Don't understand the issues with Indy 4 or Die Hard 4. In the case of Die Hard, I definitely agree they upped the outrageouness of the action, but not as much as people make it seem.
Yea, he jumps on a plane and makes it crash but people act like he's doing that the whole movie. It's like 10 seconds and not as ridiculous as the trailers make it seem. He sort of falls onto it and then off. The rest of the movie is fights and elevator shaft deaths. Pretty standard McLean.

I don't think it's any more over the top than Part 2, and it feels more like the 1st and 3rd than 2. I would probably rank it as my 3rd favorite of the series.

If The Dark Knight Rises is up to par, that will probably become a lot of people's pick. I don't know if I expect it to be as good as TDK, but if they can match the quality of Begins that's pretty damn good.
I'm sure there will be tons of people who have unreal expectations for that sequel. Really I just expect a good movie, but I bet some will be unreasonable.

Pretty much the opposite here. They're both shit compared to 1 and 2, but I felt 3 was at least an entertaining and competent action movie.
Even if it didn't live up to the Terminator name, it was a pretty fun and enjoyable movie. Plus it had Arnold greatness.

Part 4 was all kinds of awful. Boring, shallow, dull, and really just a loosely strung together piece of shit. I felt like I was watching cut scenes from a bad video game. At times it tried to imitate the tone of the first two, but it was in such a superficial way. The whole thing was just uninspired and missed the mark.

Christian Bale's performance was also pretty shit. I find it ironic that the leader of the human race and the heart of the series is the most robotic and boring character of all in that film. That irony wasn't an artistic choice either, but merely incidental.

Had more guns and was "darker" though, which I think aesthetically creates an illusion of it matching the first two. I dunno.
I think the future war is a concept I would have liked to see a movie about, but not the way it turned out. James Cameron's Terminator 3 would have been the shit.

If anyone has seen T2:3D at Universal Studios, you kinda get an idea where he might have gone with it. It's easily the 3rd best Terminator flick, at only 15 minutes.

Terminator 3 was shit, except for the lady Terminator being topless scene. Terminator 4 was ok I guess, but I have a hard time considering it a Terminator movie. Not sure if I'm makin' any sense.

There are some good action scenes. The biggest problem is that it's a Terminator movie, so it underwhelms.
Really it's pretty decent, and it's better than most non-Terminator Arnold movies. Predator, Total Recall and True Lies not included.

How do you count 3 but not 4? I mean they're both really bad, but 4 is at least as good if not better than 3.

How can you not count it based on quality? It's part of the series regardless of your opinion on it.
