It was good and well filmed and gave us new killers from Skynet such as the Motorcycle units and the Harvester.

It’s on Par I agree and wow, what fan of Guns N Roses still isn’t listening to “You Could Be Mine”?

Terminator 2: Judgment Day – Fucking spectacular, perfect.
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines – Iffy and unnecessary.
Terminator Salvation – Damn good, really underrated.

Good job, James.

So many people the days just hate every new thing that comes out, even before they are released, or there is any definitive information on them. There’s some kind of sequel bias that’s like a pandemic now. There’s so much nitpicking and blowing tiny things way out of proportion, and calling them rape without even hints of sarcasm or hyperbole.

It’s so embarrassing to read and hear. Everyone’s a critic? More like everyone’s a pretentious snob. Good review, though. Obviously not everyone after all, thank goodness.

Terminator 1 and 2 had a very deep impact on me as a kid and Terminator 3, like you. I feel has been misjudged a bit too much. But this one, after seeing it I felt completely raped of those childhood memories having seen the first two. I think Bale is useless portraying Connor, the enviroments felt nothing like the flashbacks of Terminator 1 and 2. And like many people do say, I really have to agree on this one. It’s not Terminator without Arnold.

(Spoiler:)

Well the movie has been out for a while and I feel that I should be able to mention it. The naked Arnold jumping out of the freezebox CGI face just made it worse, because to me that just insulted creative storytelling and plot parts. It felt like a desperate attempt to put Arnold in this movie but ridicules the movie goers who just wish in vain he had really been in it.

I respect your opinion because you argue in a mature sense and speak of the diffrent elements of films from a good standpoint but for me, this was one of the worst movies I have ever seen and that says a lot for me at least, and I truly do mean that I hated it. But as always, keep up the good work because I keep coming here to listen to your profound thoughts!

So when the machines actually ID and capture Kyle Rease… and use him to lure Connor to his death, it seems kind of ridiculous doesn’t it? Why not just kill Rease? It’s why they wanted him to begin with. It’s what they’ve been doing the entire series!
