Now...

We Are Free

Not the video I was expecting with that quote.

 

[kewlmyc]

So now the bad movies outweight the good ones. Super.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Only Spooky can set you that free.

 

[inm8num2]

I would like to thank Paramount to finally justifiy the magnificent Termanitor Salvation

 

[Exterminieren]

Poor Matt Smith.

 

[thenexus6]

Good. Jim Cameron or bust.

 

[Kyleripman]

Why am I the only one who liked genysis? it was much better than salvation and I enjoyed the callbacks to the first movie.

I finally just saw it and really enjoyed it, too.

 

[Messypandas]

The film will still be made, I guarantee it. Even a low budget last hurrah.

 

[Sesha]

I'd watch a Speed reboot

dammit

People like you are to blame.

You did this.

"Fox's new Speed made $400m dollars. People still want more 90s movies."

"Then we will give them that. Call Sting. Let's bring back, the Demolition Man."

 

[MMarston]

Is Baywatch being directed by Michael Bay? Bouncing boobs and big explosions?

It's getting the 21 Jump St. self-deprecating comedy treatment

 

[Tom Nook]

Good. Good!

 

[mariachi507]

Genesys was strike three. We'll never get a sequel that isn't some sort of fan servicing rehash. Let it stay terminated.

 

[Jackben]

Genisys should be on the FDA's schedule 1. Nobody should be allowed to watch it, not even for research purposes.

along with the book of eli and
After Earth

 

[Violence Jack]

Jai Courtney strikes again.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

I would love to see another really good Terminator movie someday. I liked some parts of Genisys (mostly the fan-service stuff tbh) but the casting was off and they gave away the twist in trailers

My sentiments too. In a year of reboots it was fine. Just thought everyone except Arnold was miscast.

 

[inm8num2]

The only Terminator movie that might have been interesting to see after T2 would have been one taking place during the war with Skynet. Basically, the first 15 minutes of Genisys stretched out to 2 hours w/o adding more timeline/mythology bullshit or changing the ending of T2. We see the war unfold, the tide turn, John and Kyle's friendship grow, etc., and the movie ends with John going back in time to protect Sarah. End credits. Such a film would have been fun, albeit unnecessary.

 

[Rymuth]

Salvation sucked balls but Genisys was kind of a guilty pleasure for me...Arnie's so good when it comes to being a paternal figure that I honestly wanted the whole movie to be just that.

Oh well...

 

[Metalmarc]

Give it to JJ Abrams, who'd write though?

 

[Escape Goat]

I know now why you cry.

 

[Carbonox]

I'm glad. Genesys was rancid.

Aren't we getting a Terminator 2 3D re-release in cinema this year courtesy of James Cameron?

 

[neorej]

Give it to JJ Abrams, who'd write though?

Damon Lindelof

 

[JadedWriter]

Actually, you know what, I'd be okay with another Terminator sequel if Clarke came back.

That is not how you spell Lena Headey.

 

[tomtom94]

Joke's on you guys, Arnold Schwarzenegger is going to time travel back from the future to put this movie into production

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Ah, Baywatch, the only movie filmed entirely in slow motion, and won Pamela Anderson an Oscar.

 

[Lime]

Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 3 please

 

[NightShift]

Was the placeholder really called Terminator 2? Thank fuck that got axed.

 

[aygomyownroad]

Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 3 please

This! Felt so underrated and the Cliff hanger ending! A season after that would have been the sequel we truly deserved, close the whole Connor Timeline and move on to another country in the Terminator Universe

 

[jett]

This is one franchise that just needs to be fucking buried.

 

[theincredibleone]

get this man a hollywood writing deal

 

[JadedWriter]

Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 3 please

Here I was thinking that I was the only one that still misses that show.

 

[The Kree]

Aw c'mon, man! Arnold just got his liquid metal form!

 

[andythinkpad]

Actually, you know what, I'd be okay with another Terminator sequel if Clarke came back.

Talk to the hand.

 

[Sephzilla]

Too bad Cameron is wasting his talents on Avatar sequels. I'd like to see Cameron make a real Terminator 3.

 

[ElTopo]

Thank you. Stop raping this franchise.

Now, hopefully when Cameron gets the rights back he can right the wrongs.

 

[DragonSworne]

Terminator 2? Terminator 2 came out over 20 years ago.

 

[Interfectum]

This is one franchise that just needs to be fucking buried.

Yup. Post T2, nothing has worked out for this franchise. Just stop now, it's already dead.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

That is not how you spell Lena Headey.

I can't decide which is the shittier actress. Headey was in Sarah Connor Chronicles, so I'm leaning more towards her.

 

[The Kree]

Here I was thinking that I was the only one that still misses that show.

They sent it to Fridays to die and it got really good at the end.

 

[JadedWriter]

Say what you will she still acts better than Emelia Clarke.

The last couple of eps were so good.

 

[poppabk]

I enjoyed it. It was better than the two movies that came before it at least. The time travel aspect has gotten so muddled though that nothing makes sense anymore.

 

[Lebron]

Good. China couldn't save it from the depths of the deep where it belongs

 

[dragonyeuw]

Oh well, the last story that needed to be told was 25 years ago. Everything since( film-wise) has been trash to varying degrees of garbagecity.

 

[dragonyeuw]

Yup. Post T2, nothing has worked out for this franchise. Just stop now, it's already dead.

T2 ended perfectly. Everything since has just rewritten the prior movie making the entire universe pointless. There's no consequence or stakes anymore because they'll just reboot/retcon whatever they need to keep milking the cow.

 

[Metalmarc]

Actually I'd give it to

Alex Garland - (Dredd and Ex- Machina) to write.

 

[diamount]

I don't know why they keep trying to reboot the franchise, each iteration does worse than than the last.

 

[FTF]

Maybe they're skipping Terminator Saturyn and going right to Terminator Dreemkast.

 

[Pancake Mix]

I'll always love Terminator for how great the first two movies are with James Cameron.


As for the franchise:

 

[Crossing Eden]

God that movie was so fucking terrible, even for the low standards I had going in. It was just....astounding.

Yep, Terminator should have ended with Terminator 2. Perfect ending to the franchise. The only other thing they could have done would have been some sort of Future War prequel about John Connor and Kyle Reese (directed by Cameron of course), but that wouldn't be necessary for the story at all. This franchise should have really stopped with the second movie.

Similarly, the Alien franchise probably should have stopped with Aliens as well (or at least not continued on with the Ripley character).
