Love the movie, HATE Opie's kid.

Rating: 8/10 (18 October 2010)

I sat this one out in the theaters. I heard all the haters cry about it, but knew I'd see it eventually. I finally saw it on my sweet ass Samsung and in BluRay. I really REALLY like this movie. It's much cooler than the last 2 films. I know that, for many a geek, T2 was the equivalent of Star Wars for anyone younger than 14 when T2 released. But I hated that movie then, and my hatred has been justified over time. T2 sucks for the same reasons the last 3 Star Wars films sucked. Garbage dialogue, horrible acting, and the pussification of iconic villains. Directors who ruin their masterpieces should be forced to sponge bathe lepers in Calcutta.
In "Terminator", Arnold was terrifying and BRUTAL. In "T2" he's a fecking truck- stop t-shirt. He's C3PO with biceps. And if I could go back in time, I'd beat James Cameron with a tire iron for thinking the banter between Arnie and Furlong was hip. It's nothing but insufferable assholery.
But 'Salvation' is down and dirty and the cast is superb. EXCEPT for the moon-faced daughter of Ron Howard. She's awful. And for such a throw away role, anyone could have played her. Why must we suffer watching the children of billionaires while they work out their "acting chops"? Seriously, I cannot express in words how utterly distracting that moon-headed Ginger is on screen.
