Thanks for checking out my Terminator: Salvation review. First off, to Movie Crazy Guy, (Skyler), this movie is not that violent and is okay for us thirteen year old. You can handle it, because there is almost no blood and is generally fine. So you should see it. Second of all, Terminator 2: Judgement Day is one of my favorite movies of all time (edited version, of course), so I was really excited to see this 4th installment.
The Good: The special effects are absolutely excellent. These effects make the terminators and explosions look real, and the people should actually get an Oscar nomination. Yeah, that good.
The action is out of this world. No shaky camera, no confusing punching or shooting, just about perfect action sequences. By the way, I think there are at least 25 explosions in this movie, so does that prove it is action-packed?
I really think Sam Worthington was great as Marcus Wright, which is just about the main character in this movie, next to John Connor. He played this part very well, and he will become a great movie star. Same with Anton Yelchin, who played Kyle Reese as a teenager. He's John Connor's father, as we know from the first Terminator movie.
The Terminators are believable and almost unstoppable. They are great villians and hope to see them again in the future.
The Bad: The story is actually very confusing at the beginning. It becomes less confusing by the end, but still had me scratching my head. They just didn't explain it very well.
You didn't even get to know John Connor very well in this. He almost seemed like a secondary character to me, even though he's supposed to be the main one.
This movie did not have very good character development. You don't get to know about 3/4ths of any of the characters.
Overall: Despite some minor bad things, Terminator: Salvation is a fantastic summer movie that is worth checking out. Not as good as Terminator 2, but a really great movie with about perfect action and effects, and good heart. If you come to see a movie with great and big action sequences, effects, and explosions, Terminator: Salvation will amaze you and blow you away. 9/10.

Thanks for the comment on the violence. I'll show that to my parents!
I think I already asked this, but where did you get an edited Terminator 2? Or did you record it?
Thanks for the review, I really want to see it now!
I recorded it on a VCR, and made it into a DVD at my school. You're welcome on the comment, and it's true. I think the Dark Knight was actually a little worse than this! So it's okay.
That's cool how you made the DVD at school. By the way, when does school get out for you guys?
Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention-
I'll bring my PS3 to the reunion. Check out my new game reviews on my blog, I'll bring them both, if you want!
Sounds great if you bring it! Oh, and by the way, school got out on May 22nd, so it's been a while.
Yeah, I am definitely bringing the PS3. Sadly, the new Batman game doesn't come out until August 25, so I can't bring it. :'(
Oh yeah, about Terminator, I have the game on my iPod touch, and it's so fun! I'll show it to you when I come to your house. I didn't get the PS3 Terminator Salvation game because it got bad reviews (5.0/10 from gamespot.com). Can't wait to come!
My dad won't take me to see Terminator cuz of the bad reviews. He said definitely on DVD, though.
