There's nothing salvageable here

There's nothing salvageable about Terminator Salvation.
The first Terminator movie was good, ground-breaking even. It was an excellent concept.
The second was extraordinary (one of the best films ever made). I literally get an increase in heart rate when I think about certain scenes from that movie.
The third Terminator movie was alright. It didn't capture the magic of T2, but it didn't disappoint either.
The fourth Terminator film was depressingly bad. It was nothing more than a monstrosity of loud, pointless noise and desperate overacting. Why did John Connor need to shout every single word that came out of his mouth? Even when the person he was talking to was right next to him and there was no need to yell? This was so annoying.
The plot was ridiculous; the characters were weak. I hated it. It simply Terminated itself. Two out of ten.
