T4/Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins

T2 was gash because Arnie played the good guy.

I'll probably be on my own here (as one of the few it seems these days not to get their knickers in a twist that Doctor Who can be silly) but I find the films to be pretty consistant in quality.

Terminator - Is a good film, sadly a bit ragged looking these days but still highly watchable.

Terminator 2 - The definate high point of the series, other than the effects it?s impressive that it even exists in its form given how much a expansion of Terminator 1 it is, like an entire genre shift in many ways.

Terminator 3 ? Also good, it?s by far the most slight of the three but given where T2 ends and the Future War begins there was no other way the film could have gone as making it dryer and longer to emulate T2 would have made it too much hard work. It?s limited by its setting but stripped back to a pure action film it?s highly enjoyable.

Given the shift in style again I?m keen to see where T4 takes the series. It could be pants but given the wave of Narnia/Harry Potter films we usually get I?m all for a bit of Sci-Fi action

What?! People think T2 is rubbish T2 is awesome, best of the lot!

T2 is awesome. Great sequel. Different from the first, yes, but a great film in its own right. I always end up watching at least some of it when it is on TV.

Im liking the new trailer. Feels suitably dark, and i get the feeling the Terminators could well be quite scary again. Certainly the one patrolling the prisoner camp in the trailer looks menacing enough. Cant wait.

T2 is probably my favourite film of all time. I'm surprised so many people don't like it! Sure, it's a bit cheesy at the end but the action sequences are incredible and Arnie was arguably at the peak of his powers. It's not "art" by any stretch of the imagination but for a summer blockbuster and action spectacle it delivers. This isn't Shakespeare we're talking about it here... it's Schwarzenegger!

I'm a little sceptical of T4 - the trailer looks decent but trailers aren't always the best way to judge a film's quality! I was majorly disappointed with T3 and I don't like the Sarah Connor Chronicles at all, seems like an insult to the Terminator legacy to me. Just a pity they couldn't get James Cameron to come back and do another one.

Motion picture greats? It's about a robot who learns to love a child. And it has a thumbs-up at the end. The rest of the film could be utterly fantastic and that alone shold remove it from being within twenty feet of the word 'great'.

A robot who learns to love.

Don't get me wrong, I loved it as a kid but that's because it's pretty much a kid's movie. About a robot who learns to love.

And a thumbs-up.

Isn't that I,Robot?

I liked the trailer but there was too much daylight and the Batman voice is back.

[Leon Retro]

I had, and still have.. no problem with Arnie playing a good Terminator. He always played good guys in his other films.

The T1000 was a great creation. Robert Patrick played the part with an icy menacing persona - and it worked brilliantly.

T2 was definitely a friendlier film than the original. It was softer, but.. still fun and interesting.

I can only hope that Bale doesn't get on my nerves. I can imagine he will. It's a shame they couldn't get a good American actor for the part. I hate British people pretending to be American; because I know the truth.

Still better than Americans pretending to be British (for the most part)

[spikecast]

This is going to be awful, 10 new Terminators? Changing the original one? Set before the first 3? It looks horrid, I hope I'm wrong as I really like Bale but this will be average like T3.

After seeing the 'flashbacks' of the future war in Terminator, we've got expectations that I doubt the film makers will meet.

After seeing the 'flashbacks' of the future war in Terminator, we've got expectations that I doubt the film makers will meet.

Bale in the trailer goes on about how this isn't the future that he was expecting so I guess something has changed or been changed in the past or something to make them able to get away from the vision of the future shown in the 'flashbacks'...maybe? I'm starting to think that just watching The Terminator and ignoring the rest is the best move.
