Apparently Christian Bale was first cast in the role of Marcus, but then he decided that he wanted to play a more iconic character from the storyline. When he suggested he play John Connor, they told him that John didn't have a very big role in the film. Well.....thats when he threw a temper tantrum and demanded a rewrite. So the whole script was rewritten JUST so he could play John Conner....

Interesting, I could see how this affected the whole script. I felt as though something was done wrong, cause the story sounds great, just executed poorly. The character depth felt lacking, with the exception of Marcus's character which is just a bit better than the rests. The story is a bit spoon fed as well, they could of easily added a few surprises for the viewer.

Terminator bots + theme song + war

how can this be bad an not worth seeing on a 50 ft screen?!?!

-John Connor is piratically worthless in this film, Marcus wright proved to be far more interesting

When I read an article a year or two ago about the movie my understanding was that that was the point. They want the trilogy to focus on Marcus, it's not supposed to be about Connor.

Its not bad at all, its entertaining, I liked it more than say Wolverine, but not as much as I enjoyed Star Trek. I always wanted to see that future post apocalyptic world where man battles machine that Kyle Reese explains in the first movie. Action was great though, cant lie, but a movie cant shine alone on the action...unless youre the transformers franchise.

going to see this at the drive in tues


5 bucks! .. its worth it for the shiity movies

I know what you mean mang.

And Malek, Wolverine was pretty meh, but im sure we've seen way worse. Star Trek seems like the movie of this summer, im not a huge Transformers fan so im happy to think that i've already seen the best summer blockbuster this year.
