A little more depth would have helped make “Public Enemies” more engaging than it actually is. On a visual scale, it’s technically proficient and impressive, but on an emotional level, it lacks the cinematic gravitas to stand alongside classic gangster epics like “Bonnie and Clyde” and “The Untouchables.”

One of the biggest questions surrounding “Terminator Salvation” since it went into production was whether the original T-800, Arnold Schwarzenegger, would appear in the film.

Could Governor Schwarzenegger somehow take part in the latest entry in the franchise and ‘be back’ as the character that made him famous with looming issues of his availability to spend time away from his political duties and the necessity to look exactly as he did in the 1984 original film?

Access Hollywood’s Nancy O’Dell sat down with “Terminator Salvation” director McG and star Christian Bale to discuss Schwarzenegger’s involvement and his eventual approval of his role.

If the third movie was better than it had any right to be, the fourth film isn’t nearly as lucky — and that’s because it’s a loud movie that doesn’t have a lot to say. In fact, if there’s anything to be learned from “Terminator Salvation,” it’s that a) McG likes to blow stuff up, and b) Christian Bale, who plays resistance leader John Connor, likes to shout — a lot.
