I'll Be Back

Rating: 8/10 (21 May 2009)

HBCU247.com writes I should first say, I can't believe this movie is rated PG-13 because from what I saw it looks to be a little on the R-rated sidebut that's just me. This movie is a fresher, hipper installment to the Terminator series with its Ducati-bots, sexier – deadlier T-series (which could be either good or bad), amazing cinematography and graphics, and terrific actors like Christian Bale who made a very convincing Resistance man. Plus, who doesn't like a little eye candy in their movie (I'm referring to Australian-born Sam Worthington). With familiar names such as Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin) and familiar faces such as the original cyborg assassinyes you remember his lines, "I'll be back" and "Hasta la vista, Baby." There were a few scenes in the movie that were pretty predictable, but all-in-all this was a highly exhilarating movie. Then there were scenes that made you wonder about the power of choices, whether your decision is based on your environment and how you were brought up or whether it is something more internal-more biological. I'm a fan of Moon Bloodgood (Journeyman, Pathfinder), Common, and Anton Yelchin (Star Trek, Charlie Bartlett) acted well together, but weren't given the best of lineat times it seemed almost corny. But I still stand by that this movie was GREAT as great as the first Terminator!
