Terminator Salvation has renewed my interest in the Terminator films and lifted the series up a notch or two again. There seems to have been a lot more interest shown in making a good film with some iconic value this time around and not just going through the motions. The third film didn't seem to have those iconic people or moments that a viewer ...  Read the complete review

I really dont know what to say about this film, but one thing is for sure, it is the best Terminator they have made, and not just Arnold wasnt in it. The fact that he wasnt in it brought a sense of fresh air to this blockbuster. Before I went to see it, I read a couple of reviews on the Internet, and to be honest I wasnt really expecting much, ...  Read the complete review

So I finally got to see the fourth instalment in the Terminator franchise, having been warned off against it. The reviews weren't exactly glowing, and my friends didn't exactly entice me with their luke warm responses. Carrying on plot points first hinted at in the earlier films, this one begins with a low key scene of capital punishment early ...  Read the complete review

This is quite a strange one, as Terminator as back with a bang and its not the Terminator films we are used to. It is clear to see though that this is what tempted Christian Bale to take up the role of John Conner, as he wanted to push the story on and bring to screen what the original films suggested was coming. This film is directed ...  Read the complete review

Terminator Salvation is watchable but unfortunately does not push the movie franchise further in the right direction in my opinion. Yes there is some better special effects as time has moved on in film making but it's all quite standard actually and disappointing more imagination was not put in to a post nuclear war future. The addition of the ...  Read the complete review

I wanted to like this film. Christian Bale is a great actor, and I was excited to see him as John Connor. Sadly, I struggled with it the whole way through. The problem, for me, was the plot. For whatever reason, it's really hard to follow. It doesn't help that some is set in the past, some in the present, and some in the future. I think you need ...  Read the complete review

Don't dispare about the bad reviews, it is a good film! This is the start of Terminator in a way. It is the first film where we see the war fully. There is a bit of a issue with the fact that these robots should be advanced killing machines, and should not really miss by a mile. But apart from that, its good. There are some tense moments, and it ...  Read the complete review

Terminator Salvation - This is just the best film I have seen in a decade! John conor makes the perfect hero in this fast paced action thriller. I was on the edge of my seat as these all new fantastic terminators chased John down. Christian Bale plays an amazing and absolutley gorgeous John. I thought the script tied in perfectly with both T1 ...  Read the complete review

Are you a huge fan of the Terminator films/franchise? Well Terminator Salvation delivers on Effects (both Visual and Sound) and that's really about it. One of summer blockbuster of 2009. This film however suffers from not enough character development although I think the director McG was on the right track, but needed a tighter script and story to ...  Read the complete review

Terminator Salvation is not Terminator plain and simple, so long as you watch this not thinking of Arnie and the 80's then you should quite like it. It's very action packed, with bullets flying all over but the storyline is rather broken and piecemeal. It feels as if the script was rather cobbled together using the original story of Terminator ...  Read the complete review

Given that Terminator 3 was pretty dire I did not expect too much from this film however it was a lot better than I expected it to be, still not as good as the first or second one but a much more fitting addition to the series non the less. The big question was whether a Terminator film could work without the prescence of Arnie and to ...  Read the complete review

This review will give my insight into the film, give a brief description about the plots and the characters, what I felt about the ...  Read the complete review

Batman as John Connor. Bale does reasonably well in my opinion, a bit wooden at times but he is very much suited to the action hero role. I loved the hijacking of the evil motorbike, and riding away to save the day, but considering the fast reflexes they had in the car chase scene, it was hilarious that the evil ninja bike was defeated by a length ...  Read the complete review
