Why not wait a while to see how the show does then when that has finished or been cancelled give the actors in that show a chance to shine in a movie that could finish it off.

Think about: 1. He's very very very popular right now thanks to Dark Knight 2. He's a good action star Post reply 16 out of 17 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?
markingswall	2. RE: something that bugs me about termintor salvation Dec 1 2008, 5:07 PM EST \| Post edited: Dec 1 2008, 5:07 PM EST I don't agree with your post. I think Bale is a good actor and I'm only talking about his work prior to Batman. Eversince he's Batman I don't really follow him anymore but he was terrific as Patrick Bateman but to each his or her own. But to cast him as Connor....why don't they make him the new Bond too, while they're at it, we need a new Indiana Jones too. He's overexposed, one of my friends says he doesn't wanna see Bruce Wayne as John Connor and I can relate. So basically I think Bale is a good actor but I don't know what to think of him as JC. Salvation's biggest mistake has to be McG. The guy who made 2 Charlie's Angels movies where the chicks couldn't even kick above their own waists. If I see women "faking" the fight scenes I always cringe. The same with Kill Bill. I'm sorry Uma but you can't display a fighter, you hit and kick like someone who cannot fight. Summer in Serenity, finally someone who delivered. Sorry, I'm straying a bit offtopic. This cast is superior to that of Salvation. But I can't judge the guy who plays Marcus. Never seen him before so I'll give him a fair shot. Moon Bloodgood sucks though. Post reply 5 out of 9 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?

Yes I would imagine that's almost exactly how the meeting went, that's how Hollywood works. Do you honestly think they would give the role to Thomas Dekker when his biggest claim to fame besides Terminator is a half season on Heroes? Also Bale can act, go watch The Prestige.

ScotWithOne_t	5. RE: something that bugs me about termintor salvation Dec 1 2008, 5:51 PM EST \| Post edited: Dec 1 2008, 5:51 PM EST Bale is a fantastic actor. He was great in American Psycho. He did good sci-fi action in Equillibrium. Great dramatic acting in The Machinist and The Prestige. I would say that Batman, although a cool movie, was probably his worst role so far from an acting standpoint. That and the fact that he got upstaged BIG TIME by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. I think He'll make a good John Connor. Post reply 8 out of 9 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?

I would say that Bale is OK, maybe too much mainstream, but surely he knows his job and he will bring some interest from the media on the production. Post reply 4 out of 5 found this valuable.

Are we all forgetting Reign of Fire happened or what? But I'm not actually worried about Bale in Salvation. I'm worried it's just gonna be a big-budget Hollywood movie with "awesome!" giant robots and a "franchise revitalizing" "dark" feel that ditches things like plasma rifles and overall doesn't even measure up to the scrappy feel the short flashbacks of T1, T2, and TSCC's future scenes had.

RE: something that bugs me about termintor salvation Dec 1 2008, 6:11 PM EST \| Post edited: Dec 1 2008, 6:11 PM EST What bugs me most is that Cameron won't be in it =.= And TSCC is going to have nothing to do with T4. Which sucks, cause overall, TSCC will OWN T4. Only thing is, T4 will have more, bigger explosions. Post reply 2 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?

Strange concept...he had done worse. 2)That could be a problem: in particular the harvesters look too much like something from the Transformers movie than Terminator.

GermaricanMix	11. RE: something that bugs me about termintor salvation Dec 1 2008, 6:20 PM EST \| Post edited: Dec 1 2008, 6:20 PM EST Christian Bale is actually my favorite actor. I think he's absolutely amazing and transforms into the characters he's portraying. He did an amazing job in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight was less about him and more about Heath. He didn't have a lot of character material to work with and what he did was just fine. That being said, I'm not worried about him as John Connor. I'm worried about the director, personally.

The original poster needs to see more of Bales movies, OTHER than the Batman romps to understand the power of Bale. He is one of our best talents currently without question.

RE: something that bugs me about termintor salvation Dec 1 2008, 7:37 PM EST \| Post edited: Dec 1 2008, 7:37 PM EST And it has already been posted, but the director is the biggest threat to this movie. McG. Just look at this magnificent pile of fail: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0629334/ His claim to fame is Charlies frickin' Angels for God's sake. Let's hope T4 is his breakout role as a GREAT director... but I won't be holding my breath. If T4 turns out to be another cinematic ABORTION like T3, I'm going to crush myself in a hydraulic press. IMO...they should have scaled back the CGI budget and invested in a better director like Michael Mann or Ridley Scott... or... I know I'll regret this later... Michael Bay. gags Of course...it would be kinda hard to have product placement for Nike, Miller Lite, Pepsi, Audi, Fed Ex and JVC in a post-apocalyptic future movie....but the explosions would be SWEET!

THX-1138	15. RE: something that bugs me about termintor salvation Dec 2 2008, 12:34 AM EST I think Bale was a great choice for John Connor. This saga needs to grow after disintegrating into a Schwarzenegger-fest and Bale is one of the hottest actors in Hollywood right now. He's just the type of star power this movie needs to get people into theaters next summer. If the movie does well financially, it means more Terminator-inspired material. That's good for us fans no matter how you slice it. Post reply 7 out of 7 found this valuable. Do you find this valuable? Do you?

Em-Ned	19. RE: something that bugs me about termintor salvation Dec 2 2008, 6:47 AM EST \| Post edited: Dec 2 2008, 6:47 AM EST I like Bale, and I totally can see him as John Connor. There are a lots of things that can make this movie suck, but I doubt Bale will be one of those. On a side note: Thomas is a bit too young to play a grown up John if you ask me(I wonder how they'll solve that in the series...if they ever show a grown up John Connor). But I like him as John though. I also liked him on Heroes...better than fly boy West...I actually thought he was the coolest non hero of the show. Post reply 3 out of 3 found this valuable.
