basically every 'action hero' of the last decade+
and Arnold is playing his role again?
Just make another Terminator movie instead of doing a reboot.

Should've cast the guy who played Kyle Reese in the previous movie. He's a great actor.

yeah, thats pretty much where his role should stay in these movies. the model for the terminator.
otherwise, i wonder how theyre going to explain why the machines are making really old robots.
salvation was a reboot within the same 'universe' as t1-3
do they really think jettisoning the first two films and the two following shit sequels will really bring any success to this? is the terminator universe really so narrow as to require a complete reboot rather than making a different story within the same canon? if it's really a reboot, why bring back arnold other than to put nostalgic asses in seats?
it'll be forgettable and awful. there are interesting stories to be told in the terminator universe, just nobody in hollywood seems to realise this and just wants to crank out garbage to a quick buck.

A Good Day to Die Hard made me dislike this guy even though it's not really his fault. =P
Though as far as Terminator goes these days... no James Cameron no sale.

The terminator timeline is so fucked anyways that I don't really care if it's a reboot or not.

Apparantly it's so incredibly difficult to write a competent script for this franchise that they're just going to recycle the first one.
Amazing.

I was thinking "I've seen that face" and unfortunately, my inner wheel stopped on I, robot. Yes, that movie about product placements featuring a CG character and some guy from ID4.
also: why are they making a reboot anyway?

He should have been a Terminator. The shape of his face and eyes scream "robot".

Idris Elba as the new terminator.
Yeah, I could see that causing some issues...I kinda meant as one of the heroes.

Only reason I'm interested in this project is because Ahnold is in it. If it ends up being good it'll be a pleasant surprise.

I don't think that's fair. That shit is on the studio... and Bruce Willis for phoning it in.

Because they're creatively bankrupt, and highly risk averse. Remakes and sequels are safer bets than original films.

This guy is a legitimate good actor (see Varro from the TV show Spartacus), so I have to blame the writing/directing for his performances since then.

Welp, they couldn't get people on board for the next chapter of the story, or a sidestory, so maybe people will be down to see what they have already seen............

Dude was great in Spartacus so i am down.
It's like saying Liam Neeson helped ruin the Star Wars prequels.
Did he write, direct and fund the movie? No? Just went in and did the job he was paid for? Yeah, he didn't ruin it.

I really hated Jeff Goldblum in i, Robot.
This guy only started acting in 2005, one year after I, Robot was released...

What purpose does a Terminator reboot serve? Who wants this?

I don't really blame Courtney for Die Hard 5. Someone at Fox had an alimony payment to make.

Jai Courtney? I'd turn him down just for that name.

A reboot...using the original actor as the villain? Why?
I really doubt Arnold has that kind of performance left in him these days. That's not even considering Bill Paxton.

I'm so happy that Schwarzenegger is still in it.
I bet all the monies that they will pull a Star Trek and have the story be set in the same universe (or multiverse) as the old movies, and time travel will be involved to explain the whole thing.

He's being asked to play this type of character. He has charisma and he showed it in Spartacus. Funny thing is that he's bigger and taller than Arnold. He would have been great as the terminator.

i dont get the hate for this guy..he was excellent charming and moving on spartacus as barro
Yep. This one. The first one.
Renner has actually been in a few solid films lately he was a revelation again in American Hustle his best role since The Town.
You spelled a ton of things wrong here.
