I don't believe that for a second. Not that Micheal Bay sucks at directing, I think he has some pretty strong competition for Worst Director and doesn't win that title easily. I've got my money on Uwe Boll. Now, we simply need to have a death-match tournament to determine the worst director of all time. The survivor will be rewarded by being shot into the sun.Hatchet90 said:Michael Bay is easily the worst director working in Hollywood today. Anyone who actually enjoys his movies obviously doesn't know what a good action movie entails: Interesting characters in exciting situations. Not Shia LeBitch screaming at a green screen for 2 and a half hours. And don't give that, "Oh dude it's just a popcorn movie it doesn't have to be good." Movies like this are not popcorn movies, they're just horrible movies.
Yah not to mention transformers has never been more then just mindless action, it was all just a gimmick to sell the transformers toys, the first show wasn't that good nor was the first movie (the cartoon one not the modern one), they had so many cliche lines that even the shit loving kid I was couldn't help but to hate them, the original Megatron was retarded (the leader transforms into a pistol that Starscream uses.....anyone else found that kinda weird? I know in later versions he became a tank but that's different) and when I saw the newest show christ they just stopped caring and added in even more albeit better cliches, but still Megatron transforms into a special custom car no one on earth has complete with spikes, and considering the plot was concerning a massive war that everyone on earth becomes aware of the "robots in disguise" thing was irrlevant by that point. Beast wars? What possible reason would you have to transform into animals? What are they gonna do? Eat the Energon?ReservoirAngel said:I don't get the hatred for these films. Did you people honestly go to TWO of these movies expecting deep plots and moving characters?
Saying these movies are bad because they're all actiony and over the top is like saying Casablanca is bad because it's too focused on romance. Duh, that's the point!
They never promise anything other than insane over-the-top robot deathmatches and if you expected anything more from them, frankly you're an idiot.
This looks awesome, I shall be seeing it.
Hmmm...yeah that is a good point I suppose. I never liked Megan Fox anyway *ducks soda can thrown by straight man in the back row* or Shia Le-whatshisface *accepts trophy* but to me they're at least bearable, somewhat.elvor0 said:I dunno, everyone I know is pissed off because there isnt enough about the which is what transformers is supposed to be about, not megan "ooh look at me I'm soooo sexy" fox and FUCKING shia lebouf trying to get jiggy with each other, robot testicles or annoying racial stereotypes like skid and mudflaps. They annoy me because it's not about the transformers fighting decepticons really, they're more of a framing device for Shia and Megan to get it on more than anything. I would be perfectly happy if the plot was no more complicated than your average super hero movie, i just want to see Robots damn it!
See I think I'm in the minority. Every negative review of these films I've read said "they were so busy I couldn't tell what was happening" but...even when it got to it's most "ROBOTS AND EXPLOSIONS EVERYWHERE" moments, I still never had trouble telling which robot was which and what was happening. And trust me, I have the worst eyesight in the whole fucking world.Enkidu88 said:I don't mind the all the action scenes. It's how Bay directs them that bugs the hell out of me. His scenes are always so damn busy that you can never tell what the hell is going on or whose winning or even who's who.
Hahahahahaha....hmm hahaahahaha.GrimTuesday said:Oh look, "Big Robots and Explosions 3" please excuse me if I don't shit myself with excitement over what is sure to be yet another mediocre movie.
So you love Avatar and hate Inception?Radeonx said:I love brainless action movies, and Transformers is a great series for this kinda stuff. I'm excited.
Then why use a source with so much back story, myth and character if your just gonna have them shooting at each other all the time outside of when humans are on screen running to/from something,doing something for a cheap joke or Belittling the namesake of the title as lesser being to humans rather than at least equals, Decepticons do this to humans and other organic lifeforms because they're evil. What are Sam's,The Government/Army (In the second movie.), or Bay's excuse? Evil,Ignorance,or hatred?ReservoirAngel said:I don't get the hatred for these films.

I never said that I didn't like anything. I simply stated what I did like.GoldenMech said:So you love Avatar and hate Inception?Radeonx said:I love brainless action movies, and Transformers is a great series for this kinda stuff. I'm excited.
(Shudder after watching it again.)I'll let that go as long as it wasn't really Skylinx or Swoop or that they are in the movie too.Endocrom said:Did I just see Dragon Megatron?
I laughed so hard my cat looked at me funny.Reed Spacer said:I'd like to see Michael Bay do a Care Bears movie.
Just think about that for a minute.
You've started grinning, haven't you?
Probably the same people that let the X-men movies exist, people that hate happiness and joy.Lord Xtheth said:Who keeps letting Michael Bay keep shitting on my childhood?
Oh well thanks for helping me see the light, how dare I demand movies of substance, how dare I want movies that actually have a point other than for Michal Bay to make a bunch of explosion/CGI porn that he can fap to at night while laying on huge piles of money.believer258 said:You fucks want to know something? You're just bitching over the latest popular thing. It's a fun movie, put your criticism out of your mind, lean back, and enjoy watching giant robots blow each other to hell. That's why people enjoy this film, why can't you people?
Did I ever say that the people who like these movies are stupid because they like these movies? Did any of the people you quoted? No we didn't.They're not exactly my favorite, and if you don't like them fine. But don't keep stepping on people just because they like them.
And don't keep stepping on Michael Bay just because he likes to make things explode.He at least did a decent job with Pearl Harbor.
