Terminator: Salvation

The trailer of Public Enemies was the best part of the movie and boy am I excited about this movie. With Johnny depp & Christian Bale in it and Michael Mann at the helm you can be sure of getting your moneys worth at least from one movie this summer. Get down to the movies near you on july 1'st because this is going to be the movie of the summer, and the feeling only gets stronger with the initial reviews being promising.

Anyway what is with this summer and big name movies? Al most every movie is turning out to be crap. It is as if everyone in hollywood has suddenly had a brain freeze.

It's really disappointing, specially after a great summer last year where finally the movie makers seem to have found the fine balance between the substance and wow factor. You had great movies like Ironman, Wall-E & The Dark Knight last year while this year you are stuck with Terminator Salvation, Transformers 2 & Ice Age 3 with only the exception being UP, again it's from Pixar and that had to be good. The point being that this summer has been really bad, one of the worst movies wise.

I wanted to write about Terminator Salvation but seriously there is nothing much to write about the movie other than mindless action sequences that never seem to end and to make things worse, one of the worst background scores that I've come across in such an iconic movie for a long time.

It's really not worth watching even on a DVD, better still get the T2:Judgment day and watch it all over again if you feel nostalgic about the series.
