The thing with Terminator 3 I can not get over is Arnold's performance. He gets way too emotive, like he's a robot who wants to be human. The great thing about Terminator 2 is that Arnold's charm or likeability is almost entirely a reflection of what John projects on him. Aside from stuff like the final thumbs-up to throw in some ambiguity, he really is just a robot on a mission. Then T3 kind of ruins that in an attempt to follow up on that. A far more interesting take, I feel, would've been the robot firmly establishing that he's a different model than the other one and giving him a slightly different characterization. Salvation does a similar thing with the weird Helena Bonham Carter AI who is completely emotional to a robot they themselves made.

Casimir Radon posted:The directors cut of Salvation is about 40 seconds longer than the theatrical. The only additional material is what's her face getting her tits out. Of course what do you expect from a douchebag that calls himself McG? Moon Bloodgood? Say what you will about her, but that's a hard name to forget. My favorite thing about the leaked Bale rant was probably that he does, in fact, refer to McG as McG.

I almost wonder if it's a coincidence that they got Nick Stahl to replace Edward Furlong, and then Stahl turned out to be a burnout druggie as well. Though, I think Stahl's drug problems are linked with mental illness as well. I kinda phrased my problems with T3 Arnie badly. Aside from his emotional performance, I'd love it if the character would shed some of the toothless T2 'protector' role and the TX reprogramming it had made it truly dangerous. Just a grab back to the more horror-like aspects the first movie had. None of that "grab the human in my bonecrushing claws and throw him around" poo poo, as others have pointed out, either.

Was Sam Worthington really so bad in Salvation? I rather liked his character, it just probably shouldn't have been in a Terminator movie. Plus they should've done something more interesting with him like 1) not bullshit restore his body 2) have him struggle with his programming to show that he's actually a robot and 3) keep the ending where he replaces Connor.

Watched the first Terminator again for the first time in years, and it somehow escaped me that Arnold spends most of the movie with his eyebrows singed off. Weird. It also occurred to me that it makes no sense that Arnold's likeness was used multiple times by Skynet to make a Terminator, since the whole point of them is to not be recognized as cyborgs. Though I guess it can be explained by there being a couple of units sent out around the same time. Terminator 1 has that scene where a different-looking Terminator infiltrates the refuge and starts blasting people.
