Terminator Salvation (Bob says 1 out of 2)

1. Did I enjoy it? YES
It's been a trend lately to create new sequels for movie series that have laid dormant for some time (Star Trek, Indiana Jones, Rambo, Rocky). And now we have another Terminator movie, minus Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton (for the most part). What's left is a standard action movie with some special effects that raise it slightly above average. The unexpected cameo near the end was nice, but I did want more. Still, the second chance redemption angle in the script is a good one, and you'll want to see this film if you're interested in seeing anything Terminator related.

2. Would I watch it again? NO
I was entertained watching the film, but it's not as good as the first two films in the series. Christian Bale is a great lead in many films, but it's not the same without Arnold now that he's running California.
