Terminator Fans either love his interpretation/performance as John Connor in Terminator Salvation or hate it; but without a doubt Christian Bale is one of the greatest actors of our generation and someone we think was extremely let down by a poorly formed script, which was greatly damaged by a Hollywood writers strike.
Had Terminator Salvation been set in a grisly dark and brutal dark blue future war setting it would have been more true to the original movie and a trilogy would have gone ahead. Potential sequel ideas included Bale’s Connor reuniting with Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) and possibly either fighting or working alongside a T-800 depending on if William Wisher (writer of T2) programmed Schwarzenegger to be good or bad in the Terminator Salvation sequels.
Happy Birthday Christian Bale!

After Nick Stahl’s John Connor in T3 any other interpretation would be good. Nevertheless I think Christisn’s adult Connor is the most proper one. He resembles adult John we see in T2 before opening titles. And Chrisyan”s John has a very strong charachter which is the only way to become a resistance leader.
As I said Stahl’s John sucks – stupid, weak, ugly.
Clarke’s Connor of Genusis might be ok, but Christian Bales is the best adult John Connor.
