Major DISAPPOINTEMENT: Bad Director / Script / Shaky CAM

Rating: Null/10 (26 May 2009)

i just saw it today and unfortunately it was a MAJOR LETDOWN from the very beginning. Here a the facts and my opinion:
CONS ====

Instead, of having John Connor remembering and explaining to us what happened after the nuclear blast / judgment day.. the movie abruptly starts showing us Marcus a prisoner who will get soon executed. Then suddenly the camera flip out of nowhere to Conor jumping in a big whole in the battlefield ... + the camera jumps again to connor walking in a tunnel with no explanation

shaky camera

80% of the movie used close-ups to faces, objects and non-necessary objects such as the foot/ fingers of the terminator = This removes the suspense and significantly degrades the quality of the movie to me. - Another thing bad in this movie were the quickly filmed DAY LIGHT SCENES = they seemed non realistic (especially the terminators) and they provided no chills / suspense to the audience. T1 and T2 were shot mainly at night = giving it an amazing feel of fear e.g

Many many scenes had no transitions or meaning and therefore didn't make much sense in the development of the story since the director never took time to explain beforehand how was the story evolving = failure

moon bloodgood sucked big time and the love story btw her and the Terminator was a joke. People were laughing the theatre especially in the scene where she tells him "I need human/body heat" to keep her warm. no really first the acting in THAT SCENE was plain BAD and second that line even made it more look like a comedy.

the ending was really a joke/ comedy, since when a heart transplantation can be performed that easily from Marcus to Conor? How could have Conor survive such a wound that went from his back and out of his chest.. not only his heart would be damaged but his lungs too.

terminators are BARELY shown for 2-3seconds before the camera switches to Conor or other persons. What do you have to CUT the hell out of a scene while its ALL about viewing the damn robot!!!??????? why would anyone care seeing the foot, finger or even the left arm of at terminator? T1 and T2 showed the T-800 and T-1000 for long minutes and we all appreciated the distant plans ... observing them run, shoot in full motion - but why did you have to KILL that in T4?

The helicopter crash scene with Conor was horrible = the camera was too close to the helicopter not clarifying how it was attacked and by what it was attacked.... really poor directing.

+ Seeing Arnolds face and fight for 1-2 minutes was a relief.. but the joy didn't last long until they screwed it up at the end again.
PS: James Cameron should damn you all for what you have done to the Terminator Series. What a SHAME! For me as well the series starts at from T1 and ends at T2 thats it.
DO NOT PICK McG again for Terminator 5 else I am not seeing it.
OVERALL SCORE: 2 / 10 =============
