[Movie] Transformers Movie (07-04-07)

One thing I necessarily don't understand about a lot of people that are judging this movie, you know, the people saying that it's a complete utter peice of trash, seem to be insulting it for the same exact reason.

That there was no story behind it. There was no plot, and if there was a plot, it was a poorly written one at that. I don't get that at all.

Yes, a movie, a book, a video game, anything that tells a story should, yes, have a plot. I agree with that statement entirely, but, if a movie has a plotline of: Giant Robots fight each other for an all powerful weapon, then why should anyone care about how deep that kind of a story is?

That'd be like asking 300 to have a plot like Gone With the Wind.

This is why I have a problem with critics, honestly. This is why I hate every film critic saying everything Quinten Tarantion comes out with are master peices. His films are alright, yes, they are enjoyable to watch, but yet every fan I've seen of Tarantino's thinks that every movie he makes is a masterpeice that deserves it's own hall of fame. Despite the fact he has horible dialogue and direction in most of his movies. But, it's not like he introduces a deep plot to any of them.

Transformers did this, but I think the dialogue was pretty spot on, despite some Autobot dialogue.

I think it's pretty laughable that people go into these kinds of movies expecting a rich, deep, though provoking polt at the end of the day. In fact, I mock them for even thinking as such. I went into this movie not wanting to see what new fancy schmancy car was coming out, I could give two fucks less. I could give two fucks less that there was product placement in the movie (Raging Mountain Dew machine FTW) in fact, this movie is about robots that assimilate machines to get around quicker. I'm sure someone would have bitched about an autobot being a printer from HP if that was in there, or Lexmark...who gives a shit.

There is only one thing that irritated me about this movie:

Spoiler:

Zack Ward getting skeward within the first 20 minutes of the movie. He deserves less dying roles, honestly.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Because, you know, no other director in the history of filmmaking ever uses that kind of plot device, ever, never, ever.

I've only seen Armeggedon, some bits and peices of Pearl Harbor (Not my kind of movie, couldn't sit through it all) and I must be some knuckledragging, hairy apeman with no intelligence, but isn't an action movie suppose to have, you know, action, explosions?

My god, they are giant robots, why the FUCK aren't they playing connect four?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
