Is it good or should I just burn the money instead of going?

From what I hear, burn the Money

Seems the approached Mr Bale about playing the lead (not John Connor) as John Connor was just going to be a minor part in this one.

Mr Bale "persuaded" them to let him play John Connor and to make the part bigger - the character was supposed to only have 3 mins screen time, with the focus being on the character Bale was originally supposed to play.

SO, Actor ruins film, basically.

Or so I hear......

I thought it was good...

However i feel its nothing more than a taster of the two more thats to come! It feels very much like its just a warm up film.

Bit like the first matrix.

Unfortunatley the first matrix was the best one out of the lot for me

Probably gonna see it as I have done with all the others..must be better than the Rise of the machines

I've only ever seen Terminator 2 at the Cinema, not sure about this one... it was also my first experience of going to cinema, I think I was about 16.

Saw it today.

It's alright - some parts are a bit cliched, other parts remind me of the borg vs Picard scene in First Contact.

Better than the third (though that's not hard!). Some good nods to the earlier movies, the Linda Hamilton uncredited vocal cameo was a nice touch oh & I loved the digi-Arnie cameo too!

Glad Claire Danes wasn't in it, or either of the two John Connors from T2 & T3.

Was that the JC is a terminator scooby doo ending? That would've been an interesting plot development for the rest of the franchise.....!

I will be going to see it.... but for one reason only.....

Christian Bale.... Swooooon!!!!

Seriously though ... if i ever listened to film critics or opinions of other people then i wouldn't have seen half the films i have. I have my own brain and like to make up my own mind whether a film is good or not
