I know “Terminator Salvation” is going to make all the money in the world this weekend; Warner’s marketed the crap out of it, and judging from the response of my preview audience the other night, it delivers all the crashing, banging and exploding that people think they want from these huge action tentpoles. So, yeah, it’ll be huge.

But is it any good? Is it even necessary? Check out the review linked above, and you’ll see.

(Spoiler alerts: No, and no.)
