TERMINATOR: DARK FATE v.2 (First Reactions)

T2 is my favorite action movie of all time. That shit felt so believable at the time and its a movie about fucking robots. Linda Hamilton was badass as fuck like @Protectandserve said. You legit felt she was the only person capable of taking on a terminator and winning.

But this trailer looks like a pile of shite. Why does Arnold need to be in it...that horse has been flogged enough.

I know people are saying the females are the problem...but the male terminator in this looks like someone who'd smile and welcome me to a Taco restaurant, not someone ready to murder me. The T1000 LOOKED intimidating as fuckkkkk
 
The new terminator is an illegal alien driving a construction truck?
 
Lol @ the main baddy there being an emasculated soyboy.. James Cameron showing he's hip to the times in sad as pain old man fashion.

That's my expression I'm inventing, btw. "Sad as pain."
 
Like.. Compare that to the original movie, which is a masterpiece. Seriously. We want gritty. Realistic. Brains. Sci-fi. Something different, yet recognizable. Acting above cheese effects.

Terminators are designed to blend in, so "soyboy" this fits a dystopian view of our future.

Although, realistically, terminators would be designed to look like children, small women, or the elderly--something that would catch targets off-guard.
 
The problem is not the women or the music or the shitty cgi

The problem is that they haven't had a good Terminator story to tell since the first movie

This looks like the same meaningless Terminator action fest as the recent films were

They forgot to write a compelling story like the first 2 Terminator movies had
 
The entire trailer is just action scene after action scene

This is trash to the extent of the directors and writers thinking Terminator is action schlock

This trailer reminds me of all the bad Transformer movies
 
Looks like Terminator meets Fast and Furious. Joy
 
I really, really wanted to like this. Just leave Terminator alone, dammit.

Yeah so what is this movie about again? That trailer showed nothing but random action scenes with people I dont know or care about. T3 fucked up by having a woman terminator, guess they didnt learn.

Kristiana Loken was one of the better parts of T3. (I say that as someone who hates T3).

Where they fucked up was her hairstyle, costume, and overall the T-X was a weaker version of the T-1000.

I could go into more detail, but the overall movie was piss-poor, and that overshadowed her good performance.
 
Doesn't look that good, but it might have some decent scenes. Everyone slams T3 but I liked the chase scene and watching the Terminator's fight. This one makes them seem like they don't have any weight to them though.

Lots of unintentionally hilarious moments. Like when david says hey stick your face in that alien egg for me, and buddy just does it without a second thought.

It's perfectly safe, I assure you. Ain't going to lie, I enjoyed both of the new Alien movies, but I'm not delusional enough to think that the script was good. Dumb as characters in any slasher flick.
 
I assume this is a direct sequel to T2 and ignores the other sequels since Linda Hamilton is back. The problem here is the movie looks like another bland retread of the same Terminator shit and doesn't feel fresh. The "women power" thing isn't an issue, the lack of originality is.
