    Just watching T2 at the moment.

    Did people know before going to see it back in 97 that the T-800 was good or was it a shock? Like was how was it advertised?

    It's amazing how bad this series of films gets, after T2.

    Aw man....as others have said the trailers gave it away.

    But my father showed me Terminator 1 and then 2 back to back in one of those "boys nights" you had as a kid when your mother went away for a weekend and your Da treated you to an 18's film :D

    so I saw the first two back to back with no idea about them, so that moment was a MEGA mindblown moment for me :D

    Also for the review on that screenplay, I'd take it with a pinch of salt.

    For me anyway some of his reviews are way of the mark( most recently called Interstellar a heaping pile of ****) and I get the feeling he most likely hasn't read the actual screenplay.

    Most of his reviews and Blu-ray and DVD restrospects, and I wonder if it's someone who doesn't get any press screenings to bluff a few more hits on his site.

    I thought Genisys was meant to be the first instalment in a trilogy.

    Can't remember where I read it but I think Arnie's doing both.

    If ever there was an argument for piracy...

    Not sure how everybody can be overly critical when nothing other than a trailer has been watched

    The series has been steadily declining in quality with each iteration. Salvation was awful, one of the worst films I've seen in a cinema. This could be a classic. It's possible. However, I think it's unlikely to say the least. If it gets a string of good reviews I might chance it but given that the trailer is meant to sell the film, it's failed.

    Well, it's a reimagining of T2 that nobody wanted so I won't be surprised if it is worse than Salvation.

    The spoiler that's been going around makes Salvation look like a cinematic masterpiece in comparison.

    I've forgotten what it was to be honest. If only I could do the same about that trailer.

    I said that it's a terrible trailer. How is that overreacting.

    I read there will be a fight between the new Arnold and the old Arnold in this movie. The old Arnold being the one from the original Terminator just as he has landed back in time. Since old Arnold is naked what they did was just totally remove his dick and balls and have him looking like a Ken doll.
    To me this sounds utterly hilarious and almost makes me want to see the movie. But I'll wait until that clip ends up on YouTube.

    Can't see how they'd do that considering Arnie is naked in the first movie and clearly packing the full package.

    I think continuity's going to take quite the beating here to be honest.

    Kind of stupid for Skynet to build the T800 as an infiltrator unit then leave them as Ken dolls, pretty simple check for the resistance to do before they let them into their bunkers.

    This film is shaping up to be one of those you watch just how see how badly they've messed it up (ditto Total Recall 2012, Robocop 2014 etc - reboots no-one asked for)

    To be fair Robocop 2014 was a pretty good movie that did enough to make it stand on its own feet (if a bit shakily). If Genisys was even on-par with that, I'd be shocked and pleasantly surprised.

    I'm still massively looking forward to Genisys as a popcorn flick. Salvation was pretty poor but I still enjoyed it in that sense.

    Because a killing machine that could snap your neck like a twig, will allow you to walk up and grab its crotch :pac:

    All joking aside, everything I hear about this just makes me die a little inside.
