28th on all cinemas? Maybe the production wanted to push ahead and release it earlier and ,taking the banner down and replacing it would be costly, im sure some places will be releasing the day before say 10pm 20th May.
*
28th may is for Malaysia dateline. dunno if it releases earlier. but usually it will release on 27th night for the first time.
much reviews said this film is a top-notch action, intense film of the year but lack of story build. and john connor seems to over-serious and not to charater development (which is bale)
lastly, better than T3 (that's what i wanna hear!)

May I ask in this T4, is it like T1, T2 or T3 tat a terminator will protect John Connor kind of similar story? Otherwise, i feel it will like a boring movie.
*
it was a war film. what boring? you wan see arnold's perut boroi again? flex.gif this is a new start. sure people would wanna see this film

QUOTE(QuickFire @ May 19 2009, 11:13 AM)
14% at RT with 7 reviews.

cant say I'm surprised.

*
i'm not surprised at all. now at 25%, a film directed by McG, not JJ Abrams or cameron. we'll see.
but between the positive and negative sides, it was now 50-50. other people said they loved it much, other say it sucks to the ground.

but im here to advise you, be4 u watch this film, you better watch the previous films (and novels if necessary) because majority of the reviewers are not so keen with the terminator story. they came to the cinema and expecting a protector-to-a-boy film. that's why the negativity sides is super stupid on their statements rclxub.gif

9 more days to come!

you see what i mean? people really loved salvation. only the critics misplaced it as 'reboot film'. hello? it ain't dark knight or star trek. it is still a sequel.
one of the most stupidest reviews i ever read= "the film lack of humour"

so, you need humours like T3 hah? go watch T3 la. this is war, war is dangerous!

I think there's one scene when John Connor said "I'll Be Back" to his wife. laugh.gif It's in one of the TV Spots.

no. it's not in the scene but it was in the film tongue.gif
to be honest, this film had much references. you guys had to watch T1 and T2 to catch more of it.

ok. hardcore T-fans are angry rite now, but in a small amount. still, wait for tomorrow and so on to see how they react. and also, about the critic, it was 50-50 rite now for positive and negative sides. while rottentomatoes rated it 36% rotten.

damn.

i wish T4 game had FC3 game element (open-world, gorgeous world to explore)

yeah, been thinking a lot today. why would malaysia been premiered on 28th may since our country had tons of pirates base. it is stupid, and most of all, i am sick and tired of waiting! why don't release it now???
damn!

ok. majority of hardcore t-fans loved the film and gave the film 7 or 8/10. they praised for making a new start for the war, but they didn't like the editing, the sound, the character much.

but so far, this film pwnes T3 (which ALL OF T-FANS HATED IT). so that's a great one on my book. but on rottentomatoes rated at 33%? that was, ridiculous. they was expecting more of those jokes from T3 (u kiddin' me?). why they didn't understand? do we need jokes and humor in a war situations?

why? star trek not that good? you're lucky because it was a reboot film. rather than T4, it was a prequel and a sequel combined. as for the waiting, I CAN'T WAIT!!! 28th, please move faster!

You really are on a crusade against the critics arent you? What happens if you agree with them when you have actually seen it?

And no, not every Terminator fan hates T3. It was skimpy on plot and development (apart from the last act), and good in its action... which is all I'm hearing about the new movie too. I'll be pleased if Salvation is on par with T3. At least that movie has Arnold in it, and any Terminator fan who's worth his salt knows Arnold embodies the very Terminator spirit! And hardcore fans definitely do not download camrips of their beloved franchise.

Also, T2 probably had as much humour as T3.
*
yes, not all t-fans hated that T3. i liked it also doh.gif
i think T2's humor was balanced with it's action element (T3's waaayy stupid ones, it makes the T-X and t-850 looks super dumb).
plus, maybe im way to overreact on the critic, so i better zipped my mouth out till it's released sweat.gif sweat.gif

chillout, di*kwad....

But this is different. Adult John Connor should never EVER utter lines like 'No problemo' (if true) and I just finished the video game on the PS3, if the dialogue is anything like the game, the scriptwriter needs to get shot.

i heard that game got tons of bugs, and wtf? 3hrs of storyline? sweat.gif
but im gettin' that stuff anyway.

this film is great. does it topples t3? hell yeah. does it topples t1 and t2? still did not cut it. but hell, it's a good film, 30% rottentomatoes aren't agreedable. 9/10 for this film and T3 for 6.19293/10. T1 and T2? 9.9/10
but still, the film had much of a bad cut. i blame WB for that. and this film feels to clean, where's the bloody gore?

about that kyle recognizing skynet stuff, the police department have a record about john's father so maybe skynet finds that he is his father.
man, gonna watch it again, tomorrow.

I remembered I was in Japan in 90s watching T2...over there they even give you nice T2 booklets and goody bag...and best thing is, if you are in the Cinema hall, you can watch all movies the whole day without paying extra, but of course need to check a simple screen for seat availability.

