Rater #2 has description and review.
Rater #1
8/10. This was one of those movies that wasn't required, was a good movie all around, and one that a bad ending. In general, T3 was an awesome movie. The sound effects, and the visual effects were great. The only bad thing about this entire movie was the ending because you would think that they would have successfully defeated the machines. This movie will set up a 4th one. All in all, it's a good movie to watch, but an unneeded one at that.

7/10. Now THIS is what summer movies are all about! Instead of having PG-13
action, it goes all out with its $170 million budget and having some
realistic blood, while keeping it reasonable and believable. It's
basically 105 minutes of wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am with a small story
thrown in, but it's basically a recycled plot with a new character, a
newer robot, and great special effects! Although they went all out�
and I mean all out�it looked really good! It's not some cheesy
Universal blockbuster that just throws bad FX wherever, the ones in
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines looked real, and I only hope that
Arnold's stuntperson was paid well.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is back in kick-butt form as the T-800
Terminator. Not only does he rehash his catch phrases, he is able to
bring back the fun in action movies that has been missing the last
twelve years. It's a really fun time. As I've said before, Arnold's
not a great actor, but when he's an action star instead of trying to
act, he's really fun to watch. He seemed really game to do this movie.
The plot is nothing special. Arnold comes back from the future to
protect not only John Connor (Nick Stahl) this time, but also feisty
Kate Brewster (Claire Danes), because she'll be a general against the
machines in the upcoming war. However, a T-X (Kristanna Loken), the
most advanced Terminator cyborg from the future, comes to destroy all
of the former classmates of John, because they'll join the
resistance. As you can see, the plot's not as good as the first two.
If you put your mind on hold, which I was willing to do for this, T3
is a very entertaining sequel. Although it won't win awards, it's
better than most out there now.
Rated R for strong sci-fi violence and action, and for language and brief nudity.
Running time: 105 minutes
