Unfolds as a thrilling piece of entertainment, but it has a third act and ending that don’t work and shouldn’t ever work.

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
If none of this seems particularly fresh, you're right. "T3" is strikingly similar to "T2" and "T," reflecting Hollywood's reluctance to tamper with a hit series.

Less about the characters than about the first two movies, whose best scenes it congeals into ritual or parody.

It puts almost everything it has into its explosive set pieces, but manages to instill the audience with just enough emotional involvement. If, Ah-nold decides to come bach again, this installment should ensure he has an audience.

Pointless and mind-numbing.
