Terminator Salvation
1/10, movie was garbage. It completely ruined the series. Three killed it, and number four was the fatality.

Damn, I heard the opposite on other forums.

Anyway, I knew it was going to be a flop and I'm getting pretty sick of the whole Terminator thing.
 
I liked T3 so I think I might like the new one as well.
 
I saw Terminator last night and thought it was pretty good. Granted, I've never been a fan of the series, only seen the first one, etc. IMO its a good action movie by today's standards. Dunno how it stacks up as far as continuing on the rest of the series but my general thoughts on sequels such as this one is that people who are fans have their expectations too high. They basically expect these movies to be as good as the ones that blew their minds when they were kids seeing the first one. As a non-fan of the series, I thought it was a good movie, my girlfriend did too.

IMO this movie had some really nice action scenes, decent story (mostly branched off from the original series I gather). It had some corny ass lines but I thought that was kind of by design as a homage to the original 80s-ass movies as well as the fact that one-liners and corny shit like that is kind of making a comeback with Transformers and other movies I've seen lately. Some of the stuff done in the movie was utterly unbelievable but, again, its Terminator so I expect that and I buy into it.

It was not a great movie. It was by no means a masterpiece. It had some noticeable flaws that I won't get into until more people have seen it. But I thought it was a good action movie and IMO I'm generally not impressed by most action scenes in modern movies. It could have been better but it was a nice movie in my eyes.
 
I've been reading around more, and i've heard pretty much what Run has said. I'll prob see it next week
 
T4 had its problems, but I liked it. Good action movie.

Killshot -- 4/10 -- Elmore Leonard penned 3:10 to Yuma and Jackie Brown, two of my favourites. He also wrote the novel this film is based on, which I haven't read. I had heard that this film got cut to shit, but with Leonard, the director (John Madden, Shakespeare in Love), and the Weinstein's as producers, I figured it would still be watchable. Nope. Despite a borderline fantastic cast (Dianne Lane, Thomas Jane, Rosario Dawson, and Micky Rourke) this film is ass. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who gets about 100% too much screen time, is unbearable. Supposedly Justin Timberlake was considered for the role. For me to say I would've preferred him is saying a lot.

Let's go to Prison -- 7/10 -- probably not for everyone, but I thought it was really funny.

This is England -- 10/10 -- incredible movie. Feels like a hand is squeezing your heart throughout. Must see.
 
Starship Troopers 3: Marauder -- 3/10 -- I liked the first ST. It was a campy tongue-in-cheek sci-fi movie with a couple of layers of social commentary done in a fun way. The sequels have both been hot garbage. This sequel--the triumphant return of Casper "I really don't have anything else going for me right now" van Dein--is shit. The (endless) dialogue is atrocious, the acting is unintentionally bad (as opposed to the intentionally bad acting in the first one), the story doesn't follow any logical progression, and the ending is ludicrous even by B-movie standards. Skip it.
 
Outlander -- 9/10 -- one of the best genre-bending sci-fi/fantasy films I've ever seen; how the hell did this fly so low under the radar? A seriously awesome adventure movie.
 
The Signal -- 8/10 -- I guess you'd call it an alternative horror/thriller film; maybe a little film school for most, but still, a crazy strange relationship parable zombie-type thing that you probably won't forget.

5.5/10

It was ok. Running Jason beats the zombie Jason any day.
 
Up - 8/10

Had a lot of funny parts, overall a good movie.
 
I swear to God, every movie you see is rated 7 or above.

Agreed, I saw it tonight, didn't kill the franchise at all. 6.5/10, but seems like the director blew the big one here, not so much the storyline or the actors.

No, definitely not all of them. I definitely wouldn't have given the new Terminator movie higher than a 6, and Wolverine was a flaming pile of crap for the most part as well that was probably a 4 at best for me.

However, I did see The Hangover this weekend, funniest movie of the year so far.

I haven't seen Terminator, what's wrong with it? I see pretty mixed reviews.

The biggest weakness I thought was the story. I wasn't really fond of it, and I thought character development was pretty weak as well. It wasn't a bad movie and as said earlier, won't kill the series (if any of them was going to do that, it would have been T3), but it's not as good as the first 2.
 
Film Drunk did a good job of reviewing it negatively, I'd link the review but its NWS, and Cinemassacre did a good job of reviewing it positively, though less thoroughly.
 
The Hangover- 8.5/10. It was pretty funny but I don't think it was as good as some people I've heard have made it out to be.

Wow, usually you and I agree on movies for the most part. I'm surprised you didn't like Wolverine. I thought it was pretty good action movie. Corny acting, but good.

I think you're on your own there. I know a good amount of people who've seen it and they all unanimously agreed it was the biggest POS they've seen in months, maybe years. I haven't seen it personally though.
 
I liked it. I went into it with the intentions of catching a good action flick...which it was.

It did alright on IMDB - 6.8/10.

It was a movie I was excited to see, don't get me wrong. It looked like it was going to be a good movie. And then it ended up being total crap. The action sequences were cool and all, but much like T4, not enough to save the movie. The story was bleh and left a lot to be desired and the acting wasn't much better. I expected it to be better after the first 3 (even with X3 being kinda weak), but it definitely didn't live to expectations.

I loved it, as I stated earlier, though I can understand how you could leave disappointed if you've read and listened to other people rave about it.
