Dog shit taco. Plain and simple.
If it wasn't a free screening I think I would have asked for my money back.
Here is where I would warn about spoilers, but you can't spoil a movie this god awful.
I didn't walk in with high hopes either.
I wanted to see Christian Bale kicking some ass, some badass terminators with badass terminator music. But they couldn't do that. They needed fucking terminator giant robomechs, terminator motorcycles, skynet had to have the voice of some doctor who worked on cyborgs and they threw in a terminator who thought he was human because he was made with the body of a convicted, but repentant murderer. Not only that but terminators could be defeated by a radio signal, of course nobody ever thinks to use it when a terminator is about to shoot them in the face. John COnnor can apparently fly any aircraft and can see submarines that are underwater in the middle of a storm and swim down to them.
This movie blows, save your money and don't see it.

oh yeah, i like how they blow shit up around the resistance base and no one is noticing. skynet has enough 'manpower' to put hydrobots in a fucking pound near the base, but not enough to notice there are huge explosions, gunfights and what not.
where are those A10 landing and taking off from? apparently they just roam the sky randomly, without skynet noticing, even though it took control of all military (therefor sattelites and such) defense years ago.
and the finale scene..."take my heart" rofl. if i was part of the resistance, i would've elected this cyborg right there to be my leader, for obvious reasons.
ok enough...i hate when hollywood rapes movie series from my child hood :(

I should've listened to you.
- Christian Bale = fail. What's with the raspy Batman voice? *silence* "WHAT ARE YOU?!" *silence* lol, awful acting.
- the ex-con on death row was kinda cool. i thought it was a bit dumb he only realised he was a robot after getting blown up. his superhuman strenght would've showed up in all the action scenes before.
- motocylcles and transfomers robot made my head shake too.
- why do T600 where bandanas and boots? i can understand the disguise when we see one in LA, but the guards within the skynet compound wearing "warrior" clothes was dumb.
- the Arnie bit...wow, i guess terminators don't terminate all that much. way to toss john connor around instead of just ripping him apart. how did he lose track of him anyway? in the previous movies, the terminator would've followed him and destroyed him right there.
- the T800 did the same thing. why didn't it just tear Connor's head off instead of just grabbing him by the throat? except for T1, all the following terminators took their time when they had their targets in sight.
- why wasn't kyle reese killed right there on the spot?
- why does john connor thinks everything is lost if kyle reese dies. does he think he's that important? judgement day might have occured earlier (without cyberdine's destruction in T2) but survivors would still be there. it kinda made him look like a selfish prick when he told people not to bomb skynet, which they thought would provide victory at the time.
- how can humans land a fleet of helicopter in the middle of skynet without any resistance? sure perimeter defense was shutdown, but there wasn't ANYone inside?
...
so many questions and holes in this movies...it was obviously botched in every aspect, except for a few cool looking action sequences.
T2 was great because of casting, scores, script and new effects (at the time). i also watched it as an impressionable kid.
but in the end, T1 remains the only realy Terminator movie of the series. it was almost an horror flick. the machine just kept going, like a fucking machine would do.
it should've stop after the first or second movie.
up next...PREDATOR TEN!

I would need a resume of movies you liked and disliked previously to get a proper idea of how much stock i should put in this review.
-------------------
Last good movie I saw was let the right one in, but I am not some pretentious art house movie lover.
I liked terminator 2, (still think 1 was better simply because Sarah Conner babbling about driving down a dark road was garbage). Terminator 3 wasn't that good.
I like the new Batman movies, Iron Man was good...I don't know throw some names of movies out.
-----------
Seems representative. The more I watch T2 the less I Like it. Furlong is just a punk. When he starts teaching Arnie Spanish I want to puke.
T3 was bad. I liked the end--only because of the nostalgia and the foreshadowing.

The line between Hollywood and satirical piss-takes of Hollywood grows ever thinner.
That is shit I would expect to see in a South Park send up.

i told you the end was frustrating.
i only watched it on my computer, blockbuster has it now, a whole shelf full but everytime i've been in they were all checked out.
its a love or hate kind of film.
i could have done without the gore but i still love that the reveal suprised the hell out of me.
watch 'let the right one in"
thats really good just like people on my thread said.

