Boring? What the hell movie where you watching?


Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Bad acting, barely there plot, lots of explosions, buildings faling over, CGI robots fighting. I don't find explosions and action just for the sake of explosions and action entertaining. There has to be something more to the movie than that, and that's not something Michael Bay is capable of.

There was nothing that engaged my brain. Therefore, nothing that entertained me. Therefore, it was boring. I actually dozed off at a couple of points, and when I was shaken awake I didn't see any reason to believe I'd missed anything.

Because they have dreads. That means they're able to run fast. :P

Would you care to explain why exactly people with dreadlocks are, in your opinion, inherently fast runners?

if you foudn it boring you found it boring, sly has no right to question that. the 20 minutes slipping and sliding in the building got dull quick. the endless comedy scenes got boring quick

anyway i couldnt care less about recycled scenes, i will bash bay when aggrieved but this doesnt really bother me much at all.

I would hate to meet someone whose enjoyment was affected by this

While watching Revenge of the Fallen with the commentary, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci point out they reused footage from Eagle Eye and Mission: Impossible III around the 1 hour & 49 minute mark.

Exactly, WTF IS WITH THAT? So retarded. Such little focus on the bots, which is why I can only name like 3 scenes I actually dug. lets see:

(1) Highway scene with BB transforming to and from bot mode while protecting sam.
(2) Laserbeak and the rest of the Decepticons in the field (mostly coz laserbeak kills an earth bird) :CON:
(3) Mexican Standoff with Ironhide and Sideswipe and Decepticon Drones.
+ Megatron trashing the Abraham lincoln statue and then a buncha even shorter scenes like the intro scene on Cybertron, the Decepticon attack crafts shooting down drones, and the bot in the street with 4 legs shooting humans... Yea, that about covers the movies only good parts, haha.

Boring? What the hell movie where you watching?


Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Bad acting, barely there plot,


It had better acting than the first 2. And there definitely was a plot. If there was no plot, there would be no movie.

I never said there was no plot, I said it was barely there. If there was more than that, I must have slept through it, which doesn't say much for the movie,

And, incidentally, it is possible to make a movie without a plot. I've seen a couple of them. They weren't good either.

Agree, there's no plot...unless someone told the vaguely "history" is a plot...
Victory depends on everyone point of view.

:roll:
The plot is that Megatron wants to use Sentinel and the space bridge to bring cybertron to earth to use human labour to fix it. Seriously, its the most idiotic punchline to a joke. Human labour to fix cybertron? :HEADHURTS: and then only part of Cybertron shows up being HUGE compared to earth...

Maybe if Megatron said he wanted to transport Decepticons to earth to kill the Autobots/gather energon to aid in rebuilding Cybertron, that'd make more sense.
