I mean, you should already know the plot before even going into the theater like UnlikedOne said. Arnold has to destroy the other terminator, right?

Trust me it can. And didn't Arnold have to destroy the other Terminator in T2? Still combining action and fear effectively?
The whole movie was just one unfinished chase scene. It couldn't do it for me. I don't know if that "boom and bang" is appealing to people maybe the ones who don't have taste. Who most definently said, "This is was a great movie because it is a Terminator movie!" I mean I could sense the fakeness all around me in many scenes but not to say I didn't enjoy Arnold's intelligence when he dropped the crane underground for that nice smash or the "Talk to the hand!" line at the gas station. But regardless, they seemed to want to mimc T2 so badly. Bringing in that god forsaken psychiatrist from the psych ward. Who cares about him? Why the hell was he brought along with the police to the cemetary? Does he think he can stop the Terminator? That was annoying. Even though they didn't use the theme!! Your not a true fan of any Terminator movie if you didn't miss the theme. It's just what makes it heroic; to keep fighting, to survive. Well, listen to the theme and get your own ideas. Then they had to make the TX not-effiecient, come on, with every upgrade there is more intelligence, so why does she waste 5 shots on the little kid opening the door? Ooooh, big threat!
To quote someone earlier, someone always has to bitch or something to that effect, I'm not bitching I'm just saying what everyone else is afraid to say, That this movie was too much action and not enough emotion. No fear. Didn't feel scared for a second nor shocked unless someone can point out a scene that scared them. T2's knife through the milk carton was gory enough for me to give you an idea. Didn't see that creativity here. But again did like the ending, with jamming the fuel cell down the TX's throat and the earlier LA smash fest but just at the end when the crane truck filps over. Maybe it didn't have to make you think, though that would have been a plus, but it sure as hell didn't make you feel.
