Isn't T4 going to be all about the future war?

Yep...T3's finale (which is my favourite scene in the entire series) pretty much makes that clear.

I liked T3 when I first saw it at the theatre, and after watching it again a couple months ago I still like it. I've never really thought of T2 as a sacred cow or a perfect movie, and certainly don't care much about the storyline being inconsistent considering how ****ed up it is in the first two movies (made worse by T2...it really is a mess when you think about it). The very concept of time travel is impossible anyway, so I never get too worked up over the details (otherwise I'd hate the BTTF series). I just thought T3 was a fun ride, and a terrific setup to the movie I've always wanted to see...Terminator: Future War. Arnie's presence in such a movie isn't gonna be needed for more than the cameos, so that isn't an issue for me either.

All that said, even I'd admit that in a way, T3 was largely unneccessary (hell I remember hating everything about it when it was first announced). I think they could've just made a future war movie straight up, without the lead in...set it up as a possible alternate future with no clear answer (like Total Recall's ending), or simply made it based on what Connor went through to get from the nuclear holocaust to sending the Terminators back. But having said that, the last ten minutes of T3 justify it's existance...it really was one of the coolest endings I've ever seen. And T3 is one of the few genuine, 80's style action flicks I've seen in a while, so I appreciated it from that standpoint.
 
my complaint with T3 is that it really didnt explore john connor. it was really cool to see how sarah's personality changed from the first to second films and it should've had the same effect to see how a 20-something john turned out. but with the third film you kind of have a vague john connor. it kind of seems like the guy ended up to be a burn out or a coward or whatever but never really went deeper with it. seems like something they could've expanded on
 
I've always dreamt of a T3 where you see John Connor and a troop of resistance fighters bust through the wall of a machine labour camp, Connor standing over Kyle Reese (who is being hunted for trying to escape) and offering his hand. 'Come with me if you want to live'.

I'm not sexist, or at least I don't consider myself to be. But the fact that the terminator/villian in T3 was female just didn't flow well with me imo. Don't get me wrong, Kristina Loken was hot and and I'd hit it any day of the week.

I think that may have been the problem. Generally speaking, you shouldn't want to bang the person trying to kill you. :/

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
T3 was such a forgettable piece of shit. I actually cannot even remember one scene from it, though I can remember it sucking.

That's what makes her hotter. :lol It's like the chick Famke Janssen played in Goldeneye, or the numerous hotties in 24. Or even Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct.
