McG?

Rating: 1/10 (26 July 2010)

Are you serious? Mc....G? I'm pretty sure no one's mother would intentionally name their child.... McG, so it leaves one to assume that this.... McG.... thinks he's being rather cool and "arty" and deserving of a monographicesque name. I can only think of two others with this mental affliction off hand, madonna and cher - both of which are... just.. terrible.
ON with the review. I wont lie to you, some parts of this i liked. I enjoy special effects - if there's a point to them. I was disappointed with the amount of screen time given to T600s because I liked the idea of these terminators being more primitive and having to be bigger and clunkier... but what is with those hydrobots? and a harvester? Is this a Transformers sequel? there are some very large plot holes in this movie which have already been covered by many other viewers, but I feel like I'll pop if I don't vent about them myself. the whole Marcus thing - a human/terminator hybrid. This is kinda taking a figurative dump on James Camerons original idea of a fully mechanical skeleton that needs flesh to be grown around it to infiltrate resistance camps (and time travel). Making a person into half a machine, and letting him/her keep her mental faculties... why? And if this was so successful, why bother with t800s at all?
Next of all... Christian bale? he's a worse john connor than the whiney nick stahl version. i find bale hard to watch for the simplest of reasons. his voice grates on me... He's either grunting or shouting and after watching the last batman movie i just don't feel like i can have him infecting my TV with his presence any longer.
On the plus side there were a couple things i did like about this movie. As i mentioned, the T600 is one, I would give the mototerminators a 3 out of 5 for coolness and the final fight with the Schwarzenator was what i would have expected from the first movie if it had been made with todays movie making technology. regardless of these 2 plus's, this movie gets a 1 out of 10 on the whole as it seemed to be more of a watered down mixture of the first 3 movies than a movie of its own.
And finally .....McG... are you f****ing serious?!?!?!?!?!
McG?!?!?!?!?!?!
