Eh, if I can make it through that many Bond movies, some good some bad, and still enjoy Skyfall as much as I did then I can have faith that at least a few of these will be worth seeing and may actually rank among my favorites…
Whoa whoa whoa—J. K. Simmons lights up the screen for the 30 seconds he's on it.
Occassionally some of those films are really good.
What's interesting is I remember the trailer for T2 doing the same thing. It's structured almost perfectly as a movie that you have no idea if Arnold is a good guy or bad guy until the hallway scene. Pretty much the entire ad campaign was about how he's a good guy now. Didn't ruin the movie or anything, but it…
I've watched the first three again since seeing T5. They are all so much better—hell, T5 made T3 look like a masterpiece. I bet it's almost made T4 decent by comparison, but I haven't brought myself to watch that one again…
The physics in this movie were so laughable it just blows my mind that anyone thought it was a good idea. The helicopter scene where it was falling sideways then started and just flew actually made me laugh out loud in the theater. Just godawful.
It really is stunning how different the two halves of MMBT really are—the first half is the start of one of the best Mad Max movies ever, while the second half is just completely awful.
I'll defend Predator 2 to the death—I'm always impressed with how well it rips off so many other films. Robocop 2 had the pieces of a better movie in it somewhere, but you could almost see Miller going off the rails in that movie.
There is very little chance that more of this movie will make it better, no matter who the actor is*
I whole-heartedly endorse this review. Couldn't agree more. Worse film I've seen in a theater since Transformers 2.
My first real crush as well. This makes me very sad.
I give Tomorrowland a slightly higher grade for having a coherent plot. It wasn't very good, but it was just a tiny bit better than this.
Here's a thing—-if Skynet can just possess people by touching them like it did John Conner….WHY NOT JUST DO THAT TO ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE STANDING THERE???? And everyone else left in the world? Or, if not that, then once you've possessed or taken over or done whatever to Conner then have them say "hey, we won" and…
That to me is one of the worst things about this movie. At least all of the rest had an explanation and rules for the things that happened. This movie just sends everyone all over time and explains it with "time travel hurts my head." Why on Earth would Skynet send back John Conner once it had beaten him? Hadn't…
haha I am right there with you. My only consolation is I used a free pass to see it (and am so SO glad I didn't upgrade to see the IMAX version—had I spent any of my money on this movie I'd be super pissed) and I still feel like I'm owed something. It's far and away the worst film I've seen in a theater in a long…
Oops—you are 100% correct. I think I was so mad at that point that nothing in the film made sense I just couldn't think straight anymore. He walked by all those cops and I just had it in my head it was a police station. Also, why do you suppose Skynet "corrected" the scars on John Conner's face at the end? What…
haha holy shit I had forgotten all about this awful park scene and John "fighting battles in the Senate." Yeah, that's pretty bad. The other added scenes were okay (though i totally get why they cut the dream sequence with Kyle—that was just not acted well and grinds the movie to a halt) but man oh man what a bad…
Also, the best laugh of the movie (the smile) is stolen directly from the deleted scenes of T2. https://www.youtube.com/wat…
I saw it for free and I'm still pissed off about wasting my free pass on this shit.
