Terminated

Ok, so here I am a self proclaimed Terminator Junkie... When Arnold had to kill himself in the 1st... It hit me right where the beat in my chest comes from. When they had to freeze T-1000 I was jumping through my skin cause I realized there was a weekness to (at the time) the most bad-ass killin machine ever thought about. T3... uhhh Arnold was getting kinda old, but the special affects were pretty cool, and it had a chick kickin ridiculous amounts of rump, so ok it passes.

Now, here I am... I've got my popcorn, I've seen a couple off the chain previews. Christain Bale's in this one, Common's in it. It has to be the best one ever... Right??... Wrong. I'm sorry to say it but Christian Bale didn't bring to the terminator what it needed, an Aronld replacing Bad Ass as a hero. There was the cool new guy that was half human, mostly robot, and then there was Christian Bale who is the "savior" but there wasn't anyone or anything that lived up to what happened between T1 and T2. Sorry there just wasn't... plus there wasn't near enough violence in this one... I think something like 4 people died... Now I'm not the one for Gore Fest 09 necessarily but why wasn't this movie at least rated R. The problem here is that there were no personal deaths... the people that died were excaping in car or van so the whole van got blown up... there was non of that I'm gonna kill you just cause you happened to be on this chopper and I need it, or cause you happened to be the wrong cop at the wrong time, or not even the I like your leather and glasses give'm to me deaths... I think that's what makes this one a step below.. now like I said I'm not all about the killing, but somethings are just necessary... here we are with Machines (Skynet) that are trying to ERADICATE humanity without prejudice, and nobody really gets killed... Kinda makes it hard to swallow. Correction at the beginning a few folks die, but you don't really see how.. it just happens so then it's harder to feel anyway about it emotionally.

Despite all my ripping about death I still give it a solid B. Not great, but worth seeing in a theater. Looking forward Transformers.. it didn't let me down the first time, I'm pretty sure It'll do what it needs to this time.

Peace,
Iz
