She seems really sweet and lovely, I'll admit. And the idea Gensisysisisys had about remixing known constants isn't bad, just bungled execution. And who thought it was a good idea to spoil evil John Connor in the trailers? That could have been a cool T2-esque reveal.

Probably the same people whose idea it was to spoil T2's good Arnold Terminator reveal.

There was literally no one on earth who thought Arnold was the bad guy in T2 even before the earliest trailers were released because him being reprogrammed to help/being the good guy was what the movie even getting made with him hinged on because Arnold didn't want to play a villain/monster again at that time.

Meet me and all my friends, who were in middle school -> high school at the time and all thought Arnold was going to be the bad guy until one of us saw an Entertainment Tonight segment that spoiled it (and told the others). Thanks a lot, Eugene.

I asked my father in law about it a few years ago, and he told me that they all thought Arnold and Robert were both bad guys trying to kill John. Guess his memory is a bit faulty, so that's a bummer.

Emilia Clarke is okay in Genisys, I think she's just not given enough to work with.

Jai Courtney sucks in it (he's very easily outclassed in any scene he shares with Arnold) but he's been good in Suicide Squad, Jack Reacher and Felony.

Part of the reason why Salvation was so bad was word got out about the "John Connor is a terminator" thing and the producers promptly poo poo their pants and wrote it out of the story because of the reaction

With Genisys they just decided to own it up front.

I used to get Sam Worthington and the guy who was in Spartacus mixed up.

Edit: replacing dead John Connor with a robot John Connor to keep the resistance alive was a neat idea; I wish they would have soldiered through.

Adkins made two revenge movies where the twist was HE HADN'T COMMITTED ENOUGH REVENGING VENGEANCE YET. They were both loving great.

I'm watching Avengement now and about 40 minutes in I've already lost count of the number of fights.

They're all brutal street fights too, no fancy choreography or anything. Just fists. Lots and lots of fists.

I'm double posting because I just found out there's ANOTHER Scott Adkins movie coming out called Legacy of Lies

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6834916/

quote:

SYNOPSIS: Martin Baxter an ex-CIA agent is thrown back into the world of espionage and high stakes when Shasha Stepanenko, a beautiful young Ukrainian journalist seeks his help uncovering the shocking truth about covert operations conducted by the Russian Secret Service.

What haunts former CIA agent Martin Baxter?…ancient enemies, unfinished business or a feeling of worthlessness? Ten years have passed since he resigned the CIA after making a fatal misjudgement in a covert op in Kiev in which he tried to get hold of secret files containing proof of operations conducted by the Russian Secret Service…
Is he willing to die to reveal the truth or let millions of people die…?

An incredible white-knuckle thriller of a movie starring the undisputed Scott Adkins of “Undisputed- BOYKA”; The Expendables; Dr. Strange to name a few incredible movies, Scott is one of the top martial arts film stars in the world…

I guess at some point they changed him from being ex-MI6 to ex-CIA because the facebook page for the movie says CIA and IMDB says MI6.

Does Scott Adkins sleep? Like when he tells everyone on set "hey great work today everyone, see you tomorrow!" he secretly goes to another movie shoot on the other side of town.

Thirding or whatever that Avengement is dope. It's a trashy, hella cockney remake of 'Hara-Kiri' but both better and not quite as good as that sounds.

That last fight might be some of the best work Adkins has done.

Now that I've seen the trailer, this looks like a Dad Movie in the worst way.

Like I know there's a plot justification for it, but he went from manning a boat in Thailand to looking like the protagonist in one of those schmaltzy CMT movies.

I have an odd and very specific question.

A movie came out last year called 'Re:Born' and it honestly defies classification. The bits that aren't fight scenes play out like Metal Gear Solid fan films made by an airsoft team. But the fights are absolutely loving dope, like top tier knife fights. And a lot of them. The entire last 40 minutes or so is just one long fight scene (not that there wasn't a whole bunch of fighting before that)

I don't know how many folk here saw it, but it's worth watching just to marvel at how bad the plot is and how very good the fights are. What I was wondering is, for those who have seen it, does anyone know where to find the 'tactical pants' the main character wears? They look really comfortable.

Yeah Re:Born is fucken dope. Absolute silly as poo poo action film. I know lots of people found the plot and talky bits boring but the melodrama of it all kept me pretty entertained. There's a dude named Abyss Walker. That's right alongside Die-Hardman.
