I literally just came back from watching Terminator 4 with Goku and another friend. It was awesome but I would have to say Star Trek tops it off because in terms of storyline it was great! Terminator jumps right into the action and seems to continuously have action sequences again and again but after watching it I want to rp like crazy now :D

My vote goes to Star Trek because it literally topped off all those summer movies

Why do people say Bale bombed dark knight? I am a huuuuuge Frank Miller fan, and his work with Dark Knight tied in well with the Batman Bale portrayed. I thought he aced the part, much like Ledger hit the nail on the head with Miller's joker.

And who the hell can complain about Bale being the same guy over and over again after complimenting Harrison Ford and Bruce Willis? Good movies don't make good actors.

That's like saying Samuel L Jackson is a versatile actor....lol

Who's complaining about Bale? I was just commenting. Yes good movies don't make good actors but good acting makes good movies. And both Ford and Willis are great actors. If everyone is so upset I compared bale to Cage, fine. Everyone like Samuel, there. lol. Yes neither are very versatile. Who cares though cause both rock.

Not you personally Tas, this isn't an attack or anything. I am just saying that Bale didn't do bad in Dark Knight. I am not debating his skill in other films, as I've only seen him in about 4 movies. It's just that he fit Frank Miller's Batman to the T.

As far as Willis and Ford are concerned, I can't see repeats as good actors. Even in movies where they try to broaden their range they seem to play the same characters. I just think they are over rated and less versatile than most actors. Granted, I never once said Bale is versatile. I simply said that saying he isn't but Ford is would be foolish.

Also, Ford makes a worse Russian than Liam Neeson makes a cowboy.... bleh

And Bruce Willis!? Really? I love a lot of the movies the man is in, but Tim Roth can out perform him and that isn't saying a lot.....

FG said Bale isn't that good of an actor.

I don't know if I can be your friend anymore FG if you are going to blatantly lie to all of us. :[

It takes a lot to be a great actor. Few can take that. I would say Heath Ledger is one as he's played a nice set of roles. There are others.

But there are many that don't like bale or think he's good. I think he draws certain kind of people.

not taht godly, it had linked the stories of 1-3 together but not that great other wise.  Basically a rip off of Gundam vs GI Joe.  lol

Storylines always have plot holes.  Take Dark knight, Transformers, old school scary movies.  Many different movies had those.  So thats not much of an argument. 

As for ledger, yes but he acted a role so in tune with his character that he was like he was the Joker,  you cant say the same for Bale.  He is not that great of an actor, there really are any great actors after Ford, Willis, and other old school actors.

Speaking of gi joe, it is a rip off of halo. Has anyone seen that trailer? It is nothing like gi joe. It is like it ripped from star ship troopers and halo mixed together. But sorry gohan have to greatly disagree there. Bale did fit his role perfectly in his other movies. Take prestige or american psycho. Dark Knight wasn't his best work by far.

from some of the pre-screeners they say that GI Joe is so much like Transformers. T4 was supposed to be the big hit this year (in terms of Fox executives). But I doubt they expected Star Trek to do so well lol. But I also agree with Gohan. Any kind of story will have some kind of plot holes. And any kind of Sci-fi story will have some very unbelievable elements to it. The blackhole stunt was just cool in star trek, doesn't have to be possible. It's sci-fi.

How is space marines like transformers? It was all about the suits in the gi joe trailer. Any movie Micheal bay makes just consist of special effects. Transformers is a prime example of it. Also Vegeta I think Gohan has some type of personal agenda against the man. Maybe its because of his premadona moment where he got his lights trashed on the studio. I found that to be hilarious though.

Hey Vegeta no personal attacks man. I know my name isnt specifically on there but come on. So i do not like Bale. Many agree with me. Many also agree that Willis and Ford and others arent that great either. So there are differing opinions. Man, these slain comments arent cool at all............

PS Will keep it open but man stop with the attacks, and attack the movies not the people commenting......... <_<

Haha I actually didn't mean to attack you personally, I was just saying people in general.

