Not in alot of our opinions. It was a movie that was written that did not really care all that much for the source material. Add to that a director who's been almost downright snotty in regards to both the fans and that source material.
Bad mix. And in our eyes, bad result.
NO movie is going to be perfect. Every flick ever made has had their fair share of issues. To expect otherwise is simply unfair.
There's more "unfairness" that went on with the people who were making this movie the way they wanted it, with so very little concern for input from those who could've made it stellar.
I guess what I am saying is that it is better to be constructive than destructive. We all want a sequel don't we?
NO.How do you expect to get it when the first movie is being ripped to shreds by those who are fans of TF's?
Alot of us don't want it. We just want this first poop to be flushed and gone ASAP.
The movie is making money, it may be a box office smasher by the end of the weekend. Support the movie, don't trash it.
No, that would be supporting more stuff like this. Great, the media barrage of advertising has done it's magic and brought everyone a profit. Cool. Now let's get back to the Transformers, not "The Day the CGI Shardbots Saved the Earth".
It truly amazes me how difficult, if not impossible it is to satisfy people. I seriously doubt that any of the negative folks could possibly do a better job than Bay and Spielberg. You may think you can, but it's a lot different when you're actually sitting in that director's chair, and not that cushy office chair infront of a computer screen online.
150 million as a budget? 25 years of Transformers knowledge? Let me at that puppy.
Those guys put all their hearts and talent into that movie,
No.
and the end product turned out to be rather excellent, despite the trivial flaws.
No.
Be happy we got a movie that is also so well recieved with general audiences.
Oftentimes, the public turns CRAP into something popular when it's shoved down their throats enough.
Paris Hilton? Did she REALLY deserve to be on the headlines of every media outlet, JUST because she's rich and banged someone on video?
No. She got popular because people, sadly, are sheep. Easily controllable.
Be supportive of a sequel by supporting THIS movie.
Holy crap, I can't believe some of the whining I read here. No offense, but come on. I like you guys lots, but sometimes, things get a little too out of hand.
This works both ways. It's exactly what I was thinking of the multitude of premiere night threads along the lines of "OMG, I literally SPLOOGED myself on this ROCK HARD MOVIE!!!".
Felt like a bunch of movie execs had hired a pack of viral marketers or something lol.
This movie was really excellent. Not the best, but rather really, really good. VERY good.
It was Independence Day, with the CGI just being used in a DIFFFERENT kind of over-the-top way.
(ID4 made alot of money too, but also sucked ass).
Basically, look at the glass as half full, not half empty. It's also healthier.
i don't like what's in the glass. And it's not water.
Better if left empty, for fear someone may come by and fill it back up.
