Yeah, this is the weakest of the three. More about blowing shit up than about humanity. It also has an inconsistent time line. How could John have been 13 in 1997? Probably the most interesting character was the Terminator, himself. He and Kate are the only characters who changed.
Given the very short span of time, her change is unrealistic to me. She got over her fiancé's death way too easily. They needed her to become the kind of woman she became (will become?), but I seriously doubt that would override emotions that easily that fast. Sarah was much more emotional in the first movie. Kate showed more emotion for her father and her acceptance of his death made more sense given she could see much more clearly that Blondie wasn't a rogue robot, that everyone was getting killed and then the final scene in the bomb shelter with the defense people calling, knowing that the bomb was really going to happen. She'd definitely breakdown about her dad later. Maybe for the fiancé, but I just didn't sense that she felt that much for him. (Or is that what the early conversation with her dad was about?)
Even though the Terminator is a different one in each movie, it's interesting how his programming each time built on the last. To see his self awareness become fully actualized is what made him the most interesting character, to me. Maybe if someone had bothered to think about Asimov's 3 laws for robots, this whole fiasco could have been prevented But whether John thought about Asimov's laws or not, he seemed to learn that they were needed.
John didn't seem to change, to me. He just was able to finally do what he had been prepared all his life to do. Between T II and T III he was just waiting off the radar, as he explained in the narration. His wasn't a character change, but a situation change.
The delays are over. I'm looking forward to the new movie.

Funny that you never saw these when they came out. He's really pretty fluffy on the scale of it really being about something in my mind! LOL...I'll be back...marilyn
