No, they royally fucked that up in Genisys, essentially wiping out the only 2 GOOD Terminator movies from the timeline (T1 and T2). Fuck that noise.

And who wouldn't want to see a hardened Sarah Connor post-T2?

It is disgusting, but if you factor in theater take plus advertising costs, it only made roughly $121.35m for the studio on a total budget of $150m, so it was still a flop. And Expendables 3 thankfully made less than the first 2 movies after Lionsgate neutered it to get a PG-13 rating, which is kinda surprising since they make their lion's share of R-rated films (pun intended).

When will studios learn that watering down R-rated franchises (or movies that should be rated R) NEVER works? AVP 1, Terminator 4 and 5, Prom Night remake, Spawn, Scary Movie 3 and 4, World War Z (yes, it sucked, shoot me), RoboCop 2014, Expendables 3, etc., all shitty movies IMO, most of them flops (thank God). GoodBadFlicks made a great vid on the subject (best bit starts at the 6:57 mark):

They're thankfully making a new RoboCop directed by Neill Blomkamp, also in the vein of Halloween that ignores all the other sequels, that's getting the hard R treatment, though.

She's 62 now. Hardened grannie, no thanks. The problem with setting it in the future is that the terminators aren't all that scary with futuristic weapons at the hero's disposal. How do you defeat a Terminator in the 50's going after Sarah's parents.

I haven't seen Genisys.

Not interested. Genisys and Salvation were god awful and trailers dont make this one look any better for me.

I watched Genisys and im sure this can't be worst can it?? lol

But I dont trust James Cameron anymore these days, he promoted Genisys saying it was good too and that turned out to be the biggest garbage in the series.

I know many disliked Salvation but it was nice to see that it was getting closer to the point where John Connor was suppose to send the T-800 back in time to save him...but nope Genisys just made it a lot worst.

Since this is a direct sequel to T2 this better be good or else just end the franchise once and for all before doing a full reboot.

It's not out yet. 

Salvation was actually the future war itself. It was set in 2018, 14 years after T3. It was supposed to be the start of a new trilogy based on the war itself, but the film tanking completely threw that under the bus. 

Ironically, so was Genisys until it flopped. And the funny thing is, both movies actually made less than T3 despite them being available to a wider audience, or at least Salvation did when adjusted for inflation.

When will studios learn we don't want watered-down films from R-rated franchises/properties? Oh wait, it looks like they're finally starting to get the message. RoboCop Returns from Neill Blomkamp is getting the hard R Halloween 2018 treatment (as in, it ignores the shitty sequels and remake that nobody asked for) and it looks like this will as well.

Probably but it isn't a priority

I"m cautiously hopeful. I like a lot of the names attached. Hopefully it does indeed turn out to be this year's Halloween.

Cautious hope x2.

The footage shown at CinemaCon has a time travel scene where MacKenzie Davis appears fully nude based on the trailer descriptions, so this bodes well for it getting an R rating. Then again, this was in the works for a while with Tim Miller, director of the first Deadpool movie attached and James Cameron returning as a producer.

No, it doesn't guarantee a good movie (see T3), but these movies should not be PG-13. Nothing about evil killer futuristic robots taking over the human race and eye/mouth-stabbing androids screams family-friendly.
