[@jako90201]

This comment thread made my day

[@DSC24]

James just can't verbally abuse anything. He's just too nice. But Mike on the other hand.. "This shit is a fucking mess"

[@Jamazon]

Which is ironic, considering he plays the nerd

[@pallafox]

JamaLlama Well Mike contributed a lot to the previous nerd videos including the dialogue. James was the humble actor who chewed a lot of those words.

[@omegarugal9283]

JamaLlama the nerd has a filthy mouth, apparently James doesn`t...

[@kingkold]

Not james , but the nerd can

[@NerdyTransformed]

VixXstazosJOB Thats scarily accurate XD

[@fountaincap]

To respond to Mike's point about the T-800 always managing to kill more advanced terminators, I explain it in my own mind by saying that the T-800 is like a Nokia phone or a 1993 Toyota Camry: crude, when compared to newer models, but somehow, more resilient and reliable.

[@Games_and_Music]

They never make them like they did in the old days!

[@pinehawk9600]

You're so right about the Camry

[@murrayrodriguez878]

They dont make them like they used to

[@JimPlaysGames]

They don't need new ideas. They need old ideas. Like substance over style and story over special effects.

[@estebanperez2557]

10000%

[@kelinleeheller]

terminator went wrong when it forgot its roots..its a HORROR sci-fi. ever since T2 (great film) they've assumed people want to see terminator as a series of action movies in ever expanding scale (both in a sense of space and of time) keep it tight, dark and scary.

[@Games_and_Music]

That is kinda what Cameron did to the Alien franchise. While Aliens is a great movie, it didn't have any of the Alien atmosphere, and both franchises now seem to struggle to simulate it without him, although Ridley Scott is kinda doing whatever.

[@SleepsDude]

"We'll have to edit this out" didn't edit it out.

[@zydian_]

Sleepy Dude because its funny

[@zydian_]

Ben Killey trailer alrdy spoiled the movie

[@KilleyBen]

***** Avoided all the trailers haha

[@d00kiebird]

Sleepy Dude Who gives a fuck. Not ever gonna watch it anyway.

[@ActiniumDragon]

Mike cuts James off at every chance he gets during this video. I really want to hear what James is about to say and then Mike just interrupts him -_-

[@linkenski]

I felt like one of the cuts was probably James going "hey can we just roll back, because I didn't get to my point"

[@WM-eq6md]

Yeah, that has always bothered me about Mike. It's not often James gets to finish even one sentence.

[@CarloisBuriedAlive]

James can't even finish a thought in his fucking head sitting next to Mike lol

[@linkenski]

I think with James being a family man now that he's just not as much into video games but Mike is very keen on the new things in video games and talks enthusiastically about it, so it makes sense to have him in a lot of Cinemassacre content. I just think with James having a young kid he doesn't have a lot of time on his hands lately.

[@samolux]

TypicLA With a schlong like that, it's hard to be modest.

[@famyemil]

John Connor appeared as the terminator was in the trailer...so, you didn't spoil it, Mike. Also, no reboot for Back to the Future, for now...hell, yeah!!!

[@corvus_8521]

mooparr They won't be rebooting it, The director Robert zemeckis basically said "Over his Dead Body" a reboot will happen

[@SuperDuperJamer]

Famy Emil I don't want a reboot - but I wouldn't mind a remake. They could fix some time travel stuff up, add better things overrall. I know this idea makes it more of a reboot than a remake, but maybe evn make it so that 2015 is now our 2015? :P

[@dpreetam]

Famy Emil They really show too much in trailers these days.

[@Gondarth]

Famy Emil Back to the Future needs no remake, reboot, or sequels

[@famyemil]

that's what I meant, guys...I don't want a reboot of Back to the Future...pls leave those films alone...

[@TXiCN]

Mike, you make some great points about creativity and originality in media in this video! Glad to hear it spoken about so openly. It's so true, although I'd hazard a geuss that given time, big youtube networks and channels will start looking a bit... pulpy(?). James looks and sounds totally exhausted. Did the movie suck the life right out of him or was it just really late when this was recorded?

