Comments on: I Heart The Transformers But No, I Don’t Like The Michael Bay Movies http://www.torontothumbs.com/2009/12/22/i-heart-the-transformers-but-no-i-dont-like-the-michael-bay-movies/ By Canadian Gamers Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:02:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: yanipheonu http://www.torontothumbs.com/2009/12/22/i-heart-the-transformers-but-no-i-dont-like-the-michael-bay-movies/#comment-6291 yanipheonu Thu, 31 Dec 2009 04:36:58 +0000 http://www.torontothumbs.com/2009/12/22/i-heart-the-transformers-but-no-i-dont-like-the-michael-bay-movies/#comment-6291 Worst part of the Bay movie: These movies are really advertisements for kids to buy toys, let's face it. An advertisement with masterbation and humping jokes. Yeah. Funny story: Some woman brought their kids with them, and they were being OBNOXIOUS. I don't care if kids talk every once in a movie, whatever, they're kids, but this was literally out loud ALL THE TIME. So, I yell "SHUT UP!" across the theater, since clearly no one was telling them to be quiet. sure enough the mom comes over and says I shouldn't do that. Of course, I say fair enough, but she needs to control her kids so I don't need to say that. She says she doesn't want her kids to learn stuff like "Shut up", to which I just repeat she needs to control her kids before she takes them into a theater. So yeah, recap, she doesn't want her kids to learn to say "Shut up" while watching a movie with masturbation and racist jokes. XD Not to mention, they say Shut up many many times during the movie, not to mention a few swears, which made me laugh inside. In fact that was my favourite part of the movie.

So far I'm Tran2 Free but we'll see what happens. i had to wait something like 45 minutes until I saw Optimus Prime. outside of the inditinguishable character designs (every robot is just slick silver metal) the fact that Optimus spends the beginning of the movie off the movie is unforgivable.

I couldn't believe how bad it was and that people genuinely swear by the film. At the time I compared it to a 2-hour movie trailer. Trust me, there's nothing rewarding about the sound design of the movie, it's absolutely crap. Great article, by the way.

It's really weird that the franchise has been hipped up to today's cliché ideas of what an action movie should be. Be strong - there's no need to see the second movie, ever. I hear you.

The first Transformers movie was on TV a couple of weeks and my wife and I decided PVR it and give it a second viewing the next night. Perhaps it was growing up with the Transformers cartoon that impacted our initial take of the movie, so we wanted to give it another chance. What the hell were we thinking?! After a hour I had had enough and decided to go and do more important things like shovel the driveway and sidewalk. My wife continued to watch the movie, in fast forward, and by the end of it all she could say was "Why?" As in "why did I subject myself to this crap?" and "why did someone make a sequel to this?" I can proudly say that I have not seen Transformers 2, nor do I plan on seeing anytime in the foreseeable future. I couldn’t agree with you more!
