  1. The Terminator (5 stars)
  2. Terminator 2 (5 stars)
  3. Terminator 3 (2 stars)
  4. Terminator Genisys (2 stars)
  5. Terminator Salvation (1 star)

I love the first one more because it’s simpler and less weighed down with exposition and heavy-handed messages. And my hate for Salvation is because, 1) It’s boring as hell, 2) Anton Yelchin is terrible as Reese, 3) Poor writing (why the hell did Skynet capture Reese and the others? They should have killed them, that’s what Skynet does, they’re not in the taking prisoners business), 4) It was the first PG-13 movie in the franchise, following a shitty Hollywood trend of downgrading R-rated franchises in the hopes of reaching a wider audience when they should have been spending more time and effort on telling a great story.
