critics don't have a clue........

Rating: 9/10 (26 June 2009)

OK i just watched the movie and i seriously liked it.after i walked out of theater i was thinking why movie was so much critically panned.lets face it every movie cannot be great but from a common moviegoer perspective and a follower of terminator film franchise this one was quite good and i say good enough to be mentioned in same breath with other two movies of the series discarding the third one. Plot of the movie was simple and intriguing.it was easy to follow and some might say thats predictability of storyline but i say thats where the screenwriters and director have got their act right.one of my apprehension about the movie was plot may be too convoluted that might have triggered such a backlash from the critics but that certainly wasn't the case. Much of the criticism have been directed towards Christian bale for giving a ranting loud angry performance but common guys think straight.This guy is playing the sole hope of human race.everything depends upon him and he needs to get his act right.he has to mean business and here business is quite a serious one of protecting his people and bringing down the sky net.of course he cannot crack jokes wink at others pretending its just another fine day.he has to look like a guy on mission having unwavering determination towards his goal n Bale succeeds in doing that.anyways bale has to be one of the finest actor of his generation and he shows his class here. Sam Worthington was truly worthy of the role because he played it with almost genius .truly a character with whom audiences can relate as both are thrust into a unknown world post judgement day.he carries the mantle of a protector/terminator as good as Arnold did in other movies.he certainly grabbed attention and sometimes overshadowing other in his presence. Anton yelchin did justice with his role of young kyle Reese.his vulnerability and still the determination to earn a place in coveted resistance should have won hearts over. Action is the high point of the movie with truly remarkable special effects and giant robots.action was properly paced neither too mind numbing no too less.MCG direction was cool and some of the shots n cinematography was breathtaking. at last i don't know which movie critics watched but i know for me the movie that i watched was worth my money n worth my wait.
