Max and I decided to spend the afternoon at the movies seeing the new Transformers movie. The clock says it was 3 hours, and yet somehow it was 12 hours of my life I will never get back.
I hate to wish death on anyone, but really… for the good of humanity I think we need to drop a nuke on Michael Bay.
On a good note, for whoever tried to defend the second Transformers movie when I made fun of it the other day. Well, I now agree with you. It was not the worst movie of all time.
Of all the movie franchises how did society allow Michael Bay to make 4 of these movies .
The National Post here opened their review of the movie this way:
“Geographers should find the shallowest, narrowest, least picturesque cove on Earth and rename it Michael Bay.”
It would be hard to top the unfunny, racist, black stereotype auto bots from the 2nd movie. Did he manage to bungle it worse than that?
I mean. I like a good bad movie. I liked Sucker Punch. This was just without merit in all ways.
That sucks.
Ill wait for HBO
The franchise was dead on arrival
Neither of those is the worst movie you’ve ever seen. I was there.
But I do like the bad boys movies
Peter: they replaced them with an unfunny, racist Asian stereotype autobot.
Sean: yep. I loved both bad boys movies. And a stopped clock is right twice a day.
Max: this movie could in fact be in Flesh Gordon 2 territory. I mean, some if the stuff in Flesh Gordon 2 that I hated some people might actually find funny.
Don’t make me remind you of things that were in that movie.
Seriously, I’m still trying to block them out myself
I was thinking of it when I wrote that comment. I actually said them and then erased them.
Well, thank you
I’m just saying: some people have really crappy senses if humor (see what I did there) and might enjoy that movie. Whereas you yourself, a diehard fanboy admitted that there was nothing in TF4 you could defend.
I mean, it was a fucking Transformers movie without transforming!
There were a couple things I can defend! The movie as a whole is just not one of them.
Oooh! I know! “At least it wasn’t 4 hours”
well, I’m not sure about that one…it certainly felt like four hours…i think they may have invented some sort of time-warping technology for which, to be honest, they should probably win an academy award if not a nobel
It felt like 12. But you know. If you’re going to invent something like that and use it for evil, the Nobel people tend to look down on it.
it’s still an impressive technical achievement
You’d think that if he was able to force 12 hours if film into 3 hours of screen time, he could have found room for more than 17 seconds of plot and character development.
why would you think that?
So did you guys like it or not? (snort)
It just seems like in 3 hours of movie, even without an additional 9 hours of boredom shoehorned in, 2 or 3 minutes of plot would have to happen just on accident.
i’m just so sorry you guys… to clean palate, please apply one serving of Lucky Number Slevin followed by one serving of Grand Budapest Hotel. Rinse off and then get some sleep. Remember: Tomorrow is a new day.
The googly eyes broke me in the theater.
