I'm a terminator fan, watched all the movies and TV series (sarah).
It was hard for me to open my eyes at the beginning stage (after the heli crash)...blame it on watching too much terminator stuff previous night. Mid way, story picked up and end of it....nothing to shout abt. (except for the action scenes which was very good...up to todays standards).
-Tense and suspense scenes were missing...it was never like T1 where you are sitting edge of the seat, maybe there was too much of it in T4 or not executed well by the director.
-Void of humor (yes, it does matter even with a Terminator movie, T2 was great, even T3 had some humor). Now I can understand why some critics mention it.
-Infiltration to skynet was way too easy...I was thinking of nothing less than ninja skills or superman to break into skynet alone, even with Marcus help.
-Another problem is it started and ended in 2018......even in 2029, humans were having a hard time with skynet...so 2018 is just a passing year...so when are we humans gonna win the war....T5, T6 or T7?
-Thing is...why did he has to save Kyle Reese?...yes, I know its mention in T1, but think of it....John Connor is alive right?...even with his dad getting killed, he will still be alive.....how many 'worlds' are there bro?....suppose someones dad gets killed by an accident means that the child is not born?...but the child now is already been born and kicking butts. i remembered in 2029, John in still alive (but older with the scar face) fighting a war.
End of the day, after rewinding back T1,2 and 3...plus all of that sarah chronicles, come to my senses abt the whole Terminator Story and the fall of it in T4...hope they wont mess it up in T5.
I personally give it a 6/10! sorry fanz....6 because the action was good, and they didn't forget Arnie....or else its a 4/10.
I would have given an 8 if it was not rated U, with more F words, more gore, more epic battle, more hope of the survival of mankind, and i wanna clap my hands or cry in the end of the show....sadly all this was missing.
I agree with this. I had high hopes for T4 but as predicted, came out of the cinema dissapointed. I agree with you about how gripping T1 and T2 were, both release featured gritting cat and mouse action thriller - iconic scenes and memorable dialogs. No comments on T3, thought it was a forgetful all action, no substance film. T4 had some good scenes and concepts, but sadly i felt they werent executed or flowed appropriately. The more i think about what they've could done to some of the stuff in the film, the more i get dissapointed with it. The movie had a good look and feel about it, but somehow the dialogues and direction really cheesed me off. Film was predictable, but then again which Terminator film isnt - but hey if you going to 'reboot' the entire franchise might as well go for the jugular imo.

Agree with the piss cake inflirtration, here i was expecting some bad-azz defense perimeter ala the matrix, only to find out it was defended by a lone turret that was easily hacked and switched off, and a couple or so of outdated T400 on patrol. Sigh. Real anti climax for me. And the final insult was the fact that Skynet actually 'planned' the whole thing - say cheese ? - yet somehow allowed the resistance to prevail at the end ? Double sigh.
Oh dont get me started with the whole Terminator back to the future paradox. Its messed up. For John Connor to exist, he has to send Kyle Reese so he could be conceived. So somewhere down the line, he needs to send Kyle back to past doesnt he ? If not, why does it matter if Kyle dies ? So basically, Kyle gets sent back to conceive him and the whole cycle restarts again for what seems eternity. Ridiculous.
