Review of Terminator Genisys (2015) by Rooka18 — 08 Jul 2015

I'm a really big fan of the first 2 Terminator movies, and I think that Rise of the Machines is a bit underrated. Salvation was horrifying, and I feared that Genisys will be the same. And how incredibly wrong I was.

Genysis is WAY better than Rise of the Machines, for me it was on par with the first movie, and only a bit worse than Judgment Day. Certainly the best Schwarzenegger movie since he came back to filming. The story was twisted enough to be fresh, the action was top-notch and the only thing I was disappointed in is that the T-1000 was destroyed too fast. I really wanted a duel between the T-1000 and John Connor (it could explore the fact that the T-1000 can become self aware and give the middle finger to Skynet).

So the movie was great I think, and I would like to ask the critics: what the hell have you watched guys? Seriously, 2.5/10 and 1/10? You have got to be kidding me. Why do I have the feeling, that because of Rise of the Machines and Salvation you gave the movie 2.5 and 1 BEFORE even seeing it? To be honest, I got to the point, when I'm thinking that I don't care about the international critic reviews anymore.

So my message to everyone who saw the previous Terminator movies: forget Salvation, and see this.
