"WHY NOT BE CONTROVERSIAL?
What's the point of simply posting the exacting thing the whole world does?"
Because if you're just saying it for the sake of being controversial then it's not your opinion. Obviously. |

As uncertain as I am about McG going from Charlies Angels to reinventing Terminator, it could be worse, Bret Rattner could have gotten his hands on it |

Bale or no Bale, i was never super interested in T4 anyway, especially because it looks to take place during the relatively early days of the war. i want futuristic warfare. there is no more hunting to kill one person. this is supposed to be all out, only one species gets to live kinda action, but whatever. i am more pissed that someone actually said T2 wasnt as good as T1, or T3 or whatever the hell else was said, .....i though it was clearly absolutely obvious that T2 was/is/forever will be, an absolutely great masterpiece of a movie. i loved T1 as well, but it doesnt hold a candle to its sequel....alright, maybe it does hold a candle...but not very high. |

I remember reading an article back in 2003 just before T3 came out, where somebody asked Cameron if he would've directed the movie if he'd been given the same script to work with.
His response was something along the lines of "Why would I be interested in directing a script written by somebody else about characters that I fucking created?"
Can't say I blame him. To create something as bad-ass as the Terminator franchise and then have it bastardised by a bunch of hacks has gotta sting.
T1 and T2 just have this fuckin' gutsy, raw feel to them. T3 just felt way too... I dunno, clean. I mean the scene with the crane was pretty sweet, but all in all it lacked a lot of the qualities that the first two had in spades... In particular, atmosphere.
Anyway, I remain hopeful for T4, but things aren't looking too promising just yet. |

RE: T2 HATERS
Yeah, the first one is a classic. One that actually deserves the label.
But T2 lacking because it shouldn't be about "machines vs. machines?" Or that it has grown long in the tooth but T3 hasn't? SERIOUSLY?? Strip away the Sci-Fi and T2 still has emotion and drama and has something real to say about people, where T1 was a simple-and-rushed love story with a little "technology is bad" vibe. It only hinted at what T2 explored to the core. Miles Dyson was a fantastic character played amazingly. Linda Hamilton was really good in T2, where basically anyone could have played her in T1. T2 has the courage to not even have the main antagonist for nearly an hour (turning Sarah into one temporarily), spending the time to be a good drama with the impending doom vibe that people with some patience can really appreciate. T1 is scarier and a better thriller. T2 is a better MOVIE. It has a following outside of the JoBlo Sci-Fi demo, and that's because it has more to offer.
As for T3, THAT's the movie that copied what came before and offered nothing superior in the process (not to mention spitting in the face of everything that T1 and T2 are about by saying that everyone is a slave to fate (really weird fate that "fixes" itself), thereby making everyone puppets and not people.) And along with all that, comes really REALLY cheesy attempts at humor that made me, and most of the audience I originally saw it with, cringe. I HEARD them cringe, that's how much they cringed. SO BAD. Yes, T3 has a good ending. Yes, it's a "fun" movie. But the first two combined (especially T2) offer so much more than just "fun".
And I think we can ALL agree who the greatest bad guy was.
I'm not going to jump on the James Camerson is God band wagon. His work has been great, his work has been mediocre. T3 could have been great even without Cameron, but the guy they gave it too didn't understand what the story was about, didn't bother creating the tension-filled atmosphere of the first two, and he has a really shallow, immature, obvious sense of humor. Either that, or he was just pandering.
If they lose the lame humor of T3 and actually bring in some of the amazing morphing effects of T2 (even by today's standards) that T3 failed to bring back, I'll be happy. It'll never be what it was without Linda Hamilton though, she was the heart of everything. |

WELL...
I liked T3. It was fun, exciting, and had a pretty damn good ending.
I liked T2 when it came out initially, but its grown long in the tooth. You can clearly see that it was a bigger budget remake of the first Terminator, only with John Connor now being hunted. Cameron wanted to monkey around in that universe one more time before giving up working on the franchise.
T4 won't be bad, with or without Cameron's 'blessing'. And frankly, since Cameron hasn't directed a sci-fi movie since the 90's, I'm more worried about his Avatar project than I am about T4. |

MCG, YOU MOTHER FUCKER!
Remember when McG said that he went over the script with both Cameron and Nolan? Remember when McG said that Cameron liked it so much that he suggested Sam Worthington for the role? Lying sack of shit he is! T4 is going to suck and this here proves how big of a douche bag McG really is. |

Some people's opinions just aren't solidified until they assassinate the character of those who disagree with them. |
