Terminator: Salvation - The NEW new thread

[Aesop Rocks]

I think he should have been taken off the project as soon as he lied about James Cameron's blessing.

Filmmakers lie all the time. You just don't want to get caught lying. That's what happened with McG.

 

[Doctor Jones]

McG lied? That's new to me!

 

[FilmNerdJamie]

 

[Dark Helmet]

McG lied? That's new to me!

He lied about the DVD & Blu-Ray having more deleted scenes & like already mentioned he lied about getting James Cameron's blessing & I am sure some will be able to list some more

 

[TheVileOne]

I just don't know how McG can seriously believe he will be brought back to direct Terminator again. I mean, I might be an idiot because for all I know he could stay on as producer or something, but he's not on any sort of binding agreement to direct a trilogy as far as I know.

What does he have to prove by making more? No one wants to see his Terminator Trilogy.

My vision of the NEW Terminator Trilogy, was more like Band of Brothers. Where you follow John Conner from the beginning of the war, to the end. His journey would mirror the Journey of LT. Winthers in Band Of Brothers, where he had to prove him self to the other soldiers. It could have been great to see that journey, proving himself, mutinies, assassination attempts and ultimately becoming the mythical John Conner.

I think, once McG, for some odd reason, compared this picture to "The Dark Knight". ???????????????? Ok, lying to your audience is one thing, but lying to yourself and just cause you suckered Bale to do your vanity project and comparing yourself to Alfred Hitchcock???? Even Michael *****e-Bay's gotta be having a field f***ing day with this.

-so sayeth the mastermind-

Looking at this movie, I really feel upset. I couldn't see it when it came out because it was sold out, so here it is on dvd and now that's I've seen it, I feel like the T-1000 took a sword to my face. How did this happen? The first Terminator was good in the sense that it was groundbreaking with Winston's effects and the story was good. It was deep down among the violence and effects, a love story. Not too lovey dovey, but realistic. Also the drama of having an unreasonable thing after you with only one goal was pretty damn scary.

T2 was just amazing. Great special affects, great acting, storyline was damn good, and the ending actually choked me up.

T3: Evil terminator, is a hot chick, with boobs. Women who kick ass are in style now, so lets have one on screen fighting Arnold. The only thing I liked about T3 was the ending when John and Kate were in the bunker talking to the other survivors.

Salvation was just, it was. This was no terminator film at all. It was a madmax/iraq war movie mixed together with robots. Worthington's character would've been better as the villain. Worthington looking for a second chance as good of an actor as he was, in the director's cut where he beats up the attempted rapists, that's what he should've been, a killing machine. Anton Yelchin did great as Kyle, but his screen time was way too short, the character of Star was lame. The editing was confusing as hell, one minute 80s Arnold is beating Bale's ass, then the next time you see Bale, he's peaking from behind the corner like a swat officer in the next second.

The story would've worked better if it was frankly, just Reese on a mission to find his savior/unknown father. Also, how does skynet know of Kyle Reese fathering Connor before he's even sent back? Wasn't the whole point of Terminator that John was kicking ass and skynet sent a T-800 back to stop him from being concieved? So now the timeline is screwed up and Bale was barely in the film. Worthington got more attention then anyone. I also got the feeling that Worthington should've been cast as John due to all the screen time he got. The film was about Connor, not some former deathrow inmate walking around in 2018. I hope Mcg doesn't come back for another movie. Even how Connor got his scar was pretty weak.

^ Agree. While at least it was a watchable and entertaining film, it certainly could have been so much better. How come McG landed his hands on this project in the first place? Prior to this picture he didn't have a credible, decent project in his resume.

 

[Rishi]

Neither did Jonathan Mostow... he hadn't even seen T1 and T2

There's worse than that too, there's a seaside resort, and Terminators washing windows and cutting the grass. Seriously.
And more F&B humour:

I watched my Blu-ray last night and I must say that I enjoyed it a little bit better this time around than I did in the theaters.

I will agree that a majority of the film does seem more like a typical post-apocalyptic war story than it does a continuation of the franchise but overall I still like the movie very much.

For me, it really starts to feel like a "Terminator" film when John reaches Skynet. The 3rd act of the film, hands down is the best part since there are so many similarities to the past films, especially Camerons first two. And I must say that there was something very cool about seeing an adult war-hardened John Connor facing off against a T-800. After 3 movies of hearing and being told about the "legendary" John Connor, we finally get to see him in action...well, up until he gets impaled.

In the theater I came out giving it a 7/10...now? A solid 8.

That's just horrible...I could write better than that in my SLEEP.

 

[Legion]

I can't believe someone got paid to write that.

Tell me about it. It really pisses me off that I have WAY better scrips sitting around, but can't get anywhere with them because apparently I haven't kissed the right backsides.
