There was a bit of cheese at the end of this one too, but it wasn't awful. I found myself truly enjoying this film. No Oscars, but entertaining. I saw two problems (neither were all that bad, nor did they ruin the fun for me). (1) The most interesting character was the cyborg, not John. They should have developed this character more, and John's character should not have been such an ass. Bale seemed to be confusing John with Batman. (2) John was familiar, from T2 (and I assume T3), intimately with cyborg models. He even had one that he programmed to protect his past self. Why then did he have so many issues trusting the cyborg in this film? Even having reasons to not trust, why fear it while he had the nifty power-off freq? Didn’t see T3… heard it was a cheesy mess.
