When he said "Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh, I'm being directed by McG", I couldn't stop laughing :D Great Review !!

"Ive woken up! Im in a movie directed by McGeee!!"

"Life threateningly dull" is a phrase I need to use more often.

I think Bale's meltdown was his attempt at trying to get himself fired.

This is one of Mark Kermode's funniest reviews and I come back to it from time to time whenever I need a laugh.

'McGee is like Michael bays untalented cousin' I think that has to be the harshest insult iv heard in a loooooong time! 😂

2:17 "I need some milk. It's been four days since I have had a decent source of calcium. Please, if you are out there, go to the fridge. Semi skimmed. This is John Connor"

Kermode is so funny. A great critic.

"McGeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

6:47 is the best sound ever!!!

Kermodes' Husky Yorkshire accent* " HE TALKS LIIKE THAT."

mcgeeee! mcgeeee! can you stop that now? no i cant!...because thats his name! LMAO the 'almost yorkshire bit' creased me up too

T1 was made for just over $6 million, T2 was nearly $100 million. I think people sometimes forget just how cheaply made the first Terminator was - and it only really shows during the scene in which Arnie is reparing his face, which was a bit rubbish. I often think people dismiss the film for that scene, but it's actually one of the last great sci-fi/action movies that was made completely without CGI and what they did on the budget was UNBELIEVABLE.

One of the greatest reviews

"Oh my god, I'm in a film being directed by McGEEEEEEE!" ...Hmm, never thought of it that way before. Yea, I'd flip out at a DP too.

I just love Kermodes laugh at 9:17

Agree with Mark entirely regarding the reason for Bale's outburst - he realised that he was making a terrible movie and took it out on somebody who he perceived to be getting in the way of him possibly salvaging it.

"mcg is like michael bay's untalented cousin", wow.. that is just.. I can't even describe how awesome his trolling is

Christian Bale's rant is the same as my reaction after watching Terminator Salvation.....

Greatest Kermode Review Ever.

"Life threateningly dull." XD

MCGEE!!

I love T2. But the first Terminator is my favourite. I prefer the low budget, gritty realism to it, seems more terrifying. T3 is almost like a spoof. Salvation was a major letdown for me. The script wasn't good, the idea of Sam Worthington's character didn't work, the action was boring. It just didn't do the story arc justice at all. The only thing I liked in this was Anton Yelchin's perfomance as Kyle Reese, I think he channeled it pretty well.

I'm eagerly anticipating his Dark Fate review. Also, in defense of McG - Bill Murray has famously had physical smackdowns and verbal altercations with MANY people over the years. He punched Chevy Chase, dragged a producer across a table by the shirt collar when he was told he couldn't go home for a weekend (forget which movie that was but I think Jay Mohr told the story a while back), and had beef with Harold Ramis for years after Groundhog Day. So I wouldn't say it's a huge feat to piss off Bill Murray.

McGeeeeeees start at 04:05.

My favourite part was whenever the terminator got its hands on a human, rather than crushing the humans bones or tearing it to pieces it threw them away, hardly the actions of an efficient robot killer & despite having an inbuilt targeting system & super mechanical strength that would mean recoil would not affect its aim, the terminator shoots worse than storm troopers & they also take humans as prisoners instead of killing them :/

McG! Love the way he says that.

Terminator 4...the film is a machine

So far, my favourite Bale film is Equilibrium. I loved the '1984' meets 'Matrix' theme.

Classic! Love his take on why Bale exploded.

Choosing McG to direct this movie show's you how lazy the producers were. That is enough proof that they weren't taking this sequel seriously.

The sad thing about the Terminator franchise is that after T2, by far the best thing to follow was the Sarah Connor Chronicals, and that got cancelled just as it was getting stupendously good.

I still remember when Christian Bale was part of the masterpiece that was Empire of the Sun! Anyone else?!

Oh I know i'm probably a little bit mature for laughing so hard, but whenever Kermode did the McG thing, I couldn't stop laughing

Definitley one of my favourite Kermode reviews :)

The only thing I learned from this video is Mc GEEEEEEEEEE

what annoyed me most was that in this apocalyptic wasteland all of the female characters have perfect makeup

Haha...Kermodes reviews are awesome! They are always brutally honest with no holds barred, ive stopped getting depressed and frustrated by the lack of good cinema because i know Marks reviews of trashy films will be entertaining. A national treasure!

mc geeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Yes, A Truly CLASSIC Kermodian Rantaphasitc Slaggathon

Micheal Winner defends Christian Bale... that's a credential right there.

McGiiiiiii. :D

This is a wild and funny review

the whole of history of shit cinema was building to this epic 10 minutes of a review so glad it still lives

"McGeeeee" is up there with "Zack Snyder".

