Being honest, I don't think there was a legitimate need to make a movie once James Cameron left the franchise, he's the reason these movies are as good as they are. Below is my ranking of The Terminator movies: 06. Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines 05. Terminator Salvation 04. Terminator Genisys 03. Terminator: Dark Fate 02. Terminator 2: Judgment Day 01.

James Cameron is forced to work on a limited budget but is able to produce the perfect combination between horror, sci-fi and action that has aged like a fine wine.

He was correct. Schwarzenegger is a menacing and terrifying villain. ...
