This is not the future I imagined. A world of unbelievable special effects, used as a backdrop to a weak story. Uninspiring characters that offer close to nothing to the whole. A complete and utter lack of humor and cleverness, things made classics like T1 and T2 special. Terminator Salvation isn’t a bad movie, hell, [...]

Way, way back, before comic book movies were keeping Hollywood afloat at the box office (along with Pixar I suppose), that industry decided to get its feet wet in a big way with X-Men.
