Way back during the 90's and Terminator 2 era, I always wanted to see what the futuristic war between man and machine would be like.

Terminator 4 was a pretty bad movie though. None of the performances were any good, and the action was bleh. Mostly, we just didn't care about Terminator anymore. I mean at the time there was a TV series and then this new movie and we already had less-than-happy memories of T3...


But who here would be interested to see yet another movie, also set during the war-time era?

It was a decent action flick. I'd pay to watch another.

T3 and T4 were abominations, and I'd prefer to not see T1 and T2 violated yet again.

I may be one of the only people who didn't mind T4 and actually enjoyed a great deal of it. Yes, it could've been better but I find it in no way worse than T3 which was decent. I know I'm going to get bashed becuase I don't agree with the consensus that only T1 and 2 are any good but I like anything that has to do with the Terminator Universe. I think the reason I liked it was because I had been waiting with anticipation for a movie set in the war-torn future and I also like Christian Bale. So to answer the question, I would definitely see another Terminator movie. I just hope it's in 3D.

I didn't mind Salvation all that much.

If another movie was made and kept to the realism that Salvation had, I'd dig it.

I wouldn't really be interested. I loved the 1st one, and the 2nd was pretty good, but since then they've been terrible. Overall it's just another series that I've basically given up hope on and hoped would die without any more terrible sequels.

Terminator 1 and Terminator 2 were great. Terminator 3 was passable.

Terminator 4 was "uninspired action movie, starring an actor who thinks he is Batman for the first half of the film".

I'd be interested if they made a movie in the spirit of the flashbacks in the first Terminator movies, but even then I'd be skeptical.

The 3rd and 4th Terminator movies were utter crap. So, no.

What? None of them were terrible movies. There were some parts of each movie I wish they changed around..(ending of salvation, random parts of T3)

No, Terminator 1 and 2 were great and those are the only ones that deserves to be remembered as part of the Terminator series.

You know why they were so great, believe able characters you could sympathise with and the non campy feeling. "Talk to the hand" really? What the hell was that director thinking? "Hey gay culture stuff is really popular and so is this whole black slang, let's have Arnie do both. I'm so smart."

Remember the flashback futuristic war scenes in T1? I would definitely be down to watch a new terminator that stays true to these flashbacks while adding some fancy new effects.

excluding #3, they have all been improvements upon eachother. T1 was great, T2 was better, T3 we dont talk about, and T4 was freaking epic super fun time

a 5th one would be awesome and, considering the fact its an action movie, its ok for the films to go on and on and on and on...

I think people have had enough. Way too many dissapointments the past decade(though i quite very much enjoyed The Sarah Connor Chronicles). I'd say leave it alone for 8-10 years maybe and then go back to revisit it to see if peoples interest come back. Kind of like what they did with Star Trek.

A Future War movie would essentially be a prequel to The Terminator. And...I'm sure that everyone here knows about the inhgerent flaws of prequels.

Bottom line is that the series has pretty much run its course. There's absolutely no need for any more movies, and it's arguable that there was no need for any more movies after the first or the second. The franchise at this point has simply become more important than any artistic merit. It's basically equivalent to like, the seventh installment of the Hellraiser series. At that point,m fans aren't watching because there's a srory to be told, they're watching so that they can see Pinhead.

Go back and watch the first Terminator. The ideas were bigger than the monster, instead the monster was just a device for communicating ideas. Fast forward to now, and anyone who wants another Terminator basically only wants it in order to see more of the monsters. It's exactly what happened to the Alien series.

So no...we don't need any more Terminator movies. If someone really wants to see a futuristic war movie with humans fighting machines, then that can easily be accomplished without bringing Terminator into the equation.

I didn't think Salvation was that bad. It wasn't nearly as good as the first 3 but it was enjoyable action flick. If another one if made I'd probably go see it.

In all fairness, that was really just an extension of what was going on in Terminator 2. When the T-800 takes the sunglasses, hops onto the motorcycle and then "Bad to the Bone" starts playing, I don't see how that's NOT campy as hell.

And the Terminator was trying to emulate people's behaviour. I don't see "talk to the hand" as being fundamentally much different than T2's "Hasta la vista, baby" or "I need a vacation".

Loved the first two, especially the second. T2 is probably one of my favorite movies around. But I was very disappointed with T3 and Salvation, I'm very unsure if I'd like to see another. If they can make it like the first two and make me feel like I'm actually watching a Terminator movie, I may watch it.

Terminator Salvation was pretty terrible, and it didn't really move the plot forward or develop any sort of suspense. It wasn't ever like the first two films where you felt the balance of humanity was truly in the hands of a few, it was sort of a sloppier all over the place romp. I think Linda Hamilton (Sarah Connor) was right to not do anything beyond T2, that was honestly enough and finished the series quite well.

No. In Terminator 2 when the terminator leaves the biker bar, we're suppose to feel he's a bad ass, not a mindless killer like in Terminator 1. The gay bar scene in "Terminator 3" was nothing more than adding comedic effect, plus gay culture at that time was extremely popular. You couldn't spit without hitting something that related to gay culture. It served no purpose other than the director thinking it was funny. I'm sure others thought it was funny too, but when I pay to see Terminator I pay to see a film that kicks ass with a serious undertone to it. The Terminator in Terminator 2 also learned later on in the film how to behave more human like. In the "Terminator 3" he pratically knows right off the bat, everything. Again, they wanted the Terminator to appear cool, I just think they treated the audience like they were idiots. And I'd like to repeat, though I know you didn't mention it. The characters in "Terminator 3" and 4 were very unlikeable and you couldn't believe in them. If there is anything I hate in films, is when they throw a random hot chick in it and she suddenly kicks ass. At least Linda Hamilton got in good shape and she looked like a true female warrior. And again, Linda Hamilton is much more likeable and sympathetic, cause she looks like a normal woman you would meet when you're outside shopping. This is the stuff modern directors just don't get, they cast pretty faces instead of normal faces. Terminator 1 was the greatest, Terminator 2 was a great follow up and the saga should've ended there. Watching a new Terminator film, would be like watching Mirko CroCop fight again. You know you want him to win and be like the old Mirko CroCop, but you also realise he doesn't have the fire anymore and some young newcomer is going to have his way with him.

I want to see what the intro of T2 had going on. If they can make a movie full of action scenes like that, add great acting and story, then I'll be interested.

Only if it was really good, they would probably need someone like James Cameron back behind the camera, but I doubt he will want to and Arnie won't be much use any more either, so I doubt a new one will work.

I enjoyed Salvation, wasn't too keen on the 3rd one. It was a bit of a rehash of the second one. Salvation was something different.
