I absolutely loved it, it was my personal favorite aside from Judgement Day. Christian Bale does a great job at being the new John Connor, but even more impressive is the special effects acting of Sam Worthington playing Marcus Wright. Marcus Wright is easily my favorite character in all the Terminators.
I don't want to let off any spoilers, because I hate when people do that, so I will try to keep my opinion broad. I would recommend at the least renting it, if your a fan of the series. If you don't like the series, well you probably won't like this one as it is the same character (John Connor), new problems.
The storyline in this one, was way better than the 3rd (in my opinion). It kept you on the edge of your seat, wondering what will happen next, hoping it will never stop. I would definitely not call it a disappointment!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
