New Transformers Movie

The crazy action wasn't what killed it from me. It was the ghetto-bots and perv-ticons.

When you have a small transformer humping your leading lady's leg, that's when you know the movie has hit rock bottom.

I was too busy involuntarily flipping off the TV to notice details.

How can any adult even consider watching these ridiculous movies? It isn't even mindless action. It's just plain mindless.

And what ridiculous movies are you referring to?

If you are talking about Transformers then maybe action just isn't for you. No one in their right mind would ever say these movies were Oscar contenders or had a great story. I mean for frick's sake they are based off of an animated japanese show and a toy line about giant alien robots for crying out loud. If you dig boring emotional dramas then cool for you. When I go to movie theaters, I want to see shite I don't get to see everyday such as giant alien robots beating the shite out of each other. I don't care about a character's lifestory - I'm here for 2 - 2 and a half hours. If I want to be entertained by a long deep story with great character development, then that's what I have my television for. I watch House, True Blood, Boardwalk Empire, etc.for my character and story fixes; I go to movie theaters to see bad arse productions of stuff I don't see in my everyday life or on my tv set. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy a comedy in the multiplex every once and awhile, and I will see a movie such as Inglorious Basterds or even Paranormal Activity, but you really aren't getting the full bang for your buck if you are going to a movie theater to see a drama that really wouldn't change your experience if you watched it at home instead.

Jesus Christ you are a douchebag. Just because it is action oriented doesn't mean it has the excuse to be stupid. Inception and the Matrix are a prime examples. The first one wasn't bad or extremely stupid (although it certainly had its stupid moments), but the second one was..... holy shite. I mean somehow the government has managed to cover up a battle that took place in front of 10 million people. I mean really how fricking stupid does Michael Bay think we are? Wouldn't surprise me if Michael Bay did the same thing in the next one to where everyone doesn't know of the Transformers on the planet.

You are preaching to a movie board and you truly don't understand the magic of cinema. Simply stunning.

you sound like a snob.

If people have guilty pleasures like Transformers then so be it.

Not sure why people care so much what others like. I couldn't be more excited about Fast Five and I have no doubt it will be bad.

I'm also looking forward to Transformers 3 if for no other reason that no movie except this one will show giant robots from a childhood cartoon fighting each other.

stop being a snob

He really is. He acts like he runs this place. Step out of line and he goes all 1984 on that arse.

I don't feel guilty about it nor am I ashamed to admit that I enjoyed both movies. Do I give a flying frick if someone else thinks they are cinematic garbage? Not in the least damn bit. Film is entertainment to me, not art. Art is for galleries, not multiplexes.

I'll only see that if The Rock lays the smackdown on some candy asses. Can you let a brotha know if he does so?

This is a dark thread.

Figures it's a Monday.

I hate Mondays.

Got a case of em right now, too.

I'd rather watch another Fast & Furious movie

, then calling me out about not knowing what makes a good action movie is just stupid.

FYI I called u out for being an arrogant prick not for not knowing what makes a good action movie
