- 78Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovAustin ChronicleMarc SavlovReality has overtaken the movies here, which, I suppose, makes T3 all the more cathartically appealing. At least onscreen we have Arnold Schwarzenegger in our corner.
- 75PremiereKelly BorgesonPremiereKelly BorgesonIt 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.
- 75Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanCharlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanThough this film doesn't have the novelty value of the first or the complex plotting of the second, it boasts the most spectacular single sequence.
- 60Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesChicago ReaderJ.R. JonesLess about the characters than about the first two movies, whose best scenes it congeals into ritual or parody.
- 50Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittChristian Science MonitorDavid SterrittIf 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.
- 50SlateDavid EdelsteinSlateDavid EdelsteinThe villain comes back more times than Wile E. Coyote. I found it tiresome and witless and numbingly repetitive, but action mavens won't feel cheated.
- 50San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleSan Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleHas its moments, and Schwarzenegger is as buff and tough as ever. But there's a flat feeling about this effort that's unmistakable and inescapable.
- 50Film ThreatDavid GroveFilm ThreatDavid GroveUnfolds as a thrilling piece of entertainment, but it has a third act and ending that don’t work and shouldn’t ever work.
- 40Washington PostMichael O'SullivanWashington PostMichael O'SullivanWastes no time getting very loud and very silly and never really lets up.
- 25New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickPointless and mind-numbing.
