Terminator3 haters. Why do you hate it, aside from the perceived continuity problems?
I found it to be an entirely serviceable sequel.

1. I enjoyed it.
I liked the beginning with Arnold in the male strip show talking to the hand, and I liked the big chase smash-up with the crane.

Do I have the right film or did I just dream it?

2. You may have dreamed it, but it's also in the film
At the time of release, the chase scene was criticized for being too long, but I didn't think so at all. Given the spectacular chase in T2, we were expecting something similarly larger-than-life.

Overall I don't think that the film was as good as T2, but it certainly wasn't much worse.

7. I have no expectations from any of the governator films.
I liked T-2 because we used to bike along the concrete sides of Ballona Creek in LA, and there was Arnold screaming down the riverbed (only in the movie, of course.)

Local stuff.

6. I'm going to go watch it right now, just to prove that I can
Here's a rule of thumb: any science fiction film made after 1980 in which the male protagonist is named Johnny will probably suck regardless of the quality of the source material:

Johnny Mnemonic
Ghost Rider
Battlefield Earth
Starship Troopers


Others?

8. Hey now, don't be too harsh.
Johnny Mnemonic and Starship Troopers both had that one hot chick in it. That makes it somewhat watchable. :P

15. She was in Nemesis, not Insurrection.
And that one was more like SUCK Trek: Nemesis. :P

19. She was also Barbara Gordon in the short-lived Birds of Prey series.
That one had potential, too bad they cut it off before it had a chance to get an audience.

Way to advertise, WB!

22. Exactly.

I didn't manage to catch a single episode when it was on because they had it on at obscure times. Pretty much the same thing FOX did with Firefly.

9. I expected it to suck, so I was able to enjoy the mindless action and whatnot just fine.

23. I killed SpongeBob because of my long-running hatred of coelenterates
And I enjoyed every porous minute of his death.

26. Every Crabby Patty-loving judge and jury in this country will make you
sponge bathe the elderly as penance. Don't forget below the equator...
