Yep, agree about Skynet.
Didn't fully realize the Total Fail of Bale until the movie had sunk in. He's laughable and pretty horrible. I didn't realize till a day or so later that he made zero case for John Connor being the revered leader and messianic savior of his repulation ... and our quarter-century expectation.
But I liked the Marcus Wright character, and it was basically his story with John Connor as an afterthought.
I'm not a fan of Bale's Batman either, so he should retired from the craft.
Still enjoyed it. Except for the original, in all its B-Movie nonpretentions, the Terminator films have tons of flaws to be glossed over by general slick entertainment appreciation.
