Dark Fate was surprisingly really good. Obviously not as good as T2, which was one of the best movies ever made. But still exceeded every expectation I had.
I agree. I think fans are divided over John’s story in the first act: I personally didn’t mind it and thought it was good for Dark Fate to make a clean break, but I can see why others couldn’t get past it.
You’re not the only one. That’s why every time they make a new movie they give up on whatever else they’ve tried to make and go back to picking up where T2 left off.
I loved T3, but I think there are only like 12 other people who feel the same way. I thought the scene at the end where John Conner realizes it’s judgement day, and his foretold future is upon him is amazing cinema. It was the perfect culmination to the previous movies. I also really enjoyed how throughout the entire movie you can see Skynet coming online as it knocks out internet connected devices across the planet. It’s a brilliant movie with some minor quality issues.
The lore itself is uninteresting at this point. The timeline seems done to death and none of it is interesting. I think the core of T2 is a horror movie where you get a nightmarish killer chasing our heroes. I think T2s story and lore works around that core perfectly. The other movies seem to work around a “twist” or some other gimmick that the core feels missing or inadequate.
Am I the only one who thinks T2 was the only good film in this series?
FTFY. Okay, okay, the first film was enjoyable, low-budget sci-fi cheese but you all have to admit there is a world of difference between the first and second movie, a qualitative quantum leap. Then the saga went ahead with bigger budgets and smaller brains. But that’s James Cameron for ya.
I think you’re being to harsh. I used to like T2 more than T1, but as I grew older I’ve switched to liking T1 more. T1 is a great horror film, and T2 is a great action film. T2 was a good end to the story started in T1. What they should have done is stopped making other movies in the timeline after T2. I wouldn’t call Salvation a good movie, but it’s the best out of all the rest because it actually tried something original. All the other movies are just T2 reskinned.

Since then it has disappeared up it’s own arse the time lines and stories are so ridiculous.
Sarah Connor Chronicles, and Dark Fate was pretty good. T3, Salvation, and Genisys were ok. I haven’t outright hated any entries.

Holy Matrix, they keep resetting the timeline to the 90s as a base for the best of times?
The Sarah Connor Chronicles was awesome

James Cameron is great at making action sequels to horror movies.
The was a 7 year gap between 1 and 2. 1 was a bit cheesey but was a pretty solid low-sci-fi for '84s abilities.
Cheese? What the fuck
