Terminator: Dark Fate Review:
• Why I Didn't Like Term...
My god awful review of Terminator Salvation from 2009:
• Terminator:Salvation R...
1- Terminator 2: Judgement Day
2- The Terminator
3- Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
4- Terminator Salvation
5- Terminator Genisys
6- Terminator: Dark Fate
Unfortunately I never saw the Sarah Connor Chronicles, but sometime in the future I'll make time for it. Great listing Adam!
Here is my Ranking of Terminator Franchise:
1. Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)
2. The Terminator (1984)
3. Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles
I don't consider any of those Sequels that came after T2 as *Canon* but if I had to rank them, it would look like this:
4. Terminator: Salvation
5. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
6. Terminator: Dark Fate
7. Terminator: Genisys
T2 should have ended the franchise, but I will give Salvation credit for being a solid underrated film, IMO. The others are just trash, although T3 isn't my least favorite anymore. I did once say that it was, but that felt like a phase of forced anger looking back. I still hate it, but it has more going for it than Genisys, IMO. The first two need no explanation though. Terminator 1 is in my top 10 and Terminator 2 is my favorite movie of all time.
I'm glad more people are slowly realizing that the Sarah Connor Chronicles is just as good as the first two films. It genuinely went places that not only elevates Cameron's films, but expands them in genuinely meaningful ways.
My boy Adams has balls. He put The Terminator as number 1. I was the only one for the longest time who put The Terminator over Terminator Judgement Day because it was a literal action thriller done extremely right. It's almost like a horror movie. The music of the police station massacre was menacing.
I always felt like The Terminator has pretty hefty horror vibes. I love it so. One of my top movies.
Not really. Opinion has always been mixed as to whether 1 or 2 is better.
I don't care how much people complain about Dark Fate. Genisys was the worst.
After the first episode, I was hooked on watching Sarah Connor Chronicles
It advanced the story, Thomas Dekker feels like a teenage John Connor, Lena Heady gives a great performance as Sarah and delivers the emotional scenes better than recent movies.
Even though I haven’t seen much of her, Summer Glau is really good in what I have seen and her performance as Cameron is definitely one of her best
I love how the show explores the consequences after T2 and how that impacts everyone in ways I don’t think the sequels ever did
Even despite cgi and effects problems, it still works well especially considering that it’s on a TV budget
I'm so glad you liked Salvation. I've been arguing in favor of this film since its release. It was amazing and definitely my favorite sequel after T2
My Ranking:
1. Terminator 2: Judgement Day
2. Terminator 1
3. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
4. Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles
5. Terminator 4: Salvation
6. Terminator Gensys & Dark Fate
My favorite film of the series is also the original Terminator! It’s a masterpiece! Great ranking!
yea i go t1 t2 t3 and dark fate in the middle dark fate and geneshits dead last
Y’know, I feel that the core reason I liked Terminator Salvation better than 3, Genisys, or Dark Fate is that Salvation was the only one out of those films that was different. All of the others kept rehashing Terminator 1 & 2 with bad results. Terminator 3 felt like a self parody/remake of Terminator 2, Genisys felt like over budgeted fan fiction, and Dark Fate made it abundantly clear that the franchise was running out of ideas.
Terminator 1 works as a horror action movie. Terminator 2 works as a fun family action thriller movie. Terminator 3 is watchable
I'd go 1, 2 ,3. Never understood the hate 3 got. I thought it wrapped everything up good. Remember 1 was a stand alone.. The others were done on the fly and create a good canon.
Me neither I don't get the hate for T3
My ranking :
1. Terminator 2: Judgement Day
2. The Terminator
3.
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

Terminator Salvation
5. Terminator Genisys

Love your defence of Salvation
I’ve never seen it because I heard it was horrible
You’ve sold me on it
I’ll check it out
Thanks!
And I agree with you about the original over T2 - both are great - but just in terms of originality the first film comes out on top for me
I remember seeing it in theatre in 1984 not knowing anything and being completely blown away - the time travel concepts were just mind blowing to my 13 year old mind
Literally
It started me reading real science fiction books