[@JamesNintendoNerd]

***** Thanks, glad you enjoyed my opinions on all that. Yes, we did this pretty late at night after a long day. And threw together the video very quickly. - Mike

[@Teabone3]

Cinemassacre Always appreciate these videos. Being a huge fan of both Jurassic Park and Terminator it was important that I heard you guys reviews before hand. I trust you guys enough :D

[@Dawwwg]

T-Bone Quoting MF Mike: "It's a big F'ing problem; in movies AND videogames". True that ! 300M gets you stars and decent technical FX, but that does't matter when the STORY (or GAMEPLAY) sucks ...

[@MustachedTom]

Cinemassacre I agree, I wish more new ideas would get a push more often. I wanted one of my stories Syndicate X to be one of those new ideas. But I rushed the book and even though it's out no one really knows about it.

[@TXiCN]

andres borghi I see what you are saying but I don't think large film production companies care if the people buying the tickets Fanboys or not. The only thing the companies want is the ticket the purchased by as many people as possible. I DO however think Fanboys help immensely with *THE HYPE TRAIN* :P

[@joaovaranda4759]

It's kinda funny commenting this vid in 2019: since this review, there's been a new rocky movie, rambo, terminator, predator, alien, and at least 15 superhero movies.

[@LoneWolf_Cub_Ogami_Itto]

And near all of them weren't simply bad, they're awful. Terminator Derp Rate was awful, it opens super awful.

[@Riz2336]

Dude The Terminator story should have seriously ended after T2 Judgement Day.

[@footyfam8990]

Terminator 3 could happen but it would be set in the war like salvation.

[@DavidAllgaier_]

Footy Fam well the new Terminator movie coming out this fall will ignore Terminator 3-5 and continue from T2. In addition, James Cameron is producing it.

[@DeadlyDre]

The trailer WARNED you of the whole movie. No? It certainly did for me.

[@Cryten1974]

56clockwork First trailer was fine, it's the 2nd trailer with the John Conner reveal that pissed me off, even the Director of the movie wasn't happy about that. It was supposed to be a big WTF moment in the movie and the Marketing department F-d it up with that trailer

[@Mr_Boss_Smile]

Khaosgamez That's why you don't fucking see trailers.

[@TheWikkdOne]

***** lol I'll close my eyes next time I'm at the theater. What a dipshit.

[@yoshivu8236]

@cinemassacre the Terminator 1 scenes didn't use clips from the original Terminator. They were all recreated, I just wanted to have proper credit given to the vfx artists involved for recreating it so faithfully.

Have you seen Edge of Tomorrow? They handled time travel really well in that.

[@FlameBlueNova]

I don't think it felt stale. Was like ground hogs day but in a war. I thought it was alright other then the final act. But everybody has different opinions.

[@zydian_]

FlameBlueNova ok, not very well, just dragging the thing itself to the extreem. also the movie in itself was pretty mediocre

[@KazzKobb]

FlameBlueNova Butterfly Effect and Predestination are also good time travel movies

[@t3hGawd]

FlameBlueNova I really liked the movie. Except for the ugly power suits, I thought it was much better than the manga it was based on.

[@FlameBlueNova]

Didn't know it was based on a manga. Makes alot of sense haha.

[@benway20]

19:00 The thing is, the idea of Skynet being everywhere (everywhere being the Internet, in every tablet, laptop, phone, whatnot) was already used in T3. So this movie doing it... it was nothing new.

[@chasethecolors]

James makes far better points. Mike interrupts him far too much, which is a shame.

[@Games_and_Music]

thats what happens when corporations have their say, hehe

[@xXAkirhaXx]

You guys asked what was the last action movie that blew you away? How could you forget Mad Max Fury Road. That movie was pure adrenaline. It was a movie that showed action movies how to enter this new era.

[@CarozQH]

goldenretrogames The games are very differrent in my opinion

[@goldenretrogames]

But he already did a two part episode for Terminator games. There's nothing special enough with the Genesis version that makes it worth returning to.

[@jixolros]

goldenretrogames Says you. LOL just poking :D Seriously, though, wouldn't the title of this Terminator movie be plenty of reason to review the Sega Genesis game?

