Much better than the last one....


...I don't understand the hatred. Ok big deal they killed John Connor off. So what. At least this movie was a better sequel than T3. T3 wasn't horrible but unfortunately it was followed by a decent 4 and a god awful 5. Thankfully this film has erased those 3 and reclassified them.

This film felt like a better sequel imo...

Why did people think 4 is decent when it's filled with more plot holes than the potholes in Connecticut?

They have Reece on a kill-list but capture him instead of killing him.

They bring Marcus back to the Skynet facility just so he can save the two people Skynet wants dead the most.

The Terminator proceeds to throw around John Connor instead of just crushing his neck.

Dark Fate is outright stupid but to their credit, at least the Rev-9 was consistent in trying to kill that obnoxious Dani chick every opportunity it had instead of throwing her around like a reckless father giving his 9-year-old some parachute-free falling lessons.

FAQ covers some of it.

SkyNet didn't want to risk a time paradox by killing Reese and risking its own existence

Marcus resisted SkyNet's control over him by tearing out his chip implant. SkyNet also wanted to lure Connor in so it can kill him. He would be a rising star in the resistance.

I avoided this board until the film was released on dvd and i could see it.
Watchwed klast night. thoghut it was pretty good, then again , i'm not an internet warroirr determined to shit on everything.

Then i came to this board .
Just take a look at the list of topic headings - the usual bullshit.
- When did movies go "Woke"?
- YaY Mexicunt John Connor
- Oh no... women!
- women save the world???
- Why is it so in love w\ the mexican skin?
- I despise this movie for KILLING OFF JOHN CONNOR

still , hopefully theres some people here want to discuss the film rather than pour scorn on it.

Heh... and the internet still wonders why IMDB closed down their message boards :D :D

Basically if you're not drowning in Liberal brainwashing then you're not allowed to voice an opinion these days.

It would be better if the people who championed censorship were removed from society rather than the conduits of communication that sane people use to exchange ideas, even if heated.

It is quite ironic that the people who complain about the perceived loss of their right to free speech are the same ones who endorse the transition to autocracy and genocide.

Yeah, the politics in and around film has gotten worse, but the stuff in real life has gotten far worse. Honestly, it's just simpler to minimize the time one dabbles in that.

reply

Pure babble. Please explain what that means in a coherent sentence.

reply

There's been a lot more political correctness in films that it has gotten too much, and ruined some films. In real life, the politics is far worse. Just look at what we had to go through for nearly the past four years. Clear enough for you?

reply

Not really. Are you against PC. Or do you understand it?

reply

I disagree. I thought as both this movie and T3 were about equally entertaining -- which is, of course, to say both vastly inferior to T2 -- but at least T3 didn't murder the franchise by killing off the character who was built up over the course of several films to be the savior of humanity, and do so in an extremely offhand way, like they were pushing old refuse aside in order to clear the deck for the story they wanted to tell.

reply

5 was pretty crappy, but so was 4. I don't think that one gets a pass at all. Dark Fate was the only proper followup, and the best in the series since T2. I liked it a lot.

reply

THE AGE OF THE INTERNET BLOWS...EVERYTHING IS EITHER A MASTERPIECE OR DOGSHIT..NO MIDDLE GROUND...THIS WAS A FLAWED FILM,BUT I LIKED IT..LIKED IT THIRD BEST OF THE TERMINATOR FILMS...T2,T1,D.F....BOTH ARNOLD AND HAMILTON WERE WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION.

they’re all dogshit

YOU'RE A MASTERPIECE

reply

well, I try to be modest, but... you’re right

reply

im t1,t2, df but same principle.

reply

It is better than T3, 4, and Genisys. It doesn't touch 1 or 2 but it's the best of the post T2 sequels easily though not perfect. I will always wish Cameron would've just directed it himself so it would've been a forsure hit at the box office.
