    No. And I never made that point either.

    If the movie was shit, though, word would get out. And it wouldn't be raking anything close to what it is.

    People are enjoying it and word of mouth is driving people to go see it.

    You definitely implied it.

    Hey, if people want to see stupid shit, I'm not stopping them. Knock yourselves out. It doesn't matter to me--I wasn't 8 years old when this cartoon came out, so I'm obviously not the target audience.

    But if I have to see one more of those stupid chevy cooperative crossover ads, I may throw up. I'm not impressed, but again, they're not marketing to me.

    Again...your opinion of stupid shit. I am the target audience and I wanted no part of seeing this movie when I first heard about it. The trailers have looked decent and the word of mouth has mostly ranged from positive to glowing.

    No, it's not Citizen Kane. Then again, having already seen that once, I'm not sure I could stay awake through a second viewing of Citizen Kane anyway.
     
  4. What if they re-did Citizen Kane with Megatron as Kane?

    That might improve it

    Well, we'd know what Rosebud transforms into.

    So, I saw the movie today.

    It's a spectacle for the eyes. The rest of the movie, is classic Michael Bay. Explosions, stunts, running, corny dialogue.

    I walked in cautiously optimistic. I walked out with a headache.

    Like Superman last year, it was far too long. Unlike Superman, this will make a mint and lead to sequels.

    It ain't Citizen Kane, but it ain't Pearl Harbor, either. It's 2 1/2 hours of mindlessness.

    A GM car, I would assume. ::)

    Plus the entire cast would blow up in the climactic scene.

    I really wanted to hate it. But I really didn't. It's pretty much what you expect, but it's just smart enough to be aware of itself.

    Five pages on a Michael Bay movie and nobody has dug up these lyrics yet?

    I miss you more than Michael Bay missed the mark,
    When he made Pearl Harbor.
    I miss you more than that movie missed the point,
    And that’s an awful lot .
    And now, now you've gone away,
    And all I'm trying to say,
    Is Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you

    I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting school,
    He was terrible in that film.
    I need you like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part,
    He's way better then Ben Affleck.
    And now all I can think about is your smile,
    And that ty movie too,
    Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you

    (Interlude)

    Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies?
    I guess Pearl Harbor sucked
    Just a little bit more than I miss you.

    Here is the end of discussion.

    Transformers was a POPCORN MOVIE.
    Watch the original and you may enjoy it more.
    Nobody has a clue how they got from the Hoover Dam to Mission City in 10 min. (Not LA but filmed here)
    Megan Fox is a sexy beats and I look forward to her debut in Horny Student Aid on Skinemax.

    The movie was made by BAY ENOUGH SAID.

    But I enjoyed it when I saw it at the theater, but I don't think I could watch it again. Cut some of the stupid shit out and it should be a good 1:40min movie.
