Terminator Salvation (2009) - Movie Review

[Warren111able]

Agree that all 4 have something of their own to offer.BUT have to dis'agree re. Kate Brewster character,..she does have suitable depth here,,this aint no romantic drama man!

Have watched bd a dozen times so feel fitting to respond to your review,cheers for it.

[xxjonkoxx]

I didnt like this part because.

John Conner was pretty much a big pussy in Terminator 3.

And in Terminator Salvation, he is all of a sudden some bad ass rambo dude.

They could have done better with his character.

[greenred21r]

Good review. Although, I have to disgree with you on part of it and it was at the very end. When you stated your opinion on how you didn't like Bryce Dallas Howard as Kate Connor--well I actually did. As a matter of fact I though she was perfect for the role. And, when they make five and six(which the co-writer of one and two has wrote the treatments for them) I hope they bring her back. Along with Bale and Yelchin. If they don't and get new people, the war won't be the same.

[playfulpaul1985]

i felt that christian bale used the smae voice from dark knight and that was annoying in this movie. sam worthington was ace in this film as far as his character and his action scenes

[gregarganda]

@playfulpaul1985 Yeah, Bale kind of did use the same voice. It would have been okay if someone had explained that he had inhaled smoke after a bomb or something, but there was no real explanation other than the obvious "I am Bale, I am so gritty when it comes to war."

cool Movie Review

[asdfxyz1]

making a movie review while getting a hair cut. nice.

[gregarganda]

I am so happy you liked the way you thought my hair came out, I liked the outcome too. Thank you for your nice comment, what did you think of the movie? I personally liked it, I hope you liked it too.

[asdfxyz1]

Looks very Jack Black. =)

Really, I thought the movie was horrible. Bad story, unnecessary characters, bad casting. I did not care about a single character in the movie and the last fight was boring and unoriginal.

I really wish Cameron had continued working on the Terminator movies. I have a feeling this movie is going to get milked until it terminates itself.

T2 is my favorite action movie and I can watch it over and over again and not get bored. It sucks seeing these inferior sequels.

[gregarganda]

I love the honesty dude.  If you hate a movie, never bottle it up, just say "this movie was bad and I am about to tell you why." Some people just say "eh" and hide their feelings, that's not the right way to do it. Even if it is one of the most loved films of all time, people's opinions can make them hate a film, which is awesome.

Hate this movie, remember the days of Terminator 1 & 2 and how they have fallen. I too wish films like those could be made again, but this franchise is going down.

[Red23791]

@asdfxyz1

I agree, I didn't like the plot, it was boring. The characters were pretty unnecessary (especially that kid, Star...) and I didn't care for them either. The only thing i liked about this film was the T600s, really well designed, menacing, intimidating, gritty and generally badass. Too bad one was defeated by that kid I mentioned...

Yeah pretty much the only thing I liked was the terminators themselves. I would've enjoying seeing more of those T600s in action.

[gregarganda]

Ill take your word for it since you subscribe to some of my favorite youtube channels. First time I ever broad casted live a girl from the United Kingdom came in as said "Are you Jack Black?"

JJ Abrams holds the monopoly on time travel, so naturally he should've done Terminator 4...

look what he did with Star Trek, revived that franchise single handedly

[BeastlyGerman]

Yeah, but my friend also told me it had nothing to do with it.

[irjjj95]

ive just gotten back from the cinema from watching this an ive gotta say;

"it was different but awesome, the old ones is john or sarah hiding from or behing arnie, but now its an actual war movie. Which is cool"

nice review

[zekans337]

About him making it out of impossible situations.

He did it because hes done it - It's already been done.

Time Travel and so on :p.

[eggymean123]

Do I hear the T1 theme in the background? ;)

[skyydawg123]

OK, well I will have to give it a look when it comes to the dollar theatre then. I was not even going to bother with it after T3, but most of your reviews have been pretty consistent with my personal taste in movies

Peace Gregarganda, this sick old world could use more easy going people like you.

[murfmeef]

my favorite shot of the film is during the scene with the t-600 shooting at marcus wright with the minigun. In the midst of a hail of gunfire the camera pans down to show the t-600 wearing a pair of old beat up combat boots. kind of creepy, but a cool shot indeed.

