Should be another good workout for the sub

freaking awesome...

When will this god awful franchise end? Please! After seeing Transformers 2 (free screening at work), I felt dumber for having seen it. I've seen porno movies with more depth of character.

Michael Bay is the bizzaro Midas - everything he touches turns to dookie.

Could you please be more specific? I l-o-v-e porn with depth of character!

You are so right. Didn’t care much for the first one and the second one totally sucked. Only now I’m twice as dumb because I had to see the second one two times. Made the mistake of watching it myself. Then my father and sister who I let pick a movie to watch about once a month just had to watch that one. Tried to talk them out of it. After seeing it they said they will listen next time I try to talk them out of watching something.

Who watches these movies for a plot anyway? Its all about the special effects and sound... That is why I like the Transformer movies. Just like I am dying to see Tron... in 3D!!! Special effects. I don't expect much of a plot. There are plenty of other movies out there with deep plots that are awesome too, but usually they don't have the sci-fi eye (and ear) candy.

Lots of people watch movies for plot. I like special effects, too, but if that's all you can point to as a reason to watch a movie, then it's a bad movie. If you're ok with moviemakers polishing turds with flashes and booms, and support them with your wallet, then I guess you'll continue to be impressed by the slide toward more formulaic mass-market entertainment churned out by Hollywood.

They should make Polished Turds the Revenge in 3D.

With Smell-O-Vision...

Best. Movie. Ever.

For it to be entertaining and engaging you have to CARE if any of the characters are in danger. That's why Jaws worked, and Jurasic Park didn't. In Jaws you feared the shark. In Jurasic Park, you cheered for the T-Rex. Yawn.

2.5 hours of explosions and I was nodding off. An explosion just for the sake of an explosion is not exciting.

Me likes?

Awful, awful movie. Friends dragged me to it. Never again.
It's not even a good action movie, the effects suck, and it just looks so bad. Fight scenes all looked like a multicolour garbage pile vomited on screen. A total mess.

Agreed. The true art in movie making is making you care about said explosion.

Too many times I find myself watching some movies, and despite all the flashy action, I'm bored.

Stop beating around the bush and tell us how you really felt about it.

I cheer for the T-Rex in anything that Jeffrey Goldblum is in. I just keep hoping one will pop into the scene and kill him.

Of course, JP1 was light years better than JP3...

But both far better than JP2.

Ha ha, but JP is the most entertaining of all!

Why, thank you!!! (bows)

Transform! Transform!


*claps*

JP? Can you...ummmm.. ::kicks dirt with toe:: maybe introduce us to Megan Fox?

Or maybe at least go for a ride in the Bumblebee?

I'd rather be introduced to the bumblebee and go for a .....

JP's transforming noise just sounds like he's farting. . .and then he's still JP at the end.



Only with the windows open.

I call it "venting plasma", heh heh ...

Sean, I gotta tell you, your posts always make me laugh.

I know only a little of that is that I read them in a South Park voice.

I like the Transformers Movies.... (Silently sobbing).

JP was really bummed that I didn't actually look exactly like my South Park avatar.




I'm a little taller.

You are right on the mark. Why can't we have eye/ear candy AND a plot! I watch more plot filled movies than anything else, but to me a movie like this is just a big home theater demo. Who looks for plots in demo material? It is all about the whooshing surround, and the vibrant colors, etc, etc, etc. I put Transformers into that category. A lot of bits and pieces that look (in my opinion) and sound great, but together can still be a bit if a mish/mash of things. Is that what they call a "popcorn flick?"

You know what would be worse? Putting a Michael Bay action/explosion fest together with a John Woo slow-mo, main characters never get hit despite being the best shots in the world, combination... Then again, there are some slow-mo scenes in these movies now that I think about it.

How about we set off a EMP and stop them all!

Personally I enjoyed the 1st one (even the plot). The 2nd, I didn't like the story but enjoyed the A/V