Mystia--the roommie and I watched Martyrs on Sunday. That movie was fucked the hell up, I'll say that much. I dont know how I feel about the end. It kind of pissed me off, actually...well, the old woman at the very end did.

I'll probably see it myself just to be sure. It has a cool enough premise and the post rock musical score will be entertaining in and of itself.
Thanks for the review; have points.

i dont care for Christian bale at all, never have, even before his angry rants on set.
I finally watched The dark knight a couple weeks ago and I do not understand the crazy success of that movie...It was ok but nowhere near good enough to make the money killing it did last summer.
I think it was just because Heath died.

HEY, Wait a freakin minute!!! That's no way to talk about taco's, regardless of their meat castle filling.
I really have no hopes that this (T4) movie will be any good. T3 pissed me off when there was a chase scene and the semi trailer slides and there is a huge "Xenadrine" label on it...seriously! Do we need commercials in movies? I mean actually IN THE MOVIE???? I was actually giving the movie a chance until I saw that.

I'll think about seeing this movie after I get around to watching T3.
I still feel the childhood awe when I hear the word terminator... I'm afraid to see any of this new shit, the whole "make everything a trilogy" idea of the last decade or so sucks donkey balls.
If you read enough books you realize that some stories are told in a single book, some are designed to be trilogies (or quadrilogies, pentologies, sextologies etc.) and some are designed to be serial works with a new one coming out every few months/years.
For movies that are based on books: Either cram it all into one or stick to the order. No more of this mix and match change your mind after a few years shit.
For original movies: pick a method and stick to it.

...kick your fucking ass. I want you off the fucking set you prick. No, don't just be sorry, think for one fucking second. What the fuck are you doing? Are you professional or not? Do I fucking walk around and rip- no, shut the fuck up Bruce, do I-no! No! Don't shut me up. Am I going to walk around and rip your fucking lighs down? In the middle of a scene? Then why the fuck are you walking right through? a-tada-tada like this in the background, what the fuck is it with you? What don't you fucking understand? You got any fucking idea about- Hey! It's fucking distracting having somebody walking up behind bryce in the middle of the fucking scene. Gimme a fucking answer. What don't you get about it? ... fuck sake man you're amateur... you've got something to say to this prick? Well somebody's should be watching him and keeping an eye on him. It's the second time that he doesn't give a fuck about what is going on in front of the camera. Alright? I'm trying to fucking do a scene here and I'm going why the fuck is Shane walking in there? What is he doing there? Do you understand? My mind is not in the scene if you're doing that. Stay off the fucking set man, for fuck's set. Right let's go again. Let's not take a fucking minute, let's go again. And let's not have you fucking walking in... You're unbelievable man, you're un-fucking-believable. The number of times you stroll in the fucking background. I've never had a DP behave like this. You don't fucking understand what its like working with actors. That's what that is. I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. You wouldn't have done that otherwise. I'm gonna fucking kick your fucking ass if you don't shut up for a second, alright? I'm gonna go, do you want me to go and trash your lights? Do you want me to fucking trash them? Then why are you trashing my scene? You do it one more time, and I ain't walking back to set if you're still hired... seriously man - you and me, we're fucking done professionally.... fucking ass.

T1 is awesome.
T2 is perfect (i wacthed it last night :-)).
T3 is kinda underrated. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so awfully casted (Nick Stahl and Claire Danes FTL). Could've done without all the humor as well. But it's still kinda good.
T4...i don't have any expectations. Large majority of movies suck ass nowadays. Especially reboots and sequels. Bale signed for three Terminator movies. :-(
----------------------------
Another thing that pissed me off, it totally left the door open for a sequel when they should have either wrapped it up or started a few years earlier.

Meh, my buddy really wants to see it so we're going next weekend. I'm kind of indifferent. I never really gave a shit about any of the Terminator films. I fucking hated the "Sarah Connor Chronicles" and it even had Summer Glau in it. Which, incidently, I hear they are going to work into the 2nd of this trilogy in some way.
I actually really enjoyed "Star Trek," even with all the massive cheese.

Christian Bale's *fantastic* in the right role.
Batman...? Eh, I could've done without him there. From the sounds of it, he's not too great in this either.

I just wished they had someone else playing Batman, he's to dull to be Bruce Wayne.
As for this terminator film, think i will stick to terminator 2.