[@KillyRR]

patu8010 uhm its called MEGA DRIVE nobody cares how the arrogant USA called it.

[@jixolros]

VirusRonsen82 No, the units in the USA have the word "Genesis" on them. There is nothing arrogant about calling the thing what it's called, by the name printed on it. I don't know about arrogant, but this comment seems pretty ignorant.

I actually love these two. Might have to check this out for curiosity's sake.

[@hunterkiller1440]

I much rather watch this than T3 or Salvation. This movie is practically T1, T2 and T2: Battle Across Time merged together with more new stuff. This movie brought back the heart T1 and T2 has. Not enough creativity done to it but I like how a Terminator can feel more than what I've initially thought from T2.

[@DOYLETWAT]

hunterkiller1440 this movie is a fucking mess

[@paavolampinen23]

Also for Sarah, in my opinion.

[@8LiterallyJustTheNumber8]

Paavo Lampinen she's a fine actress, but should have taken the role more seriously, and committed to bulking up for the role

9:32 Mad Max: Fury Road. But other than that I would agree.

[@BrytaPlanka]

You should watch Edge of Tomorrow with Tom Cruise. It's an awesome movie with time as a theme.

[@thecinematicmind]

That's one film that was marketed so poor but it turned out to be one of the coolest action films in recent years. Since Warner Bros decided to change the title to Live, Die, Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow/Cruise/Blunt that annoyed the shit out of me!

[@jasonbrown4526]

The Cinematic Mind Edge Of Tomorrow was such an interesting movie, but the trailer was terrible. I didn't even see it until it came out on DVD. It's one of the better time travel movie that I've seen.

The Cinematic Mind I didn't like the aliens. They moved too fast. They didn't seem realistic. Emily Blunt is great.

[@maximuscesar]

Man, I felt like a 10 year old again with this movie. My eyes literally came in tears in two scenes. I liked it a lot.Much better than Salvation and Terminator 3. Other recurring gag was the "mate" thing. Time travel stories always have it's inconsistencies. Think about it: any kind of interaction that you make that somehow reach your father or your mother, anything at all, can make a different spermatozoon reach your mother's ovum and BAM: you won't be born. A "recent" time travel movie that I liked a lot was Looper. It had it's inconsistencies but that time travel aspect per se was very well done. At last, there were a very interesting cameo in this movie that I think that very few people got it: Robert Patrick is in it!

[@xblChrRome]

There are some fairly original big budget films that have come out recently including Inside Out, Tomorrowland, Jupiter Ascending, Transcendence, Edge of Tomorrow, Chappie, and Interstellar. Also Mike, the TV series was about Sarah and John Connor being helped by a Terminator as well

[@hansdampf301]

Dan Grant original? nope....

[@hansdampf301]

***** ok^^

[@Leecam27]

Edge of tomorrow was several years old by the time it came out because it was a Japanese manga originally

[@Abon666]

Lee Cameron It was a Japanese novel. There is a manga adaptation of said novel but it wasn't originally a manga.

[@Leecam27]

Tony Ah you see id only read the manga and thought the novel was done after. My bad

[@lukea.3729]

3:28 I thought Salvation was decent but I get why James just finds it average, still pretty good imo as well as 3.

[@KiraMustDie26]

I'm not clamoring for original films, just good ones. Seriously, I'm getting rather sick of the whole "Hollywood ran out of ideas" argument. I don't really care if it's a sequel, reboot, remake, or adaptation, just give me something entertaining. Just because something is original doesn't guarantee it's gonna be good. If it's an enjoyable movie, I think it counts as being a "good" idea. Mad Max: Fury Road is a sequel, and it didn't stop it from being awesome. Hell, you guys mentioned Terminator 2, which is a sequel. Also, what constitutes as an "original" film to people is iffy at best. One person would say Inception is an original movie, another person will say it just rips-off Paprika. Is it a movie that does something that is rarely seen in other films? Or is it simply something that isn't part of a franchise nor is an adaptation?

[@rorrt]

I can't think of any more to add to your list.. Also i'd call Mad Max FR a kind of soft reboot. Like what they're doing with Alien 5, but! I will say, that Alien 5 will be about as good, or as bad as Prometheus, depending on your opinion of Prometheus. It won't live up to even Alien 3 in my opinion... But i'm willing to be proven wrong.

