Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)
A Joke and an insult to Terminator fans
If you are fan of the early Terminator movies and are invested in and care about the characters, events and story line then Terminator dark fate gives you a big F U!
I am a big Terminator fan, with T1 and T2 being my favorites, T3 and Salvation are a drop off from the 1st 2 films but are still enjoyable and have some good elements and have replay value. I did not like Genisys that much and is not in my collection.
**Spoilers**
This movie attempts to do what Halloween 2018 did in retconning the sequels, the problem with that is we are not machines and cannot delete those movies from our memory banks. Those sequels were pitched,approved,produced,and released to the public.....they happened so I cannot pretend those movies do not exist. According to dark fate only T1 and T2 happened so this is the true T3....mmmk so the opening scene John Connor is killed by a Arnold t-800 in 1998 when he is 13 years old, it is brutal happens if front of Sarah and it is very hard to watch, I cannot believe they thought this was a good idea, but that ruins the movie for me that is like taking Luke Skywalker out of Return of the Jedi.
Dark fate is nothing more than a rehash and re packaging of Terminator 1,2,and 3 (with identity politics inserted)-a terminator is sent back in time to kill the future leader of the resistance and a lone protector is sent back by the resistance to save the future leader. So they kill John Connor off because in their woke minds its not cool or PC to have a white male as the savior of humanity, instead it is imperative to have a mexican girl take that role and the protector is a girl/transgender looking with a boys haircut..They also have the evil terminator at one point dressed up as a border patrol agent down on the USA/Mexican border and the mexican girl new leader say to Sarah and transgender protector " I wish you was not so white" Alot of spanish is used so be prepared to real alot of subtitles..... So you see Tim Miller and his cronies had an agenda and its easy to see.Arnold does not show up until an hour into the movie and his character is the most laughable thing in this movie, after killing John he had no further orders so he found a woman with a boy and became a family guy/terminator the last 20 years he goes by Carl and even has a business-Carl's Draperies oh and he grew a conscious he felt bad for killing John so to make up for it for the last 20 years he has been sending text to Sarah with time and location of when other terminators are sent back so she can show up and take them out.....it's like did competent adults come up with this crap? and how did he get Sarah's number?
did he find her on facebook or something? what a joke.Oh and James Cameron flat out lied to us saying Eddie Furlong is back as John, the maybe 10 seconds that John is on screen is a digital likeness of John at age 13
So lets rate this piece of crap
For lying to us about Eddie Furlong reprising his role as John then killing him off in disturbing fashion when he is 13, I am gonna take 5 stars off for that , because that is a devastating blow for me
this movie is nothing but cgi not many pratical effects and 1991 T2 cgi looks better there is another star gone
rehashing but repackaging and saying look its new and different another star gone
inserting your BS politics into a terminator movie- another star off for that
I give this movie 2 stars for some cool action chase scenes and blowing stuff up
My final thought- I will be retconning this movie along with Genisys so my terminator collection is T1,2,3, Salvation
Flashfire (1994)
Solid Movie
Fires,murder,shootouts,corruption,sex, a beautiful damsel in distress, and Billy Zane,Louis Gossett jr good movie
The Karate Kid (2010)
Lame,terrible,atrocious,garbage,too long
Jaden Smith needs acting lessons, he was not very relateable or likable, he was too young and small for the role you do not believe for one minute that he has a chance against the other boys, and the villains....meh, oh and he learns kung fu not karate. Jackie Chan is the only reason i gave this 2 stars instead of one as he is the only thing going for this movie. I watched this for free on the roku channel, sorry for those of you that wasted your money on this trash but I wasn't gonna spend a dime on it. The original was a great movie for so many reasons, and it had true villains-Johnny,Dutch, sensei Kreese ....Cobra Kai .....never dies . Do yourself a favor watch the original or the sequels even but not this piece of crap ...unless you want to waste 2 hours and 20 min of your time
The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)
The NOT SO amazing spiderman
There are so many issues with this move, It felt like a low budget B movie and not a very good one. The biggest is no character development. The actor playing Peter Parker was weak and fidgety I just did not care for his performance , there is no best friend Harry and that whole dynamic.
This movie is way too long (136 min) it felt so dragged out, spiderman takes his mask off too much in view of the public. I just remember all the great action scenes of the Sam Raimi Spiderman with green goblin flying on his glider and thowing bombs and while watching this one i felt bored wanting more.
Sally field does not work as aunt May nor did Martin Sheen as uncle Ben
The only reason I gave this movie a 2 was Dennis Leary did a good job portraying his character. If you want a good spidey movie watch the 3 Tobey Spiderman movies they blow this piece of trash away
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Complete Garbage
I grew up a huge fan of the Transformers cartoon in the 1980s so therefore I do not like this crap, there is so much going on, Im like what am I even looking at, you cant tell whos who Ugh, In the cartoons they was very distinct looking they tried to make em look too complex plus in the cartoon they had personalities and there was dynamics of relationships, this is just blah never want to see it again
Fire Birds (1990)
Popcorn,soft drink, Fire birds...yea a good time
I have always been a helicopter fan,growing up i put models together, so i was excited when i heard about Fire Birds. One of the pilots that did the flying in this movie served in Vietnam and Desert Storm, so yes you are seeing a real army pilot fly real helicopters its not like the cgi crap in today's movies. Is it 100% accurate? no, is the dialogue mind blowing? no, there are some corny lines, but if you care about stuff like that then id suggest watching a documentary on PBS, but if you want a good solid action movie that entertains , then i say check it out. I give it 2 thumbs up.
On a Technical note. I had this movie on VHS and DVD, for some reason the VHS copy had better sound, when i put the DVD in i would have to turn the volume way up but it still didn't sound as good as the VHS copy
The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Hot Garbage
Easy this is the absolute WORST "Batman" movie I Have ever seen in my life. The Villain Bane is not interesting at all- no personality and not much background information. Hey Christopher Nolan have you heard of a thing called Character development? The plot is weak, and the movie just is long an drawn out with not very much quality content.
Do not waste your time or money. I would rather watch Batman and Robin (1997) with George Clooney 10 times in a row than watch this piece of dump just one more time. They should have just came up with a different name for this movie. It does not have the feel of a Batman movie at all!
