Comics: I read some of the Dreamwave? Issues. They were decent. Still like the original Marvel series the best. Why should we have to turn off our brains to enjoy a movie to such a degree? I have never understood that argument when trying to justify flawed movies. Why cant we enjoy it because it was good? Not because we…
[ QUOTE ] While I can't think of any exact quotes from G1, I can assure you there are plenty of 'oops, my bad.' moments. I mean, come on... robots on surf boards? [/ QUOTE ] Yeah but its not so much the fact that Prime did that, but when they did it in the story (first action of Prime). He should have been a warrior first,…
well i think its relevant to a lot of trends in filmmaking overall, not just action movies--though as we've seen, many of those trends are presented in their most excruciatingly virulent form in action movies. the aforementioned abrasive sound design, and our current overall fixation, good ol' shakeycam. in ten years time,…
[ QUOTE ] Shanker I think most people have a problem with the Transfomermers movie because they were not enough robot battles, and when they were there they seemed rushed as hell. It might be a 3 series or what ever, don't know and don't care, if that is the case I would say that they did a good job at setting up the…
[ QUOTE ] Orci has also said that Bumblebee is a mute because they wanted to have that charming moment after Bumblebee transforms into a robot and Spike and Bumblebee have to communicate without words. I think he was thinking something like Iron Giant. He used some movie that he said he ripped it from. But I suppose I…
Just got back and here are my thoughts: I think Bay is just not very good at directing fight scenes. Honestly I could not tell what the hell was going on. It didn't help that the robot designs look like a jumbled mess, so you could be looking at a head or a hand or a gun or a foot and it all just looks the same. Is there…
[ QUOTE ] Take this example when Ang Lee released the Hulk. The majority hated it because they wanted to see the Hulk destroy things, (mind you, I enjoyed the movie), but Ang Lee was all about 'art', 'presentation of character', and characterization. What he failed to realize is that people just wanted to see an action…

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Man, there is just no way they can make a live action Transformers movie and have it not be cheesy as fuck. I could not give less of a shit about seeing this movie. It's gonna be stupid as fuck. [/ QUOTE ] Being a transformers fan.. I gotta ask what is it that makes you think its going to be so cheezy…
