[QUOTE="IZoMBiEI"][QUOTE="Dr_Brocoli"]*shurg* i liked it. Its number two for the T series for me with T2 being the best:)legend26

wow you liked it better than T1? The thing that bugged me most about the movie is that no one was really dying except that one guy that tryed to run from the camp. In T1 the terminator would just punch right through someones stomache when he wanted to kill someone. In this new movie they just throw people around. lame. felt more like a kid's movie, but I guess thats what you get withj a pg-13 terminator movie :/

by todays standers T 1 AND t2 ARE PRETTY MUCH PG13 -__-

i mean take out the sex scene and afew other scenes and T1 was a pure pg13 movie

nah the standards havent changed, the previous movies were much more violent, and a lot of language. the new movie has a lot of shiny explosions but no one getting killed. and of course no nudity and language.

Blame that one on movie execs. In fact i imagine they've ruined a good portion of this movie in demanding that it be a PG-13. They probably had to cut a lot of stuff.

It was good as mindless action movie, less so as a Terminator movie. My biggest problem is how neutered the machines were - I understand the movie is rated PG-13, but they manage to kill one or two dudes through the course of the movie, and despite being armed with massive miniguns cannot hit a stupid six year old girl as she runs around like a moron. Some dangerous machines they are. My favourite touch was the song Connor played to lure in one of the bikes, since (if memory serves me) it's the same one he and his friend blast on the boombox in Terminator 2 on the way to the arcade.

[QUOTE="omfg_its_dally"]I saw it on Friday and thought it was pretty good. It was certainly no T1 or T2 but it was a lot better than that T3 garbage. I don't know what the critics mean about no compelling characters because I thought Marcus Wright was a very compelling character. I hope they can bring him back for T5. Overall I give the movie 8/10. Better than Wolverine, but not better than Star Trek. _en1gma_

ONLY Sam Worthington did a decent job here.

Anton Yelchin knocked the ball out of the park. Against all expectations, he WAS Kyle Reese.

In all honesty, Return of the King was far more bloody and violent than The Terminator. Go back and watch the first movie today, and most of the kills either take place just off-screen or have very little if no blood. Now that certianly doesn't address the profanity or the sex scene. But just as far as VIOLENCE goes, the first movie was actually quite tame. I have absolutely seen PG-13 movies get away with more violence and gore.
