Escape to the Movies: Transformers: Dark of the Moon

[Smokescreen]

Also, to everyone claiming that Bob's suggesting that because you have different opinions you shouldn't get to vote or drive: You are missing the point and the despair of someone who has exhausted his goodwill in order to white knight something that doesn't love you.

Just sayin'.

Well I don't care about story because it has no real effect on me IRL, I won't ever use it again and it's just a fan thing, as long as it can capture as much as possible without making me bored that's fine, but if it goes on forever trying to build up characters and all that and then story nerds and critics insult me for being bored and not liking it, something really stupid has happened. Hence why I like watching the Star Wars prequels for the action and then zoom past the story crap or go to pee. On the other hand in politics anything I can learn will help me so I'm more motivated to do so, anything I can learn in driving will also help me so I'm more motivated to do so, but anything in a story? I won't ever use it again unless it's for some example or something, and the worst part is a bunch of people hate people like me then.

Not saying that Transformers is a good film and that story is stupid, just that I hate it when stories get too complex and I don't enjoy them and now I'm the bad guy for not being entertained by entertainment.

 

[elitestranger1]

your not alone im tired to.

hey u wanna go see transformer?
no damn it
y not its a good movie
you said terminator 4 and wolverine were good! y am i even friends with u! RAGE!

no matter how much we try to drill sense into brainless mainstream audiences they never listen and the results are irritating (by which i refer to the undeserved large sum that collects in bays back pocket)

 

[k-ossuburb]

I agree with the whole "being tired" thing there, I'm tired of the music industry putting out recycled crap from clone-stamped pop tarts, I'm tired of the movie industry being a lazy sludge of mediocrity and I'm tired of people not understanding why this is a problem. All I can really do is just hope that things can get better.

When Transformers 2 was in theatres, I went to see it with my friends. I knew I would hate it in advance. The tragic thing, though, is that I did not go see 'Drag Me to Hell', a movie I knew I would like by a film maker I respect.

Not this time.

What did Nimoy do?

 

[Loves2spooge]

Fuckin' A, Bob. It's not a matter of elitism or taste, it's a matter of caring where your money goes. People hate paying taxes, but it ultimately benefits them; but some people willingly pay for tripe like this and it has no benefit for them.

I don't care if someone enjoys this movie, I just don't appreciate being called a snob when I say to people I think it's a bad movie.

 

[Ne1butme]

Bob,

I'm not going to see this movie. I hope that helps.

 

[Srdjan Tanaskovic]

Oh common

This movie wasn't a big US military love letter is the other two. If anything this was less of it sense the robots does get some awesome action scene

and maybe the very problem with the movies are that they are based on the first series (which many might agree on that it was just a toy commercial) and not Beast War (which many will say is where the TV series got good)

What did Nimoy do?

He apparently makes a cameo in this film.

Well then maybe you can relate to people who don't appreciate when others imply that they are incapable of voting because they like a certain type of movie.

You are, in fact, a snob.

 

[thelastgentleman]

I actually liked the film...not in any form a classic but for a guys night out B movieish film I would recommend it. I love your reviews Bob, but if you could show love for piranhas 3d i think some understanding for Transformers is possible.

 

[Battle Catman]

Ah, I was waiting for that.

"If you like this movie, you're a retarded retard who's retarded."

 

[nintendo414]

Did nimoy do something?

 

[PrinceofPersia]

I am so very sorry, Bob. Thank you for sitting through crap like this so that I don't have to.

Second and throw in a salute! Seriously though I hope Captain America is a really great film that blows Bob's mind to nirvana for all the crap he's been put through for watching these bad movies. *sigh* I still can't believe Michael Bay is shafting the MAIN characters for squishy unknown humans.

 

[Random berk]

I actually feel sorry for Moviebob after this review. That depression at the end sounded quite genuine.

 

[walsfeo]

What did Nimoy do?

He apparently makes a cameo in this film.

And that got a dis from Bob? Not cool Bob, not cool.

 

[Genixma]

He voiced Sentinel Prime. I guess Bob thinks since Spock is now in someway pushed into Bay's movie it's a disappointment.

 

[Redd the Sock]

If it makes you feel better Bob, I've been looking forward to this review more than I have the movie.

And I can't blame your burnout at this point. In a summer of blockbusters most are either umpteen sequals or adapations, and despite a few years of hope this gives the nerd in all of us, most have been passable at best. X-Men has been the only thing this summer truely good, with a couple of passables like Thor, but the rest has been outright drek without the MST camp factor, or something like Pirates that might have been fine except for the shadow of the films that came before. I'm sure Harry Potter will deliver, but the rest of the summer is still a coin toss.

I'll admit, we've probably been spoiled by Lord of the Rings, the Dark Knight and other adaptations by directors that give a shit about the work, but for some of the phoned in efforts, it's clear we're seeing cash grabs with special effects budgets. It's the 90s all over again.
