood really this creatively bankrupt?
I want T3 re-written and re-made. Show us the darkness that is the future, don't just keep recycling the same thing over and over again.
