I'm nice enough to give it 3 stars. I still love it but it's certainly not better than the other 5 terminators, dark fate included.
Now let's look at the good qualities of this film
.arnolds back
.jai courtney is decent as Kyle reese
.hello Kyle reese. It is nice to meet you.
.action was passably decent
.visuals was passable
.great callback from the first movie tho the 3 punks not so great.
.final battle was good
. Asian t1000 special effect is better than Robert Patrick
Suck qualities
.emilia Clarke is not a good Sarah Connor.
. As mention above, the three punks that suppose to resembles the 3 punks from 1984 did not look like them
.turning John Connor into the series villain is just terrible. Spoiling it in the trailer is even worse.
. As good as Jason Clarke is, he's not a good John Connor compared to Edward furlong, nick stahl, and Christian bale
.as much as I love Arnie, changing the idea to him surviving in the end just ruined the emotional pivotal moment. He's supposed to die which he did 5/6 times in the franchise
.the Asian t1000 was underused, it's no use slapping his name on the main cast list
