Apparently John forgot that the T-800 was melted at the end of the last film.

And that Sergeant Candy scene is one of the worst thing I've ever witnessed. Worse than EPIC MOVIE and THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL combined. I don't care if they left it out of the movie. They still went through the effort of scripting and shooting it. There's no fucking excuse for that.

Then goes the humor. It sucked, can't disagree with that. HOWEVER, Mostow was clever enough to use it in the first act, and that benefitted to the movie: the cynical, anti-Arnie crowd were tamed by the tongue-in-cheek stuff and people open-minded enough could endure it for the first act and forget it as the action kicks in. Taht was a clever move from Mostow IMO.

Oh, and the ending was absolutely brilliant. Helped redeem a lot of the cheesy stuff (which was pressent in Judgement Day as well, Iron Jim is a God but he doesn't say no to a good cheesy one-liner either. You know it to be true.)

If you want to hate on something, how about saving it up for McG's inevitable green-screen with wire-fu?

Now, as for the show's quality...let's just say its lucky the writer's strike prevented other shows from going on air. This thing's a guilty pleasure all the way.

This means the combined body mass of the two main terminator's on the show is probably less than Arnold!

T3 was fun, and the ending was pretty cool. I liked the John Connor in the movie, and I agree, TV show Sarah is way better than T2's Sarah Connor.

People can bitch about T3 but they just can't, in all fairness, rob John Mostow from two things: the solid way he handles action, and above all the understanding of what T3 (a schizophrenic threequel starring a washed-up actor in a world where audience is much more cynical than in 1991) needed to work both economically and artistically. They NEEDED to appeal to the skeptical audience (hence shitty humor to suspend haters' disbelief), they NEEDED a fragile hero and a new female lead to support Arnie's character (Stahl was a good combination of frailty and survival instinct, Danes was fine too), and ultimately they made good use of these needs and came up with a movie far better than the fuckin catastrophe all of us expected. Of course it wasn't a revolution like T2, but it was a solid action movie and a good way to introduce a new chapter. Without Arnie.

So far T4 (they have to change the horrible pulp title) looks good: Bale hismelf is a seal of quality, Worthington must be good since God approves of him, and McG made no secrets about his ambition to leave screwball action behind him and gain respectability. I'm ready to give him a chance: at least by being humble and acknowledging that respect must be earned and not bought (like Hack Pack members like Brett Ratner, Tim Story or Len Wiseman tend to think with their shitty blockbusters) he made a step in the right direction. Besides, first reviews of the script are positive and the budget guarantees good visuals (without being handicapped by a megastar's undeserved salary). Smells good, people: it may end up tasting like shit but at least be honest enough to admit that it's shaping up nicely.

I think the brain donor that did Charlie's Angels is just the right level of stupid for the next pile of shit in this turd train...

but, to paraphrase a great comedy, that's just, like, my opinion dude...
