Franchises have long played a central rolein the film industry.

Butnot every neglected sequel is bad.

But, while it’s a weaker film than its predecessors,Terminator 3is still an absolute blastto watch.

Despite this,it’s still a solid comedy thatdeserves more positive attentionthan it typically gets.

The Terminator protects John Connor, and Kate Brewster in ‘Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines’.

Ghostbusters II’s biggest flaw is that it is largely a retread of the first film.
