Re: Terminator 4 announced; movie completely different
I didn't like T3 because of the whole 'can't change the future' thing. Both because I don't believe in fate anyway, and secondly, if changing the Future was impossible, how come this was the third Terminator that Skynet had sent back to do exactly that? And the Terminator that figured this out was of a make so old that they were obsolete. And, of course, if the future is immutable why did Connor bother sending back a Terminator to protect himself? If the future is unchangeable then the simple fact that Connor is alive proves that the attempt can never succeed.

It wasn't a bad movie as such, but it still left a sour taste in my mouth after the first two.

Personally, I think I'd prefer a series based on the resistance after the War to another film, do away with the whole 'Terminators are people too' crud and turn them back into the T1 mindless killing machine mode.

Re: Terminator 4 announced; movie completely different
i wanna see Rock as the terminator. he has the muscles and mean look to be one success full robot....i think

No, no he wouldn't. That would just about destroy what little credability the film has.

T1 rocked.

T2 was a decent sequel.

T3 suck serious ass.

T4 ? My god no. Please.

I don't know. The Mummy Returns proved that he can play a decent bad guy (albeit not the primary villain) without having to say much, and that's all what Ah-nold's character in the first movie was all about, right?

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Didn't they do that exact same thing in T2 by blowing up Cyberdine? "You didn't stop Judgment Day--you merely postponed it."

Re: Terminator 4 announced; movie completely different
I thought it was "no fate but what we make" and not "no fate but what we already made and oh crap that fate is no matter what effing happens or what we do to stop it the world is going to see judgement day."

T1 was great, T2 is my favorite, T3 was a slap in my face. It'll take a miracle for T4 to regain any of the respect the first films brought to the series.

Catwoman and Terminator 3 screenwriters John Brancato and Michael Ferris completed a draft (or 80 page treatment depending on who you talk to) in 2004. David C. Wilson (Supernova) was brought on to do a total re-write based on their story.

ICK!!! Teh Horror!

but you know what I hate about the Terminator series?
The charachters are theying to change the future and the battle with the high-tech killer robots is allways wihtout witnesses (or proof).
If they really wanted to change the future by T2 and especially by T3 they should have acted smarter.
Just burst into a studio during a popular show and let Arnie cut his arm off. That way the whole world would find out in a very short while insted of of 2-3 dorks fighting alone..geez.

Re: Terminator 4 announced; movie completely different
I actually think Orlando Bloom would be a much better Terminator that Schwartz.

He is a girly man physically, but he did manage to pull off Legolas quite well (as much as I hated those ****ing LOTR retarded movies), and I'm sure if they made his skull and guts of metal, he'd manage to act it out pretty good. And because he doesn't look like he's popping stereoids five times a day, he could have quite a range regarding how he could act the merciless robot killer.

I'd pay to see that.

What? It was actually better, but only in the capacity that it somehow took the laughable premise of "cyborgs from the future" and made it ****ing awesome.

Better than T2 in terms of quality? Probably not. Better in terms of respect, ****ing A.

Re: Terminator 4 announced; movie completely different
With T3, they should have made it take place after Judgement Day and made a half assed attempt to say why it happened anyway. That would have made it reasonably consistent with the first and second ones.


I think the guy who wrote this stuff (http://www.goingfaster.com/term2029/skynet.html) should have been the one to write T3.

Re: Terminator 4 announced; movie completely different
you have to remember that t-4 will be a post apocalyptic future movie. the nukes already done flew. such movies tend to fail. only the govenator can save the film.

Re: Terminator 4 announced; movie completely different
the terminator series was complete after t2. but t3 opened up old wounds and now they have to tend to them. unfortunately their robot got elected govenor and now theyre gonna kill the series by using a different droid.

Re: Terminator 4 announced; movie completely different
Hollywood have been complete morons for the past year......

In that time, I have seen perhaps three good films. There was a time, long ago, when there seemed to be a good movie every month....  :sigh:


When series reach a 4, hell even a 3, with few exceptions it is time for them to die.
