I read that when casting was being conducted, Arnie did indeed intend to audition for the part of Kyle Reece, he career was kicking off and he obviously wanted to paly the part of an action hero.
But when he turned up Cameron changed his mind and said you literally are a machine and convinced him to play the Terminator role.
AhNOld has said that it was his choice to play the Terminator, the bad guy is always more interesting etc. There maybe be some truth in both stories.But when he turned up Cameron changed his mind and said you literally are a machine and convinced him to play the Terminator role.

I went to watch it today.
A bit disappointed. Started off quite well, then went quite stupid. The Sarah character was very good, but the Kyle character? Nothing like the original.
Turning John Connor into the antagonist was an epic fail. He was always meant to be a strong and unbreakable character. It just ruined it for me, as soon as he arrives in 2017 the movie totally bombed.
5/10 for me.

I rate it at 7/10, especially after watching T1 and seeing how well they did (for the passage of time) in matching the start of the timeline.A bit disappointed. Started off quite well, then went quite stupid. The Sarah character was very good, but the Kyle character? Nothing like the original.

Never mind turning John Connor to the dark side, Matt Smith's appearance as the human personification of Skynet ruined it for me. He has no air of menace at all, not even when he was doing his David Tennant accent. Also, seeing Dr Who in another time travel story took something away from it as well. Despite that, brill film

I enjoyed it, just as long as you don't think too much. Didn't particularly like the actor that played Kyle, he didn't bring any chemistry to the film.
Jai Courtney. He never brings anything to any film he's in as far as I can tell, utterly lacking in any sort of charm or charisma. Gets plenty of work though so can only assume he must have something on someone high up in the industry.

I really wanted to like it but IMO the plot is terrible. Laden with paradoxes, impossibilities and sloppy plot devices. Shame as I really wanted to like it but walked out just exasperated by what I had seen.
Anyone got an explanation for how John Conner (a metal robot) got sent back in time when the very same machine kills him? And why a super smart machine had only bothered to complete the big magnet part that coincidentally was the only way to kill him?

John Conner was protected from the time machine in the same way the other Terminators are protected - the human flesh protects the metal endoskeleton of the robot from what ever damage the time machine does to ordinary metal.Anyone got an explanation for how John Conner (a metal robot) got sent back in time when the very same machine kills him?

As for your other question, you did stay till the end of the credits didn't you...?
Saw this yesterday and really enjoyed it. Even the fact it was confusing added to the action as it wasn't clear what was going to happen next.
The obivious setups for the next 2 films felt a bit forced with some characters only really turning up to let you know that they will be back in later films.
The shot for shot remade parts were great too!

No, I never stay to the bitter end I'll assume that part of him ended up in the polyalloy or one or two bots survived and started to rebuild.
It was a fun film but almost everything that happened left me with questions.

To be fair, that's a bit daft these days - most films that are planned to have sequels have post-credit snippets. It was a fun film but almost everything that happened left me with questions.
As regards the questions, that's mostly fair, as they have to try and cover all the pedantic not-yet-invented grammatical tense questions and try and make it understandable for the average American
Saw this Friday night and last night.
The first viewing of it I was left a bit underwhelmed by it, but having seen it again last night with my mate who wanted to see it, it was much better.
I do agree with the comments above about Jai Courtney tho, something odd about him
And yes, there is a post credit scene, most had got up and left before it came on in both showings I went to
