James Cameron feels ‘Terminator: Salvation’ missed Arnie

James Cameron, who had written and directed the first Terminator film, feels the latest sequel didn`t feel authentic due to the absence of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

London: James Cameron, who had written and directed the first Terminator film, feels the latest sequel didn`t feel authentic due to the absence of Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, the ‘Avatar’ helmer acknowledged that director, McG, had done a good job, even though Schwarzenegger made only a brief cameo appearance in the film.
"Interestingly, I think McG did a good job. I think he was almost too referential to the myths of the first and second film. He over-quoted them in a way,” the Daily Express quoted him as telling Ugo.com He added: “It didn`t feel to me to be enough of a reinvention. The thing we did with the second film is that we reinvented the first film completely; spun it on its a** and made the Terminator the good guy, and came up with a whole new concept for a villain, it felt fresh. "I didn`t feel the fourth picture was fresh enough. It also lacked a certain stamp of authenticity because Arnold wasn`t in it. I mean, he was in it briefly, digitally, but that`s not the same thing." ANI
