I saw it. Wish I skipped it. There were more holes in this movie than the deer crossing sign near my uncle’s farm in North Dakota. I want all my money back.

The wowza action hooked me, James, but I find it hard to argue with anything else you said.

And yeah, McG’s antics are simply not acceptable when he can’t bring his A-game to an A-list franchise.

My expectations were low, and I still thought that was an atrocious piece of garbage. I was already suspicious of McG when he would go to those comic conventions and argue with the audience and make absured claims such as “I don’t know if the film will be PG-13 or not.” I even shrugged my shoulders when he denounced those that mock his name, citing it as the one he had as a boy, as if that clears up why a grown man in charge of a $150 million movie would self-apply such a stupid moniker.

But wow, what a piece of crap. Terrible performances (looking at McG, here), one of the absolute worst scripts I’ve ever seen, zero suspense, an opening that was so pathetic I almost shuddered, and not so much as one iota of respect for the series as a whole. If this isn’t the summer catastrophe, then I don’t want to see what is.

I saw the flick last night, and — honestly — I actually got tired of watching it while I was sitting there. There’s no emotional connection to any of the characters, not even John Connor. The only time the audience seemed energized was on seeing the brief Ahnuld “cameo” — which only reminded us of how good a Terminator flick could be. What a shame.

Ironically perhaps, the TRAILER for the movie was better than the movie itself. Which reminds of this:

How odd… we have Ah-nuld here in CA. Oh how I wish I could feel his absence. It must be heaven.

I’m sure I’ll still go see this if nothing else than to see the big screen booms!

McG talked the talk … but not much else.

I wholeheartedly agree…I wish I could travel back in time to prevent myself from seeing this festering pile of Sci-Fi (or Syfy…ugh) Original trash….but I should have known from the director or the abysmal “Charlie’s Angels”
