The biggest thing I didn't understand was why Marcus Wright was allowed to keep his free will. I thought at one point Skynet had updated his program, but that didn't seem to be the case. Maybe it had to do with his human brain.

This is from the same screenwriters who brought you Halle Berry's "Catwoman."
If the plot doesn't seem to hold up by the time you've reached your car in the parking lot, it's most likely because it doesn't.

"Here...take MINE"
What a dissapointing flick. But you're right NC- what should we expect from those writers...not to mention that hack McG!

"Here...take MINE"

The original ending sounded even worse.
After it got leaked McG changed it.
For a list of other changes, check this out.
Apparently, the Michael Ironside sub captain role was to be Connor.

Great article, dude. VERY interesting.

Thanks.

Great action. McG has def. redeemed himself from at least a technical standpoint.
But whose bright idea was it to make a new character (Marcus) the focal point, in what should be John Connor's story?
No real complaints aside from Marcus's character arc...couldn't care less about that guy.
It's kinda like waiting all these years for Indy 4 to come out, only to find Shia LaBeouf hogging a majority of the screentime.
Don't get the creative logic behind it at all.

That was Bales.. something about he would do the film unless that was the case.

That was Bales.. something about he would do the film unless that was the case.

By most accounts, it seems Bale made the movie Connor-centric.
Something I was in favor of (at least initially).
The movie, as originally written, focused largely on Marcus and Reese.
Connor was to remain camouflaged in mystery, broadcasting updates from his submarine rebel command.
