leena hadley is a very good actress and the story was not so bad..at the start I hated the terminator girl but the story concept was intriguing

I want to add: why are you in this thread we' re discussing about arnold's movie
??? Collectorcol has every right to be in this thread.
the post wasn't meant for collectorcol
go back and read..
It had "Deep Impact", "Geekzilla", "Truman Show", "Armageddon", "Mask of Zorro", "Saving Private Ryan" and "Blade".Worst than 1998? That was a bad one
From dumb-but-ok to nice to good to COOL to great. No, 1998 didn't suck at all.

Nice chart
I forgot that fun popcorn film called "Saving Private Ryan" was a summer movie. Great film, but a movie like that would come out around August or November nowadays.
Sorry man. You'll have some reading material tomorrow though. I'm still typing in another tab. Its 4am in Ireland, I shouldn't even still be up

Poor a-dev, the pressures of being a Terminator super fan.
I feel like we might as well lock up the thread after he's said his peace, lol.
Last Action Hero. . .I liked it more than JP when it first came out. I watched it a few years ago, and I don't think it is good at all. Interesting idea, but the execution was lacking.

Based on your take on the movie and jye's reaction I think you're probably right, though for some reason (maybe because of some of the things I pinpointed for praise) I have a feeling he might like it *slightly* more than you guys. Maybe.

Just got back from seeing it.....
First off....what was James Cameron on when he did that promo spot jonesing all over this movie? Did I see the same one he did?
If this movie tanks, it won't be because of Arnold....he was the best thing in it.
There are pieces of a decent movie here but....the script is AWFUL. Sloppy and lazy. Some of the cast was pretty ill-fitting for this, that Jai guy was the worst. Even without comparing his take on the character to Biehn, he comes up short...generic and uninteresting....part of that can be laid on the script, but he just wasn't a good fit for this character.
Clarke's interpretation of Sarah Connor took some getting used to, but she was okay. Where she falls flat is any scene she has to share with the Jai guy...no chemistry there...but her scenes with Arnie were fine.
Jason Clarke was awkward as John Connor...just weird and uncomfortable to watch. JK Simmons did great with what he had....
The movie is just all over the place...the weird reenactments, the copycat action scenes with no real sense of excitement and danger...a whole thing feels like "who cares...it can all be wiped away with another time paradox or something"....so it's hard to get invested in characters or the story when it flails around aimlessly to a lackluster ending.
Again, the only thing that held it together and moved it along was Arnold. It was actually kind of cool, that whole "Guardian" thing he had going on.
I don't know if they can squeeze two more movies out of this based on what I just watched...say what you will about "Salvation"...it at least had a story that tried something a little different...it skipped the whole over-used time-travel thing and focused on just Connor and Wright's interweaving story. In a better director's hands, it really could've rocked....but I liked it more than this.
This movie needed to be "smaller"...more focus on the characters and less "time-paradox" comfusion and "let's-change-it-up for- the hell-of it" crap...
If Paramount wants to save this...they need a better script/story next time around....

Movies are what they are. I just watch them. I don't go in and nit pick them apart, compare them to this or that or waste my energy looking for things to hate. I'm there to be entertained, and I was.
