Anybody else seen Terminator Salvation?

I thought it was pretty rubbish - you don't spend long enough with one set of characters to care about 'em, and there isn't a standout moment in the film that manages not to be laughable ffs :(

Oh, and the 'cameos' were absolutely atrocious, esp. a certain English actress who really should have known better :oops:

I honestly can't tell if it equaled T3 for averageness or was worse - just like that film, it was a retread of all the best ideas of the first two :roll:

I quite liked it, but not for it's plot. I thought the CGI was fantastic and it was an entertaining popcorn romp, but I wasn't expecting an awful lot.

It was so dire I decided it wasn't even worth a lambasting in the films thread.

See, that's just it, I need structure!

Not just 'Christ, this dialogue isn't going well cos we've no story - quick, show a different kind of Terminator!' :cry:

I knew there was already a thread for this sort of thing :oops: :oops: :oops:

Oh well, maybe the title will draw someone in and the studio/cinema won't get another victim (IMO ;) )...

He's not crap, he's sort of in 'Reign of Fire mode', if that makes sense. He's fighting for screen time, basically... In fact, everybody in the film is :roll:

I think I’ll just stop with watching he first two then. The third was not good. If the Marx Brothers had turned up, I would not have been surprised.

I did enjoy the TV series, which took a different tack. Maybe a third series of that would have been money better spent.

The first 15 minutes of the film were great, the half terminator was terrifying, then it all went wrong. I was truly bored. Good effects let down by a simple plot that didn't have the details to keep it alive.

3 out of 10.

If you want to see a good movie at the moment, Drag me to Hell is really worth a watch.

I heard during filming he was so in character that he flips at the a crew member, I think maybe he realised what a terrible film he was doing. Especially with Mc "G" at the helm, the name should have given it away.
