I am a big fan of the first 2, with both being in my top 5 of all time, but the last 3 have been much maligned. Since Genysis though debate has been which one is the worst. I personally liked T3 as an action movie, and I found Genysis quite enjoyable despite not being a good movie. Salvation I loved when I first saw it but that's gone worse and worse since re-watching it more and more. T4 is the worst for me, what does everyone else think?

I have included T1 and T2 for the sake of fairness, but my ranking goes like this:

T1
T2
T3
Genysis
Salvation
 
Tie between Genysis and 3 but I'm gonna go with 3.
 
Terminator 3 at least had a good car chase early in the movie. I literally can't come up with any memorable scene from Genisys.
 
I'm going with Terminator Salvation.

The idea behind it was great as in we'd be seeing the war between man and machine but the execution was crap.
 
Genysis, with T3 not that far behind.
 
I picked Genysis because it should've known better. It had two bad movies before it.
 
I'm going with Terminator Salvation.

Agreed about Salvation, it had such potential but they botched it. They got simple things from the mythology so wrong as well. Like getting being able to move around in the day or night the wrong way around. And the T-600 being 9 feet tall despite being an infiltration unit. I liked Worthington in the movie, and the action, but that was about it.

T3 and Genysis were less offensive to me.
 
T3 also had a super ballsy Debbie Downer of an ending.

That's true, not many blockbusters would end with the world ending. It deserves credit for that. It was also an entertaining movie to watch.
 
I actually wasn't satisfied with the ending. It invalidated everything from the first two.

It didn't invalidate the first movie, in that Judgement Day was still going to happen and there was no talk of stopping it. Saving Sarah was the only purpose in that movie. Unless you count some hints in the deleted scenes, which I don't. The movie even ends with Sarah acknowledging Judgement Day is on its way.
 
Genesys. Walked out of the cinema pissd off. At least Salvation tried something new and T3 is a guilty pleasure. Genesys pissed me the **** off.:cmad:
 
T3-4-Genisys all suck just as much as the other.
 
Salvation by far.

I could barely finish it.

T3 and Genesys are very flawed but they have a couple high points.

T1 and T2 are both classics and don't deserve to be associated with the others.
 
Salvation and Genisys are very under rated. All the people I've watched them with really enjoyed them.
 
I haven't seen Genysis, and that seems like a good thing based on its response.

From the rest I've seen, I'd say Salvation is the worst.
 
Genysis. At least T3 had an entertaining villain and Salvation had some halfway decent action scenes. Thinking back on Genysis, I literally can remember almost nothing about it, and I saw it five or six months ago.

Forgot to add: They actually managed a boring Terminator film featuring Arnie, Jason Clarke as the villain, the Eleventh Doctor, and Khaleesi.

Genisys. Awful, awful film. The Marvel formula and style works for Marvel films because the source material uses the same style. Terminator is different to that.