6.terminator genisys
Dang you have Dark Fate over Salvation? I feel Salvation is underatted.
@@SuperMurray2009 yep i know its underrated but i just found dark fate more enjoyable despite the awful writing
Reece falling in love with Sarah from her photo is actually one of the best arcs in The Terminator. He mentioned that he wondered what she was thinking about in that photo. Turns out she was thinking about him. Those who say it's creepy is just another reason why so many people don't understand great story telling in film

Also, you got it right, Adam, about the casting of Jai Courtnay as Kyle Reese. Why not go with like Jake Johnson, or someone who actually looks like Michael Biehn?
4:31 Dignity was thrown out the window the second Arnold put on those stripper in glasses in Terminator 3
I still say that Skynet is limping into the barn with it's strategy every time it sends a terminator back to an historical era with a tech level that stands a chance against a terminator. John Connor is just as wiped out of the timeline if you go back to the 1600s and try to kill Jedediah Connor and somehow I doubt his blunderbuss is going to do much to a T-800.
Adam had the confidence to put the Original over the first Sequel👍🏽✊🏽💪🏽
Salvation is indeed the best film post T2. Your argument against it being a prequel has one problem, the events of T3 are NEVER MENTIONED, not a bit. You could skip Rise Of The Machines and not miss a thing, so clearly it does not work as a sequel.
Also, as to your points, in the original Kyle said they were more active at night, he did not say they did not operate in day at all. As for Kyle, he is still John's father biologically so he has to go back. Third, the Terminator here is a prototype and Skynet was clearly playing with its prey like an animal predator would because now it only sees him as an annoyance.
Mercenary Knight Just because they don’t mention T3 doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. They don’t mention anything to do with T2 in the movie at all either and the fact that John is married to Kate does suggest that T3 did happen.
@@l.pricetag.5207 Well look at this way, it was likely done as a way not to piss off fans of the third film and it can be viewed without having seen T3. Also, T2 does get nods and references made so I disagree there.
@@mercenaryknight5419 well... no? Not only is John married to Kate but the movie makes it clear that Judgement Day occurred in the early 2000s, it says so in the opening text and Marcus was executed in 2003, but it’s only T3 that tells us that Judgement Day was pushed back to 2004 instead of 1997. Imagine if Salvation really was the third movie and it just says “oh no, judgement day still happens despite T2’s events” that’d be pretty cheap and disappointing. And the T-1 from T3 also returns and the only way in which Skynet can know about Kyle being John’s father is because the T-X uploaded the information in T3. You could watch Salvation without watching T3 but it would just create so many questions for the viewers. The only reference to T2 I found in Salvation was the song John played to trick the Motor Terminator and that’s all I think there was so it does have more T3 and T1 references than it does T2.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has T1 #1 because T1 is the standard and the blueprint.
I agree I love terminator sera Conner chronicles it was really awesome and badass
1. T1 and T2: I can see how ppl think either would be best. I've heard sound arguments for both and it's too difficult to choose.
2. T3: Criminally overhated and hilarious at times. Dont say it ain't supposed to be funny too when T2 started this trend toward "blockbuster comedy" and even the first had some comedy (i.e. "Fuck you asshole" and "GAUUUUUDAYUUUUUUM"). The TX was dope and this film has the best action in the entire series. Nick Staul did a good job and so did Claire Daimes.
3. TS: The only one that went in the right way really after T2...almost. Good Pre-Sequel. The different Terminators looked great. CGI Arnold was a good Easter egg (dont understand all the whining ppl do about it). The original ending would've set this apart as a worthy sequel or divided everyone...we'll never know. Nailed Kyle Reese. It also makes sense to me that the war doesnt look like it does in T1, 2, and 3 yet b/c its early on in the war. Adam defended it well in the video.
4. TSCC: Ridiculous that it was canceled on that cliffhanger. Good expansion of the mythos and allowed for a "Star Trek" approach to Terminator. We honestly need another series for Terminator, bonus if it continues this one. Dont agree with it being a better story than 1 and 2, however.
5. TDF: Well made, but agenda driven. The opening alone makes no sense and is just a reason to recast women in lead roles. Dani was annoying. The protector was dope. Sarah was also great. T-800 made no sense really. Rev-9 was DOPE. That being said, movie didnt draw me in.
6. TG: Bad casting and direction perhaps. Failed to rewrite the mythos and was a cringe fest. No chemistry between Sarah and John. Jai Courtney is absolute trash. He's never been good in anything imo. Arnold was cool and I like the aging explanation. Lotta jargon and awkward delivery. Only thing redeeming that I wanted to see was where it was going after in the sequels. Arnold became a T-1000 of sorts. Skynet wasnt dead yet. Wanted more, honestly. Comic form would do it for me, probably.
If you made if this far, jeez. Have a ⚰

