[Closed] Terminator Salvation - any good ?

imo No

Imagine the Terminator franchise following a Paul McCartney type career path...

The Beatles
Wings
Mull of Kintyre
The Frog Chorus

That's pretty much as good an analogy as you'll get.

It's not bad if you don't want to have to think too much and watch a bit of action.

It's not supposed to be thought provoking or intellectual so I reckon it does exactly what it's supposed to do.

(I enjoyed it !)

Remember the awesome post-apocalyptic flashback (forward?) that Kyle had in The Terminator?

Well, it's nothing like that, it's proper shit.

Genius. And not wrong.

its bad. what a letdown 😐

Does that mean Terminator 5 will be [i]Ebony and Ivory[/i]?

i enjoyed it, its perfectly watchable, not in the same league as the first 2 films tho imo.
PJM=genius.

One of the worst films I have ever seen. Only beaten by the Clash of the Titans remake

Oh, I thought it was a cracking film! Good bit of vis effect, ok story, guns, robots.....

DrP

OK, I'm going in and will watch it 🙂

One of the most disappointing films I've ever watched despite my low expectations.

If you need to bale on Bale, Clerks is on Dave at 10 for something more cerebral. 😆

More disappointing than T3 was? Oh...

You mean bail on Bale ? 😉

Oh, it was definitely worse than T3

it's waaaay better than Rise of the Machines.
I mean, Claire Danes in an pre-post-apocalyptic cyborg action movie? Really?

I've only ever watched it dubbed in German and it was ok. Perhaps it will prove to be worse when I can understand the dialogue.

I once hired it from a shop. About a month later I hired it again forgetting I had hired it once. It was equally shite each time.

Checked and Rotten Tomatoes gives it about 30% so I`m gonna watch Clerks instead.

And not forgeting Heather Mills (with her prosthetic limb and all that) as the evil cyborg love interest 😉

The frog chorus is ace.

Brilliant.

its good with the surround system on just for the Terminator noises

Claire Danes

I like Claire Danes- she does it for me 😉

I`m gonna watch Clerks instead.

Good plan. Top movie. I have a theory that the quality of Kevin Smith films is inversely proportional to his budget.

i love the Mull Of Kintyre song as thats where i'm from so get it right up ye ****ts. The Pipe Major in the video taught me to play the pipes. Cant be that bad when its still one of the UKs' highest selling singles of all times

As for the movie it does blow a bit

hahaha ha ha

I'm enjoying it but I have simple tastes and am slightly drunk .

+1

Better than I expected.

Hmmmmmmm....

I thought it was good.
Not a great storyline, bit of a build-up to T5 and 6 I guess.
The introduction of CG Arnie was a bit cheap.

A good Saturday night movie 😀

i like it but then i was gutted the cancelled the sarah connor chronicles

I enjoyed it for a take your brain out movie. Really nice effects. And all the better for minimal Schwartze****yness.

One of the most disappointing films I've ever watched despite my low expectations.

Oh God...Highlander 2.

Imagine being sat facing the release valve of an agricultural muck spreader at a range of about twelve inches as the nozzle is opened at maximum pressure and then maintaining that stance for ninety minutes as high velocity manure is flung randomly in your general direction.

Now you have some inkling of what it is like to sit through Highlander 2 in a cinema. Only the reality is worse. Much, much worse.

PJM, that's a pretty eloquent description of how I felt coming out of the cinema having actually [i]paid[/i] to see Highlander 2.
I hadn't seen any reviews... 😡

I think I could review films for a living...

Watching 2012 was like being the head fluffer on the set of [i]Charlies Anals[/i].

What's this nonsense about there being a Highlander 2?

Starts out dull, gets duller, gets even duller, then makes a miraculous turnaround at the end?

I was about half an hour into it before I realised I seen it before. My mind must have tried to erase it from my memory like a horrific car crash.

****yness.

Gaaasppp..... did he really say [i]that[/i] word?? 😉

the Arnie bit of the film is actually the best bit i thought, they did his face a 1000 times better than Bridges in TRON 2.0
it was Ultimately a pointless film, it showed us nothing we didnt already know did not move the plot line on at all, and just introduced us to a new character who was easily killed off and didnt have to be referenced in any other movie.

there was a flaw that was introduced in T3 and T4 in that how the hell did Skynet suddenly build all these big flying robots/water robots/cycle and ground robots/ T400/600/800/1000 machines in a matter of a couple of years after a world nuclear holocaust with no man power, (or even robot power if you see just where they were up to at the end of T3)

i'm getting quite tired of them putting women in action roles who are stick thin and couldnt survive a breath of wind, let alone someone chucking them across the room or muscling a jet fighter around. just check out Battleship to name a few.
Carrie Anne Moss in mAtrix FTW!

Carrie Anne Moss in mAtrix FTW!

But surely when she's in the Matrix the power is with the mind of programmer. How else would Keanu be a god?

yeah, but Carrie Ann-Moss in that tight black suit. Made it a good trilogy for me!! 😀
