What a disappointment

Rating: 3/10 (23 May 2009)

I have always been a huge terminator fan and always thought the future scenes were some great parts in the first and second of the series. So when I found out they were making one that was set during the war and that Christian Bale would be playing John Connor this became the movie that I was most looking forward to for the summer. The movie was going very well but went downhill every minute. There are numerous plot holes throughout the movie where the machines make terrible choices one after another for no reason other than to keep the movie going. This to me is just unimaginative writing. Skynet becomes like the Austin Powers character Dr. Evil, where instead of just destroying John Connor or Kyle Reese, it makes up an elaborate plot to kill them. I wish Skynet had a son like Dr. Evil who would just say "I have a gun in my room, let me go get it and we'll kill him right here". I think the cast did the best with what they were given but McG and the writers failed to deliver a great story, but instead just gave us some great special effects to try to overshadow the fact that the plot had more holes than swiss cheese. So in the small hopes that James Cameron might come across this message board PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIES OVER AGAIN, WE NEED YOU.
