So…um, Transmorphers man, yeah, looks kinda fun, probably gonna rent it when it comes out and…uh… stuff. (desperately trying to get back on topic after this ‘Transformers Vs Bale’ topic somehow migrated over from the Salvation post).

I don’t at all have a crush on Bale I think he is a very talented actor. That’s not a crush in any way and I don’t even like everything the guy is in. I’m very much a straight man though I will admit to having a huge man crush on Jensen Ackles.

Yes crap… As is his performance in tdk everybody does have different opinions… Your crush on bale though might be affecting yours…

I’m unsure if your being sarcastic or if you put the wrong name down. I’m a bale fan so yes there are plenty of Bale films I do like. If you were being sarcastic insert fake laughter here.

There are Bale films that I didn’t like though. Newsies being the worst. I also didn’t like Little Woman, The Secret Agent, Shaft, The Portrait of a Lady, Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, Reign of Fire was ok Bale did an excellent job in it, but the movie wasn’t very good, and I’m not there was a film I didn’t like as well. I really liked American Psycho, but I do think it’s very over rated by it’s huge cult following.

I accept that some people like crap I know we all have different opinions.

@ daniel f
Well i guess they were poor for you richie rich but yes i’d prefer those batman films before these ones. The difference between batman begins and tdk “TO ME” is simply that bale seemed like an extra to me… Someone in the background. Even though i dislike the other batman movies ( forever and batman & robin) at no point did it feel like batman was an extra. Saying that transformers was utter crap knowing that not everybody is ” daniel f” and we all have different opinions is what doesn’t make sense.

So you preferred the poor set designes of the Batman 89 and the poor story quality as well as the cheesy portal of Batman ? It may not of been the 60′s version, but it was still very cheesy.

Bale’s performance was nearly exactly the same in TDK as it was in Begins only with more emotion. He cried a little more and was a little more angry. So how can you like one and not the other? Doesn’t even make sense.

@daniel f
Actually its not about being a “hater”… I’m just going to balance out your hatred for transformers with how i personally feel about bales performance in tdk… Yes he was awesome in batman begins but tdk to me is only watchable more then once for ledgers performance. I fast foward through his scenes because bale doesnt even seem needed in the movie and batman in costume could’ve just been some random stunt double that could do a raspy voice. So again its not “hating” it’s a simple opinion… Plus my fav batman movies were the one with keaton not bale as i mentioned in an earlier thread.

@Leigh Scott

Totally have to give the Asylum credit for finding their niche. Have they ever aspired to be something more than what they are doing? Some of their stuff is utter nonsense but they have alot of scripts that just need the right amount of massaging to work.

What is your production company up to now?

By: Daniel F

Daniel F — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 22:04:37 +0000

jago now I know your just a hater lol by saying his TDK performance was bad. Maybe some didn’t think it was amazing, but to say it was bad is just clearly bashing for no other reason to bash. That’s like me saying Transformers had bad special effects. It clearly didn’t. I can admit good things about Transformers no matter how much I hated it. The film had great special effects. Shia Labuff while being a bit over rated id dependable enough to always put on a decent performance, and Megan Fox is hot. Oh and it made a lot of money.

@Paul Young
Thanks for the retraction

I left the Asylum in late 2007 to set up my own production company. It wasn’t a totally happy parting of ways. I still have a lot of respect and personal affection for those guys. When you consider the number of companies and producers that go out of business and loose millions of dollars every year you have to give them a little credit for finding something that works. They also give a lot of young people their first jobs and they really foster hard work and reward loyalty. If anything, the big guys with the big bank accounts and the freedom to be more original should receive the venom.

And thanks for the note about the film being underfunded. Too true. I wonder how it would turn out if you handed out the script for TRANSMORPHERS and the script for TRANSFORMERS and asked film fans which script should be made for $200 million?

Tongue in cheek…I sure hope so…otherwise why you wouldn’t reference Bruce with B5 LOL. Are the readers getting so young they think B5 is a vitamin now?

There a place for these films in the world. It gives people a chance to break into the business that wouldn’t normally get it. Add it produces jobs. That’s always a plus.

@John “Kahless” Taylor

These movies don’t really steal anything from others. They just take the same idea and run in a different direction with it, storylines, character and names are totally different. Think of it like Deep Impact and Armageddon. Their entire company is built on the idea that they’re bound to make sales to people who confuse their movies with the others because the names are similar and the cover art looks like it would fit.

It, of course, also makes it’s money off of stupidly moronic “cult” idiots (like me) who buy them for the laugh factor.

I watch all these films on the Sci-Fi channel. They are aweful but so fun to watch. That’s how they make their money back. They release them as DVD rentals, they are probably distributed internationally, and cable networks like Sci-Fi broadcast them. Remember the production values are so bad that they probably cost very little to make and therefore very cheap to distribute. Look at all the people in this thread who have seen them. They seem to get around.

I can’t see how these people dodged litigation; lawyers live for suing people.

On the topic of Bale and Transformers; while I did enjoy Terminator Salvation, it had its problems but I wouldn’t say Bale’s acting was one of them. I’ve seen Bale in many films and he has talent. I blame McG for his wooden performance in this one.

Transformers had great special effects and some great action, but the acting and plot was horrible. To be honest, I have a hard time watching it again because of the bad acting and stupid humor. These are just my opinions. I know people who loved Norbert but I would watch Battlefield Earth before I watched that flim..I mean, film.

as is bales performance in terminator salvation… i think the kid that played kyle reese could’ve done a better connor. If the first transformers played in the theater right now i’d rather watch that then that terminator salvation… bale with his batman voice made me dislike the whole franchise… his performance was terrible… “its as simple as that”.

P.S. i believe he sucked in tdk as well.. had it not been for the joker carrying him throughout the whole movie.
