I still don't get how that movie was "confusing".

You do realise that Orci and Kurtzman who wrote the first two TF movies are executive producing TF: Prime right?

Let's keep those two hacks far away from ANYTHING TF related in the future. I dread the day they decide to stop being executive producers and take up writing TF:Prime.



Producing is different from writing and directing though, as long as they don't screw with the writing and directing its ok, all they need to do is keep the money flowing

I'm well aware of the differences, i'd just prefer to have neither of them anywhere near the franchise at all.

Not confusing. Just poorly written, full of lame jokes, annoying characters, and overused clichés.

I hated it myself. Everyone kept running their mouths and wouldn't listen, which was annoying. Then they had stupid stuff like the guys door getting broken. It was clear the door was broken and he needed a new one but he wouldn't listen to the locksmith. I could go on and on about why I hated that movie, but I don't want to derail the thread.

No one annoyed me. And what cleches? The script for all 3 movies seemed really unique. With every movie I saw this year, I knew exactly what everyone was going to day. I never felt that way with any of the TF movies.

Yeah but none of the other movies had bright shiney objects that distracted you so easily.

What I learned is that when Michael Bay makes a movie, you can pretty much count on him to use the exact same directing style and to focus on his same favourite motifs--heroism, romance, stuff blowing up--regardless of the movie's subject matter.

That's based strictly on what Michael Bay's actually done, on what he's created, by the way. I've bever paid any attention to what the guy says.

Even in the movieverse, Kickback remained unclear on the concept.
