    I don't know, but I do like Bale, and It seems like they could get a pretty good plot going.

    All the bitching about this movie and how its gonna suck is bullsh*t.

    Do you want yet ANOTHER movie where arnold comes back from the future to save a post pubescent teen that doeant ever get layed or even close to a chick till its put in a tv show and the only person he wants is a f*ckin robot?

    Anyone who says without arnold the series is dead is an idiot. A Cameo at that is all thats needed by him in a "FUTURE" scene or a creation scene.

    At the end of T3, its simply stated......Judgement day was never gonna be stopped, but john was saved to start the FFs. This movie will skip over the whole sh*t AFTER judgement day but Im sure flash back to the aftermath much like the TV show flashed to the "FUTURE" past of John and his fighters.

    T2 is my all time favorite movie, Im 28, Ive been waiting for this movie forever. I waited for T3 forever and ever and urged my woman we had to get there early to see it on the Ultra Screen, we got there an hour early........and were only one of maybe 4 couples and maybe like 2 other guys there.

    Was it a bad movie? kinda, was it put out for the sole purpose or completing the story? YES and it did that, just rushed and lacking the effects T2 had.

    Sweet! A PG-13 Terminator movie without Arnold, directed by McG which also stars a rapper. Wait, is this going to be a movie or a music video? My guess, a huge disappointment.

    Even if you consider the fact that Christian Bale is in this or even Common (which I've never even heard of so I don't know if he's a good actor or not), you gotta admit that those two can't carry this movie alone. The bad is outweighing the good, and that's plain sad. I don't want to even see this movie anymore.

    I would like to say that I would be just as disappointed if Scott Stapp from Creed was acting in the new Terminator movie. Wether it be a crock musician or a crapper, i dont want them in movies. None of em belong there and history proves it. Sorry to get your panties in a bunch killahmovie24. If you like rap so much and believe that it has so much talent, you should'nt have to defend it and you should'nt care so much about somebody has to say about it. I see dudes are wearing paris hilton sun glasses now.

    Who the f*ck cares if he's a rapper?! I usually don't like musicians thinking they can act, but i think common's done a pretty decent job of proving he can hold his own in movies. Wasn't he going to play green lantern in jla before it got postponed?

    who gives a sh*t what background they come from? so long as they dowell in the movie they are in. we got the Rock from WWE, and i'm now a big fan of his after his turn in Doom. Common was good in Smoking Aces, and that rapper that was in "16 blocks" and "Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy" has impressed also! if they fail, then you can bash them, but till then you should shut your hole, prob with daddys ballsack!

    Please! Stop the flame wars! Everyone has their own tastes whether it be rap, rock, techno or whatever. Just stop picking fights, dammit!

    Because you know what? horroraz, you think this movie will suck, right? Killah, you think it will suck, right? Then whatever happened to "The enemy of my enemy is my friend?" We can at least agree this movie will suck, right? Calm down, people!!!

    I'm getting scared. They're throwing new "it rapper" Common in here, but I don't think they really are focusing on getting this plot straight. Just add more characters to it so people won't focus on the job the scripters did on it.

    Why is Common in this? Not that he hasn't been alright in movies like Smoking Aces, but does everyone have to use him in flicks now?