[vampirehunter33]

Good movie. Only let down was no Arnold . The cgi was pretty good of the 1980s Arnold's face . But it didn't show it very long before the skin got blown off. If they do another one definitely would like to see them bring back the 80s arnold terminator . Roland Kickinger def had the body there

[jihad129108]

he was in the movie, remember x men last stand when xavair and the other guy went to go see jean gray in the beginning they used cgi to make them look younger but it was still them

[vampirehunter33]

To

jihad129108 no arnold himself was not in the movie . Director Joseph "McG" McGinty Nichol. of terminator salvation said and I quote " Arnold Schwarzenegger's likeness was utilized role via CGI, with a mold of his face made in 1984 scanned to create the digital makeup " Arnold agreed they could use the 1984 mold of his face. Arnold was asked to be in the movie himself but he declined saying he would rather concentrate on politics

[Pro25Mak]

remember this is a new trilogy so forget arnold and dont compare the new and the old

[gregarganda]

Kind of hard with a character named John Connor in four movies and Arnold's face in this one, not to mention Kyle Reese who directly ties into the first movie since he was Sarah Connor's guardian throughout the first film. I wouldn't want to fully compare all the movies, but they all tie in pretty well.

[SDCV7]

Saw the film to day.. it was really good.. it stand on it's own.. i think its a good boost for a seperate trilogy. complemented the series well. I hate it when people compare sequels to their predecessors. i think sequels should be seen as how they push the story and how do it stand on its own merits. and not to be compared to predecessors.

[gregarganda]

I am glad you liked it BOBGHOST, it was a good blockbuster movie. Some monkey marked you as spam, sorry about that.

[BOBOGHOST]

Its cool man! I thought the movie was bad ass and if any one has a problem with it then thats there problem.

[lost815360]

thank you

[IRISHMOBSTER55]

idk i sw the movie today i thought it was good but when the credicts started to roll i felt like i wanted more i wanted to see more gaint battles i wanted to see more of the t-600 you only see like 4 in the entire movie and i when marcus was in skynet looking threw information i wanted to see how he was bulit cause he has a brain and a human heart but no idk its werid but over all it was an okay movie of the 3 big summer starers ( startrek ts and xmen) it goes st ts then xmen for me

[Themeparkdude1]

Most honest review and most fun one yet. You have five stars and a subscriber dude.

[ramir180]

this movie is AWESOME, I loved it when you got to see "Arnold" and I really recomend for anyone that loves the Terminator movies to go out and see this

[Jblackman900]

look on my page about Pruane2Forever

and do U see every movie and have every game

[seancarletonzero]

The Guns n' Roses part had me pretty excited!

[muertos06]

haha heck yeah, the "you could be mine" part was awesome

[Mistermarvelous17]

I agree totally, saw it yesterday and loved it. Sam Worthington was fucking brilliant. Great review.

[TheGrandEnemy]

I hope I can get to see it soon, I also hope this is actually the last movie in the terminator franchise

[gregarganda]

Cannot make any promises in the no more sequels department, but it is a good movie, enjoy it thoroughly.

[Minase]

so is there really a cgi camoe appearance of arnold?

[gregarganda]

CGI cameo, a very 1980's CGI cameo at that because what we get to see is very young looking Arnold.

[Minase]

oh cool so his cgi apearance is there thats good wouldnt be a terminator movie with out at least having the originator of the machines in it XD thanks for the info

[dracade101]

another great reveiw..

[gregarganda]

Thanks dracade101, I'll keep on pumping them out.

[Xifour]

Oh and the T-600(the chain gun Term.) had a little CG. They used a man in a Green Screen suite that had metal shoulders and arm plates. They used CG to fill in the rest.

Most of the Effects in this movie are a mix of 2 or 3 techniques that are usually used by themselves.

[Xifour]

I liked the movie, it was everything I expected for the third movie and didn't get, as far as action goes.

As for Arnolds cameo it was more like the T-800 in flesh cameo. MCG used a Austrian body double who is similiar in size and looks, then used CG for the rest. It wasn't even the Arnold of today its was 80's Arnold.

Anyway everyone applauded when Arnolds face hit the screen. I felt like a kid when he appeared.

[gregarganda]

I know it wasn't Arnold, but for it to make any sense to have him in it, they needed the young Arnold face. I am glad you enjoyed it!

[greyfoxyo]

good review, i just cant understand why so snoby critics complain that the movie is to bleak, and that theres no humor in the movie, gee idint know the apocalypse was funny and colorful.

[gregarganda]

I always hunt for sadness, seriousness and the bleakness found in film. It certainly helps in terms of war movies.

[CivilianSnowman]

great review1 i cant believe how excited i am to see this movie!

[gregarganda]

I can tell how much of a Terminator fan you are Jack, go see it, love it!

[SirHLO]

I never really saw any of the terminator movies (i saw the first one, bits and pieces), but this sounds like a pretty interesting watch. I'll have to look into it after all those other blasted movies you've suggested to me XD

[gregarganda]

Watch movies! Became one of us, one of us, gooble gobble gooble gobble! (film reference)

[Themeparkdude1]

Finally an honest review of what the film gave us.

Keep up the good work.

[gregarganda]

Thanks Themeparkdude1, I'll keep it up, you keep on watching.
