I maintain the pod race sequence from Episode I is one of the coolest things every put to film. Would love to watch that 10 minutes in an IMAX with volume up to 11. Same could be said of the freeway chase sequence from Reloaded.

Both of these sequences kick arse, but they could have done much better and different methods to get to them.

Saw Avatar 3 times in IMAX and loved every second of it - as others have said the "experience" just doesn't carry over to the small screen, though I can still watch it all the way through about once a year. Enjoy all 3 Transformers while being fully aware of how terrible the plot and dialog are. I feel bad for people who can't turn off the internal Ebert and enjoy craptastic popcorn movies for what they are.

Honestly you should feel bad for us in some ways. I wish I could enjoy Transformers like the general populace.... but its just too insulting and stupid for me as someone who knows alot about film, character development, and plot structure. Films that don't do those two things right anger me.

I haven't seen anyone talk about Tron Legacy, but I feel safe in assuming it was loathed on here. Loved it - especially with the Daft Punk score. The build up to the light-bike scene had my hair standing on end by the time it really got going; just great fun.

Not particularly. Its really an overly hated film for no real reason. Honestly its just a great extended music video. I very much enjoyed Tron Legacy and thought it was the perfect sequel to TRON.

Oh God, Roland Emmerich. Sorry, but Roland Emmerich makes Michael Bay look like Christopher Nolan. At least Michael Bay tries to make it as realistic as possible by having actual explosions and stunts whenever possible. Emmerich just doesn't give a shite though. Everything in his films is from a computer. 10,000 BC is just the most horribly made film that it makes me want to gouge out my eyes.
