Great Movie, but ehh...

Earlier today, my dad and I went out to the movies to see Terminator Salvation. Now, the movie was awesome; So awesome, that even the following things that I am going to do had little or no affect to it's awesomeness. But still;


1.) Common cannot act (atleast not in this movie). When he delivered each line, (which, I'm almost certain were voiced over) it sounded like was rapping it. Haha. Matter of fact, the only line he delivered well was "C'mon y'all let's go!". And he wasn't even in the shot the whole time when said it. But he is and always will be one of my favorite rappers. It's okay, Common; you made money off of it.


2.) Terry Crews: They upped it a noch this time, black people. If you've ever watched Everybody Hates Chris, then you know who Terry Crews is. He plays the dad, Julius. And he also played Damon in Friday after Next (Funniest husky black guy EVER). Now, they gave him a role in Terminator. And knowing that he's black, and he's in an action movie, you can pretty much add 2 and 2 together and say he died first in the movies, right? WRONG. This nigga was a movie extra; an already dead soldier. They closed up on him an everything.



Damn, they used to actually show the black people die. Smh

3.) I'M GOING TO NEED FOR ARNOLD SCHWARTZENNEGER TO NOT BE WHOOPIN' PEOPLE'S ASS IN THE NUDE. Enough said. :/

&& No picture necessary, If you don't mind.

All in all, the movie was "Outstanding", as my dad would say. The action was almost realistic. And the movie had me laughing all the way through. But I'm sure that wasn't the intent of Joselph McGinty Nichol. But, w/e.
