This is incorrect.The first official trailer for Terminator: Dark Fate.
Trailer
This is the only direct sequel to T1 & T2, and directed by James Cameron. For once, I’m somewhat excited about a new Terminator movie.
Yea. They next couple times watching the trailer, the more I cringe. I don't get what the purpose of an unattractive female Terminator serves skynet. It's not a good infiltration unit. I guess it can be a good fighter but then why not keep mass producing the Arnold skins? I'm sure it will be a really dumb reason written in.Hard pass.
There aren't many action/sc-fi movies I love more than the 1-2 punches of the first two Alien and first two Terminator movies, but both franchises have been run into the ground.
Reported net worth of 70 millionThe bad: If Linda Hamilton doesn't 'win' a Razzie for this, I'm quitting the academy. She's awful.
You'd think she could afford an acting lesson or two then. She was nothing more than a foul mouthed, buffed up granny, wanna be action star. She was the weakest part of T2 and now she's at the point where she's distractingly bad.Reported net worth of 70 million
Did you not see Terminator: Genisys? That movie was so bad I thought it killed the franchise. Turns out it only SHOULD HAVE killed the franchise. Someone thought there was still some blood to squeeze out of this turnip.Could this movie be any worst cast?
I thought she looked like a female Clint Eastwoood. Weathered face and steely-eyed stare. She LOOKED like a bad-###. Unfortunately the dialogue they gave her was bland and colorless. I don't blame her as much as the writers. They did nothing to advance the character of Sarah Connors. She starts this film as the same character as T2 and ends as the same character from T2. She may has well have been a terminator considering the lack of emotion and depth they provided for her.The bad: If Linda Hamilton doesn't 'win' a Razzie for this, I'm quitting the academy. She's awful.
I agree 100%, I feel the exact same way and I would also add in the Star Wars movies to this. A+ on the first Star Wars, A-/B+ on the 2nd Star Wars, with the stupid ewok crap the 3rd one gets a C but ultimately (to me) that franchise has also been run into the ground. I've watched them all but each time I watch one, they either seem bad or if not bad they have a been there done that quality.Hard pass.

I prefer this one because he's drunker.This review breaks down the whole movie, so don't watch it if you are trying to avoid spoilers, but it makes a lot of great points about how this franchise has gone off the rails, not just because of the need to reboot it as 'woke', but for many other plotholes and cringey moments.

I thought she was the most wasted potential. She's a human Terminator hybrid that needs drugs to survive. Think of how much that would weigh on your psyche. They never delve into that part of it. Just keep going balls to the wall action for no purpose. So terrible.Did you not see Terminator: Genisys? That movie was so bad I thought it killed the franchise. Turns out it only SHOULD HAVE killed the franchise. Someone thought there was still some blood to squeeze out of this turnip.
I went to see this last night. Blech.
I thought the only bright spot was Mackenzie Davis as Grace. Her actions scenes were pretty bad-###.
The rest of the film waffled between unremarkable and bad.

Emilia Clarke was young Sarah Connor back in time and aware of the future for reasons.I still want to see it.
Which was the one with Emilia Clarke? What was her role in it?
Whatever happened to the blond Terminator girl?
I don't disagree, but at least she had the best action scenes, which was more than any of the other mudpuddle-deep characters got.Just keep going balls to the wall action for no purpose.
Wat?Hollywood is so pathetic anymore. Zero creativity, let's just keep rehashing old movies.
Agreed. Unfortunately those get largely ignored unless they're a surprise hit. Then they get turned into a franchise and milked for all it's worth. I.e the conjuringWat?
But yes, there are lots of money grab movies that just want to squeeze as much as possible out of a dying IP. However, there are many many original screenplays and plenty of fresh ideas in theaters. They just don't have the money to get our attention.
Totally agree. Why do people keep saying this? There is literally more content out now than any human could consume. I don’t get it.EYLive said:Wat?

Really good points and why I have never gone past 2 or 3 in any franchise.Sullie said:Highlander, Jurassic Park, Back to the Future, etc. To me, so many movie sequels/franchises are just absolute crap, first one may be very good or even amazing and then they're just ruined with really campy, garbage sequels.
To be fair, he said Hollywood. I agree there is a ton of content to watch, but I think people confuse all the options that are good TV shows, exclusive for streaming networks, etc.. with what you can choose to see in the theater. Where I am, if I want to go to the theater it's basically one screen at 9pm of an indie movie then every other screen and time filled with existing IP, sequels, and reboots.Totally agree. Why do people keep saying this? There is literally more content out now than any human could consume. I don’t get it.
Why?

I could not have written a better or more concise description of exactly how I feel about each movie on all counts.The only Terminator I hated was Salvation.
The truck chase in T3 is freaking awesome. And I like how the ending didn't chicken out. But Nick Stahl is just terrible.
Genisys was horribly, horribly cast (Jai Courtney is the worst) but there were some not dumb ideas, Jason Clarke was cool, and it looked decent.
