I'm reliably informed there are people who like Michael Bay's Transformers movies. The most interesting part of the entire series to me was watching a Camaro get into a literal fist fight with a Mustang. Otherwise my memories of the movie were having eye rollingly childish catch phrases boomed down at me, or visuals that are basically just technicolor television snow.
Transformers for me was pretty much Megan Fox and nothing else.
There were other people in that movie?
The hilarious thing is that, in the script, Megan Fox's character is actually really interesting and multidimensional. And Bay films her as just some T&A.
I'm not complaining tbh.
No like is the wrong word. I love them. Don't know why thou, they are fucking stupid.
I mean its clearly an ad for the military where cars beat up cars. Buuuut Its hilariously epic and very comforting in its shallowness. Normally I am more of a weird indie movie guy. But every time optimus calls out all autobots in the end I cry.
I like them because they're stupid. I do have a problem seeing irony where there is none though.
Transformers: Dumb blockbuster movie that somehow received high praise. I think I understood the assignment.
I thought the first one was at least fun, but had some obviously annoying parts that should have been cut from any sequel.
Then the second one comes out, and the annoying parts of the first are the entire movie of the second.