[@FBSidious]

***** Toy-Story 2, Spider-Man 2, The Dark Knight, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Those were pretty good post-80's sequels I think, two of which were sequels to reboots.

[@quizshow1977]

James' mentioning of John Connor's conception and humor brought THIS to my mind. It would be funny if, somewhere around time traveling from 1984 to 2017, Sarah and Kyle mated and conceived a son. Possibly, in the new timeline, THEIR son sent the "Old Arnold" Terminator back to Sarah's childhood and erased his name from its memory.

[@RIANDOA]

Thank you James for somewhat defending T3! It's no T1 or T2 obviously, but in its own right, it's a good time, dammit! :)

I don't know if you guys like comics or not, but if you want good Terminator comics, bypass the Dark Horse ones (which aren't bad) and go straight to Now Comics. They were made before Dark Horse got the license. Specifically the Burning Earth mini-series. But the regular series (15 issues?) was really good too.

Another probem with modern movies is the age rating. PG-13 (not sure what the American equivalent is) is ruining movies. They are dumbing them down in both action, violence, narrative etc so they can sell it to the most consumers..

[@mussorecords]

re's also the D-Box seats. The ones that move around in sync with the movie. Like an amusement park attraction. You can also buy them for your home and there's a bunch of Blu-Rays that are compatible. It's kind of dumb but I've always wanted to try them out. Maybe Mad Max or something would've been good for that... Kinda doubt it though.

[@killpunchofdoom6451]

Ikr. That easily let down an otherwise great movie. Anne Hathaway was out of place too.

[@linkenski]

killpunchofdoom It's a testament to how far Hollywood has fallen in the sense that people say it's one of the best and most original movies in a long time, and it IS, but it's also extremely flawed and has some jarring inconsistencies and a third act that pretty much renders the entire concept implausible. It's a really good movie compared to the other new movies that come out every year, but that's not saying much. We should have several movies like Interstellar every year and some that truly excel in storytelling as well as spectacle and creativity as opposed to a sea of crap movies and then one really worthy movie that's full of mistakes.

[@killpunchofdoom6451]

Linkenski Well said.

[@jasonbrown4526]

Linkenski The third act is disappointing.

[@JpOctavarium]

There seems to be some confusion about the time travel in the movie in this video. What most people aren't understanding about the movie is that the timeline in which it takes place is an alternate one. This timeline was altered due to the assassination attempt on Sarah Connor when she was 9, from this moment on the events of T1 and T2 never took place. However since the T1000 failed to kill Sarah when she was a child, killing only her parents, he loses his target and moves on to his next best target, Kyle Reese when he travels back to 1984. That is why he gets attacked by a T1000 in the beginning of the movie. Since T1 and T2 never took place there was no chip left in the factory to reverse engineer so skynet had to change its strategy by taking over the network through an a OS that connected all devices to each other, civilian and military. By traveling directly to the day of judgment day according to Kyle's predictions from his timeline, they skipped 33 years into the future. However during this time, John Connor traveled to this timeline to ensure the survival of skynet through Genysys and continue R&D. Genysis becomes self aware and starts understanding that humans are a threat to its existence. His awareness and power grow stronger and as soon as the system goes online he will control the entire planet. Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor blow up Genysys in the nick of time and save the world, for now. There is only one loose end... Who sent pops to protect Sarah Connor when she was a child? As well as the T1000? And more importantly what timeline did they come from? Understanding that the timeline goes as far back as the 70's is vital. All the other movies are just possible timelines and possible futures. But so far this is the only timeline where skynet is defeated and a terminator is left alive at the end of the movie.

[@QuickZ_]

Alot of things you two said in this clip is spot on. Things I've been saying the last 5 years. About how theaters die and the need of originality and the only places where they exist now.

[@th3lonef0x4]

both me and my dad thought it was quite good. (my dad dosent like any film after T1. yes, that means he hates T2.)

[@MegaPewPew]

I love these. Hopefully you guys keep doing more of these. Love seeing you off script, James.

