Total Disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (11 June 2009)

Let me start by telling I was 8 when I first saw the Terminator from a German pirate copy. It really shocked my! It was thrilling, exciting and shocking, especially at the end, when the machine rose from the fire. I couldn't let my parents sleep for a week, as I had nightmares. :) The second part was also thrilling, exciting and shocking, but in a different way. Anyway, I loved them both, that's why I found the third part very disappointing. But the nature of the Terminator remain the same: kill the target. That's exactly what I missed here. They mixed everything! They have some parts where I had the feeling I was watching Transformers 2. Then this idea of human terminator... what?! How can a heart operate a machine?! Heart runs blood, but this machine had no blood at all! Maybe oil? If so, how could they give this heart to John Connor?! Then this concept of time journey... It reminded me of the theory of chicken and egg. Which one was first? The story of 84, or really, John has to send Kyle back? Why Kyle? If they send Kyle back, than it has to be a totally different future, no matter what happens to Skynet. BTW, why was Kyle at the top of the blacklist of Skynet? What did he do? It was so confusing for me, seemed no sense. Nor in the attack of Skynet. Why didn't they "terminated" John and Kyle? They were both there. Instead, they fought with them a lot. Crazy. Finally they left the place without any problem. No terminators shooting them or anything. They might have had some refreshment drinks while taking off... ;)
Personally I had the feeling some guys just planned to earn some money using the old myth of Terminator created by James Cameron. The last two parts including this 4th one are lack of spirit. I just couldn't enjoy it. :( The main phrase here is "everyone deserves a second chance". Well, I would say this new version of Terminator DOES NOT! McG should make up their mind, I think. If it were only a simple crime movie, I would have enjoyed it, but as it was part of the Terminator series... Shame on them. :(
At least, I really appreciated the joke of the young Arnold Schwarzenegger... ;)
