I had great expectations about this film being a Terminator 1 and 2 movies fan , thinking it would be much better than the mediocre "Terminator 3" but I was wrong because T4 is not just bad but it is also very boring.

I didn't like the plot that is more focused in the Marcus character than the one that we all care about which is John Connor, who in this opportunity is played by the wooden Christian Bale (I don't even like him in the Batman movies). I found the action scenes just OK, there was nothing new. The only thing I liked about T4 was the character of Blair Williams (I love her), which reminded me Sarah Connor, even though she has a limited screen time.

It is 2018 and the humanity live in a post apocalyptic world. John Connor is one of the leaders of the Resistance who fights against the machines from the Skynet system, but in this opportunity he will be able to meet his still teenager father Kyle Reese and Marcus a mysterious man who may help him to destroy the Skynet system or maybe not .......

4 starts = Boring

I liked a lot the first 3/4 parts of this movie but the final part is boring despite that it has 2 unexpected moments.

The performances are very good specially the ones of Naomi Watts and Michael Pitt. "Funny Games" worth a watch because excepting its final part it is very interesting and entertaining, like the uncomfortable situations that the 2 evil young characters make going through the Naomi's character at the beginning which are rare and funny. If I could rate the first 3/4 parts of the film I would rate it with 8 stars (very good).

I didn't like so much the final part because I found that it was unnecessarily too long, there were scenes that should have lasted fewer time and there is a scene that I found it like cheating the audience for part of the director.

Father, mother and son at their lake house are visited by 2 teen boys who seems very polite at first sight but they really are evils ..........

6.5 stars = Regular +

The only thing I liked about the movie was the shooting part in which is involved the leading (Clive Owen), this scene is great but the rest of the movie is boring.

I know this film shows us how the world really works but it could have been made more entertaining, or at least in a shorter time (118 minutes is too much), I think 100 minutes would have been much better. On the other hand I have to say that the performances were good.

Louis Salinger (Clive Owen) is an Interpol agent who wants to bring to justice one of the world's most powerful banks for money laundering and arms trading but he will find this goal very difficult and dangerous ......

6 stars = regular

(note: Without the shooting scene I would have given it 5 stars = bad or boring)
