Would have been better if it was 1 1/2 hours of Bale in a tanning bed

Rating: 2/10 (22 May 2009)

This movie sucked. Christian Bale can no longer say he only makes good movies. I went into it thinking how bad could it be despite a director who has not done anything that was good, except a decent "we are marshall." The story had so many plot holes that it was hard to follow, they made kyle reese into a pussy. you could even tell that Christian bale didn't care to be there. had a terribly cliché ending. the script was not well written at all, its like they took parts from the other terminators, and a few other movies, and just threw them into a storm called "terminator salvation." Throughout the movie I was wondering if McG is a pseudonym for Michael Bay, where he substitutes OK action, with over the top explosions and good special effects for story. the only thing that i kind of enjoyed was when i thought there was an arnie cameo until i realized it was just cgi arnie.
spoilers: -John Conner fights a terminator in the terminator factory, yet he is only fighting one on one. -the terminator t-900 has the ability to tear the t-800 model in half with one hit, yet it cannot kill john conner in hand to hand combat. -the robot that lures john conner and kyle reese to san fransisco instead of just killing kyle reese to begin with, thus erasing john conner. -john conner takes a steal girder through the middle of his chest, yet he is able to hobble and survive, somehow a large piece of steal in the center of his chest misses his heart just enough for him to not go unconscious but in need of a heart transplant. -the robot gives his heart to john conner no questions asked. what if his blood wasn't the right blood type?
this is only the last 20 min