I don't understand how people can not think the Indiana Jones trilogy is not the MOST BOSS SERIES ever.

I don't really think Bruce Willis is a good actor but I like his movies.

ok that i understand but man your last statement of Bruce Willis reminds me of the bogus Code Pink, Moveon.org, and other left wing groups claiming 'We support the troops, but not the war/bush'

That is a oxymoron and just doesn't make sense. How can you like his movies (IE Die Hard movies, 5th Element, etc.) but not like the actor that's like watching his movie without the lead actor, which makes no sense and basically isn't possible.

I was a little dissapointed with terminater 4. It was a total bad ass action packed movie, but I found it very convenient that one man or two just walk freely in the robots hq(City), dismantle their system and then find some nucleus lying around on a table.

And then their ambush is the naked arnold swartzenager. Couldn't they just put bombs over the place if they wanted to kill Conner. And why not just shoot Kyle in the first place? I was also hoping to see an awesome war where the resistance charges against the robots(The lord of the rings music playing) as they storm the city and free the prisoners...nope just one bad ass vs everything.

I enjoy plenty of movies that could have better acting.

That's like saying how do you enjoy a video game that does not have a good main character?

Perhaps the other 99% of the movie is good. Maybe there's this thing called gripping drama or intense fight sequences, or maybe even a good story from time to time.

The same can be said in the exact opposite sense. I love Mila Jovovich, but there isn't a chance in hell I would watch another Resident Evil movie. The first one blew and I thought there was no way possible they could get worse, but lo an behold.

Good actors don't always have good movies. Good movies don't always have good actors.

Also, in response to Appule's comment on T4 : Bumrushing Skynet's troops = dead. Game over. Dead. Recon wouldn't work either, in a realistic situation, but it's a movie so that's as close to realistic as you will get.

If these things could replicate flesh, blood and scan through solid objects to detect our presence with pinpoint accuracy, had the ability to adapt to any weapon they touch and use it accurately and were stronger than the average human as well as damn near deathproof then we'd be fucked all around the board.

I fall back on FG's sci-fi can't always be realistic. Hence, science fiction. XD

Yeap, ofcourse true, but the whole movie...I was hoping to see a very dramatic climax where the resistance comes crashing through the hills, the sound managing to disrupt the major parts of the robots and an epic sequence where Kyle or someone releases the prisoners and they storm through the city with inspiring music in the background. Instead, we get this one guy that infiltrates a whole city and finds some nuclear lying around. Don't get me wrong, enjoyed the movie, I was just expecting an actual war, not so much "Mission Impossible".

The movie was epic guys.  Star trek was an aging series, it needed a lift, and it got one by completely _____________________________.  JJ Abrams in this regard, is GOD.  That was a major twist and I think it totally helped the new franchaise. 

In regards to Bale, he is not that great of an actor,  If he was so great why was he not nominated for any awards and Ledger was.  Ledger is the one who saved that movie 'Dark Knight' IMHO.  And Kirk, Spock, Original Spock, and McCoy (thank you Carl Urban for playing Bones just like Deforest Kelly) helped put this movie through the roof.

The problem with that is how do you think spys work? They do that stuff all the time so it wasn't that hard to believe. Also it wasn't like they took out all of it was just a small portion Anyways I just got back and I have to save movie was on par with star trek. But lets not get into details for the people who haven't seen the movie yet.

Just saw Star Trek a second time. You're welcome JJ Abrams for the money from three more tickets. I saw things I didn't see the first time. I love when that happens while watching a movie again, you see things you didn't notice the first time :D

Actually it makes perfect sense. The actor didn't write the movie it was done by other people. Just because you hate one of the actors doesn't mean you hate the movie. I liked fight club but I don't give two craps about Brad Pitt. Also the same goes for supporting troops. You can support a person fighting for freedom, and not the political ideology that goes behind it. They are just doing their jobs. Most people feel they have a moral obligation to support them and put their feelings about the war to the side in order to do so. None of the troops decided of their own volition to start the war. They were simply doing a job.
