Bale was completely mis-cast as Connor, but he did do a better job than Nick Stahl. Although, thats not saying much.

I thought Salvation was a pretty damn good. I will admit I was a little disappointed because I was hoping for MASS Terminator VS Human battles. I was hoping to see a fleet of ships and platoons of Terminators against rag tag bands of humans still holding on…but the movie was still good. Bale was disappointing in that he didnt portray very well the great leader that the first 2 films built him up as…but that was probably the script and not him personally. To me…Worthingtons character made the movie. I hope to see more…I dont know what they will do or where they will go in the T-Universe…but I hope to see more.

A dead franchise is something I have no interest in seeing more of.

Anything in Hollywood can be resurrected, but until that actually happens.. its dead.

Is there potential? Yes. There was also potential that Dragonball was going to be good.

Star Trek died. The studio, all the actors and even the fans gave up on wanting more from that franchise. The TV shows were not watched enough and were canceled. The films were modest money makers yet the studio wouldn’t risk making another.

Batman (the films) died. NO ONE wanted to follow up on those films. They let them fade and rebooted. It was the ONLY way.

Like I have said. If they do that with Terminator – great. If not, its dead.

I’m guessing we have a different opinion on what a dead franchise is… to me a dead franchise is something that is you know…. no longer active and can’t come back successfully? To you apparently it means… has had 2 movies within the past decade with the last making $372,046,055 worldwide…

My point is neither Star Trek or Batman ever ‘died’ because they had their newer films to save the franchise. Something that is dead can’t come back, at least that’s my definition… maybe you live in a world where zombies are real and vampire come out of their coffins at night and live eternally as weird undead creatures… Not me.

So while you are busy proving me right, explain why these franchises that you mentioned REQUIRED A REBOOT to revive ANY interest in them?

Right. Because they were dead.

No one wanted to see any more Star Trek movies, and no one wanted to see any more Batman movies. They were dead.

They waited a while and rebooted the series. If they do this with Terminator… GREAT. I just dont see that happening.

And I did predict that a reboot would save Trek 14 months before JJ announced he was rebooting it.

You know in the year 2000 there was a lot of people saying another little franchise was ‘dying’ and were losing total faith in it… then in 2005, a little film called ‘Batman Begins’ came out and blew everyone away.

Oh and then there was that other not-so-huge franchise that had all been given a time of death in Hollywood around the year 2005 and then a film called ‘Star Trek’ came out in 2009 that made audiences across the world simultaneously crap their pants.

Sorry Rodney, but pronouncing this franchise dead at this point is extremely short sighted, almost negligibly so for someone running a movie blog.

The franchise is dying. They made an attempt at part 3, and it failed. Fans hated it.

Now 4 was better than 3, but not by much. The franchise is beaten to death and they have hit up every story they could and there is nothing left.

I dont bash the franchise. I loved the first two films and enjoyed the TV Series (BECAUSE it wasnt cannon) Its over.

Until someone shows me a reason to find life in this series, I don’t have any faith in it.

If they make a part 5 and its awesome? Then fine. Call it Resurrection because this is over to me.

Can anyone say Irony? Seriously though, I think they should just reboot the whole damn thing.

Why do I think nasty thoughts right now?

Nasty thoughts:

Dirty, rough sex? No, not quite.
Writing/dreaming up scenes of carnage and mass annihilation? No, of course not.

~~Reboot!~~

T4 was amazing as a mindless action movie in a great setting. The story was nonexistant and the movie was shallow, but it satisfied me.

At the very least, since it didn’t affect the story you can atleast ignore it if you didn’t like it.
