Gives new life to the idea that the whole main idea of the Terminator had 2 really good films in it, but go beyond you are just recylcling what had already been done.

I guess this film's gross is going to be very telling. The question is being raised: do audiences actually want more Terminator at this point?

The critics went easy on T3 for whatever reason. I don't even dislike T3 but it is nothing but another T2 rehash with less exciting action, a far lamer villian and a severely miscast lead. I have no trouble believing that Dark Fate is a so-so film that is still a huge step up from the embarrassing, miscast and poorly directed disaster that was Genisys.

I'd hoped that question would have been answered with the last two

So Alita type critical reception it is. Alita also had a hard time with big critics.

Also, what a bunch of dick heads these reviewers/trades are who spoil major twists.

James Cameron and team should have requested these folks to avoid spoiling twists in the reviews like Hrithik and Tiger did for their movie WAR recently. 

If this was a marvel movie, these folks wouldn't have dared to spoil anything. Just a bunch of useless persons these critic community are.

Have to agree here. After the Joker stuff I just have no use for critics. At all. The only reason I check RT every now and then is because unfortunately it's very relevant to box office in some cases.

Terminator: Dark Fate
Critics Consensus: Terminator: Dark Fate represents a significant upgrade over its immediate predecessors, even if it lacks the thrilling firepower of the franchise's best installments.

I never take early reviews/early word to heart anymore. I remember what happened with The Predator. Supposedly it's early reviews were solid. Talk to me when we get 100-150 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and it's still above 60 percent. Reviews don't always matter but in Dark Fate's case I think they will.

In the end it will 

Be lower than T3 on RT even though they were bragging about it being a return to form and the true sequel 

everyone thinks it's better than T3 yet RT is lower than T3. 

 

What went wrong? RT did!

It’s time to end all the 80s franchises. Alien, Predator and Terminator have run their course.

franchise fatigue

[Zakiyyah6]

The critics can be idiotic when they work themselves up into a dumb frenzy (see the reaction to Joker for details) but I've already decided that if Dark Fate didn't get strong reviews then I wasn't seeing it and I'm sticking to that. This film doesn't get the benefit of the doubt after Salvation and especially Genisys.

56% Rotten now

Damn, ain't James Cameron on this thing? How come it turns rotten as well just like Alita?  thoughts?  @IronJimbo

The IGN review sounds great!

Its current 60% can probably count as a win after the last two films. At any rate no-one can feign surprise after the good-but-not-great early reactions.

Pretty much this. Even though I don't have much fate in DF.
