With Terminator Salvation already hitting silver screens in america, it's pretty antagonizing that asia has to wait for it to reach us one week later. Not to mention, most would have already reviewed the film, which is an additional excruciating factor to resist reading.
though i peeked at a few reviews online doing my best to force and peel my eyes away from potentially plot spoilers and just reading the comments only.
to my disappointment, the reviews going about online have been rather poor, and mostly stating that terminator salvation has fallen below the expectations set and being unable to substantiate the substance for it's over the top effects.
i was hoping that it'd get some huge critically acclaimed mention so it'd hype me up further. though it wont' dampen my spirit to watch this film i've waited *god knows how many years* long. T3 was a huge joke of a movie by the way. Hopefully T:S does better. I wont' judge it till i've watched it that's as far as i'd say. but i do hope this film lives up to my expectations! god....its THE movie event of the year for me and i'd hate for it to sink...
in the meantime i'm pretty preoccupied with things i'm doing though i still do my best to check out forums for updates on when Hot Toy's terminator figs will hit us. Heard it's out in HK already.
and as a spoiler: t-800 is featured in the film (above) and hot toys did display a t-800 figure as part of the T:S figure releases line up at a shopping mall in Hong Kong, perhaps that'd be our 5th figure. Marcus wright and helena bonaham carter's character are terminators...and they used to be human...Arnie is back (digitally)...and bale's performance was said to be somewhat dry and one dimensional? (hopefully not when i watch it)

Not really surprised about Bale being one-dimensional. IMO, he is an intense actor, but that's it. Being intense 24/7 is tiring and it shows.
As expected. Fan would like to watch the end of the franchies just like fan watch Episode 3 revenge of the sith. Well that how it is for me. T2 still the best. LOL
@ Kenny - i agree with you strongly on the fact that Bale always struck me as one dimensional ....intense and brooding even in dark knight but somewhat lacking in other emotional aspects...say when rachel died? he does'nt seem very perturbed about it other than that one scene at breakfast with the note....
hopefully Terminator salvation can find some form of redemption in us viewers....=D
@ Leon - Terminator salvation isn't the end of the franchise..its a beginning of a new trilogy...hopefully ..which doesn't suck... but it does close up the first trilogy if i'm not wrong...as kyle goes through the timeportal at the end. SPOILER ALERT!! ahha
i hated the dark knight in the cinema but grow to like it on video. i'm no terminator fan but i hope this movie will grow inside me ....
Joshua,
Without your spoiler in your comment, I'm guessing most fans (or non-fans/casual movie goers) would probably predict that Kyle's gonna be sent back to the past (hence linking the movie with the 1st Terminator movie)...heheehh. This is what we geeks call...doin' a "George Lucas". :P
@sket - yeah i hope i like it too....if it suck it would seriously dampen by enthusiasm to get the hot toys figures
@ the rebel - yeah..franchises these days are just plain predictable...hope they deliver quality like DARK KNIGHT.
