Well... i was going into this thing expecting a terminator 2, and a dark knight. what i got was a half arsed story equal to that of terminator 3 just with better special effects... I always loved Terminator 1 and 2 because they didnt candy coat the movie with unrealistic things... For the most part anyways. As for terminator 4, these two people run through a mine field while getting shot at by at least 10 people.. most with mounted guns and helicopters... only to be completely uninjured by the experience... then for some reason the terminator robots are unable to shoot straight (reminds me of the original battlestar galactica cylons...) with 2 mini guns, even though the targets were no more than 20 feet away... and then for some reason one of those same types of terminators was wearing a bandana.... :\
... furthermore... this movie had no story.. /end
i definitely think this was a huge let down, sure they had a bunch of referrences to the original movies like when the same guns and roses song was play that john connor was listening to in the 2nd movie - that made the movie slightly more bearable but overall it was complete shite...
anyways if youv seen it, what did you think of it?

I liked Terminator 2 except the little kid John Connor was a complete pussy. Annoyed the hell out of me. It wasn't that a father son relationship was that bad but all this high five and "chill out jerkwad" stuff was stupid.
It was hardly realistic... The Connor pussy told the Terminator to not kill anyone, so he fires off like 10,000 rounds with his minigun, blowing up cars, and no one dies
Damn... I was hoping this T4 would be the salvation of the Terminator series :mad:
Tell me, was Helena Bonham Carter good in it? I am a huge fan of her. I know that she's not in this movie very much, but the parts that she is in, is it worth hiring from the dvd store?
Actually I would probably hire this anyway just because of the whole Christan Bale Goes Ape Shit On Set thing lol.
Here is the thing with the movie. It is entertaining the first hour or so. the last 30 minutes to an hour just plain sucks. I don't want to give any spoilers, so that is as detailed I will go into.
But for the surround sound and bigger than life robots on the big screen I was entertained. I went on a early showing Satuday afternoon for $5 and feel like I got my money's worth. I would suggest seeing it in the theater instead of renting it for that, unless you already have a bad ass theater system in your home
They are RUINING terminators good name!! It was my childhood favorite movie(s).
The story was garbage. They are just milking it at this point.
Expect at least 3 more of these bad terminator movies lol.
Very disappointing.

... did you not watch the movie..? He fires at the car and clearly CLEARLY targets only things that wouldnt cause harm to people... bullets go in straight lines and so he cant really miss as he is a robot with a near perfect targeting system.
and he was a pussy? he was what 14? id say he was waaay tougher than most 14 year olds and way more mature than they would be at the time. Dont be too quick to criticize, he played his role really well for the character he had to portray. And the chill out stuff, imo i thought that was done really well but i suppose thats a bit of personal preference

I have only ever heard Australians say "hire" when referring to renting a movie.. makes me lol every time haha
and yes she does a good job, wasn't she in fight club as well or am i thinking of someone else? However i couldnt help but feel like i wanted to strangle her through the screen because i knew that what she was doing would fuck up the future haha :\

This John Connor is supposed to be the future savior of the world, and not killing anyone doesn't adhere to the gravity of the situation. I hate that stupid idea in movies that the good guys can never kill innocent people
Neo kills loads of innocent people (albeit in the Matrix), and he is still viewed as the 'good guy'

It was mainly just his voice that annoyed the hell out of me... Then again, most 14 year olds in real life annoy me. I would be annoyed by the 14 year old version of myself and give myself a good slapping
I still liked T2 overall though... I just hate it when I see potential go to waste
P.S - Did you ever see that awful Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles? It had some cool moments but after a while it just became an emotional mushfest
I think you guys should go so see star trek. It got much better ratings than terminator. It was really awesome. Even the people who told me they traditionally HATE star trek thought it was truely epic.

IT was far from epic..It was good. Not epic. It met expectations but did not exceed them.

John Connor is just another human first of all. And, he did steal money and rebel against his surroundings... seems correct to me. I had no problem with him in T2.
And he annoyed me a lot more as a teenager in T3 than as 14-year old in T2. While most 14 year olds are annoying, there is a decent amount of decent teenagers, why did the T3 teenager have to be so mushy?

This is a thread about the Terminator, not about Star Trek, which has its own thread.
I have only ever heard Australians say "hire" when referring to renting a movie.. makes me lol every time haha
Lol, um, okay. We say 'rent' too. But apparently 'hire' is an "International term referring to "rent" a service or product".

Ah cool, she is a good villain then if you hated her so much lol. And yes, I love her in fight club too.

and star trek was pretty good because you didnt have to watch a single episode of the series to like the movie.
my friend says that christian bale's american accent sounds like hes always angry and growling. im starting to believe that.

QFT.
International means it applies to numerous countries. Which countries are these?
