Instead of a Poll, I think that I will just make this a Simple Question. Did you Like Kristanna Loken's Performance as the Evil Female Terminator in " TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES" ? ------------------------------- I Most Definitely Did! What about everybody else here ?

I liked her alright. She seemed a bit of a copy-and-paste female rendition of the T-1000, but I enjoyed her enough as a killer robot chick. Hell she might be the most powerful in the series.

Is it right to call the Terminator evil? Even in the 1984 film, it's not like the T-800 had any moral understanding of what he was doing. It was just his programming.

Well that is just how I myself see it. I mean everybody else (including yourself) can most definitely see and describe them however they would like to see and describe them.

She looks good although isn't all that scary. I want my female Terminators to put fear in my heart and not hardness in my pants.

She was ok. Her performance shifts between robot and wicked Barbie.

She was fine in the role, but they kind of made her into a punchline right off the bat and I never really felt threatened by her in the same way as I did by watching Robert Patrick in the original.

Not really. She was basically just another T-1000, albeit a little easier on the eye than Robert Patrick. Like so much else about that movie, she was a rehash of what went before.

I agree. Inflatable jugs and orgasms at the taste of blood don't make for an intimidating antagonist. --- Imagine the MRA bitchfits if this movie came out today. "Ugh, the bad Terminator is a woman. Forced diversity!!1"

I'm actually in the crowd that thought "T-3" was all-in-all pretty good. Nowhere in the league of the first two, but it gets a little too much hate in my opinion.
Loken was pretty good most of the time. She did well with the un-moving gaze, voice wasn't bad but she had a snarky inflection sometimes...which made her seem like an sociopathic human woman rather than an asexual robot. This, like has been mentioned above, was a detriment to her character. The boob joke was funny, but it took me out of the movie a bit. As did her glancing at herself in the mirror and that weird O-face when she tasted John's blood.
To be fair, I think they wrote her that way. They did a similar thing with Arnold once in a while here (adding his gender to his character) The wide eyes at the gay strip club was strange. I could see him gradually acting more and more human as he learned (and he was designed to blend in with humans). The comedic beats in T-2 were great, but Arnold always seemed more robotic than human...hence the jokes working. As the series has gone on, Arnold has also been way more of a human man verses a genderless robot. This is the biggest problem I've had with the series as it progresses. Not a deal breaker for me, but changes the tone for sure.
The concept of the T-X was cool to me, a reasonable threat when Skynet would have figured out humans were reprogramming terminators. The 'anti-terminator terminator' was a good angle to take it in I thought. Wish they wouldn't have revealed her coolest tech so quickly. Kind of slowed down the movie. That arm cannon should have been revealed way further in the running time. Similar to how we gradually learned the T-1000's abilities rather than see them all up front.
She was good though. Her action scenes were pretty impressive. That's more or less my take on the movie as a whole (except for the epilogue and the Dr. Silberman cameo, which was just perfect).

Yes and the movie is underrated to as it's my 2nd favorite Terminator movie behind the first one. I gave it a 8/10 which makes it within my Top 52 movies.

Yes & to be honest since it would fit right in with today's Hollywood, I'm surprised it doesn't get mentioned more often in the mainstream.
