But as far as story and acting go, Dawn is vastly superior.

I've seen reviews of Red Giest and nothing is in common with Deszaurs unless it's very well hidden.
What? They are literally the exact same toy, only with different decos.
Sabrblade, you got the wrong Geist here. What you're thinking of is Dino Geist, while the unrelated Red Geist appeared two series later, as a piloted mech even.
Dino Geist is the leader of the Geisters, while Red Geist is from a different series, but is a redeco of Deszaras, correct?
So what I goofed on was the "leader" bit, while getting the rest of stuff correct, right?

Well, I don't care, how about that.
I greatly enjoyed watching AOE today for the second time.
Probably will watch it a third time like I did DOTM.
Vastly superior (in your eyes by the way) doesn't mean everyone will enjoy that movie way more.
I like Transformers, I like robots with swords and shields. If I have to give grades, then intelligent apes get a 4, maybe 6 on the interest scale. And robots and demons get 10, aliens a 9.
So an ape movie can be a better quality piece of cinema, I'm still going to enjoy Transformers way more.
//continues rant
I'm kind of sick and tired about people screaming that PLOT needs to be super complex and filled with ethic dilemma's etc. And if you have robots or aliens battling each other in cool choreographed scenes that's all totally worth rubbish. Because the plot is thin as paper.
So, no one cares about the character design, or the animation?
I had a guy at the office saying Pacific Rim was a total waste of time and bandwith (the guy never pays for movies because it's not worth his money... don't get me started on that one).
However, some Godzilla movie from the early 2000's with dudes in costumes with cheesy special effects was WAY BETTER than Pacific Rim, because the plot was as thick as 4 stacked A4 papers.
Dafuq?
Not saying AOE is perfect, I still have a hard time accepting the whole flying molecules thing, I had that also with Iron Man 3. And also Steve Jobs's character change because the first funny guy was killed. Still thank the gods there waren't any toilet/sex jokes this time.
Still it was an awesome movie, I really started to hate humans first time I saw the Ratchet scene. Loved how Prime had to smack Grimlock's respect out of him. Hound was amazing.
It should make a lot of money, I want the two headed Shockwave thing as a voyager

True, though, how many casual moviegoers or fans already pleased with the movies as they are would be willing to go after the hole-filling comics anyway?Burn wrote:Sabrblade wrote:We need John Barber to patch things up for us, but there aren't any more movie comics coming at the moment, so we're up the creek on that for now.
Problem with that though is only the fans are going to go out and read those comics.
Casual fans and movie going public don't read them so they don't get things tied together.
Would be better to just find a writer who keeps a story together, which Kruger SHOULD be doing given his past work.

Sub-Prime wrote:I read where a critic who didn't like the new Dawn Of The Planet of The APES movie said it had plot holes in it. It could just be that the critic can't put certain things together and I feel the same way about the people screaming an Incoherent plot in TF4. Ehren Kruger isn't perfect but a lot of so called plot holes in TF4 is about common sense.
How can Optimus fly? Optimus is known to gain upgrades especially when he finds mystical objects. In the movie the sword did something to Optimus body. In a scene with Grimlock rampaging Hong Kong, Optimus is seen flying onto a building and then jumping back on Grimlock. Bumblebee gain upgrades in this movie also. He never had a harpoon. But is that a plot hole? More like common sense if you are familiar with Transformers in general.
How did Optimus turn into a truck that's different in color? I think it's because Optimus's transformation/scanning system remembers the old truck paint work. It's not hard to comprehend when Cybertronians are a technologically advance race.

It scored lower than ROTF on Rotten Tomatoes, the guys who only like The Godfather II and Amelie.
Why must that always be mentioned in the wikipedia page? 17% rating for me means that it's even more worthless than a softcore lesbian 1000 dollar budget movie you'd have playing on the background while eating lunch.
If AOE is 17%, what rating is Battlefield Earth? Or SS Doomtrooper? Or these low budget Sy Fy movies that keep coming out on blue ray in my country? A -57% rating on Rotten tomatoes?
Can't wait for new movie generation figure waves, such awesomeness