Good review overall, nothing beats The Terminator from 1984 for me, far superior to everything else that came after for many reasons, it's not even close, that movie is a masterpiece, perfect from beginning to end. Including T2 Judgement Day wich has clear flaws in my opinion.
I agree that Salvation was very underrated, they used excellent practical's effects, the best Kyle Reese after Michael Biehn, the T-600, and finally it gave us a glimpse of the future's war. Even if it didn't nail the dark tone with purple lasers of T1 or T2, it was still pretty good, and it didn't recycle the same overused and overrated T2's formula.
I obviously wouldn't put SCC over T1, but once again i agree that it was a very good serie. Certainly much better than most of the movie sequels.
T3 is underrated
I agree with what you said about the original Terminator being a horror movie. To be honest, I feel like you could have put the images of Sarah Connor next to images of Ellen Ripley to make a better point, seeing as how Aliens was an action movie directed by James Cameron after a horror movie.
My list:
6. T-3. Rise of mashines
5. T-6. Dark Fate
4. T-4. Salvation
3. T-5. Genisys
2. T-1.
1. T-2. Judgement day
Terminator 4 is great
Actually, you're wrong about Arnie not getting advertised as the protector. It was infamously shown in trailers that Arnie was the good guy and Patrick was the bad guy. And James Cameron was fucking pissed too.
I actually disagree with the whole "No Fate But What We Make for Ourselves" moral being dicked over in T3. Yes, on one hand, by its mere existence T3 takes away from the power of the pitch-perfect ambiguous note that T2 ended on. But on the other hand, despite the wording of the "Judgment Day is inevitable" line, the movie, as its events unfold, goes to show the fate that we made for ourselves - and it was the wrong one. Remember when Kyle said in the first movie that "we trusted the machines to run it all"? That's what happens in T3 when Kate's father chooses to activate Skynet and let it take care of the problem. So, no, despite the poor wording of the aforementioned line, I personally don't think that T3 contradicts the moral of the first two movies, but rather reaffirms it in its own way. In fact, if you look at the state of the world today and our ever-persistent pursuit of creating AI, T3 has actually gotten better with age. I do agree about some of the comedy, though. The whole scene of the T-850 obtaining clothes and a shotgun should have been left on the cutting room floor. If nothing else, it would have made the "Talk to the hand" moment in the gas station actually funny because, being that we already know the drill by now, we would have put 2 and 2 together as to how he learned it. Admittedly, it would've been even better if he had said "Fuck you, asshole" instead, referencing the first movie, but that's neither here nor there.
I agree Christian bale I great as John Conor.
What made me upset about genisys is that they had matt smith in the movie.....yes, you heard me right, the 11th doctor himself is in terminator genisys, what the hell?!?
Having yet to see the Sarah Chronicles series, yours is the only ranking I respect from those I've seen so far. Terminator Salvation is a great movie, and Terminator is WAY better than T2.
I appreciate the support. I have never understood the hate for Salvation and, while I admit it's a fantastic film, I don't get why T2 is always praised over the original. But hey, it's all opinion. And you should definitely watch SCC. It will be the best 20 bucks you'll ever spend at Wal Mart, I promise you. Again, thank you 😁
@@FilmMasterAdam I Love both Terminator 1&2. I don't think neither one is better. I just like both. Same with Godfather and Alien.
Hey Adam, what are your thoughts on the Deadpool movies?
I agree the original is even better than T2. It is dark, gritty, and has such an amazing 80s vibe that we will never see again. Also Michael Biehn was outstanding as Kyle Reese. And you were actually afraid they will die in that movie. I never once thought they were in real danger in T2 when Arnold was protecting them.

