This film deserves better. I enjoyed the thrill of the scares but I also loved the jokes and gags that went with it. The plot was intriguing and overall the movie was very entertaining. Fox was perfect to lead and did more than just charm us with his looks, he actually ACTED. I'm certain critics who panned this movie are just people who prefer overrated movies like Titanic. I bet it's jealousy of the brilliant special effects and acting that brought it to life.
i read the book. okey cute pie marky you are cute in this film. you are the best.
Why call this mess Alice in Wonderland when it is, in fact, a sequel?
wanna go to sleep? Put this stinker on.
This film is beyond bad.
Whenever I've had a bad day at work, I relaxe by watching the Wolfman tear out people's throats and impaling them with his claws. A good, fun film with amazing make-up by Rick Baker.
Did the female chimp have a "thing" for marky Mark? Gross!!! And how the hell did paul Giamatti's ape character know what asprin was? God, this was a bad movie!!!
God-awful sequel to the better origional.
This is one of Richard Gere's best movies and the music is simply AWESOME! DON'T MISS IT!
Tim Burton always knows how to create colorful, interesting universes to populate his characters, and this is no exception. However, this time he delivers less than a masterpiece. The characters are zany but many without purpose, and the continuation concept is clever but unnecessary. In this case, it may have been preferable for Burton to just re-adapt the book.
A great film to let go with. "Keep moving forward" is my new motto!
This is the film that introduced me to Johnny Depp, for which I am eternally grateful! As a fellow reviewer said, perfect Halloween viewing (though I watched a love scene in the film in class on Valentine's Day; good timing, but the movie's not a full-blown romance)!
This is the fourth movie in a long-running series. With few exceptions, that is usually when a series falls apart (think Jaws 4, Superman 4, Batman & Robin). 'Salvation' works mainly because of a good cast and solid pacing, with some nice effects thrown in. As a summer action movie, it does its job to entertain. But it's still a far cry from "Judgment Day" and even a bit short from the original. It pairs up about evenly with 'Rise of the Machines," however.
The film had some great acting, and some awe-inspiring cinematography. And yes, I loved all the action scenes. However, there was no real substance to the plot; instead, we get typical Hollywood quasi-intelligent cliched conversations that try to sound deep and meaningful. Needless to say, it ends up being cheesy. Another problem I had with the movie was it's PG-13 rating. Hollywood insists on making money; to their credit, they do it well. But to take an R-rated franchise and dull it down to a PG-13 is just obnoxious. They did the same thing to the Die Hard movies (Live Free or Die Hard's unrated version was SO much better than the theatrical one). It's not that I love blood and f-bombs, it's that it makes the movie feel more like it's predecessors.
Bottom line: while obviously not being anywhere near as good as the first two due to some script flaws and it's weak rating, Terminator Salvation still managed to entertain with it's loud and exciting action. Plus, it was better than the Rise of the Machines.
Disappointing to say the least. The movie is a one note bore until late the film. The dialogue is atrocious. Slipping in the "I'll be back" line was as forced a line as I've ever seen. In fact, it drew an audible groan from the crowd I saw it with. Leaps in logic and rather mundane action drop this film to the bottom of the barrel in terms of summer blockbuster material. I honestly can't think of one thing the director did right. Shooting this one note crapfest through panty-hose to give it a grainy feel may have seemed like an artistic touch but all it did was add to the unsavory feel and genuine disappointment this movie will generate.
i like this movie

This is one of Tim Burton's most sumptuous pictures, dripping with atmosphere and superb production design. Depp provides a more humorous take on Ichabod Crane, while maintaining an air of respectability in the character. Ricci is lovely. Stylish and entertaining. Perfect Halloween fare.
Salvation is pretty good as a post-apocalyptic war movie with spectacular visual effects, but as a Terminator movie, it has a completely different vibe from the other three. I went in expecting something less than T1 and T2, and thus was not really disappointed. Salvation is probably almost as good as T3 (which I happen to like), but it almost feels like it's in a completely different genre. You have men fighting against all manner of machines, and the Terminators themselves are almost incidental, at least until the finale. Anton Yelchin is great as a young Kyle Reese and, as Marcus Wright, Sam Worthington completely steals the movie away from Christian Bale. I would likely watch it again, but this is definitely a different kind of Terminator movie.
As the name suggests...Feel like Sleeping...boring as Hell
I love how this movie lures you in with a goofy Ghostbusters vibe and then slowly, but surely transforms into a hardcore supernatural thriller. Fox makes a tremendous lead and carries the movie on his back. Not perfect, but a cool, cool movie, nonetheless.
Closer to the book

The book was great so the fact that this movie more closely resembles it was a welcome suprise. However, the original movie is an all-time family favorite so this one paled by comparison.
Finally a movie for kids that is clean AND exciting. Great all around!
Meet the Robinsons
= bad movie.
Bored out of my mind. I had high hopes for this one...very sad.
The dinosaur in the movie trailer was the best part

Geez, this is for kids? The dinosaur might have a "big head and little arms," but this movie has little appeal and a huge plot. The action took a long time to develop, so plan a snack and a few break times during this one! Watchable, but not a total winner.
This is Bill Murray's flat-out best performance ever. The jokes are non-stop, and if you just don't get it, well, "Mother, help me."
