After watching the first two Terminator<\/span> movies for the first time, my excited nephew told me, “There\u2019s a Terminator 3<\/span>.” I contradicted him, “No there\u2019s not.” In response to his confusion, I explained how there are movies so disappointing that they can ruin the enjoyment of their predecessors.<\/p>\n

Best to forget they ever existed. I then shared my pain with him.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

I listed 12 examples including Terminator 3<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The second unfortunate sequel from 2003 and the third Schwarzenegger film on this list, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines<\/span> 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.<\/p>\n

Director Jonathan Mostow lacks Cameron\u2019s vision and originality. Who\u2019d have thunk that a beautiful, gun-toting android could be so boring? As evident further by the follow-ups Terminator: Salvation<\/span> (2009) and the short-lived TV series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles<\/span> (2008-09), a non-Cameron outing only promises a dud.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n
