I went to see this movie yesterday and after walking out of the theater I was blown away. Although, that's not saying much, I did had some problems with this movie. I wish it had more of John Conner (Christain Bale), then of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) since he wasn't the main character. Heck, this movie should've been just made for him, and not of John Conner. I didn't know who to support, a human or a cyborg...or both? That just confuses me. No other character was much interesting then Marcus Wright. I also felt like I hate John Conner in this movie. Just the attitude he has, and the way he treats people wants me to punch him in the face. Although I like the "Terminator" by almost at the end of the film, when it's fighting John and Marcus. I can't really spoil who the Terminator looks like, but all I can say that it's mostly CGI and a different person playing him. The rest is for only you to see in the movie. Everything else is ok. I don't like Anton Yelchin as Kyle Reese for some reason. He annoys me a lot through out this movie. And the catch-phrases were annoying too, and out of place in this film. I don't know why everyone thinks Christain Bale is a much better John Conner, and I know everyone's entitled to their opinions too. But he just doesn't fit, and like I said the attitude he had didn't fit well too. But I guess it works for this film. I only see Bale as Batman, and forever will be, nothing can change that for me. When he was playing as John Conner, it sounds like he had that "Batman" voice still attached and couldn't do anything original for what this John Conner should sound like. Not saying he's a bad actor, but I don't think he went into a lot of effort into bringing this character to life. Sam Worthington was by far the only reason why I didn't fall asleep during this movie. He did a really good job. Maybe Sam Worthington should've played John Conner, and kicked out Marcus Wright. Hey, it's just an idea. The movie is already done, so I can't do anything about that.

Overall, this film had great actions. It's not better then the first two "Terminator" movies, but it's way better then the third. If you're a big Terminator fan, go check this film out. And as for me, "I'll be back." (laughs) You know I had to say that at least once.

Yeah me too. It's for the box office. For example, Watchmen was an R-rating movie and it didn't do so well in the box office. Plus none of R-rating films now a days are getting a lot of box office money. It sucks, but oh well.

Yeah it was very exciting. For some reason I just can't see Christain Bale as John Conner with his 'Batman' voice being intact in this role. I don't know, it's just my opinion though.

I have to disagree, I really liked the new Terminator movie and found it very exciting. I hope to have a review for it soon!
