Worst movie ever.

I thought it was OK.

Admittedly it could have been much better but it was good mindless entertainment nonetheless.

The movie had it's moments... but there is no strong central enemy like in the other 3 movies. Also it didn't make much sense. If Sarah Connor is leaving taped messages for John than why is he so shocked that Cyberdyne has developed terminators with human organs and living tissue. Why would she leave this information out? if the Sarah Connor that is leaving him these messages is the same Sarah Connor from all the previous movies than why does John have no memory of previous events... none of this was explained.

Did you really expect a gem from the guy who managed to ruin Charlie`s Angels?

I found it to be "F@#king distracting!"

It had a few cool action scenes, but for the most part they were fairly unoriginal. Bale was surprisingly crap. I don't know why he blew up at that dude on the set, his performance was phoned in anyway.

My one word summation.................. pointless.

I just saw it. I'm split. It does what I've been waiting for the terminator films to do since the original - go into the future. I think some of the future elements are cool especially the terminator bikes.

There were problems. Still I think this is better than the third movie.

The original was nearly perfect and I don't really expect any that follow to meet that standard. Movies that good are rare.

Terminator was never good anyway. **** John Connor!

It's all about Total Recall and Running Man!

I think what shocked him was that the terminator (with human organs and living tissue) wasn't a terminator; it was a man who believed he was a man, and he didn't know what to do with it or make of it.

Anyway, I liked the movie because it kept the suspense up: what will happen to Marcus? Will his programming kick in and cause him to fight with Connor? Will Skynet really be destroyed? Etcetera.

I thought it was pretty good. Definitely not "terrible" as some have said...

Those hovering/flying motorbikes were also on Star Trek and The Island - nothing new there.

I think the best thing about the movie was sam worthington's performance... totally outclassed Bale.

It wasnt great, and definitely didnt have a shot at living up to T1 and T2
