Sharknado received positive reviews. It currently has an 82% "fresh" score at Rotten Tomatoes.
That's why I have so little respect for movie reviewers.
The difference between Sharknado and Transformers is that Sharknado is so bad it goes all the way round to being good.

Yeah, Sharknado knows that it's being stupid and just runs with it. The TF movies treat themselves like serious business.DeadCaL wrote:noctorro wrote:Offtopic:

See I found Sharknado so bad it was terrible
are good.
As for the movie being successful if it was kiddie? Would anyone complain at a Rescue Bots movie? The TF multiverse can be purposed for any market, getting people to like them is a different matter. Some people seem to run at the mere mention of a kiddie movie. Wreck it Ralph is a kiddie movie
I'm personally wanting Hasbro to get a studio to make straight to DVD animations based of comic stories, an More than Meets the Eye adaptation? Yes please

Eh, I guess a more fitting comparison would be Sharknado to ROTF.chivesbot20 wrote:Wow. Sharknado compared to AOE. Thats like saying Barbie in a mermaid tale 2 compared to the transformers the movie.

I pre-ordered the Amazon set with the statue...that statue is awesome regardless and I will pay a little more for it despite my problems with the movie as a whole. I'm glad to see the full release coming so quickly as a low quality release now with a special edition release during holiday season would just be stupid.

I'm sorry but this has to be the most ridiculous statement of all Seibertron history.

It sounds like you hated the movie? Why would you buy it or pay more for the cooler editions? I only paid $5 for Pacific Rim blu ray because I wasn't a big fan of it

Sub Prime,
I didn't completely hate the movie. I'm just getting a little tired of Bay's excessive camera angles, fast shot changes, and explosions. I do not have a huge sound system or anything like that...just a sound bar. I think the movie will be better on a small screen. I may change my mind and get a cheaper version as you said. If the statue was available by itself I would probably just do that. Funny you mentioned Pacific Rim. I kind of liked the movie and still paid $22 bucks for it when it came out...wish I had waited and got that one for $5 like you did. To each their own I guess. Maybe I have just talked myself out of the statue as my local TRU gave me the large Optimus riding Grimlock Display when they were done with it...no idea where I'm going to put that monster of a section yet...the electronics are still intact even

That makes sense. I will agree that the theatre version had its issues.
1. I could barely understand some things being said.
2. Bay's styles is better on a smaller screen and I have a "47
3. With a Blu-Ray/DVD I can skip foward some parts I barely cared for especially with Transformers ROTF(I hated most human scenes)
