10 Terrible Movies With One Redeeming Feature

Even though there hasn't been a good Terminator movie since 1991, Hollywood hasn't stopped making them with yet another entry in the franchise currently in pre-production, although at least James Cameron is involved in some capacity this time.

Coming twelve years after the iconic Judgement Day, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines was one of the most highly-anticipated blockbusters ever when it hit theaters in 2003, and was ultimately a let down. But the ending took some real brass balls.

Up until that point, Terminator 3 had been a serviceable if wholly unspectacular action flick that rode a wave of nostalgia and advances in CGI to deliver standard summer fare, which made the climax all the more unexpected. Usually our heroes would save the day and live happily ever after having defeated the bad guy, but director Jonathan Mostow decided to end the movie with a nuclear holocaust that wipes out most of humanity instead, definitively destroying the franchise's mantra of 'there is no fate but what we make' in the process.

Sorry John Connor, you may not want to, but you have no choice but to become the leader of the human resistance against Skynet's hostile takeover of our planet. Tough luck.
