Dumb, Dumb, Dumb

Rating: 1/10 (27 June 2009)

Only a very very stupid person could enjoy this film. What were they thinking!! Skynet captures John Conner's father, knowing who he is, and ... um ... captures him ... so he can escape. Why not, um, I dunno, vaporise him?? That would make sense, right?!?! Terminators, robots designed by robots to kill humans, can be disabled by a knife, or similar pointy object, to the back of the head. WTF?!?! Were they designed by microsoft? That's a pretty huge design flaw if you ask me. And why do terminators like to play wrestler when dealing with humans ... throwing them through walls and stuff?? Wouldn't they just, I dunno, take your head off with one punch, given they can punch through walls and stuff? And the bit where the good terminator kills that flying tracking machine thing with ... wait for it ... a tire-iron!?!?!? Again, why is Skynet, a super-intelligent, self-aware artificial intelligence, so crap at machine design? Why, for instance, did Skynet decide to include external controls on the motorbike terminator robot things so John Conner could nick one and ride it around? You'd think a self-aware killer motorbike wouldn't really need handlebars.
There are many, many other plot holes and inconsistencies, and just plain stupid things, in this film that I can't be arsed getting into. Though, rest assured, this film exemplifies the utter contempt that Hollywood has for its audience these days. They seem to think that if they spend a lot of money on a film that we will watch and enjoy it, regardless of how inane and/or incoherent the story itself is. Please prove them wrong by not seeing this movie!!
