| | Yea I knew he directed Charlie's Angels 3 and yes I heard about the bad reviews and like a man blinded by love (for the franchise) and hope I went anyway. Of course, I was disappointed.
Nevermind that a few scenes into the movie I was kinda reminded of those war room scenes you get from games like Red Alert, complete with bad army wardrobe and tight shots.
Nevermind that you had to cast Micheal "Starship Troopers" Ironside for the exact role he's so crappy for (apa lagi, authoratative scar-faced high ranking officer).
Nevermind that Kyle Reese's "LA Chapter" plot element sounds so fucking ridiculous. A teenager with 12 gauge shotgun and a mute lil' 9 year old janet jackson lookalike with a big afro (just in case the terminators missed seeing you the first time) surviving on 2 day old coyote meat and beating off tm's with your immobile traps (how the hell did you rig them up in the first place god knows la)? Yea right.
Nevermind the irresistable line homages. OK fine can't do without them la but seriously, "Come with me if you want to live"? "I'll be back"? Get over it la. Rasa cam nak tumbuk Bale when he said that.
Nevermind that they had to have the super-annoying-waste-of-space Common spouting his one liners.
Nevermind that everyone just automatically assumes the transplant at the end can happen, ignoring any possible biological complications.
Nevermind that Marcus Wright can overcome his programming so easily, giving the impression that Skynet was too dumb to anticipate the manner in which how he did it. Geez even Robocop had a harder time overcoming his programming.
Nevermind that everyone had pearly whites. The resistance must prioritise toothpaste over rations or sumthin. Sheesh even the rasta guy who wasn't part of the Resistance looked like he could be the Darlie guy. What kind of post-apocalyptic world is this? Obviously a listerined one.
Yes nevermind all that. What I really couldn't get is that why is it so hard sometimes to kill these puny humans. I mean, you're super advanced robots with infrared sensors and weakness analysis programs and frickin' titanium steel frames and zero compassion and advanced AI and all that for arnie's sake and takes you ages to even turn around let alone kill an agile human. If I was a terminator I'd resign from Skynet. Malu la. Cari kerja tempat lain.
There were some good points la and I'll fit them all in one line. The girl pilot not bad to look at, the big flying ship with smaller flying ship and big robot with smaller bike terminators all attached was cool, the general colour treatment was what I hoped, Marcus Wright could be cool at the times, the...uh...nope that's it.
Oh well.
