Odium, I call bullshit on your review. The robots were in the movie more than the human characters. In fact I'm pretty sure you saw the first Decepticon about 9 minutes into the movie.
You seem to have expected a remake of the cartoon movie which, frankly, was kind of stupid of you.
The last movie you saw
I don't think it was shit. And about $453603650 in ticket sales also disagree with you.Grudge wrote:So just because "it's for kids" it's alright that it's shit?
Although I do agree with you that childrens movies recently have been rather abysmal, but E.T and The Goonies disagree with you.
I can't figure out what the fuck Spielberg was doing producing this Transformers turd.
To you, no. But to other people, yeah it does.Grudge wrote:Kenny G sells a lot of albums too, but that doesn't mean his music is any good.
Look, it's fine that you didn't like it. Different strokes for different folks. I'm just saying that saying the movie was "shit" is clearly off-base. It was a good movie, you just didn't like it.

The robots were in it MORE? lol, ok mate. Have YOU seen the film?
This is fact. It earned more than the first and second, but it was the weakest of the three.Captain Mazda wrote:I don't think you could use that to prove your point, Jackal. Spider Man 3 made $888,435,192 worldwide, but try and convince me that it's not one of the worst movies in cinematic history.
Ah, you're probably right. I don't think rating it R would make a very huge impact on toy sales for the reason that boys of any age have a fascination with robots blowing shit up and making it gory will only add to the cool factor - but i can't deny your avarage mom and dad won't let little Henry have a toy that promotes gratuitous violence. So yeah.Jackal wrote:Sorry Ryoiki, but you're wrong. Making something inaccessible to a certain audience doesn't make it more attractive, it just detracts from sales. Your point might be true on a micro level but it would never apply to the macro.
Beyond that, people in their early to late 20's are only a part of the target audience. Sure, we were the one's watching when the show started but you have to remember that Transformers has been a continuing franchise for the past 15-20 years in both cartoon and comic book form.
And yes, making a film that lends itself to merchandising will always inflate your sales astronomically. If Transformers was rated R (which I think would make it completely unfaithful to the franchise) they would not sell nearly as many toys and/or tickets.

And regardless of what you say, the robots were in the movie a shit ton.
In fact the only parts I can think of that they weren't in were the parts where the kid is going to school/buying the car, his first 10 minutes of driving the car around, and the parts with the secret base in the dam (which had Frenzy running around).
Simpsons movie... eh, alright. Just a really long episode I guess, don't know that I expected anything from it to begin with so I'm thoroughly ambivalent. Reviews saying it was the 'best movie of the year' were clearly bought and those saying it was 'the worse movie of the year' were just mad they weren't paid.

Just saw it tonight with a friend and I swear we laughed almost non-stop for the first half. Then it kind of mellows out and the plot becomes dramatic and serious, but still manages to squeeze in quite a few laughs. My expectations were definitely low for this movie and I had never even planned to see it, but I'm glad it was as it should be, plain hilarious. Simply the best Simpsons since Season 15.
Also, the amount of obscenity was excellent, it managed to shock the audience in the right way. Cocks and middle fingers never came to mind when watching Simpsons
Not really, I wouldn't say it did. They are quite different. If any movie already covered that base it would be Day of the Dead.riddla wrote:Serenity already covered that baseGrudge wrote:28 Weeks Later - 8/10
Very good, same suggestive mood as in the first one, but a bit more polished. Awesome music, great ending (it ended just the way a good zombie movie should end).
I wouldn't be surprised they will be making a "28 Years Later" some day.
harry potter - order of the phoenix: 5-6/10. was entertaining, but i'd *just* read the book last week so i knew what was going on. as a stand-alone film i don't think it works. 800 pages in 2:15 just doesn't work. it was like watching a real film in fast forward... and they still left out some stuff i would've thought was important.
Brick: 8/10 - a film noir set in high school? brilliant. good acting, good story, great concept and well executed. fun stuff.
ps- transformers was underwhelming. they took a pop culture gem and stuffed it into the mold of a standard michael bay summer action turd. superficial romance, big explosions, earth-threatening menace, patriotic speech toward the end, good guys win but leave room for 12334432 sequels that will get progressively worse until French Stewart stars in "Transformers 19: the Deceptulation!!@@!!1" that goes straight to video.
