good but not good enough

Rating: 8/10 (8 January 2010)

in all honesty i love terminator, i adore terminator 2, terminator 3 is to be ignored for it's undeniable crapness, sorry but its true.
i was expecting so much more from this new film, i pretty much love Christian bale!!! he's so gorgeous and i love his films, but this let me down, its still good, but i was expecting greatness like T2! it was more Sam's film strangely, than Christian, which is strange as he is john Connor.
i enjoyed all the futuristic gadgets but really who doesn't, but i did hate the resistance leaders, annoying or what. i haven't really ever been a fan of Michael ironside, even in V he was the annoying one of the group. (off subject but Diana rules, best TV bitch ever!!!!), if you don't get the reference your either too young, too stupid, or don't actually grasp great TV and film.
i have to say i got more enjoyment out of the ride in Florida than i did out of this film, short of my perving on the fit men in it.
more about the movie: it continues the story but doesn't live up to the first two movies but far surpasses the third (but it wouldn't take much to do that). it brings some new ideas which where odd yet quite good, it made me think even with all else we had seen would that new model actually ever work, but hey, i went with it. the Arnie attempt was really good and the CGI actually looked better than in the original terminator (with the fake Arnie head as he loses his skin and cutting out his eye), it wouldn't be perfect but considering the advanced age of Arnie it was really good!!!
my great problem with this film was simply Helena Bonham carter!!!! hate that bitch, her only good role is Marla in fight club (the commentary with the 3 stars is fab). such an ugly b**ch too, (i know she's f**king Tim Burton but why must he always use her in his movies, i know this isn't his, but it needed to be said)
gotta say after watching this then avatar, i'm offically jonesing for Sam Worthington, he's hotter in this than avatar, such a good actor too.
