Just because the later sequels are rubbish, it doesn't mean the first two aren't still good films. It's the Hollywood way to keep making the cash-ins until they are crap enough that it kills off the franchise. You've just got to remember that the reason they want to keep making sequels or reboots, is because the first one or two were so good. Later, crappy versions doesn't take away from that, so you might as well enjoy the good ones and ignore the crap ones.

To be honest the leak reads like a comment on Reddit. To me it looks like after the events of T2 John Conner removes himself as being the prime target is all, but like his mom is ready for any other potential threats but stays underground.

Saw that earlier. The plot sounds terrible

Going back to an old post but I agree, I loved T2 growing up but it's lost a lot of it's impact and the original is a far better movie. I also consider Aliens a classic, I knew it pretty much word for word in my teens and it hasn't aged a day.
It's only meant to be his face from t2 being superimposed onto a body double from what i've read.
This is the kid doing the part for him in his younger years.

Be weird if Furlong did make an actual appearance, last i heard he looked rough as a Badgers arse and had piled on a load of weight.
Yeah hes had some bad years, drugs etc. He's meant to be in better shape now though not seen anything pic wise to confirm it.
Interesting about Furlong.
You have to credit the original actor if you want to use their likeness, but that's just a technicality - saying he's going to be in it does sound like it'll be the actual actor, and not just old footage either.
Outside of just the movie, it's always sad when child actors get ****** up. I tend to feel something like guilt for having... I dunno.... stolen/absorbed their childhood by consuming these movies, so being complicit in their downward spiral. Hope Furlong can get his **** together and find some equilibrium.

I dunno. Would they have Furlong voice the face CG young Connor? And that's really the extent of what they're in the movie for?
I never made it to the end of T3 and tuned it off about a third of the way in. Never seen Salvation or Genesys. Knowing Cameron was fully on-board this time I thought in this new era of AI he must now have something new to say about how humanity and machines interact. But seeing the trailer it's clear this is just a derivative rehash of T2 with nothing new to say at all.
It was poor Terminator film but, IMHO, it had an absolutely great dark ending which was more better than the rest of film deserved.
Never had a problem with T3. The crane scene is a favourite of mine.
Salvation and Genesys were really bad though. Only thing I remember liking from both films was the almost "for the 4th wall" comment on how short Emilia Clarke is.
