Come with me, and we'll be, in a world of total Schadenfreude

Ahem.

The reviews for Terminator Salvation are out.

The Rotten Tomatoes consensus:

With storytelling as robotic as the film's iconic villains, Terminator Salvation offers plenty of great effects but lacks the heart of the original films.

Gee, I wonder where storytelling with heart might've gone?

Now, just for fun, let me quote from a few of the reviews...

There's not much here in the way of way of humanity, even with the strong feminine presence of actresses...It seems the machines have already won.

Christy Lemire

Gee, I wonder where the humanity might've gone?

there's not so much acting here as there is yelling at different volumes.

Bill Goodykoontz
Arizona Republic

Gee, I wonder where the acting might've gone?

(BTW, just as an aside: "Goodykoontz?" Best name ever.)

Fails because it doesn't really get you excited about the return of the franchise... and a lot of that comes down to the cheesy writing and bad acting.

Gee, I wonder where the excitement might've gone?

Way to put all your money on the right horse, Fox.
