OK film... but the ending killed it.

Rating: 2/10 (26 May 2009)

Spoiler Warning This movie had so much potential, and actually did some things well, but then the ending ruined it. First I think Marcus as the main character really worked well. I enjoyed getting to know his character, and I felt many of the early scenes did it well. I also liked how he was confused but clearly very bright and knew what to do. I also liked the later scenes where he questioned what he was somewhat and eventually rejected what he learned.
John Conner on the other hand was just a (they made me delete the word here)in the entire movie. It was clear the movie was never supposed to be about him and when Bale forced the issue all we got was crap. Then the ending was just awful. Spoiler ahead – When Marcus chose to give up his life for John I was just wanted to walk out. What an awful ending. I mean I expected Marcus to die, and I am OK with that but not to save Conner. He does not deserve to be saved in this movie. I would rather see two more movies with Marcus and very little John.
