Terminator Takes Box Office Beat Down from Ben Stiller

But Angels and Demons beat both of them, it brought in $69 million in the United States and $159 million worldwide in its opening weekend.

IF u liked the Da vinchi code, u will like Angels and Demons, very good movie i would half to say better then terminator but star trek was overall winner lol

See Ya, The ShakeBake

I dont know how, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian beat terminator. I know its a kids movie, and it has vader and like almost every character in the world...but over Terminator? com'n.

I might see NATM: BOTS btw....still thinking about it....or hey, might just watch it online.

What about character development, what character didn't you get? What im asking is can you give me a specific problem about the character development?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[frick]in Night at the Museum! The first one was on tv last night, its shite..i mean i know its a kids movie and all but thats really no excuse because look at the great kids movies out there that dont suck ass. Anyway, needless to say i wont be seeing the sequel.

Cant wait to see Terminator though..when it eventually opens here in 2015!

John and Kate's relationship wasnt developed the way they should of shown it, they werent affectionate with each other, and thats primarily to the script didnt give them much screen time to be shown as husband and wife, because if the script was done right, it would of flushed out the characters more. I mean you dont even care about these characters, and yet their suppose to be very important. The main characters were Marcus Wright and Kyle Reese....but what about John? Also, John conner comes off trying to be a leader. KEYWORD: TRYS.....if they had more character devleopment and relationship built between each character rather than focusing on the ones that didnt matter such as Moon bloosgood and sam worthington relationship which by the way was a total waste, if mracus wright was gonna die anyways....maybe they would of focused more on john and kate. The problem is the movie wasnt executed right, its a badass action film, but story-wise its bland.

Hopefully, in T5...if They be focus on building a BOND between, Kate and John Conner, I think it would be better overall, she gives him the courage, the hope for survival because she bares his child,...I mean she is SUPPOSE to be one of the main influence in how he becomes a GREAT LEADER, this movie did poor job showing that their even together. T3 might or might now have been a good movie to some people, I liked it. But, the Kate bruster Arnold talked about, wasnt the same Kate we saw in this movie...she barely had any screen time. These are just a few issues, theres alot more I pointed out.Oh, and that kiss scene dont mean shit, and what the hell is she doing as pregnant woman [frick]ing around with robots? Its goofy thats what it is.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NO, no, no, [frick] the people that haven't seen the other movies, if they dont know whats going on by now they really shouldn't be watching the damn movie. Your the type that says lets make the movie different from the comic, we wouldn't want it like the comic because then not everyone will know whats going on, so we have to bastardize it to appease the masses when in reality it sucks for everyone.


If I had to set through the whole back story of John Conner again, this movie might have been shit, turns out they didnt do that, and the movie was good.


If you dont get it after this im down talking to you, I might talk at you, I mean your a nice guy, but are professional relationship is over man..

@ Yohon Kali... thats not what I meant, and i dont care about threats either, nor would I write the stuff I do, or say half the stuff I did in the past. lol

I didnt want the movie to have a backstory, since it is a sequel it doesnt need [i agreeed with you on that along time ago]

Yeah i have said in the past, that sometimes we should just not follow any comic, and just create our own mythology with characters. But, if you ARE following a comic, than i expect it to be on SPOT, i dont want chnages and bullshit.

The movie overall was entertaining, but it was a good action flick, but not a GREAT WRITTEN ONE. It has its flaws... I like some drama in my action movies, i guess thats what im trying to say.

For example) The Watchmen....Geeez I love that movie. The movie takes patience, alot of people dont have that because were fed this action and thrill stuff, and the uadience doesnt want to listen to an iontelligent script. The movie followed the comic page for page, left maybe two scenes out...but overall the movie was very faithful and amazing. Had drama and eveyrhting.

Terminator has good special effects, great pace, dint keep you bored, but there were some cheesy things about the movie...such as his pregnant wife holding the "robot snake thing"... The bikers that wanted to rape or whatever moon bloodgood..."she even says the meachine are the enemies not each other"...lol....these kinda thinsg are stupid and cheesy....if they are going to do these things...have a better script. dont feed us bullshit. Most movies today are nothing like the movies in the past. For example remakes....Was Halloween remake better than the original? To me No. i'm very picky with my films now, I used not care...but shit 10-15 years of crappy movies....kinda changes a person.

I agree with moving forward, but they have to focus on John's life, they have to push him to be that leader....shit, man...he should of known how to take down some of those t-600 easily....the t-800 i can understand...yeah hes super strong...more advance...never fought before...but certaining things....were just silly. I'm 23 years old, I believ maybe im getting more mature and not easily fasinated by Fx as i used to.

