My new article "12 disastrous movie sequels we wish didn’t exist to spoil series we love" is now up at Blastr.

| After watching the first two Terminator movies for the first time, my excited nephew told me, "There’s a Terminator 3." I contradicted him, "No there’s not." In response to his confusion, I explained how there are movies so disappointing that they can ruin the enjoyment of their predecessors.
Best to forget they ever existed. I then shared my pain with him. |
I listed 12 examples including Terminator 3.

| The second unfortunate sequel from 2003 and the third Schwarzenegger film on this list, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines returned to the popular series 12 years after the previous installment, sans creator James Cameron and star Linda Hamilton. This time, a female Terminator travels from the future to kill a now-adult John Connor. Because there are truly no new ideas in Hollywood, a T-101 also journeys back to save John.
Director Jonathan Mostow lacks Cameron’s vision and originality. Who’d have thunk that a beautiful, gun-toting android could be so boring? As evident further by the follow-ups Terminator: Salvation (2009) and the short-lived TV series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008-09), a non-Cameron outing only promises a dud. |
