| I'm sorry, this is going to be a horrifically bad movie. Michael Bay sucks at life, and is possibly one of the worst directors in modern Hollywood. On top of the blatant fact that they borked the designs from day one, this dipstick is making a movie that has been described about that kid from Even Stevens getting a new car and growing up.
I saw the trailer on the Interweb and in the theatre, and I wasn't impressed either time. Not worth 9 bucks or the matinee of 5 bucks. Hell, this isn't worth theatre hopping.
Yeah, I realize the Transformer license has been butchered with those horrifically bad Japanese import shows where they make it pokemon in space with robots, but they were trying to channel the actual good shows (ie: original). Yeah, the originals were essentially toy commercials, but they were better than pretty much any modern cartoon or anime right now because it at least wasn't mindnumbingly retarded. I understand you need to update what they turn into, and I can sort of understand that they want to make them not have disappearing pieces (trailers from trucks, etc). Yet, the designs they churned out look like H.R. Geiger had a nightmare involving insects having sex with alien cars and then getting an abortion, with the final transformer designs being the biowaste from said abortion.
People complain about some douchebag like Uwe Boll. No, Boll is insignificant and nobody cares about him. Michael Bay is a bigger scourge on cinema than Boll, and the simple fact that he is still allowed to make movies is proof that the concept of a just and merciful God if flawed. |
