The Transformer movies are awesome.

DRTA...but based on the headline, if he gives a monologue to a CGI Ironman in The Avengers, I'm going to be pissed.

Also, lack of Unicron in the Transformers movies retroactively makes the whole series terrible...well, more terrible.

ArkAngel: Just pretend you're filming SWAT again and doing a scene with Colin Farrell

Came here to say something very similar. Just watched that movie last night as it's on cable A LOT. That might be the very definition of the "perfect vanilla action movie". I've never known anyone that hated or liked that movie, you feel feel bland about it. People get shot, stuff blows up, but nothing sets it apart. The perfect background noise movie.

If you look closely you can see Shia thumbing through a wad of hundreds in his pocket whenever he is talking with a robot.

If you think Shia has it rough, consider what the robots have to put up with!

Cyno01: The third transformers movie wasnt too bad, bonus points for leonard nemoy saying "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" and ripping on megan fox the whole time, but yeah, the 2nd one stunk out loud.

Aside from Transformers 2 and Pearl Harbor i like michael bay movies, there, i said it. Come at me bro.

I would, but I'm afraid you'd drool on me.

Yes, that movie was 2 hours and 34 minutes long. God it sucked.

Not everything has to be a Shawshank level story/acting job. Sometimes we're just happy with explosions.

Well played.

Oh good, this means I will spend all of today giggling over Clint Burton's Indian princess costume.

Exploding Explosions with Jason Statham. That's all I ask.

He is one to talk.
'The Town' was one of the worst movies ive ever seen.

A weak mix of 'The Friends of Eddie Coyle' and 'Heat'.

You need to watch more movies. :)


My man-crush on Renner is approaching Christian Bale status.

Sorry.

Sorry.

I accept your apology. You are forgiven.

Have you heard about a movie called "The Empire Strikes Back"? Or may "Terminator 2"? How about "Predator"? Maybe "Aliens"? Or "Die Hard"? I'll let you figure out why these movies totally rape your argument into a coma.

Forgot Armageddon, that was mostly crap... But cmon, Bad Boys, The Rock, Bad Boys II, classics. I even liked The Island. Not high cinema sure, but not every movie has to be Citizen Kane or The Departed. Someone here used a burger analogy one time that i liked. You dont have to have filet all the time, a burger is fine too, doesnt mean there arent bad burgers though.

The Rock was a good grass fed burger with quality bacon and sauteed jalepnos and onions. Transformers 2 was day old McDonalds.

No, not every movie has to be, wait, what? Those are your shining examples of cinema?

If anything Citizen Kane is close to Michael Bay. The story wasn't what made it a "classic" but rather the techniques used in editing and filming it. I'll make a lame case here and say that's early Bay right there, baby. Screw story, wiggle the camera.

The Departed. Great, another over hyped mobster movie from Scorcesse.

The rock was explosions and machismo and explosions and machismo, and maybe some more explosions.

His movies are 2+ hour long reasons to not ever let him touch a story. He should be relegated to being a living ILM and not an actual director.

I'd rather watch Uwe Bowl crap than Michael Bay. At least Uwe is honest about what he does.

Yes. I have been corrected by the Master so that makes it vaguely less painful.

Thing is Transformers has a specific problem that half the time you can't tell which robot is which once they transform to humanoid, so the main action sequences just becoming a confusing mess, which is a bad idea when the entire point of the series is the action.

I remember this dude on a reality show on E, the IT factor. His big break was deciding to do "The Big Bounce" or "SWAT". His agent told him to do SWAT because more people would see it, even though the role was smaller. My gaydar went off when he laid in his kitchen and cried hysterically when told he was offered two parts for 50k each.

Renner is awesome, and I hope he continues to get good roles and isn't run out of town with terrible casting jobs.

This. THIS.

torr5962: My gaydar went off when he laid in his kitchen and cried hysterically when told he was offered two parts for 50k each.

He notes in that section that he was broke as fark so that might be part of it.

Anyway, I hope that cast had orgy nights every night. It would bring me a lot of personal joy.

How is he more honest? Every interview I've read is him being pissed that people think his movies are crap and talking about how good his next movie is going to be. I've admittedly only read a couple of interviews.

Before the script for the key-word-ads was loaded, the article said this:

"On dating: "I never dated, because I couldn't afford to date. I didn't even have electricity. You try to put a positive spin on it, like, 'Hey, this is so sexy, look at all these candles!' But I loved what I was doing. The sacrifices I made in personal relationships had the biggest effect on my life. Even now, any woman would take a No. 2 to my job."


...interesting job I guess

While I loved it as a kid, reading an essay David Foster Wallace wrote about T2 and then rewatching it made me never want to see it again. "Vhy do you cry?" Turns out the original Terminator is the only awesome movie, the second one just had great effects and action.

I'm sure Shia sleeps well at night with the thoughts of truckloads of cash and getting to bang Megan Fox solely for being in this movie with her swimming in his drunky head.
