Now, this I might go see...or wait...I'm a boy, I'm a real boy! Hasn't this been done before?

  I think Christian Bale is an incredible actor. I can't really place him as an actor although Bogart comes to mind, or perhaps a younger, less European sort of Liam Neeson. I guess my thought is more like Graham Greene...Bale is on the edge of some heart of darkness, and goes back and forth between hope, existential angst and dogged resolution. He doesn't expect to prevail except in his roles where he's a psychotic of some sort. In this case, I think he's perfect. Deep breath, shrug the shoulders and do it because you're here, now, and this is what you are supposed to do. Failure is definitely an option, but with failure comes annihilation. John Connor is not going to stand stoically by disaster. Rather, he's going to feel, shrug and continue to do what he thinks he's supposed to do. 

I skipped the last rendition of Terminator. Sorry Arnie, but you're now officially close to The Rolling Stones. Governor Schwarzenegger is not all that far from Sir Mick Jagger in terms of ludicrousness -- you have become your own Tribute Band. Arnie probably should head to supporting roles after he gets tossed out the Governator role. Still...bringing him back will make this a really look like a reunion tour.

 I'm not going to skip this one. I rarely go to films in theaters, but  I might make an exception for this one....