[@MegaPewPew]

Mega PewPew Also, always great listening to Mike go off the cuff.

[@FieldmasterFox]

They should make "Terminator 2 The Musical"

[@Games_and_Music]

I'll be back, i have to Step Up, but can't right now, because i've got a Footloose.

[@AmedeusMkII]

I can't even remember any of Salvation. I could barely keep myself awake through it. I mean, 3 wasn't amazing, but I never thought I'd see a Terminator that made me feel completely bored. Then I think about A Good Day to Die Hard and Jaws 3 and realize I probably should have seen it coming.

[@DrawingYouToob]

Also, last time action blew me away? Mad Max Fury Road, no question

[@TheKostaja]

Doctor Who has some awesome time travel themed episodes such as Girl in the Fireplace or Blink. Pure gold. Steins;Gate is also awesome anime dealing with time travel and such.

[@starvader7036]

I was so disappointed by this movie. The critics trashed the hell out of this movie but I had some hope and man this was terrible just a mess.

[@tragavenao]

for me this was the best comedy of the year, looks like A. Sandler puts his hands on it jajaj

[@starvader7036]

tragavenao For real I thought Kevin James was gonna pop up at the end jajaja

[@tragavenao]

jajajaja word

[@mr.c2569]

I my self more or less consider this film on par of T3 (it's in the same camp for me). This film makes the same mistakes as its predecessors.

[@mjg1312]

23:23 Stallone has recently started filming "Rambo V" lolololololol

You guys should really see Mad Max: Fury Road.

[@Klubbexx13]

Terminator: Dark Fate has just dropped 20 hours ago.

[@Scrotom]

Have they not seen Mad Max: Fury Road yet? James asked "when's the last time a movie has really blown you away" and got no real answer. I think Fury Road is the best movie I have ever seen. Everything was done perfectly anyway you analyse it. I hope they get to see it in theaters.

[@ugle118]

Some spoilers if you havent seen the trailers.

[@analogageshow4160]

Just had to throw this out there, I always thought of Arnold beating up the improved terminators was because they were all prototype models that weren't field tested, while the Model 101s are combat proven and all the kinks have been worked out.

[@angels2online]

Yeah, I think we all thought he was getting a Sega Genesis.

[@jasonbrown4526]

Cleaveage Tenshi It's 2017. They could have at least gotten him a Dreamcast.

[@nexusshark]

I remember all 4 movies, so I'm gonna remember this one too.

[@elliottmelling7658]

Terminator: Genitals

[@kiefermcginty6189]

Genityls

[@tri0xin]

May seem like the theaters aren't as busy as they used to be but it's just the multiplexes being huge.. Terminator is playing on 4 screens of 17 at a theater in my city, back in '91 I watched T2 at the same theater(kinda) but was only on one screen with maybe 4 showings that day.. and it was packed.

[@DuranmanX]

nanomachines, son.

[@gravity_child]

I'm glad you pointed out how the film industry's rehashing all these old series. Yeah, a rising problem I've heard is that big studios and their investors are becoming more afraid of presenting new IPs and are just sticking to things they know. It's affecting the screenwriting industry too because no one can get their original ideas out and are stuck working on the umpteenth Marvel movie, Transformers whichever, etc. Some screenwriters are afraid that in the next decade, all these series will (like you said) tank and the industry will collapse onto itself.

[@DangerasTM]

You want a good time travel movie? Watch Predestination.

[@DangerasTM]

Big Daddy They have already seen that film and in fact reference it several times in the video

[@Games_and_Music]

Predestination was pretty cool and screwed up, but once you find out who's who, you'll just be waiting for them to show you how it got done, which takes away the surprise, but still a cool concept.

[@Powerhouse1]

Good to see you guys giving your opinions on these movies. I can better plan my movie summer season lol. Btw, while I understand this is more of a vlog than a straight up review, but did you ever think about taking some quick notes during the movie? It might detract from the experience of watching it, but is it something you have thought about? Thanks.

