Termintor Salvation

I see T4 as just "more to the story". I treat it as if I'm watching an episode of the sarah connor chronicles. The only word I can use to describe it is "whatever". I am a die hard terminator fan so I would have seen it anyway. Will not buy the DVD tho

P.S. Terminator 2 is one of the best movies of all time
 
Isn't this in the wrong section?
Shouldn't it be in the "movie review" section?
 
Nobody ever reads/goes to the movies section though.

I saw T1 when it came out back in '84 and really liked it. Saw it again on DVD a couple of years ago and wasn't as keen - passing of time and all. T2 I saw in the theatre and liked. T3 I wasn't all that keen on. Havn't seen T4/T0 yet.

Film prof I talked to at a bar once a few years ago said of T1:
"The part where Arnold is looking in the mirror getting ready to go out and commit mayheim is the film's only love scene" lol.
 
I saw it last night after having read some of the reviews. I went in expecting a popcorn action flick and not much else. I rather enjoyed it for what it was.

To those that said it was crap...what would you change to make it better?

i watched it today and i don't know what some of you are on about. what are you guys expecting... the next gone with the wind? for what it is ... a summer action flick i thought it was pretty good.

It depends. Movies like T1, T2, Predator, Aliens, were filled with action but remain classics (even despite the obvious special effects limitations of T1). Not just throwaway action flicks.

You almost had me Cobster until you said that Angels and Deamons was a good film.

It was very entertaining, excellent thriller.
This new Terminator doesn't deserve to be called an "action film".

As opposed to a 5 course dinner flicks? =)

The script...


...and the cast.:cool:
 
I think people will find this a letdown.I liked it but I think I know why some people may not.In the first three movies were the first scences of the "future" not the some of the coolest of the films?

We were seeing something we'd imagined for 25 years.It couldn't possibly live up to expectations.This same theory applies to "STAR WARS" section of the clone wars.Too much hype.
 
I saw the lastest Terminator movie, and given all the bad reviews, i wasn't expecting much. It pleasantly surpised me. Action was pretty good, so if you're on the borderline on going - go see it and judge for yourself
 
The problem with the latest installment is that beyond it being set in the future during the war with the machines and an adult John Connor, I know next to nothing about the plot.

Which, to me, says the movie makers don't want us to know about the plot because either, A) there is none; or B) it sucks really bad.
 
I though it was OK. Better than T3 IMHO. It was a solid big action movie with lots of special effects and explosions. Typical summer action movie. Some parts were a little dumb but whatever.
 
Tatum Chatting or w/e the fuck his name is, horrible actor... no thanks bro. lol
I'll only check it when you see it and tell me it's "decent" :p
 
report back ryick, seems reviews are mixed. I'm going to see it tomorrow most likely, matinee. I love an empty theater.
 
Bale sucks!! I heard he wasn't even supposed to pay the little guy... but he cried like a baby and the producers had to re-write the script to include him
