Seven Pounds - Will Smith is very good in this;
Night At The Museum 2 - Average and about what you would expect froma sequel. Hank Azaria was okay. Pity they didn't use some of their special effects budget on a decent script.

Aye? You're not a true blue Terminator Fan then, I went and saw it yesterday and it was f**king awesome, There was never a boring bit in it.

Terminator Salvation is an awesome movie 5 Stars.

I love the Terminator series. Particularly the original (everyone loves the second film more, but I reckon the thought of Arnie trying to kill you is so much cooler than Arnie protecting you).

I am also a big Christian Bale fan.

But I thought the film was boring. Predictable, unoriginal and, dare I say it, pointless. It didn't really add anything to the legacy of Terminator imo.

I really enjoyed Terminator Salvation. Probably not as much as 1 or 2 but it was way better than 3.

Also thought it added some to the story. I always wanted to see more of the humans fighting against the machines.

Bale phoned that role in big time... if you closed ur eyes and listened to the movie you would of swore you were watching Batman...

Still really enjoyed it... thought it did the best it could with the difficult time travel story...

Worthington was great, yeah.

I thought Bale, who I'm a fan of, was in cruise control mode.

The kid who played Kyle Reese annoys me.

But overall I just thought it was dull. Great action sequences, but the story was meh. My only genuine moment of excitement was seeing the T-800 emerge (for obvious reasons I won't spoil). Even if it did look too computerized.

T3 was abysmal.

I just felt the way the story unfolded was boring and predictable. Every major moment in the film you could see coming a mile off.

You could have taken the term "Terminator" out of its title and it would have been any other generic action flick.

Hahahaha nice spoiler block!! lol

I know what ya mean... i mean its a film directed by McG.... couldnt of expected much more then an action film through and through...

But I thought that as much as they could of done with it they could of also done a lot worse... it was kind of a happy medium...

Saw T: Salvation on Thursday. Enjoyed it for what it was and Bryce Dallas Howard is phenomenal eye candy.

Agree it wasn't great, but thought it was above OK.

I expected a park your brain in nuetral action adventure and that was what I got.

I thought Terminator Salvation was okay as an action movie, the writing was poor though.

I thought the actors did a good job with the sub-par screenplay.

Bale was fine. I doubt he was in cruise control, he's a method actor, you could even notice him talking and acting similar to John Connor in interviews for The Dark Knight because he was in the middle of filming TS.

The writing was the problem with that character (and the other characters, but to a lesser extent). John Connor wasn't even a leading role in the original screenplay; Bale was originally asked to play Marcus (which is why Marcus gets as much if not more screentime than JC). They were doing re-writes on set to get him into more scenes and it shows, the character has no depth.
