No TERMINATOR 4 Anytime Soon

I'd rather see no terminator 4 than see it screwed up any further.

I want to be submersed in the visions of the future war found in T1 and T2 and I don't think I'll ever see that without James Cameron. I enjoyed his script notes on the Laserdisc I rented way back in the 90s and longed for that scene of John Connor and Kyle Reese saying goodbye as they were on their final strike on Cyberdyne.

I don't want to put up with any more prototypes, etc either.

Ah well. Years from now... many many years from now... maybe James Cameron can get his paws back on the franchise, tie up and gag the men in suits, and build a movie of just raw future war.

I'd rather bask in that vision of a movie that will never exist in this lifetime than have my hopes and dreams dashed by some director that calls himself a fan and gives us a PG-13 corny high budget fan film that leaves us wanting to gouge our eyes out and demand our childhoods back.

I'd love to see Jonathan Mostow return to give us one last Terminator film that brings the saga full circle. One that shows the war in the future, and ends with Reese going back in time to save Sarah from the first Terminator.

I liked Terminator 3. I thought it was a good action movie and absolutely loved the ending.

However, with every Terminator movie I always have the same question: Why do they keep sending more advanced Terminators to different time periods. Times when John is older and older? Why not send them all back to the same point? Then it's 3 Terminators against 2 humans. I wish they'd come up with a reason for this.

I have a reason. Don't put all you eggs in one basket.

I liked the ending to T3, too. I don't really need another one, but if there was a final T movie, I'd like it to show the end of the war.

nax, how long would terminator 2 have been if they sent T1000 back to the first movies time... With 2 terminators at the same time chasing her... 15 minutes tops.

I understand why from a movie making point that they send them to seperate times, but in the world of the Terminator movies, I wish they would have John ask his Terminator protector "Hey, why don't they keep trying to kill me while I'm a baby and thus an easier target." Then they could give some sort of reason.

I'm a HUGE fan of this franchise and Cameron's films as well. It's sad to see all this bickering over something like this. It's like when my boys fight over a toy that they both want.
I agree with you browbeat, I'd rather see this as the end than some half-assed-settling-out-of-court Terminator.
I'm hoping that the Sarah Conner Chronicles can deliver what we want to see and then maybe a bigger studio will see the potential and the fan base and can get involved and squash all this squabbling.

I liked all the T movies even T3. That one ended just fine for me. It would be cool to see a scene of adult Conner sending back Reese but I'd rather not see it then see it screwed up.
I always figured that the resaon they didn't send more and better Terminators back to the original movie time is that the time displacement field couldn't appear around the same time that often without some kind of disruption. Sort of like trying to hit a bullseye on every shot in the fog. Plus they couldn't appear any earlier since they didn't know her whereabouts before that. But that was just me thinking in my own head trying to answer the question. The real reason is what everyone has said: two or more appear at club Tech Noir and it's game over.

That would actually be a perfect reason. All I want is to have it answered in the movies instead of by us. Every movie has these kind of things if you examine them too much, but to me this has always been a fairly glaring plot hole that I wish they'd address.
