Terminator Salvation: Review By steveh91

I was thinking finally they were going to show what this war was like. The first battle was alright. To me, in a post-apoctalyptocal world, there should have been more fights, more T600's walking around. Not just when your strolling down the street there happens to be one with a gun shooting at you. To be honest, I think McG should stick to directing music videos. It seems that that's all he's good at. I'll admit that the acting was a little better than average. Though I thought that when Christian Bale said the famous quote, "I'll be back" I was like what the hell. Only should Arnold Scwarzhenegger say that. The cameo that Arnold had for about five minutes was the only time when I was actually excited for this movie. Sam Worthington wasn't bad for the first film I've seen him in, but it wasn't amazing. I think though that Christian Bale should give up with action movies. Yes, they rake in a lot of money, but let's be honest with ourselves, when he does the Batman voice in The Dark Knight, I was thinking, okay you might wanna lay of the cigs. None of the previous Batmans have ever done a voice like that and it just sounds stupid. Back to Terminator. The art direction was pretty good on trying to make the world look like it's been through hell and back. The story I thought was strangely written. I understand the T800 incorporated with Sam Worthington, but why the heck does a girl fall in love with him. I'm not going to deny that Moon Bloodgood is extremely attractive, but it just made the story to cookie cutter like all the rest. Overall, I was let down. Hopefully when they make the next one, they'll get better actors and a better director.
