I like transformers and I like Michael Bay. Im just sick of whiners who go out of there way to nit pick films because its a certain director. Everyones allowed to have an opinion but when its forced on by pressure from ‘critics’ (biggest farse of all) it gets ridiculous. To all of those reading this please go and see the film for yourself never listen to reviews and cinema trolls because its always down to you in the end.

I’m simply relating my experience with his movies. He is the only director who has every movie he’s ever made in my insomnia cure collection.

I appreciate his movies for that reason alone.

Wow ok I’m a Bay basher. I really can’t stand any of his movies Transformers being his worst probably, but even I wouldn’t call his movies boring. They suck horrible plots bad comedy cheesy dialog and a lack of anything that is even close to meaning depth or emotion, but not boring. In fact not being boring is the only thing Bay is good at. Maybe repetitive explosion after explosion after explosion after gun shot after explosion.

Personally, I probably won’t see this one until it comes out on DVD. Then it will take up shelf space beside the other Michael Bay movies, in the special collection I use for battling insomnia.

The man makes the most boring movies I have ever seen, and I have never managed to see more than the first 15-20 minutes of one before I fall asleep. They’re better than Ambien.

Pirates is one of the few movies in my life where I stopped watching toward the end. Couldn’t be bothered to see how it finished. I stuck with it as long as I could.
Haven’t seen the sequels either.

When Transformers came out I made a point of telling people not to get it for me on my birthday. I had this horrible idea that someone would present me with the DVD and then I’d have to pretend to be grateful.

Unless I hear rave reviews on this one, I won’t go near it.

To be honest I kind of have a special place in my heart for disney films, but I hated pirates so much. For me it’s right up there with Transformers. I think that films like these two are actually so bad that they literally have a negative effect on society. Obviously I’m exaggerating and joking… Sort of. I definitely thought they were both very terrible. Depp has never impressed me in a film though it looks like he might in Public Enemies. He seems to play his part like an actual person which I’ve never seen him do before.

Shamose I disagree about Linkin Park. I enjoy their their sound and not all of their songs have a rap blend to them. I’m more in to lyrics than anything else when it comes to music and I love their lyrics alot. Though I don’t like the songs that get attached to movies that often, but the rest is very well written.

Aside from the bad camera angles and horrible “jokes” the first one wasnt really that bad. While I do agree t could have been alot better by focusing on the robots (especially the decepticons) at the end of the day, movies are not great. Compacting an intriguing and stimulating story into 2hours is hard work and many writers are not up to the task…give me a tv show over a movie any day

this is especially true for movies based on comics with decades of back story at the end of the day it s going to disappoint many of the fans of the original source material. While I didnt HATE the first one i didn’t love it. but i accepted it for what it is an adaptation of something I grew up loving and still watch now (ie the cartoons…more so beast wars)

See the movie all, have a mindless 2hours and enjoy the explosions and seeing a life like robot turn into a car or a plane, and just accept it as one mans adaptation

my only hope is that starscream gets a bigger role

PS linkin park are in no way good… they are manufactured commercial crappy blend of rap and soft metal (whoever decided that was the new cool should suffer the same fate many people on here believe michael bay should suffer) and don’t even write their own music… no offense to anyone but to call them a band is an insult to the entire music industry

Daniel, I was very impressed that Disney actually pulled off a compelling story based on one of their amusement park rides. Johnny Depp sold me in the first scene where his boat sinks as he jumps up on the dock. I thought the entire film was pretty damn creative and original,,, that’s something that Disney usually sucks at…
The other films lacked a sense of heart (no pun intended) and were CGI orgasims…

For me it’s not even worth a 2.99 hell not even worth watching at a friends house for free or an illegal download for that matter. I’d rather just remember the first one and not even bother with the second. At the end of the day it’s not gonna be much different from the first sequels rarely are. Also at the end of the day it’s Bay directing it. The guys best movies were only mediocre.

I thought Pirates one was the very definition of pre teen love film. Tweens every where would go crazy for a preview for that film.

Trans2 is worth a look on dvd used (for $2.99) way down the line,,,

I thought the first Pirates was pretty good… The third one, wow that was crap!

I’m not hyped to see it and not a fan of the first one. I have enjoyed some of Bay’s film. But alas I am not a Shia LaSkunk fan. I still haven’t forgiven Spielberg for shoehorning him in the last Indy film and almost every movie he has put his mits on lately.

Better than me 790 I honest to god will not see it. I’ve seen the first one and there is no need to watch a crappy sequal to a crappy movie. I thought Pirates one was crap to and didn’t bother to watch the sequels.

I actually kind of liked Get Smart by the way. It was amazing, but very entertaining there was some smart humor in it in certain spots. The end was the only part I didn’t like all that much.

Rob, yeah I prob will pick up the dvd used in about a year or so,,, used as in $3.99 or less.

I recently found myself grabbing “Get Smart” on dvd used last week for $2.99 (2 disc special edition) btw. I swore I’d never watch that obamanation and so far its still on the shelf waiting in line behind about 60 other movies. Lol

@ 790,

As a moviegoer, I’m sure you’ll be seeing this eventually (if not, in theaters) as it will be the one of the biggest movies and most talked about of the year – It’s okay, you can admit it

Just kidding dude, but seriously, we’ll talk about it opening weekend

The emotion I have toward Bay and Transformers isn’t hate its apathy.

The film does nothing for me. Won’t be seeing this in the theatres or on dvd. Just don’t care for it.
Not a fan of Lykin park either.

[...] that is only be available on the IMAX prints. For Transformers 2, that content comes in the form of several sequences that were shot in hi-resolution “true IMAX”; for Half-Blood Prince, twelve minutes of 3D footage. This kind of exclusive content provides great [...]

I can understand why some people didn’t like the first one, but I can honestly say I actually enjoyed it. It was not the greatest movie ever made, but I had fun watching it and that is the point. I’m looking forward to seeing this and might make the 1/2 hour trek to see it in IMAX.

BTW, Linkin Park SUCKS. All that rap metal cr*p SUCKS.
