    	Interesting, I thought it was more of a remake than a sequel. 
While T2 innovated, T3 did nothing new. In fact, not only did we get 
old re-heated concepts from T2 (such as the liquid metal terminator), 
but the sequence of events is almost identical to that in T2: bad 
terminator goes looking for John Connor, good terminator arrives 
shortly after and tries to find Connor first, finds him just as bad 
terminator is about to kill him, ensues a chase culminating in the the 
bad terminator cra****ng its vehicle (truck in T2, crane in T3) yet 
remaining intact.

    	And the remote-controlled cars are ridiculous. It seems that, 
even in the 21st century, people are still blissfully ignorant of what 
it is a computer can do. Hint: it CANNOT work mechanical devices 
remotely such as turning a steering wheeel and pressing down an 
accelerator! They can add numbers, but they can't do telekinesis!

    	The screenwriter(s) has obviously not bothered to keep his facts 
straight. First of all, the T-800 is not the same one as in T2, yet it 
seems to have memories of that movie (such as looking for the keys over 
the visor).

    	And remember the argument from T2? The terminator cannot shape 
itself into a complex mechanical device such as a bomb and simply blow 
up the city and John Connor with him. Yet, in T3, the terminatrix comes 
equipped with complex weapons. Then why not a thermonuclear device? The 
"screenwriter" never bothers to plug that plot hole.

    	T3 was more concerned with its big-chested terminatrix dressed in 
red vinyl, than remaining original. I was very disappointed.
