This is what we were waiting for, the Terminator film that takes place during the war. 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”?

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

It kinda made me mad cuz when u saw the 1st terminator u saw the soldiers in the future with laser weapons to stand a chance against the terminator and the setting was also a little disappointing cuz the 1st and second showed human skulls cars blocking u everywhere and the humans had little survival salvation every place but the part where u meet Kyle is more of everything is destroyed nothing is there and has this dessert setting the part where u meet Kyle was good it actually looked like a apocalypse idk maybe it’s like that cuz it’s 15 or 20 years before the 1st movies apocalypse idk it was ok not bad but not as good as the apocalypse in the 1st

This was a good review, not just taking a piss on the movie for not being like the previous ones.
Good job, James.

I don’t know why, but Termiator Salvation reminds me of Call of Duty, but I’m not a CoD player

I thought this movie was okay. Not as good as the first two, but definitely better than the third. The thing that bothered me the most about Salvation was the fact that the machines have no reason to be after John Conner in the first place. It wasn’t until he led the resistance to certain victory that the machines decided it was neccessary to send a terminator back in time to kill his mother (Dr. Silverman’s “retroactive abortion”) and a T-!000 to take him out as a child. In Salvation, Conner isn’t leading the resistance yet (Michael Ironside is) so we haven’t yet reached the point in time at which he becomes enough of a threat to be specifically targeted. No time-travelling terminators survived to bring information about Connor’s destiny so I have to ask the question: Why the hell are the machines even after him OR Kyle Reese. They shouldn’t know or care about who he is yet…….so the whole premise sort of makes no sense….

I must be some sort of crazy person because I love all four movies. 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.

This is probably the one movie I completely disagree with you on, I hated almost every single thing about this movie. 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!

Hey James, they entire purpose of the machines in the movie is to capture #1 John Conner or #2 Kyle Rease, effectively killing Connor as well.

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!
