Not darker than the original. But I thought it would be more inkeeping with the original and not like the progessively kiddie friendly sequels.

And while we’re on the subject, Saw wasn’t gory enough.

Thank god Crafu bought my ticket for this ‘steaming pile of shite’, thats the only positive thing I can add……I even befriended Christian Bale on facebook to tell him firsthand exactly what a festering bag of spunk this film really is….

1. Yes, C- on the rewrite (aside from the cheeky homage on the lines better known lines). Makes you wonder how bad the original was……

2. Why would you make it darker than the Original? That’s like saying “Saw” was not gory enough.

Point 1 – This was the finish script? They all read this and sat back and said, “Yeah! That’s GREAT!”
Even after a re-write? Incredable.

And as for Point number 2, I agree. When I heard the Dark Knight was going to be in this, I was over the moon. I expected, rightly so I think, a new fresher, darker Terminiator. Something akin to the Batman reboot. This is nothing like that. Not even close.

You need to relax, mate. You are, of course, right on the dialogue details. Except that:

1. Christian Bale only signed on after a re-write was agreed.
2. The re-write was done by Paul Haggis and Jonathon Nolan who have great credentials.

What did you expect, though? Woody Allen?

You should focus on the extremely vivid, post-apocalyptic environment and the way you are introduced to it via Sam. Or the fact that the robots don’t crush House Plants and go “My Bad” (Transformers).

It’s been described as a “reboot” (very over-used, I know). Personally, I was all over the old school tech and the animal cunning that often had to be used in its place. A10s rock.

Wow, I mean wow.

Total Film gave it 4 stars mate. Mind you, that mag is going to the dogs.

I’ll let you know my verdict next week. Although, unlike the proverbial ant, I certainly
don’t have high hopes.

Another good point here:

Why didn’t SkyNet just kill Reese when they have him captured?
Shoot him, end of war, SkyNet wins.

But no, he’s left alive. ARGH! It makes me soooo angry.
