I didnt realize someone calling themselves flamestrike could be so sensitive, lol

You’re pushing it.

Very simply, we just need you to stop being so confrontational – we have no problems with your opinions.

As for accusations, I didn’t call you a liar, you misunderstood what was written and you’re taking it out of context. If you have the time, check back and read how harsh all of your comments were in that thread.

Get lost.

Mr, Keyes, given our previous run-ins, and comments I’ve made during them, you should know I’m not about to take any suggestions you make. You lost any possibility of of that happening when you accused me of lying.

As for the “dry humor,” that’s not how kyyle23’s comments translate. They translate to “Yeah, sure, we’ve heard it before, now shut the (bleep) up.” If that’s how people on here feel, then ban me. Or ask me to leave. Either one will get rid of me, and I’ve been expecting it for some time now.

Otherwise, I’ll continue to voice my opinions, brutally honest though they may be, provide clarification on issues I know about, and correct people when they misstate my opinions for me.

As for your “advice,” I am relaxed.

Ya it was a joke, sarcasm. Even in one of my articles, I bashed some trailer then followed up by saying “now i’ll tell you how I really feel”. It’s just dry humour on a movie site…about movies, relax yourself.

No it wasn’t. It wasn’t even remotely funny.

I have read some of your musings about Transformers, it was just a joke

Well, when it comes to comments like that, telling you how I really feel would probably get me banned from this site, and might wind up drawing the attention of legal authorities.

Yeah, that describes me.

“was violently opposed to all things Transformers because it didn’t satisfy the fantasy he had in his head of what he remembers about childhood Transformers”

This, however, does not even come close to describing me or the others I know who hated Bayformers.

Now, speaking only for myself, I have no illusions about the original cartoon. I also know about the original comics, American and British, several of the Japanese cartoons, the 7 cartoons that came after the original cartoon series, the current comic series from IDW, the comics series from the now defunct Dreamwave comics, and a few lesser known comic and book series. I am under no illusions about any of them either. They all have their cringe inducing moments, but they also have their stellar moments, moments when they could easily stand alongside more adult science fiction stories. They all have episodes that had better stories, better character development and better writing and acting than Bayformers did.

Michael Bay and his team promised the most realistic take, most adult on Transformers ever. They talked in such a way that the effectively promised that they would make a movie that would be better than anything that had been done with Transformers before, a movie that would take the best of what had been done to date, and leave behind the worst.

What we got was exactly the opposite. No character development. Characters who were so far from the portrayals that were promised that they might as well have been from a completely different series altogether. A story that was so badly written and acted that I didn’t care about any of the characters. A story that was so inconsistent with itself, or the reality they promised, that I couldn’t keep up with the sheer number of mistakes they made. Combine that with the fact that it was impossible to tell who was who in the fight scenes, much less what anyone was doing, and you wind up with a movie that made me feel like I was being, literally, tortured.

My hatred has nothing to do with it not living up to a fantasy of what the original cartoon was, it has more to do with being a bad movie. My hatred has nothing to do with it not being a remake or the fact that things were changed to better fit the times, it was to do with the movie not being entertaining and the fact that I felt like I was ripped off.

Of course, my personal experiences with members of the production team didn’t help my opinion, but that’s another matter completely.

As for the poster, it’s as ugly as the rest of the Bayformers. The production team sure loves that horror-movie reject look.

LOL, actually I *could* have enhanced it that much but I thought it would take too much away from the look of the actual poster, which was the point of the post – to show the poster.
