How could you not appreciate this film?!

Rating: 8/10 (25 May 2009)

I'm sorry I just read one of the critiques on this page panning this movie from the acting to the CGI. This movie far exceeded my expectations. I'm not going to say it's THE summer blockbuster of 2009 but it definitely makes the list of top 5 coming out this year. T4 was able to pick up from T3 without bringing in any of the suckage that was T3. We finally get a chance to meet a few characters that have been the foundation of the Terminator series despite their limited screen time. All around I felt that a great choice was made in casting Kyle Reese and that Christian Bale perfectly embodied the John Connor we first met in T2. Definitely not the sissy that John Connor from T3 was. The incorporation of Marcus as a hybrid between machine and human helps to carry the story and answers several questions that viewers have been asking for over 2 decades. Definitely go out and see this film and form your own opinion. But I can guarantee that this movie is worth seeing and a wonderful addition to the Terminator films. In fact, if you just pretended T3 never happened and went on to see T4 the entire movie would still make perfect sense and would only bring with it his love interest from the 3rd film. Go see it and enjoy. They bring in some great lines, and really interesting moments. Possibly the only thing that doesn't make sense is that Skynet seems to have selective hearing. But who can't appreciate a little suspension of disbelief every now and again? Make sure you post what you thought. I can't imagine that everyone will hate this movie as much as some people.
