WW1984 is waaaay too high on this list. Same for Love and Thunder.

Oof… I don’t disagree with the list perse, but dang a lot of those ‘gems’ are way too high

My unpopular opinion: I actually like Terminator: Salvation. The script should have skipped the “Make it PG13 and try to please everyone phase”, but it’s still an OK movie. Plus Christian Bale did a great job in that role.

Yeah salvation was fine. But somehow the person making this list thought genisys was decent enough to be the only terminator sequel not on the list.
neidu2@feddit.nl 2 months ago
Genesis was an absolute stinker. Here they forgot everything except that PG13 commission I mentioned earlier.
Squizzy@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Genysis was pg13, Dark Fate wasnt.

My unwanted opinion. 😄 Terminator 3 isn’t too bad and I give most of it’s credit for the clever switch and bleak ending.
I watched Terminator: Salvation a few weeks ago and it’s not bad at all. The grubby Mad Max look works quite well for that universe and I also enjoyed the new designs of Terminators.
Sigh. Genisys is just a mess. The faithful recreation of the opening of the original film is the only thing going for it. Either I missed it or a major plot point is never explained (possibly left for the unmade sequels), all the hype about Matt Smith appearing in it was rather pointless and the marketing department decided to use the biggest surprise plot point in all the trailers. Oh, and Jai Courtney is a terrible Kyle.
If I had to be kind, I’d say Genisys is a solid action movie but a bad terminator film.
I’m going to watch Dark Fate again this week, I haven’t watched that since it’s opening, see how I feel about the last entry to the franchise.
