Terminator Salvation

Hey, you Hollywood has long had a tradition of coming along and restarting or remaking franchises. By their very nature, they're almost universally either very successful or very disappointing. The middle ground it seems could be measured in inches. Terminator Salvation is no exception. And unfortunately, it falls in the category of a huge disappointment. The first two Terminator movies are bonified classics. Sure they had great special effects and lots of action, but they also told good stories and took the time to develop interesting characters. Rise of the Machines was not on the level of Terminator and T2, but it wasn't a terrible film. The same cannot be said for Terminator Salvation.
This time it's a prequel. As the movie opens, Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a murderer, is waiting to be put to death when he's visited by a Doctor (Helena Bonham Carter), who is there to persuade him to give his body to a cause for science. Flash forward now to post "judgment day." John Connor