While I feel they should've stopped after Judgment Day, the beginning of Dark Fate makes sense to me in a way. John Conner and Skynet are linked, no Skynet no John Conner. Time travel paradoxes can be a pain.
Happy. New. Year. Adam j
Actually in Terminator 1984, Sarah is 19 years old
For me only the first 3 films matter but I’ll give my ranking list for all them anyway from top to bottom.
1. The Terminator 1984 objectively it’s by far the best film in the franchise.
2. Terminator 3 Rise Of The Machines My personal favorite in the franchise and the most faithful sequel to the original.
3. Terminator 2 Judgement Day Massively overrated colorful happy wave movie that contradicts and convoluted the story that was set in the original.
4. Terminator Salvation wasn’t a necessary sequel but it had the right idea it was just terribly executed.
5. Terminator Dark Fate this honestly isn’t a bad sequel to T2 it actually stays faithful to the ideas that were implemented in T2. As for a lot of dark fate’s issues they line up perfectly with the dumb ideas that were shown in T2.
6. Terminator Genysis such a chore to get through with the dumbest plot it’s not even entertaining by far the worst one.
Great choice for #1! Summer Glau is masterful as a T-900! BTW, who would win in a fight, Cameron, or River Tam? lol
My ranking of the terminator films BEST to WORST apart from dark fate which I haven't seen and can't afford to see.

What do you think of my ranking? Adam?
There is 2 kinds of fans when it comes to Terminator 1 and Terminator 2 ones that prefer it to be a action movie, and those who prefer a more horror slasher type terminator. This also follows the 2 Alien movies Alien and Aliens ones a horror slasher type and the other is more action focused.

Christian bale is the best John Conor
I think there's an argument to be made that the T-1000 is more imposing, in a sense, than its predecessor, precisely _because_ of its traditionally underwhelming external appearance (much in the same way, perhaps, that children are often seen as inherently 'creepy'). In other words, its threat level could easily be underestimated based on visual cues and intuition (compounded, moreover, by the fact that it poses as a police officer throughout the course of its mission). The overtly ominous and intimidating size and appearance of the T-800, on the other hand, serve as clear warning signals of danger to all who encounter it, if not indeed as dead giveaways, and its design and deployment could thus be viewed as poor tactical choices on the parts of Cyberdyne and Skynet.
It's brute force scary vs. subtle creepy scary. The TX had neither (she was "too sexy" to be intimidating). The Rev9 has a mix of both with his own brand of friendly, uncanny valley devlish-ness that makes him brutal and creepy.
Actually terminator wasn't james Cameron's debut it was piranha II the spawning I know that other filmmakers were involved too but james was also involved with that
Worst to best:
Dark Fate - 1/10 (What the fuck was this)
Genesys - 3/10 (Liked Arnold & Emilia)
Salvation - 7/10 (Great Ideas)
Rise of the Machines - 8/10 (Surprisingly fun)
Judgment Day - 10/10 (Do I need to say anything)
The Terminator - 10/10 (Do I need to say anything)
you forgot T2 3-D:Battle Across Time 1996 ‧ Action/Sci-fi
Did you ever see the Terminator 2 3-D show at Universal Studios? Ironically that was how I was introduced to the Terminator series, same with the Back to the Future ride.
I remember watching the first episode of The Sarah Connor Chronicles and not liking it at all. Your ranking has made me consider giving it another chance.