[@Citrus3000]

When you asked "When was the last time you was blown away by an action blockbuster?" all I thought was MAD FUCKING MAX

[@georghagglund9338]

I saw this at the cinema too. I remember not liking the new "Sarah Connor" and "Kyle Reese". They both "look good" but the acting was overall way to kind friendly and none "dooms day" to work in the concept. Other than that I thought the movie was pretty good. Sure it is "messy" I agree with that but was overall pleased with it. For being a sequel 30 years later it was definitely decent. I plan on see it again someday and while it will never be a top 50 movie in my collection it would surely beat some stuff. People tend to be way too harsh on movies from a famous seeries. I mean, Star Wars The Phantom Menace are hardly the best movie ever but it's not THAT bad.

[@shitmandood]

Don't forget the Sarah Connor Chronicles. :-)

[@angusng816]

I wouldn't consider this bad but it looked more like a T-800 spin-off movie than a Terminator film.

[@Ahmadu100]

I thought "Terminator Salvation" was a Masterpiece especially when you take into consideration that it was also The Late,Great Stan Winston's final project (The same person that made Terminator's 1 & 2 so phenomenal),Not to mention Christian Bale...I mean C'mon!!!

[@thebigbadone1234]

Christian Bale was miscast in that film, he didn't fit the role of John Connor

[@Ahmadu100]

thebigbadone1234 Although he may have been too good for that role I'm glad he took it.

[@thebigbadone1234]

Ahmadu Wachuku He's a great actor don't get me wrong but he never seemed like John Connor

[@Ahmadu100]

thebigbadone1234 Jason Clarke doesn't seem like a good John Conner either but they still cast him none-the-less,Christian Bale probably wanted too much.

[@thebigbadone1234]

Ahmadu Wachuku Jason Clarke was miscast also, both are great actors but were miscast as the same character.

[@JeremyGoodXP]

Quantum Leap, I personally think, did an amazing job on integrating time travel within one mans life period, while throwing in lots of clever ideas as far as science and comedy. I don't know if it's remembered much or many people watched it.

[@RUFFMIN]

cmon guys! really this just pisses me off, you edit videos as part of your job! how could you put the people layer behind the logo!!! why?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??! lol i'm just nitpicking someone just forgot to proof watch the video :P

[@FourthPiece]

RUFFMIN I noticed that too but I think that they were actually filming on a black backdrop. Notice that Mike has green on his shirt so can't do greenscreen. So I think that the "people layer" is the same as the background layer.

[@robertfeatherstone8030]

Boo frighen who

[@adrienfourniercom]

I noticed a huge amount of time travel paradox that doesn't fit in the two first episodes. However, I love those movies. That's how you know you see a great movie: it is not coherent, but you still enjoy it.

[@magus104]

no spoilers...... by the way john connor is a terminator..... gg :P

[@videogameobsession]

The real testimate to the amazing CGI effects in this movie is that 99% of people who watched it think they reused footage of young Arnold from the original 80's Terminator movie when in fact they USED NOTHING from that. It's all CGI and it's friggin amazing! They created a full CGI actor of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

[@daneofurexistence]

It feels lame to me that there's a new Terminator movie, and I really don't care about going to see it. 1 and 2 are classics, and I know its a controversial opinion but I loved 3 too. But I just can't muster any excitement or desire to watch Genisys. Its cool that Arnold is back, but the trailers even made this movie look like a mess(not to mention they could have had something cool with a certain character, but they spoiled it in the trailer).

[@jasonbrown4526]

Dane Tucker The movie is okay, but the trailer was complete trash. It's a much better movie than Terminator 3

[@MrVidification]

Dane Tucker T3 is not controversial, it received far more positive reviews as an enjoyable no brainer action movie. T3 on Metacritic on average score holds 66%, and on RT its 70%, judged by both users and pro critics, and T4 is panned at 49% Meta, and RT 33%. T4 beats T3 as a videogame though.

[@tarikbegovic]

Dane Tucker I've only seen part of T3, but Genisys was very good.

[@jebes909090]

Dane Tucker Its kinda like a lame tv adaptation of the terminator franchise. Infact just watch the sarah connor chronicles . Its about 100X better then genysis....though its funny that john connor from the show was in a scene. Looks like cersi is still queen!
