      Almost every film I've seen for the past five years I've thought was incredibly ****e. The stuff Hollywood pumps out makes Roger Corman seem like a god in comparison.

      Yet I've got no gripe with Terminator 3. It started decently with nude FEMALE terminator emerging from time travel sphere - swaying boobs and shapely buttocks mercifully intact. It had a decent car chase with cranes smashing into buildings and stuff - didn't look like CGI either - god forbid they perform actual real stunts in this day and age! Nick Stahl and Claire Danes had decent chemistry on screen...and Arnie was back. Say no more.

      A decent film. Crap ending, but that's the standard these days.

      What is the matter with you Polytubbies? I bet you watch unwatchable crud like Rush Hour 3, Transformers, Spiderman 3 etc and love it, yet you bag a decent film like Terminator 3.

        I'm able to justify the endings to Terminator, the Matrix, and Star Wars in my head, but I have no memories of Alien 3 that aren't crap. It wins.

        Also, despite Sith's flaws, I actually liked it very much and can watch it over and over again. That's not true with Clones, for examle - I can watch clones over and over again, but I don't like it.

          If they did... that would be a winner. Number 2 was simply terrible.

            But the first one was clearly excellent!

              Well, I skipped Star Wars 2 & 3, so I can't comment there. I'd say Matrix 3 for biggest fall from grace, but Terminator 3 for the actual worst film on that list.

                They figured they fit enough ****tiness into the sequel to get a by on making the third.

                  It sure was... at least the ending was nice

                  While sure, the movie wasn't that great, but at least they didn't have the typical "you saved the world again" ending
                  This space is empty... or is it?

                    Very difficult choice. I'm tempted to say the third Matrix was the least terrible, but picking the worst is near impossible.

                    I know I'm in the absolute minority in thinking SW 2 was better than 3, for all the reasons Elok outlined.

                      If T and A made a movie great, Showgirls would have won an Oscar. The chase scenes were so-so compared to T2's, the plot was stupid, the ending silly...Arnie was the only good thing.

                      EDIT: On further reflection, I suppose T3 would have been a forgettable but inoffensive flick if it hadn't been the sequel to the superior first two films. Alien 3 and Matrix Revolutions were utter crap purely on their own lack of merits. Bearing in mind the many problems plaguing A3's production, I've cast my vote for Matrix Revolutions. The Wachowski brothers had a huge budget and complete creative control, and they churned out that bloated, nonsensical maudlin/gorefest megaturd. The final battle between Neo and Smith looked like something out of DBZ and the Crucifixion imagery was used to beat the audience over the head.

                        No brainer. Matrix 3 was such crap it's beyond belief.

                        Although if Civ 3 was on the list I'd be tempted, even better, Moo3. That was the worst anything ever.

                            The seeds of Matrix Revolution's problems were sown in the Matrix Reloaded. Adding a LOTR-sized cast to the trilogy was a mistake.

                            For example, they bumped Morpheus down to a secondary character, but gave him a love interest and a love rival, gobbling up the screen time.

                              I would have given them a pass on that if they had gobbled up more screen time with a Naomi sex/nude scene

                                Star Wars III gets my vote. I laughed my way through it. It was absolutely terrible. So were I and II, though.

                                VI beats the **** out of any of the new ones, Imran. It had its faults, to be sure, but it was still miles and miles better. Why? Simple: the characters were better. So even if the plot was meh and the Ewoks lived on Endor, I'd rather watch Jedi than any of I, II or III, and it's not close.
