[Det Som Engang Var]

Fair enough.

it
was
awesome

You have every right to that opinion. Even though your opinion is terribly inaccurate. That movie was the expected pile of crap, and then some. The only decent movies Michael Bay ever made were The Rock, Bad Boys and The Island (you almost forget that he directed this). The saddest part about the Transformers movies is that Spielberg of all people is the main reason why these pieces of garbage keep getting released. He's giving Bay all of the cash he needs. I guess Spielberg was too busy to actually make the movies the way they should have been, so he just hired someone else and threw a ton of money at him.

the special effects were AWESOME

I'm guessing you slept through the previous two movies, because a) not only were they actually nothing new at all, b) in many instances they were actually WORSE than before. It also doesn't help that the movie was an hour too long, because they had to try and over explain every little thing (aka Michael Bay forgot to save all of the deleted scenes for the Blu-Ray and kept them on the master print instead).

The only special effects laden movie I have any hopes for at all for the rest of 2011 is Cowboys and Aliens.

LMAO. The sad part is that all of that "fictionalized" material may as well be what he said, because that's exactly how the final product will turn out.

*Whoops! Guess I had my nostalgia/ignorant goggles on when thinking about The Rock. I ended up watching that again since I had not seen it since 96, and god does it suck. For a Bay movie it's not bad, and it's also not bad if you're young and dumb--but watching it now is just utterly painful. No one is able to deliver their lines in any way that seems even remotely natural, and almost no one in the entire movie shows and semblance of "real" emotion. Bay directs at such a break-neck speed that it's like he wants everyone to just spit out their lines as fast as possible so they can move on to the next person. Any time someone would speak, it was literally like they were there doing a test read for an audition up on a stage...it's truly awful. It doesn't help either that the music is blasting a "super serious and urgent!" score the entire time while crash test dummies spit out their lines or walk all importantly.

It's quite telling when one of the worst directors in history next to Uwe Bowll, Paul Anderson and especially Ed Wood manufactures some of the highest grossing films of all time.
