Good old McG.

State of the art effects, some amazing action sequences and, Jesus, it's LOUD... but overall I walked away feeling I'd been entertained well enough but that there was virtually zero substance behind this film.

Bale is OK in it, pretty much plays John Connor as if he's Bruce Wayne (there's one short scene on a destroyed Golden Gate Bridge where he may as well be Batman without the mask) but overall the acting is pretty woeful.

The plot thinks it's far more clever and intelligent than it really is and, bizarrely, while some sequences look like they cost multiple million dollars (and they would have), others look like they cost less than a big night out - everything set in the submarine, for example.

Unlike the recent Star Trek franchise reboot, this just didn't leave me wanting more. In fact, they probably should have just ended it with this one.

Decent enough entertainment, more violent and gory than you'd expect for a 12A, and better than T3.

I'd love to know the reason Alice In Chains somehow wound up on the soundtrack - weird.

To be quite honest, this is money making at its worst, trying to keep a selling franchise going, which I dont blame movie makers for trying, the same as any other business.

However, I watched Terminator 3 after being mightily impressed with The original and then terminator 2, but they have now started relying on CGI instead of good old fashioned stunts, and this makes it look awful, so, I for one, will not bother watching it and probably wont even buy it on DVD.

Hollywood, take note of Die Hard 4.0 that went back to basics of stunts and it showed with its brilliant action sequences, with only 1 bit of CGI that was very noticeable.

There is a shitload of CGI all over T:S, but to be fair to the film, there are also lots of genuine stunts.

I went to see it last night and enjoyed it. I took it with a pinch of salt and didn't have high hopes, but it lived up to my expectations. Thought the effects were pretty good, Marcus Whatisname was much better than John Connor, certainly in terms of acting and overall I thought it was pretty good.

I preferred Angels & Demons though, which I saw last week. Hoping to catch Star Trek and Transformers in the next 2-3 weeks too. All in all, looks like a good summer of cinema coming up!

I can't wait for Bruno, either!!

what.... angels and deamons was utter shite! dan brown is the worlds biggest moron. read a couple of his other books and from what i can tell he hears about the basics of a concept (be it science or religious) and then makes all of the details up.... anti matter bomb? what a fucking idiot!

Lol, not a fan then Vince?

I have to agree - Angels and Demons was very poor indeed, although it was marginally better than The Da Vinci Code. Looking forward to seeing Terminator Salvation though.

eh ? anti matter can be made into a bomb if you can get hold of some lol

haha no it can't. the only way to make an anti matter bomb would be to strap some to a normal bomb but even then the anti matter would be destroyed and the only dangerous thing would be the conventional bomb. thats not even getting into the fact the anti matter would have disapeared before you got a chance to strap it to a bomb

vince, you know what i noticed. there are two ways to your posts. your way, or the wrong way.
:p
it's never like "in my opinion" just, NO YOU'RE WRONG.

love it :D x

hey can't help it if your wrong

sorry kate...

in my opinion i can' t help it if your wrong...

AHA! you cracker!...

IF WE STAY THE COURSE WE ARE DEAD! WE ARE ALL DEAD!!


Such a fucking good film, loved all the references to the first two movies.

Just watched this on DVD. Entertaining, but obviously not a patch on the first two. I didn't want endless references to the classics - I wanted a classic.
