   The title of this film makes me want to projectile vomit, nose bleed and release very loose stool on the person responsible.

   I’m actually looking forward to it.

   The only thing I don’t like is that the guy playing Kyle Reece looks nothing like Michael Biehn.

   EDIT: Wrote John Connor instead of Kyle Reece

      But Micheal Biehn wasn’t John Conner in the original, he was Kyle Reese…?

         Kyle Reese: Jai Courtney in this, he’s the anti-thesis of everything an actor is…

         John Connor: Jason Clarke, you watch your mouth! He’s damn good, knocked it out of the park in Dawn of the Apes, Zero Dark Thirty and Lawless 😛

            No real qualms about any of the other people in it. The movie looks pretty fun actually.

               I’ll see it. I wanted to enjoy Salvation, but when they went with the alternate ending instead of the original, I lost all hope in it.

               Then the USB slots in the Terminators… ugh.

               Then Christian Bales horribly wooden acting. I mean I love Bale but eurgh. Yelchin creamed him in that movie. Wow.

               Fyi: The original scripted ending, had him and Worthington on the table, being operated on at the end. John Connor DIES. They decide they need John Connor to live, so they transfer the skin from his head, to the Worthington Terminator. He will be John Connor from now on…

               Then suddenly his Skynet programming kicks in.

               Now he’s got Connors face on, he sits up, grabs a gun from Connors wife, who’s operating on him and guns down *everyone* in the room, killing everyone. Noone knows now that he isn’t legitimately John Connor.

               That was going to be the setup for the new Trilogy at one point, that Skynet is now leading the resistance into doom… and that Kyle Reese would have to save them somehow.

               Then that ending got scrapped, they went with the happy happy joy joy ending… ergh.

               Yeh Salvation was an abortion of a film. I didn’t mind 3 on its own. It was a fun movie but still not up to par of the first 2. This one looks like its decent. I’ll reserve judgement; but I’ll be seeing it I think.

   I’ve loved Terminator since the very first. Not all of them have been great but I still enjoyed them because cyborgs, robots and the idea of artificial intelligence becoming self aware / overpowering humans who underestimated the power of what we create fascinates me. Besides, explosions and guns are always fun for the ol’ eyeballs to watch.

   I’m not sure about Ronda Rousey being Sarah Connor, though. Sure, she’s a tough MMA fighter but that doesn’t automatically make her a strong female protagonist. I personally don’t think she was “all that” in The Expendables 3.

   I’m definitely looking forward to seeing this installment. I don’t care if that makes me a sucker for enjoying all of the Terminator movies – I’m the only one whose happiness I have to care about. 😀

      I liked Ninja Turtles a lot, the only thing that irritated was the needless change to Splinters origin, that’s it. I’m GLAD they changed and reshot Shredder, adding in scenes of Oruku Saki and changed having Fichtner as Shredder, made it better imho. @julesliam there is a sequel, it’s confirmed to have Bebop and Rocksteady too! 😀

            Yep Casey Jones too. After having a bit of a discussion with some mates over Casey Jones, I wonder who they could get to play him. Don’t kill me here, but seriously after his last two or three movies, Zac Effron I think would make a mad choice. He was *awesome* in Bad Neighbours. He’s broken free of the High School musical curse and he’s friggin cut like all hell. He’d do a mad job.

               Lol, See, zac efron is another person I’m a bit hesitant to let ppl know i like (and add to that, the movie “High School Musical”, but only the first one, the other two were ecccchhhh 😛 ). Plus 17 Again is another guilty pleasure. I still haven’t caught Bad Neighbors yet, but it’s on my must watch list. But yeah h, I’d totally be in for a Zac Efron Casey Jones though.

               Haha, I like how this is meant for Terminator, and now it’s become for me a Zac Efron gush fest. Barf 😉

   I’m excited. Much like new Star Wars, I don’t get all the insta-hate. It might be a steaming turd, but it might also be great/fun/whatever. It doesn’t need to equal or surpass it’s predecessors either. It could just be it’s own thing.

   Optimism, people. Not everything in the world is doomed to never live up to your expectations.

   I didn’t mind Terminator Salvation, I just liked it coz it was set in the future showing the war against the machines. My favourite bits of the Terminator movies were those scenes from the future, they need to set more movies in that time, and dump the time travel plot.

       So, I’m guessing this is the first time you’ve seen an Arnold Schwarzenegger film. Sit down son and start pumping iron. Let me tell you a tale of Predators, of T800s, of running men, of 6th days and the end of them… sit back while I regale you with tales of Twins and Juniors, of Commandos and Heat that is Red… but we’ll never mention his movie with Sinbad… we don’t mention Jingle all the way….ever. We will understand ITS NOT A TUMOR for that Kindergarten Cop… we will never question if he’ll be back, for he never deceives but only tells True Lies, even when he’s The Villain… We will never believe it’s truly The Last Stand… But when he makes a bad movie, we’ll take the Collateral Damage, we’ll accept it like an Eraser, we’ll formulate an Escape Plan… For he is never Expendable, he is a Barbarian… he is our Last Action Hero…

    I’m still capable of sitting in the cinema and watching things explode. I’m still down with that.

    And that’s all this film is asking of you. Sit back with a bucket of popcorn, turn your brain off and watch some 1980 level of explosions and one liners. I’m also happy to do just that.
