Terminator Plot Makes No Sense

The film that made James Cameron and Sylvester Stallone movie legends, introduced the new generation of SFX, was pretty much a revolution in the action movie scene. It was made in the 80s but soon was followed by a sequel (in 1991), a disaster (2003) and another part (2009).

I didn't watch the fourth part. The third was crap. But if you remember the plot from the first two, you probably noticed that the plot is pretty complex and at some point it makes no sense. Here's some facts that make you wonder:

* The terminator and human from the future came back in time in a bubble, naked. The plot explains that as - clothes can't come through, since they're syntetic. But the robot is covered with flesh, so he can go through. He gets some clothes and weapons. Pretty simple. But why does the T-1000 (the shape shifter) come back in time naked? My guess is that James Cameron is gay and likes to watch naked men. Would explain why Kristanna Loken (had the ability to shape shift similar to T-1000) came back in time naked too (Terminator 3) - there was a different director, straight this time.

* The target for termination is John Connor's mother in the first movie. But John Connor's dad is the guy that came back in time to save her. That's not the same John Connor in Terminator 2!

* In Terminator 2, they have to get the parts of the terminator from the first movie and melt it down to prevent the scientists from recreating the technology. But the terminator from the second movie gets creamed so many times and loses parts throughout the movie!

* Why did the T-1000 ask Sarah Connor to call her son? He could imitate her voice like he did with his step mother when John phoned her.

* In Terminator 3, the machine says that it's not the same one as in Terminator 2, but that it was built to look that way to gain John Connor's trust - so that it looks like the friendly terminator. But if it looks like the friendly terminator, it makes it fucking obvious that it's a machine! How did it kill John Connor? And why was another machine sent to kill him when he was young afterwards? He already was dead in the future.

Terminator makes no sense. The third part was awful. I don't know if I want to watch the fourth part. It might be even worse than the third. I do recommend the two first parts. The plot sucks, but it's worth to watch it even if it's just for Stallone's awesome acting.
