Terminator: Salvation (Esspecially after that last movie! hey-o!)

[Nique]

Apart from the indecipherable mythos of this time-traveling series, this film was pretty awesome. Great preformances all around, although it was sort of weird having John Conner not really be a character anyone could really sympathize with as he's really not supposed to be just another soldier.

Bale just sort of played him as too much of an A-Hole IMO. I mean, I can understand WHY he's a jerk in the movie - but the scenes where he expands on the non-jerk aspects of the character weren't as convincing as when he was shootin' himself some terminators. And, I mean, really? THIS guy is the rallying point for humanity after the machine revolution? So, Marcus was really the favorite character here.

I did sort of feel underwhelmed, but that happens with a lot of action movies. Partly to blame for this might be the time between films which sort of makes the continuity just seem too fluid for us to even want to care about.

Thoughts?
