Comments on: Terminator: Salvation Holds Only 25% On Rotten Tomatoes http://themovieblog.com/2009/05/terminator-salvation-holds-only-25-on-rotten-tomatoes The Official Home of Correct Movie Opinions Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:43:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Joe Merritt http://themovieblog.com/2009/05/terminator-salvation-holds-only-25-on-rotten-tomatoes#comment-202642 Joe Merritt Mon, 25 May 2009 07:18:18 +0000 http://themovieblog.com/?p=19709#comment-202642 Just saw this movie. It can best be described as a cheap & lazy ripoff. T3 is a 4 star oscar worthy masterpiece in comparison. At least in T3 they drove a giant crane truck through downtown LA destroying buildings and cars in the process. The only real action in this flick takes place inside a computer which is appropriate because the script is worse than those written for video games. There is no background action (cheap). Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that the lazy producers are lying through their teeth about the supposed 200 mil budget. Pathetic. Get ready for this years Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. Yes it is that bad. Just saw this movie. It can best be described as a cheap & lazy ripoff.

Heres a hint to make your movie watching experience better: DECIDE FOR YOURSELF. Who gives a crap what 10 ppl on some random site think. I'm sure you could find plenty of people who hate any movie you choose. I saw the movie tonight and it was amazing. The camera work was innovative, the movie is plot-driven not character driven. If you can even understand what that means. You people only want to tear down. McG could make the best movie ever and there would be people who will talk shit b/c they didn'y like some other movie he made. I know that for me, STORY is all that matters. As long as the idea causes me to expand my horizons and makes me think, it is a good movie. Maybe not a great movie, great movies are rare. You all would have them either condemn a movie to hell or hold it up on a pedestal. Terminator did have a few science-related gaps for me, but the idea is very intriguing and the acting is just fine. If all you care about is the acting, watch improv. I am sorry but i actually SAW the movie unlike every one of you. Heres a hint to make your movie watching experience better: DECIDE FOR YOURSELF.

The camera-work was very well done, and the actors at least knew what they were doing. Then, I stopped watching the trailer.

Tint the movie blue and die at the boxoffice. It's really simple. If I'm paying $10 to sit and watch your movie give me Technicolor like Star Trek or send your piece of garbage straight to DVD. I had to laugh at the way they tried to add color to the trailers just to pull the audience in. Shelve it right up next to "Minority Report" and "Get Carter" where hopefully the blue digital content will yellow over time, lol. I just wonder when Hollywood is going to see the connection.
