Or wait for the Blu ray??? |
If youre a fan of Terminator, its worth checkin' out. I enjoyed it, it just had potential to be a much better movie. Im definately blaming the director for failing to make the script much more than it could of been. Hopefully they pick another director for the next one. |

Nah dude, it was MCG. I couldn't believe christian bale was john connor. What a waste. |
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. |

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. |

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. |