So far to me the movies that will always be great to me based of a comicbook/graphic novel will be:

Batman Begins [loved it more than the dark knight..maybe because its passive, and hopeful]

The Dark Knight [Great film, but depressing everytime you watch it, which makes it what it is]

The Watchmen [very under-rated...and faithful adaptaion]

V for Vendetta [I think the only thing they really
altered and changed was that natalie portman was suppose to be HOOKER, and they changed her character...no biggie, but overall it followed the graphic novel]

Incredible Hulk [Finally, their getting it build character development, let us feel who were watching]

Iron Man [Same thing for iron man, great script by the wyay...no WITTY script....now can they do it again?!]

Terminator 1 and 2 [Good flicks age well so far]

...Those are just a few that I will always love, and cant complain against....i love superman by the way but the only two superman movies i can truly say is worth watching is Superman 1 and Richard donners cut superman 2. Everything else sucked lol...i forced myself to like superman returns...and in the end i was like who you kidding. IT sucked!...because it wasnt original, it was lame, and same as superman 1 and 2....well thats how terminator 4 felt to me, like the rest of them...felt like the war hadnt even started.

I really hope in T5, its back to being rated R, and back to being dark, and scary themed...I'm still waiting for an army of robots, murdering humans with laser guns lol

@Aiiwolf

Man have you ever read a comic? Watchmen the movie only left out two scenes from the comic? The only thing they altered or changed in the movie V for Vendetta was the fact that Evey was a prostitute? You're out of your mind.

Oh and by the way it does deviate from the novel a bit, especially seeing that the novel took place before DC and was not a sequel like Howard made it.

@TheHawk

Highest opening weekend since Indiana Jones? I take it you're joking.

great movie, followed the old story line. Didn't have a crazy big man vs. machine all out battle scene. |But, other than that there is nothing really to complain about. i don't see you nerds doing any better.

@Real.
I think it was the pacing and the score of this one that did it for me, I really like DC so it was close.

The book was much better, I liked the Angles the book better than the DC book. I miss a lot of the things they changed, but I guess it was done to make things more believable, and to fit in t=with the fact that they made A&D a sequel to DC. McGregor gave what I felt was one of his best performances. I think they toned him down a bit so you wouldn't immediatly assume he was the villain.

I recently re read A&D and it would have been hard to play back on film for a general audience. I think they did the best they could on it. My main prob;em was that there wasn't enough character development, except for Langdon, Vetra and the rest did not really develop much. I liked it in the book when the elector Mortati became the new Pope and the last Cardinal drowned, that was one thing I wish they had left intact.

Hawk: yeah... i know what you mean. I think the book was way better than the movie... way better. langdon was Langdon so alright, but Vetra she didnt bring anything I think. She was just so bland and blase about it all. They didnt direct her enough because that is not how she was. And the Assassin LOVED to kill. He didnt even need a reason let alone would never have APOLOGISED for the pain inflicted, the bastard. he loved all that crap. The character menancing ways didnt translate well in the movie. I know what you mean in fitting it all into the movie but what they did fit in they werent true to the book. DC movie was more true i think. You said to make it more believable but since when did that stop hollywood before.. lol... I think Ewan McGregor should have been allowed to go all out like in the book. They stunted his character growth. He could have been phenomenal!!! ... It would have made the movie better and really, isnt that what it was all about? his madness realized?

I liked the ending best too in the book.

I just saw Terminator the otehr day.....first off, it was damn good, but second of all, after watching Sam Worthington, who I was totally unfamiliar with, I swear I just saw Hal Jordan. I guess one could nitpick about his hairline, but I can definitely see this dude playing Hal Jordan.

@ Alten2345

I own so much comics, that i ahve to store them in boxes, or in the damn garage...enough to make me forget stories iver read...probably why I mix alot of things up. Yes, she was a damn prostitute...I remember having to conversation before with a fan of the novel. As for the Watchmen I remember a while back saying they should make a prequel for "Rorscach"...due to alot of the thinsg they didnt add, but as story wise....I know their going to ADD A few scenes in they left out...i bet more than 2 lol....but as for NightHawk getting revenge of his own? Why ddint they add that? THeir not going to add page for page...and identical scene to scene..., if thats what you thought i meant, thats just stupid....but as for following the story close to where they didnt miss a scene...i say maybe 2-3...than again i probably should re-read the watchmen...been a while. But, I dont think im going to go through those damn boxes am i?
