mcg and team have manage to rejuvenate my interest in the terminator series and well do and a great movie . i just hope that you have keep enough back for the next two movie . i have some reservation about this movie after see the initial imdb rating and director mcg effort on charlie angel and admittedly an altogether different movie and but it leave me with the impression mcg be a bit of a goofy idiot . maybe he just get catch up in a moment of goofy bliss while work with cameron and drew . i have hear that some people can not get into this movie and and maybe the difference in opinion be somehow link to tie with the first three movie . some may have only see the third ( poor ) movie and the tv series ( good 1st season ) which wouldn not really help you here . it not essential and but it would help to see the 1st and 2nd movie so you can appreciate the thread mcg have wind into this movie . know that christian bale be in the lead role certainly help maintain my interest and serious actor help bring weight to a movie and and i have to say sam worthington be excellent too and he be the perfect match for bale and and i be sure he go to be big in year to come . i be very happy i go along to see it now and and afterword i even felt that movie buzz that i haven not have since dark knight . positive .
