Terminator Salvation

The robot doesn't know how lucky it is being shot in the head only a few minutes into possibly THE MOST BORING MOVIE OF THE 21ST CENTURY.

Did someone mention the word derivative?

Well ... there's the motorbike from The Dark Knight as well as the motorbike leap from The Great Escape. There's any amount of Mad Max rip-offs. There's the spaceship being chased along the canyon from Independence Day. There appears to be a transformer that's strayed into the wrong movie. There are prison camps from Schindler's List and Escape From New York. There are several Blade Runner towers or maybe it's Minority Report borrowing.

And testosterone?

Well ... John Connor shouts a lot and is very moody and Sam Worthington shouts a lot and is very angsty.

And the Terminators are stupider than kettles.

It's crap; cynical, money-making, piss-poor movie-making crap. The day you find yourself stealing ideas from a Michael Bay movie is the day you know you're in trouble McG. What kind of name is McG anyway?
