The original script only gave John Connor about 3 minutes of screen time and was going to focus more on that marcus guy and kyle. McG wanted Bale to play Marcus but I guess being familiar with the franchise insisted on playing John Connor and he wasn't happy with the 3 minutes of screen time. So they re-wrote the movie to include John Connor more while trying to stay true to the original script and it basically became a clusterfuck.

I don't think I would have preferred the original script. I would have preferred it to have started right after Judgement day occurred and then show how John Connor joined the resistance and moved the up the ranks. The ending, which may not have been until the 3rd film of this series would have to answer the major question that T2 and then some brought into play; if Skynet had the ability to send T1000 to 91 why didn't they just send a few T1000s to 84 and killed Sarah and Kyle for good? And if John had the ability to send a T800 after the T1000 why didn't he send a T800s with Kyle?
The only answer for this that I could think of is that Skynet never sent the Terminators back in the first place. John stopped Skynet before they sent back the Terminators and Skynet was destroyed and the humans won. But John how realizes that it was he who sent back the terminators to kill himself and Kyle and the Terminator to keep himself alive. He realizes that with out his experiences he never would have been able to beat Skynet and he needs to face what he faced to become who he became.
Javier:
It was a pretty meh movie. So far, Star Trek still has the crown for the best movie of the year.

Yeah, but that original script was fucking RETARDED.

if anyone wants to read it - trust me, bale did the right thing by insisting on those rewrites.
Also, alot of people complain that there isn't enough character development, but McG talks about that here: (basically, theres 30 minutes of cut footage)

And has any one seen T2 ultimate edition (or something like that) It comes with
3 versions of it and for one of them. you need a code to watch it has any seen it?

I have the Extreme edition (which has two), but I know what you're talking about. The original, theatrical version is the best. The extended adds 20 minutes of redundant filler and just slows down the pace of the movie too much. There's one good scene, but the movie's much better without the rest.
There's also the alternate extended one which adds a new ending that shows a happy future - also worse.

The only interest I have in this movie is because Christian bale is in it.He's been my favorite actor since I first saw american psycho
mikeOG:
seen it the other day, it just felt cheesy and they were throwing random stuff around hoping it would stick. I lost interest half way through the film. good action but nothing that will make me want to see this movie again like the other terminator flicks. T2>T1>>T3>>>>>T4
big fail, hopefully McG retires. like some have said this feels like what batman and robin (T4) were to Darknight (T2, T1)
