How can anyone hate this film. I thought it was a masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (5 December 2009)

Terminator Salvation The Directors Cut. A film I am very impressed with it was everything I hoped for, everything I dream-ed. Full of action and intensity. Sam Worthington is a welcomed fresh face to me this maybe the first film that I have seen him in. His portrayal of Marcus Wright was absolutely off the chain awesome...e. Marcus Wright a death row inmate who gets a second chance at life after he sells his body to science. A man who is as they say comes back more human then human. I guess the cast was told to read the book Do Abdriods Know Their Sheep while they were filming this film. The book Bladerunner is based on. Marcus Wright may be the Protagonist of this movie. It is a toss up between him and John Conner portrayed by Christian Bale. None the less I am impressed with both of these Thespians performances. They say that when a movie is shot correctly the setting is just as important as the leading stars and this film proves that in spades. The film is very post apocalyptic with many surviving people building rival colonies of vigilant thieves. Kind of like the Mad Max or Snake Plisken motion pictures. With all of the destrucion and debree as far as the eye can see, with very little left standing. Only with big giant man killing robots who's soul design is to enslave humanity. The music used in this film was awesome it took me back to the nineties with the track from Guns and Roses as well as Alice In Chains. Back in the day when grunge and alternative rock were the mainstream genre of choice. This film featured one of my favourite and most memorable film moments ever between Sam Worthington and Helena Bonham Carter. The common law Mrs. Tim Burton. Whos presence in this film adds a certain element in my humble opinion. With her resume of dark fairy tales and twisted characters on screen. Need I remind you folks of Fight Club, Sweeney Todd, Mary Shelley's Frankenstien and countless others. Anyways I got a little sidetracked their. The scene happened right at the beginning of the movie were she is playing presumably a cancer patient who asks death row inmate Marcus Wright to sell his body to science. He agrees on one condition that she gives him a kiss. He kisses her and says "Now I know what death tastes like." The film critics on At The Movies Ben Lyons and Ben Malcowits gave the theatrical version of this movie very negative reviews. Claiming this movie was unfulfilled trash with no substance. I say how dare you both. I thought this film had plenty of substance and that the films premise and delivery was completely engaging. Perhaps these fellas were just not in this films demographic or perhaps the MPAA and the mother against violence protest groups payed them off.
