The "beat" or "pulse" or whatever in the new trailer is off putting to me. I liked the first trailer a lot more. But I'm still stoked to the gills, and I love the new poster.
Man that's depressing: all the action heroes I grew up with are getting old and there's hardly any taking their place.
So, what edge does the good 800 have against the bad 800? I would think the bad 800 would be newer and faster because the good one has been around using his joints and such for a couple decades. I'm thinking we see Arnie vs Arnie standoff, bad Arnie gets his face blown off in 10 seconds, then its an Arnie vs Termie fight. But i hope im wrong and see some Old Flynn+Young CLU-type of interaction where we see both faces for a good amount of time together
I know it's been 12 years but he hasn't aged well since T3, he was doing really good for a while then bam it caught up. That said he's still in better shape than most of us will be at that age lol. I do like the poster though. Hate to say it but this could be the last time we see a non-cgi Arnold in a Terminator movie. Man that's depressing: all the action heroes I grew up with are getting old and there's hardly any taking their place.
Plus let's face it trying to make him look T3 young would probably cost as much as the CGI arnie lol. I do like the new T800 endo look though, it has the sleek look and feel of the original movie's.
Something happened between End of Days and 2003 that he looked significantly different. Maybe it was inevitable lol!
Sorry but the idea of Cameron resurrecting this series is wishful thinking. What's he done in the last twenty years that's inspired you? Titanic? Avatar? He's now a romantic, tree hugging vegan that's lost his edge. According to the press, he's blessed at least some of this Genisys nonsense. I think Cameron has lost his mojo and fear T1, T2 and the ride are it.
I just have zero faith that today's Hollywood can put out a product that is true to the originals. There is too much money and too high a profile associated with the franchise and too much pressure to create an international Michael Bayi-ish blockbuster...involving Arnold.
Our only hope hope is licensed lower visibility media like TV, books and video games. And most of that has frankly been crap so far.
I'd say Clint Eastwood, who is older than anyone on your list, is still bringing the mojo. By the same token, he's smart enough to not re-visit old work.
Regarding the names you gave, I wouldn't say Tarantino has lost any of his edge at all and is going in brave new creative directions with each film.
Pretty cool. Arnold was wearing a Terminator 2 style jacket on The Tonight Show last night.

I don't know whether to think that's cool or be more embarrassed and saddened by how much Arnold is being whored to try to put this next movie on the map.
You build a real Terminator that actually looks like Arnold to do all the PR for this movie and it's still going to be bad.
