Sam Worthington's Marcus was more interesting than Bales Connor tbhfam.

The original script had some interesting ideas, they were all cut from the film which left massive plot holes. It was also HORRIBLY edited. I jerked off to BDH tho.

This comes out of the screenplay theory that is drilled into every script writer, there has to be arc, there has to be a dilema, there has to be a resolution, there has to be a protagonist and a love interest
so we get worthingtons bullshit character shoehorned in
and since conspiracies and guvmit plotting is all the rage you get Hollywood putting it in every film so you get Skynets cunning plan thats just laughable

Lets suppose you cut that out and its just Conner fighting the machine - what happens for 2 hours? What is the plot?

I'd say it suffers from some overall bad direction and pacing, . Probably one of the few people that actually like the T-X and the ending was pretty good.

Reading up on the background of it ultimately is more interesting.

>Stan Winston and his team constructed flawless, life-size, fully-operational robotic replicas of Arnold Schwarzenegger and co-star Kristanna Loken because certain sequences involving fire and explosions were too dangerous for them to perform.

At no point did I actually buy Bale as John Conner. I wish they had just brought back the T3 cast. Nick Stahl actually looked like he could be Kyle Reese's son, and he looked like he could convincingly age into >>71095972

That huge mech thing and the HKs used energy weapons.
I thought it was a good idea to minimize their use.
By introducing them gradually, you could have a smooth transition between pre-JD to a film mirroring those beginning scenes of T1 without it seeming too over the top.

You know it was Rated R right? Everything after is PG-13.

But yeah some of the humor falls REALLY flat, one thing that irked me was like this squeaky toy noise during a serious car chase.

I agree OP. Had some great set pieces. Story was weird, but its Terminator, they've all been weird since T1
>>
This movie had one fatal flaw, the terminators were not threatening AT ALL and killed exactly no one. Besides that explosion in the literal beginning of the movie who dies? The Terminators can't kill anyone despite there being dozens of them in the film. Literal unstoppable killing machines that usually take a whole cast of a film dying before the last one or two surviving people can kill it. And instead we get maybe one death from a whole world of these faggots. That is why this movie is shit, not that the whole thing isn't in darkness on top of skulls, but because there are no stakes to this movie.

Do you even hear yourself? Regardless, there's nothing wrong with moments of levity in a serious movie. It doesn't impact the weight of the story. In fact it's generally seen as a good thing to give your audience those chances to catch their breath in an otherwise tense film.

And to be fair Arnold isn't exactly someone you take super serious in the first place. I've seen multiple films of his at the cinema in which at least one person laughed literally every time he spoke. Just speaking normal dialogue, someone in the audience would find it funny because it's Arnold. Not the same person either, you could tell it was always coming from a different place. A couple times it came from me. Arnold just has a way of being unintentionally humorous.

For those of us who aren't autistic, we sometimes feel emotions, and those emotions can trigger a physical response. When we find something amusing we laugh. We do not consciously think about it beforehand, it's an involuntary reaction.

You guys all know that the movie was spoiled by all of the trailers and previews right?

That is likely a HUGE reason why the movie was poorly received.

The only cool part of the movie, the twist that is revealed 3/4 through the movie, was spoiled and presented in the trailers as a main plot point rather than something that is supposed to surprise us and illicit emotions out of us.

Fucking stupid...

If any movie has been decimated by it's own trailer before, it's TERMINATOR SALVATION
