Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (T3)

"'Terminator 3' is essentially a B movie, content to be loud, dumb and obvious (...) [Schwarzenegger] acts (if you can call it that) with his usual leaden whimsy" 

"It's a potent popcorn movie (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"Is 'Terminator 3' a skillful piece of work? Indeed. Will it entertain the Friday night action crowd? You bet. Does it tease and intrigue us like the earlier films did? Not really (...) [It] is dumbed down for the multiplex hordes (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" 

"[It] falls short in many of the areas where Cameron's excelled (...) Short on thrills, but surprisingly long on laughs and surprises" 

"It's less about the characters than about the first two movies (...) Its most extravagant spectacle (...) is no match for Schwarzenegger's monotone line readings" 

"A sleek, satisfying return to the series’ supercharged B-picture roots (...) A great way to kill (for) two hours (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Jonathan Mostow does an honest job with all this - but it lacks James Cameron's zip (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
