Terminator Salvation Director Tired of Name Controversy

" My name won't define my movies. My movies will define my name." what you mean like charlies angels: full throttle???...this guy is no james cameron! but i dont think this can be as crap as terminator 3....although....

Slimybug,
While "T3" was absolutely horrible (and I'm sure that I can actually prove it to you with many reasons that you probably don't even realize) you couldn't be further from the truth. I'm willing to bet that you know very little about the Terminator series other than watching the movies a few times if you honestly think that. As someone who is religious about the franchise AND who doesn't blindly follow if what they put out is trash ("T3"), I can honestly say that so far, of everything I've seen and read about this movie it looks to be both excellent and as true to the first 2 films as "T3" would allow (since it has to work with the disasters that "T3" created).

And on a side note, if you don't think that a movie is or can be good because of the nickname of the director then obviously you aren't thinking clearly to begin with.

PS - What is the point of this article? This isn't news.

Ironknight,
The two of us are usually on the same page about stuff. I'll say this: to say that "it looks like it is going to be way better than 'T3'" is like saying that Carmen Elektra is hotter than Rosie O'Donnell. I don't even consider that piece of trash a part of the series and if not for the fact that it F'ed up the timeline and therefore they have to acknowledge it, I wouldn't acknowledge it, either. I wish I could send a Terminator back in time to stop "T3" from being created...

McG is ok....I mean every body cant be a movie making God..but his vision is ok...I mean you can take Charleys angels and make it like a 007 with chicks movie...and it would feel unrealistic...or make it the way he did...unrealistic lol....

I hope this movie redefines him...he is a OK director and the movies he made were ok...

THis one will have to be better than ok so I see he is taking it more seriously..

Yeah, Ironknight, the ending **concept** was ok. Let me say this: it wasn't so much that the ideas were horrible as that it was rushed, not well-thought and contradicts the previous 2 films and actually makes them impossible to happen, believe it or not.

I will say that it did have a couple decent ideas. I liked the idea of a Terminator (NOT a new, stupid TX-- why not just send THAT model back to 1984 or 1996 if Skynet wanted to be successful in those 2 times?!?) back to oversee Skynet's takeover. I also liked the idea of getting John (don't care one way or the other about Kate or her character) to the shelter. And the way that Skynet took over was also interesting.

However, I HATED the T-X, I hated the fact that they changed the date of Judgment Day (MAJOR flaw), I hated the whole "John & Kate were meant to meet each other" BS, I hated Nick Stahl as John, I hated the cheesy concept of Sarah's coffin, I hated "talk to the hand," I hated... well, pretty much everything else. And there was one line that single-handedly made the existence of the whole entire series no-longer possible. (I've broke it down on here a million times but if you're curious to read it I can post a link to my breakdown of it.)

Anyway, "T3" = trash. But this movie does look like it will live up to its hype, although the fact that it is going on the (impossible-to-happen) timeline that "T3" created I will unfortunately find a ton of flaws with it because of timeline F-ups.

How the [frick] is Kyle Reese alive and why is he a little f' ing kid????????????????????? What did I miss? I've seen all 3 Terminator movies like a million times. No, really. I'm asking what have I missed. There is always someone on here who knows everything.

MetalHead--He must not be getting much from all those viewings. Yep, he missed everything apparently.

@DarkAvengers:

Aw, my friend. You've stumbled into one of the fabled sci-fi conundrums...the time paradox!

Remember Doc Brown telling McFly that he better not run into his future self or the universe would explode? No, before your time? Well...

Remember last week, when Star Trek opened, and Old Spock told Young Kirk that he better not tell Young Spock that Old Spock told him what to do or the universe would explode? Well...

The young Kyle Reece in Terminator Salvation hasn't grown old enough to be sent back in time by adult John Connor (his son) to protect Sarah Connor (and birth him). That's why he's not dead.

I just have a sneaking suspicion that Dark Avengers was messing with us.

Yes how do you italicize? I want to have more emphasis.
