Extraordinary,but too fast...

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2009)

I saw the movie yesterday and i can say the movie was awesome. From the beginning to the end.The only mistake for me is that they could put some more story,more explanations and stuff.Everything was moving pretty fast and that's only thing i didn't like about this movie,but i can live with it.
Honestly i am a fan more to the second terminator than the first.Every time i see the end of T2 a tear falls.The direction,the story-telling,the action sequences--> everything was absolutely perfect.So,i was very excited hearing about this TS(after the disappointing,but not that awful T3). And then suddenly it's almost like a thunder ball hit me when i saw McG. Why the f**k McG?!!?! Who self-respected director would go by such a name..?!?!?! Charlie's Angels??!!? And now a $200 million dollars budget..??!?!?! Come on...
Then i read some of his interviews in which he states that he is working with John Nolan,Christian Bale,Paul Haggis,Anthony Zuiker and i was a little relieved.
Then i read that McG was a huge terminator fan and he wants to escape his awful reputation and i decided to give him the chance to impress me.And hell yeah .. he did.
I really can't understand all the bad press.Really. Yeah McG is not Cameron.Anton Yelchin is not Michael Biehn and so on and so on.
Now i thought the direction was very very impressive.I also prefer to see McG by the name Joseph Niccol,but in the end this is just a name.Don't hate him just because of it.He had his bad moments in TS,but most of the shots were absolutely perfect.Especially the one when i guy shouts"you brought it here" and camera rounds around Kyle and Marcus and focuses on the Harvester.The opening scene,the ending scene,the fight between Marcus and the T-800 and many many more.Extraordinary. McG fully redeems himself with TS.
The only thing i didn't like about this movie is that it doesn't have the balance between the action sequences and the story-telling like The Dark Knight for example.It moves fast,really fast.Something i don't like to see in a movie,but after all this is McG's first attempt of a big movie,so i forgive him for everything he messed up.I think that he will do a lot better if given the chance to direct T5(i don't know what more they can't think of though).
TS brought us fun,pure fun.It showed us something that the great Cameron didn't want to do,because he thought it was a bad idea "never do the same thing twice".Well,McG took a big risk and i don't think he messed it up.He made a fine bridge between the next T-movies and the end of the war.