I agree and can add more to that. T1 is the scariest, the most violent, the best soundtrack and the most seriously handled of all the Terminator films.

Kermode is so funny!!

I still like the A10 Warthog scene even though the pilots were fools

"McGee !!!!" hahahahahahaha

I watched this now and again it’s absolutely joyful. Hilarious.

The original Terminator is one of the best films ever. This is poopey do

Mcgggggeeeee!! Play the drinking game! It's great with this video!

Mc GEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Cameron used dedication to make what T1 turned out to be.

McG is a knob! He describes Christian Bale's outburst as a moment where he just went overboard in a passionate atmosphere. Not quoting, but that's along the lines of what he said. Whilst Christian Bale is an intense and very focused actor i don't see him being someone who'd lose the plot like that unless it was for a very good reason. McG hasn't a clue how to direct on a movie set, nor has he the ability to coax good performances out of actors. This Means War is another example of how he can make great actors look vioristic and dire.

I know. I'm pretty sure I first listened to this live and I was dying of laughter, especially because I had seen the film before the review. I was so excited to see the video but it never came. Maybe the cameras were broken...

mcGEEEE!

I'm irritated that Kermode has essentially absolved Bale of any blame for his ludicrously childish outburst.

McGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

It was essentially a Sci Gi remake of The Great Escape Complete with a Motorcycle jumping an X shaped Barb wired fence , prisoners in train cars too etc on and on. Plus unfortunately it made humans looking dumb by falling prey to such loud crazy stomping machines and robots.

3:17 nice impression, lol

McGeee!...McGEEEEE!

somewhere in amongst the mess of Salvation was a great movie trying to get out..

"Life-threateningly dull." :o)

I'd like to see a Batman film where Batman has a yorkshire accent.

Someone doesn’t lose his temper like Bale did over just a lighting issue. This is the kind of meltdown that only happens if your anger has been building for some time and probably due to several reasons. I’m sure Bale was unhappy with how the movie was turning out, regretted that he’d signed on, and didn’t like the people he was working with like McGeeeeeeee and the cinematographer. That’s not an excuse for his behavior, just an explanation. Bale’s career recovered. I can’t think of anything McGeeeeeeee and the cinematographer have done since this movie that’s noteworthy.

Bale is probably quite aware of how bad the performance was- we're talking about a guy who lived on nothing but fruit for months on end for one performance. He'll be far more annoyed with himself than he would be with any reviewers for pointing it out.

MC GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Absolutely agree.

re bales vocal performance: but when in the movie does he ever order milk ? so the tension and anxiety in the voice is legitamate

*who orders milk ._.*

Yes, A Truly CLASSIC Kermodian Rantaphasitc Cacophanacious Slaggathon

Kermode rants are really something else. He's right, the movie fell flat.

AHHHH ! im being directed by Mc Gee!

@ryanstiles I think Bale overreacted but he was absolutely right to get angry with the DP, especially after he had been told not to move the lights around beforehand. Still, you have to wonder why someone as talented and quite often daring as Bale would sign onto a movie this soulless.

"SPARTA SAYS NO!"

Mick GEEEE!

@sanitybug Also check out the review of Mamma Mia (if you haven't found it yet). It's my favourite one. Kermode's delivery is just great all the time, but it's best when he either hates or adores something.

@DeckyStrikesBack Yeah, and a CGI Arnie doesn't cut it either.

Kermode to Mc Geee : "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!!" : )

Charlie’s Angels 3!

Why would anyone watch a Star trek film made by JJ Abrams?

I find it kind of funny that Mark mentions that Michael Winner supported Christian Bale's outburst, considering that Winner has been accused by multiple people of being an abusive asshole on set.

Doesn’t change the fact that guy who plays let’s pretend for a living had a hissy fit

waiting for the kermode rant with bale

I quite enjoyed it :D

Sadly, I don't think it is.

Me too! McGeeeeeeeeeee!

Waking up naked in a maths exam. Oh boy, can I relate.

Isn't McG the producer on Supernatural.

McGeeeee!

"i'm in Charlie's Angels 3!"

I believe sometimes actors have to accept certain crap roles from production compaies in order to be awarded roles they really want. I understand this is Bale we are talking about, but to be honest I would not be in the least surprised if even A list actors and the top movie stars still have to go through this by the way the world is turning.

What does 'goner' mean?

Ahhh! I've woke up. I'm being directed by Mcgeeeee!

McGEEEE!

@sanitybug his review of Star Trek's positive and oddly warm. It's kind of weird hearing the good doctor in praise mode.

True, true.

up there with mmmmmegan foxxxx

@sanitybug Hath portention occurred?
