So don't start getting on YOUR high horse because if you accuse some of us of that, you'll definitely get called on it yourself. |
Huge difference Chap. I am not blasting people for not liking the movie. I could care less if people don't agree with me but some of you can't stand the fact that other people might have enjoyed this movie. So comparing my horse to yours is like comparing a pony to a Clydesdale. Not everyone's criteria is the same for being entertained (which was the point of the last post if you read between the lines). Get over it people and let those that are flocking to the movie bask in the mindless fun that is Transformers 2.
P.S. Look at the bright side. Bay and the writers have both stated they are done with Transformers. This movie is going to make so much cake that there will be another. That means new director and new writers. Maybe you will get what you want for the next one. If there is a movie god then I will get the same outcome for the Terminator franchise and get McG and his hacks off of that franchise.

Thank goodness for the explosions to keep me awake.
At least you heteros had Megan Fox to fixate on. I would imagine if they had replaced her with someone unattractive, all of you that liked the movie would have hated it.

This made me laugh.

I think everyone missed how intricate the story really was. I felt the movie was about our experiences in the Middle East. The army was useless against the Decepticons and represents our army being engaged in a futile effort against an enemy that transforms itself. Eventually, the struggle will be resolved by a hero that rides in a '77 Camaro.
Megan Fox represents all they hate about us...freedom and a plump set of lips.
Shia LaBouef....nothing really he is just annoying. |

Actually the movie showed that the Autobots needed the help of the US Army. We were the ones who shot the Decepticon off the pyramid. We were able to hold off other decepticons so Sam could get the key thing to revive Optimus. |

Ok - this bugged the hell out of me -the geography was all wrong. the pyramids are no where NEAR Jordan - the two locations are hundreds of miles apart (not four). No pyramids on the Sinai. Israel was wiped off the map.
I realize 99% of the filmgoers don't realize this, but this type of discontituty drives me up a wall.

We all laughed when they asked the Jordanians for help.

Yup - in that area, who you going to ask for help - the Jordanians, or the Israelies?
Bay is still probably stung by the Arab World reaction to Armaggedon - scenes showing Israeli and Arab fighter jets working together were cut from showings accross the Middle East.

The Jordanians well dont' want to give it away but did they actuallly do anything?
It was a most comical moment as they "arrived".
Like a fine wine, the absurdities start to grow on you, I am truly in awe, if you were trying for a perfect pile of crap, this guy designed it and made money out his butt with it.
Well played, well played.

People who want more realism or whatever in a movie about talking robot creatures from outer space crack me up.

You, like most of the fans of this movie, are completely missing the point of what the rest of us are saying.
