The only good part of this movie is Arnold’s cameo, and Helena Bonham Carter was great as well, but overall everything about this movie is pretty bad. Sam Worthington blew Christain Bale out of the water acting-wise though.

I watched this yesterday and am furious (okay, maybe disappointed) about this film. What a crock. I’m sorry, I’ve read a few of the previous posts and I don’t want to go over any previous ground but:
If I was a state-of-the-art self-replicating self-improving world-wide sentient computer system tasked with the job of removing my biggest threat (man), then I wouldn’t be building several-story high metal robots with claws to knock down buildings… Unless, of course, I figured my genocidal mayhem might play well to any of my surviving targets who had taken time out to watch a recent ‘Giant Robot’ blockbuster.

And: all the other stuff that has been said; I’d either agree or disagree – whatever you said.

Terminator Salvation is a very good movie. It is obvious that terminator can be stand-alone movie, without Schwarzenegger. The action scenes are awesome.

I liked T1 better than T2.

In order to solve this problem, they’ll have to abandon salvation and work on a revamped T4. Forget Bale, put in Edward from T2 or something. Need LOTR style wars with thousands of terminators and humans battling out vientam style. Waddaya think??

I don’t understand why everyone bags out Alien 3. It is easily my second favourite (behind Scott’s Alien) and has the gritty, hopelessness feel to it. The prisoners, especially Morse, offer humourous instances.
I’m sick of Cameron bagging out David Fincher when Aliens was plain and boring and full of all this marine macho stuff.
As for Salvation, they could have done worse BUT they could have done a lot better. It seems unlikely that Bale will by dropped for someone who looks like Connor in T2. And the Arnie cameo was terrible. There were no large scale battles or any insight like Hamilton would provide through voice-over. It was just a stupid hollywood cash cow.

I could’nt agree more. I felt that all I have heard over all the Terminator films was how bad ass John would become. The film does a good job of showing how bad ass he is but the film didn’t follow in his footsteps. There are far too many plots that are not explained or inhanced on. I give it a three in a half out of five.

Sarah is NOT gonna kill Dyson when she’s looking at him, face to face* My bad.

Great rant. You hit it on the nose.

It’s sad. Some critics still can’t understand that T2 had a heart… although, different from The Terminator… it’s there. The Terminator and T2 are separate films. Things have changed so much in 10 years (Sarah Connor especially) that the sequel is gonna feel differently. And Sarah’s transformation in T2 is VERY logical. Linda gives one of the most dynamic performances as a female hero in film history if you ask me. She doesn’t shoot Dyson when she has the best, easiest shot in the world (through the scope of her sniper rifle)… so you should know, she’s gonna kill him when she has to face him. It’s a brilliiant piece of drama if you ask me. I mean, look at the look on her face. She has the weight of the world on her shoulders, but her conscience is winning out in that one moment.

T2 and Aliens are brilliant continuations of the original films… especially in the character development department.

But, T3, Alien 3, Terminator Salvation… the filmmakers behind these crap films just don’t understand what made the originals (Alien, Aliens, The Terminator, and T2) so damn great. And even those complaining critics will never see the strengths of Cameron’s sequels. They know so much about film right? lol

@tasouli

I’ll also have to disagree, T3 didn’t lack action, in fact it was too much. The action was completely unbelievable, like the super extended pointless chase scene that was only inserted to take up time. T800’s “power pack” EXPLODING from any little damage (wouldn’t that be a huge vulnerability???) even though in T2 his power source was completely ruptured by the MASSIVELY SUPERIOR T1000 (over the TX13, I threw in the 13 to further the coolness…) yet it didn’t explode at all, and even going into the molten metal, that would have ruptured his secondary power source, and that didn’t explode either…

I admit, Bale was miscast as Connor in Salvataion, but come on, the guy they picked to play John Connor in T3 was the weakest, lamest, loser I’ve EVER seen, and he was supposed to save humanity?? In that case, WE’RE DOOMED! Not to mention the acting was just horrible…

Anyway, just had to ditto on what Katt Keith and John had to say…

@Matt Keith,,,
“The future is not set, there is no fate, but what we make for ourselves”,
I think Connor told Reese that to inspire Sarah, not as a template for the franchise to run on. T3, didn’t piss on that as the future Skynet still wants Connor dead because is sees Connor as a future threat. How the war starts is irrelivent and hardly ruined T3 for me. If anything I was impressed Mostow had the balls to start Judgement day at the end.

Did anyone expect Skynet to fade away after T2 ended. Come on evil finds a way.

I wonder where my comment went where I said the music was awful! They should have gotten John Powell for this one.

IMHO, T3 didn’t have a lack of action, it had a lack of acting. I thought the guy they got to play John Connor was horrible; and I didn’t think much of the actress destined to be his wife. I felt the T-1000 was far better than the TX. And I enjoyed Salvation more than T3.

What I mean when I say it conradicted itself and the first two films was that the theme of T1 and T2 was “The future is not set, there is no fate, but what we make for ourselves”, but T3 pissed on that and says the it is set and if so then sending a terminator back in time to kill Connor wouldn’t change anything.

T3 had action, but thats ALL it had,the story was rediculous……it contradicted the first two films and itself, the roles were miscast(especially who they got to play Connor), the “TX” was weaker than the T-1000.