My personal favorite is the second one, and the worst genisys.
My ranking:
T1

Dark Fate

T3
Salvation
Dark Fate actually is THE ONLY sequel that didn't screw over the concept of "Not Fate But We Make" by showing that we can change the course of the future, but there are consequences. Not everything is be a nicely gift wrapped sugary sweet sunshine and rainbows ending. It was fairly realistic in that regard. Also, it lives up to T2's concept of it being human nature "to destroy ourselves." The creation of a new AI threat via hyper surveillance and the ensuing resource wars where he bomb the shit out of ourselves after Legion's black out great exemplifies this.
But T3, really? Killing Sarah off screen via cancer and showcasing a pussy version of John? Really? That's fucking satire. At least Dark Fate is more of a serious attempt.
And killing John was FAR more ballsy for the shock value alone. Plus, it gave the franchise a chance to FINALLY move AWAY from the Connors already. It had 3 chances to show Adult John and they failed miserably. Besides, he was never really all that much of the focus anyway, SARAH was. Dark Fate continues HER arc.
Salvation is boring af. It's a PG 13 forgone conclusion that serves no purpose. And with time travel involved and the whole causal loop aspect (with heavy emphasis on Kyle) MAKES it a prequel. Plus, the throwanator is simply unforgivable.
I can't believe you put these two above Dark Fate.
TSCC is FORGETTABLE
For me it goes like this:
Terminator 2
Terminator
Terminator Salvation
Terminator Dark Fate
Terminator 3
Terminator Genisys
Your speech about every sequel after T2 making that ending irrelevant is really thought provoking. It gives the question as to why this franchise couldn’t just end after two films. I still feel that Terminator 3 is the laziest, most poorly made, and most cringe worthy spit in the face. Also, I want to rewatch Salvation, since I feel I treated it unfairly.
EDIT: Forget what I said about T3 being the worst, I guess thinking about it made me snap in a certain way and my insane hatred felt like forced anger, looking back. I guess I just REALLY hated the comedy, inconsistent tone, the T-X, and how it made T2 pointless. There are good things about T3 though, the action is awesome (especially the action in the third act), the practical effects are great (CGI sucks though), and the ending was still a ballsy move that I have to give credit for, as well as being a nice sequence. I still hate the movie, but I find Genisys to be worse and less enjoyable, so that’s why I swapped the two at the bottom.
Dark Fate started off just like Alien 3. Doesn't matter if the movie was great or not. I would care to see it again.
I liked terminator genisys
I like Genisys and I definitely did not like dark fate. The one thing about Genisys that could have been done differently in my personal opinion was the Kyle Reese actor. The one character I actually had no problem with in dark fate was Grace. Yes she was a rip-off of the Marcus Wright character from salvation, but she was still a decent character. You are right about Kyle Reese in Terminator Salvation. The actor definitely nailed the part. The only good part in T3 was the end of the world. Very good review. I personally like Terminator 1, 2, and Genisys. The others, no.

As for the Sarah Connor Chronicles, I'm sorry, but its so bad. We learn nothing about Sarah that we didn't already know, it's the Sarah Connor Chronicles when the show is more about John and Cameron, John wants to bone a Terminator, Cameron's personality is inconsitant, the dream sequences are shallow and unnecessary, the CG is crap, even for a TV show, the direction is often poor, the villains are unintimidating. Oh and remember the rule established first movie? We can't travel forward in time....... Yeah, they do that.

Terminator dark fate was trash the worst movie
