I was seriously considering not watching this movie after seeing all of the negative reviews from people who got to preview it before the official release date. I decided what the heck and went and saw the first session when it was released. I didn't find it as bad as people were saying.
I do have some gripes though. Why kill John Connor? It meant T1 and T2 were for nothing? If they wanted Dani to be the leader they could have easily made her to be John's daughter. The same actress could have played her. It would make sense that John could end up with a Mexican wife as Sarah and John would have had to flee the USA after blowing up Cyberdine in T2. We could have seen both John and Sarah training Dani to prepare for her upcoming role as leader of the resistance against Legion. Yet this was sadly not to be. There was a lot of hype about Edward Furlong reprising his role but it just seems as if they just used a young actor and CGI-ed John's face from T2 onto him. Maybe Edward did say a few lines which were later pitch altered a couple of semi-tones as he does seem to be mumbling something in Spanish but this is hard to tell.
T1 was great. T2 was one of the best movies ever made. T3 was definitely not in the same league as T1 and T2 but still quite enjoyable. T4 I only watched at the theatre and have not bothered to watch it again. T5 I have watched two or three times. Not as good as T3 but still better than T4. T6 could have been so much better. I would watch it again one day hence why I have given it a 6/10.
