To be honest, ...I second Mary's recommendation. To be honest, I didn't <i>love</i> The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I found the continuing mother-son conflict tiresome - Sarah wanting to protect John, John wanting to be free to just be a normal kid, same thing week after week - even if it was realistic, but Summer Glau's character was fascinating. I think it was her best role since Firefly.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332055598026035779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-21691919636255691952011-09-06T19:33:37.804-04:002011-09-06T19:33:37.804-04:00I really like this one too.

As John's grown up and nuclear holocaust and the end of civilization approach, the movie needs to get grittier, not goofier. It loses a lot of the emotional power the first two managed to squeeze in between action scenes. The humor is less sly, more overt.<br /><br />I would strongly recommend that, while you're in the Terminator mood and before you pick up T3, you go and rent the DVDs of "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles."<br /><br />That show picks up from where T2 leaves off, and though the actors are different, it *nails* the tone of the movies. The character development is awesome, the plot gripping, the action heart-pounding, and the acting and dialogue very human and believable. One of my favorite shows of all time -- shame it only got two seasons.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06090852893009703643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-46715178870771199412011-09-06T08:20:26.958-04:002011-09-06T08:20:26.958-04:00I need to watch T2 again.

T3 is my favorite, one of those movies I never get tired of seeing again and again but sometimes I feel like I'm the only person in the world who likes it because of all the negative comments I see. It doesn't feel as "serious" as the first two which, maybe, is why a lot of people don't like it. It's <i>fun</i> but maybe it doesn't quite fit in with the other two.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332055598026035779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-63576921065650061642011-09-06T06:01:24.620-04:002011-09-06T06:01:24.620-04:00I read a recent poll SOMEWHERE saying that the rev...I read a recent poll SOMEWHERE saying that the revelation of spoilers ENHANCES the viewing of a movie or TV show.

It's still a brilliant movie that has ages well and I think of the original ending whenever I'm driving at night.<br /><br />I saw T3 a while ago. It was fairly meh...I don't remember much about it actually. Except the Elton John sunglasses after the Terminator steals himself some clothes. <br /><br />By the way, thanks for the Robocop review. For some reason I never had any interest in watching it, but after reading your post I did. I was pleasantly surprised, it really is a cool movie.???https://www.blogger.com/profile/00467285279627231933noreply@blogger.com
