To be honest I didn't watch it went it came out & I just caught it on TV when it made it there. Wasn't impressed. The whole thing stunk of exactly what swarmi said, marketing. I can imagine the producers script meetings now. Ok, we need something new, something cool, somewhere to 'take the franchise' and forgot that making the 'bad guy' a swedish supermodel was silly and that re-hashing the "going back in time to kill all the future human leaders" was daft as well, especially with it's holier-than-thou pompous ending.
As Dave said, either you have a linear time or a changeable one. The TX killed several of the future human leaders meaning that time is changeable, so why isn't it all changeable?
Overall I felt that there was never a need for another Terminator movie anyway - T2 was always going to be the high point for the franchise and, if they felt the need for another Terminator payday, they should have gone down the TV mini-series route and replaced Arnold while they were at it.
