I feel the same way Bale and Terminator seems like the perfect match. Mc G has always been about fluff and explosions, I don't think he can spell plot let a lone craft one. So far the movie is getting pretty bad reviews: http://www.newsy.com/videos/terminator_s_mixed_re...

I agree that Anton Yelchin (Kyle Reese) was one of the best parts of the movie. He was easily the best actor. I was very disappointed by Christian Bale who is one of my favorite actors. That one-note gruff talk needs to stop. I also agree that he could have been more of a smart ass like in the other installments. Overall, Salvation wasn't The Terminator or T2, but it was definitely better than T3.
