He listened to what people complained about in the first one so he'll probably do the same about RotF. And there's no need to act like some oppressed minority, nobody is going to ban you for thinking differently.
I know. And I'm also cognizant of my having used that exact phrase. It's just that everyone feels the need to "us against the world" when it comes to these movies. Like they make $400 million but everyone hates them and constantly complains about them.....I'm not sure how $400 million makes for the existence of like, everyone being aligned against ROTF fans....not even on Seibertron are fans of the movies in the minority. But everyone has a slant and an agenda, and that's why there's never any resolution or peaceable consensus. But, whatever makes people happy really. I don't ever recall blowing things out of proportion and talking about how these movies ruined my life, but since I'm not as big a fan as some people are, it's like I'm a blight on the fandom. All in all, I still maintain the belief that if we were all sitting down in a room and talking the way human beings were designed to converse and not interpret text without any other indicators, most of the ROTF arguements never would have happened.
As for blowing the bad comedy out of proportion, I respectfully disagree. The 'comedy' is really, really lame, and for me, and I was only speaking for myself personally in my previous post as well, it is a great inhibitor of movie enjoyment. People may find that unfair or whatever, but it's the way I feel about the movie. The movie wasn't intended to be a comedy, and the bad humor it does have is so forced into it, and it isn't funny, which is sort of the purpose that comedy is supposed to serve.
"Dorky comedy" is a subjective thing, and so if Bay or the writers or anyone thinks the comedy of ROTF was not dorky, then another movie filled with those same jokes indeed will not have dorky comedy.
I really do find the comedy that bad, and freedom being the right of all sentient beings (always cool when you can work in some source material
) I don't really feel that I'm wrong somehow for having that opinion. I never called anyone names or anything for liking it, so I don't think I'm being terribly unfair.
Honestly I think one of the problems is that both sides of the issue are tired of the movies being a divisive point and are both hoping to somehow deliver the stroke that puts them on top of the arguement. It's been pretty clear that there's only room somehow for air tight reasons as to justify why one likes or dislikes the movies, like it really is an out-cooling contest, and neither side accepts the others'. So, people who just kind of didn't like it, like me, get branded as fanatical haters just as fans get branded as fanatics as well. The debate on both sides is always "You're entitled to you own opinion.....but whatever opinion you've given is not acceptible to me." I don't know, I didn't love the movie, but I saw it in the theatre and I bought it, so I''ve supported it twice, and I'm part of the $400 million theatrical run and the however much its made on rentals and sales. That doesn't make me special, but it should enable me to talk about the movie.