In T2, watching Arnie taking out his shotgun from the roses was like poetry in motion.
I cried watching Arnie going into that molten furnace with his thumbs ups.
T1000 was just awesome.

In T1, Linda hamilton's life was hanging by the thread right till the end.
A lot of blood and F words just make things interesting and funny as well.

What happen to all that in the newer Terminator movies?

I think better treat T4 as a fresh movie and do not refresh yourself with watch T1,2and 3 prior to watching T4....Its hard to beat Arnie and James Cameron at their own game...you'll be disappointed.
Actually, since you mention it....for me Star Trek was the better movie.....only thing is it lacked imaginative ideas in dealing with enemies that made the movie series so watchable...but due to the characters are so young...its forgivable.....it was only OK for Terminator Salvation...but thumbs up for Star Trek. And bad news is, I'm not a Trekkie fan.
End of the day, there was 30 pages built up to its release, I think hopefully, not another 30pages to discuss its shortcomings....

Same like cloverfield..the was a lot of discussion before and after the screenings.....but for me cloverfield rocks...
*
agreed, those t1 and t2 are super damn awesome film. it will never been beaten to the new film. those film also was well-edited, well-designed and well-story'd. it's jim, he was a smart-as person whistling.gif . his new film like Avatar ain't just planning like 1-2 days and then boom, we start film. NO

QUOTE(ChrisWeiYuan @ May 29 2009, 07:18 PM)
the movie is mainly acted by the Arnold.
i mean 1 2 and 3..
but when i step into the cinema..
watching T4 for 2 and the half hours..
arnold is just out for few second..
seriously speaking, without arnold..
terminator wouldn't like terminator as before..
is just like he is part of the movie..
he cannot be left up..

moreover..
is kinda contradict that..
in T4..
T-800 is being so tough and strong compare to the T2 and T3..
this is really really very....
fake i should say..
overall, i will prefer Marcus Wright the character rather than John Connor..
he is really doing his part..
and i really love him so much..
he didnt get control by the Skynet when he is given a second chance..
instead, he knew what he wants and he knew what to do to save the Human races..
i suppose Marcus Wright the character is over-taken Arnold as the terminator..
overall
i rate this show a 8/10
Christian Bale did his job very well too..
well done...
*
seriously? you had something on your eyes when watching T3? arnies old. he looked stupid on T3 and so does T-X. seriously, if somebody remember this stuff then they know what kind of T3 would be like. its director wants more jokes and humor than actions on T3. that's why the terminator look so dumb and obvious doh.gif
but as for arnie's fan, they didn't even care about arnold's age. they want their actor to star on the terminator, then they can sleep flawlessly.

i think t-800's strength is true. it was hard to terminate. a bullet won't kill those stuff. T1's t-800 was damaged because of the collision with the truck while T2 is damaged by the true-power of t-100 while T3 got the t-800 shot with a powerful weapon by T-X.

lol, watch this film for 2nd time and i liked it even more! wink.gif

lol in 2018, skynet was still, a baby i might call it a baby. only a baby in an age of 0 who had the capabilities of walking (did you get what im talking about)
T3's full of jokes. salvation's terminator was more realistic shocking.gif .

but i have to agree with the lack of character development and story of this film. and also, the edit of this film, it's horrible. watch the film if you don't know what i mean.

just watched it today. the movie blows! McG u suck! boo! hiss!

and johnkorner blows! acting so emo and all..  yawn.gif 
the only things i like about the movie:

- Sam Worthington. he's so cool. i would've been ok if johnkorner DID die instead of him..  doh.gif

- Moon Bloodgood. this girl is FINE. a shame there's no tits or sex scenes..

- T-800. sigh i rly miss seeing the big guy in action..

- the special fx looked good. the wasteland, the terminators, the Hunter Killers, mototerminators..  biggrin.gif
after the ending, i don't give a rat's ass about the dumb war anymore. this movie made me realize that the Terminator movies were essentially about scary robots running after the heroes. that's what made it fun. not the case with this movie..  doh.gif

i guess some stories are better off just left imagined. funny. i felt the exact same way about the Star Wars prequels & Clone Wars..

same here. i pay my respect to the terminator franchise by watching T4, not T3. t3's full of jokes and humor and should not be seen in near times cause it made the terminator looked lame and dumb. T4? phew, one of the most dead serious film in 09' i can tell. although it utilize a bad edit and does not have characteristic background, but i still loved it and definitely will watch it for the 3rd time.

what's the most important thing? a good replacement for T3. that's all. majority of t-fans were pissed because of that hillarious film. it made arnold looked dumb, it made the tx look beauty and dumb at the same time.

McG's gone far from it. at least to see skynet's time machine is ok but travelling it into 2011 was waaayy overreacted!
he ain't thinking bout the fan, he only thinks about money!

but putting some robert patrick would do. but not by travelling back!
