Terrible choice for the Terminator movie

In the original, Michael Biehn was a great choice to play Kyle Reese as he actually looked like someone who had been fighting a war, not getting much sleep or food, etc. For Genisys they get this guy who looks like a pumped up gym rat douchebro. Sorry, but people in the middle of a desperate war where food and supplies are scarce would not look like that.

No disrespect to the actor, he was just a bad casting choice.

Agree and would add that Jai Courtney simply cannot act beyond "speaking his lines". No doubt he remembers his lines like a good boy, but that's all he can do. He has zero x-factor personality. He'd actually make a good cyborg because of his natural lifelessness.
