I saw the new Terminator
Now theres a movie where I can understand the fanboy hate. It was all about the splosions and the story took a back seat. The only good thing was that it was better than terminator 3.

2. Yeah I've read it's pretty bad - gonna go see "Drag Me to Hell" and "Up"
next weekend/week after instead. :) Drag Me to Hell (Sam Raimi - Spiderman - Evil Dead trilogy movies) looks awesome and has great reviews at rottentomatos review site. :evilgrin:

3. Better than Terminator 3? WTF?
That's like saying it was better than George Clooney as Batman. No wait, Terminator 3 is several notches above Clooney. But you get the point.

4. it has the four things that make a movie great for me...
1) zombies. Let's face it. the Terminators are nothing more than updated zombies.

2) end of world apocalyptic scenario. Nothing like seeing a ruined mcdonalds, huh?

3) computer graphics used to their full extent short of a massive video game.

and 4) action, explosions, bad acting and more explosions. I mean, honestly, are you expecting high art from a film that has cyborgs killing humans? get real.

I'm going to see it and I'm going to love it. LOL The length of the movie could be 5 days long and I would still watch every single minute of it.

Next up, Aliens 5: the 3rd do over!! I can't wait!!!

7. Oh they can. Note I didn't have a sarcasm thingy...
I'm so down for this movie I can't wait. I'm thinking of blowing off work to go see it.

And for my Aliens comment, I stand by what I say. Everything since Aliens (2nd movie), has sucked. They need to bring the Aliens to earth and have the final show down.

8. Just wish they tried a little harder on the story
There were a lot of plot holes in this movie. And a lot of the explosions were unnecessary.

6. Not Bale's high art?
And this is the film Christian "fucking amateur fuck fuck fuck" Bale got upset over?

The Financial Times panned it in its review.
