‘Terminator: Dark Fate’ Review: This Isn’t the Worst ‘Terminator’ Movie, but It Should Definitely Be the Last One
Linda Hamilton is more of a badass than ever, but this painfully generic action movie proves that the "Terminator" franchise is obsolete.

Terminator: Dark Fate's Post-Judgment Day Future Is Female, and We're Here for It
Terminator: Dark Fate is an engaging story about three, tremendously powerful women. That’s it. That’s the review. (Ok, not really...)

Sorry but 63 year old women are not "badass". Theres a reason why she was holding this shotgun like this;

When I think of an action flick I'd like to see, my mind immediately thinks geriatrics and a tranny for the heroes, and a lawncare worker for the villain.

To be fair, Arnold has pulled off multiple geriatric action flicks, and Sylvester Stallone has made some of the best of his franchises (Rocky and Rambo (obviously Rocky 1 is the best, but 6, Creed, Creed 2, Rambo, Last Blood, etc, are awesome as fuck)) in his old age. There's something about these icons when they get old that still makes me love seeing them on the screen.

I don't think Arnold is anywhere near Stallone's level when it comes to aged performances. They could replace him entirely with CGI and I don't think anyone would care, or barely notice.

it pains me to agree with that assessment as Arnold was one of my favorite actors growing up. the dude oozed shitlordiness through the 80s and then he toned his shit down in the 90s and pretended he was never a pussygrabbing, muscle flexing madman.
ever since he became a politician he's had this aura of butthurt cuckery about him.
its like since he got caught cheating with a chunky mexican nanny, he's been so embarrassed that he imagines everyone is pointing and laughing at him. no dude, we all have done nasty chicks we arent proud of admitting to. we get that you were horny. but stop being a fucking pussy. retrieve your balls before you die. Stallone kept his through all the drama in his life.

The Expendables was awesome, 2 was /good/ and 3 was a sign it needed to go the other direction toward more 1 than 2... but all in all, do not forget the expendables on the list of stallones latter life awesomeness.

Expendables 3 was major fuck up. iirc, stallone got more control but studio had him agree to make it pg-13 etc
after 3, the studio wanted to make ExpendaBelles (all female spin off) but that tanked
Stallone, Arnold, and Crews quit 4, but year later Stallone posted it would be out in 2018

You cant marvel violence a "80s action" throwback movie.
I do not think that Rousey and "the new kids" were neccecarally bad in 3 or a bad idea, but you could tell it was neutered in PG-13land - and not just "oh all we did was remove some CGI blood luzluzl" - it was the lightening of the dramatic theme, and lets face it... there is not much "theme" to lessen when it comes to these type of movies - and with that, the violence and blood etc. are accentuation of the story. So you shave off some of the "stark darkness" of the story AND neuter its harsh visuals and you end up castrating what it "is" - and then add on that we are trying to get "into" a new crew and their dynamics...and well...yeah

They are here for you and will absolutely not stop until you spend your last cent on shitty Hollywood remakes (*and* tripple-aaaaaaaaa video games - lets not discriminate).
Yeah, meh rehash of T1 and T2 with mainly female cast, diverse male casualties (they even have a black and an asian guy die in a single scene, yay diversity!), and bigger explosions. Comparisons with TFA are spot on.
At least granny Linda did have several funny lines. Acting was OK, but the cute latina got too cringey for my taste by the end (can't tell more because spoilers). Arnold disappointed after making a claim that he's extremely funny.
