IT'S GOOD BECAUSE I LIKED IT

it wasn't great

CLEARLY YOU'RE HOLDING THIS MOVIE TO SOME ULTRA-HIGH STANDARD
HOW DARE YOU WATCH SOMETHING WITH A CRITICAL MIND

IT WAS MICHAEL FUCKING BAY

if you expected some deep ass movie, then you obviously never saw The Rock, Pearl Harbor, Armageddon, et al. In fact, you should have your movie-posting rights revoked for expecting anything more than chases and explosions. Furthermore, you are an idiot.

^^honestly
i'll agree with that last statement

who the fuck even goes to a michael bay movie if they cannot cut off that part of their movie-watching brain?

7/28/2005 11:02:49 AM

My best friend and I saw the sneak preview for free. My best friend had to look away at some parts during the begining because she doesn't like needles. But despite that she thought it was a good movie. I thought it was pretty good too (even though I typically don't go see action/adventure type movie).

7/28/2005 11:05:50 AM

Incidentally, I didn't hate it. My feelings about the movie can best be summed up by my first post in this thread. The product placement and some other things got on my nerves, but I'll give it points just for being a mainstream movie that was completely befuddling for about the first hour.

But I'll still defend those that didn't like it against this ridiculous notion that YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CERTAIN MINDSET TO WATCH A MOVIE, because I've hated a lot of movies in my life and have been told (by both film snobs and non) that my reasons are stupid.

7/28/2005 11:36:36 AM

Hoping to see this Sat. I've been wanting to rent Logan's Run but neither Blockbuster near NCSU have it

7/28/2005 12:38:58 PM

if this were a trial

i think i would rip this case wide open right now

but instead
i'll merely say, driving home last night i passed a truck carrying train axels
i got scared

7/28/2005 2:07:55 PM

i found it hard to believe the truck driver in the movie didn't stop...

"doodahdoo... hm, i wonder why all those cars behind me are exploding..."

well this bullshit shouldn't be force fed to us every summer like it's the greatest thing since sliced bread

it's just one unbelievably bullshit idea after the other

a whole society of clones? yea like that would happen one day

aliens from mars, an uninhabitable planet, suddenly invade earth with death rays?

that story has no place in the 21st century and it was stupid when it came out and they still STOLE IT

thanks to this thread I at least have a name to associate with this crap since Armageddeon was probably my least favorite movie of all time

"youre just being difficult. word twisting gets you nowhere. the point is that all of us hate people who hold all movies to some very strict standard. obviously an action movie wont have as good of a plot or acting as a movie that was meant to be solely about the story. you have to go in and judge a movie on its own merits, what type it is, and the intended audience. "

blah blah if a movie isn't artistic on some level then it's an inferior product and I will not pay for 7 dollars for it

you say this but you probably make fun of people for buying some shitty ass nu metal album

how is it any different for movies?

haha dude that review was fucking hilarious

great stuff

7/31/2005 3:26:40 AM

^^Isn't the point of watching movies to get a healthy dose of escapism?

I see where you are coming from but I think you can escape and still get something out of a film

take two towers for example; I'm not a fantasy fan but that was definetly an escape and a good movie

8/1/2005 1:07:20 AM

This movie was nearly beat out at the box office over the weekend by "March of the Penguins".

Your days are numbered, Bay.

8/1/2005 8:56:24 AM

i still can't figure out the roll-out offered for this movie

its not even playing locally for me, i had to drive to rocky mount

8/1/2005 9:05:41 AM

bay shoulda let scarlett go topless

8/1/2005 6:31:42 PM

this was grade F sci-fi

shit for story, plot and writing

EXCELLENT CINEMATICS. very good direction

if only i was a 9 year old retard, i would have enjoyed it

8/8/2005 2:50:27 AM

the previews pretty much ruined the movie for me. there were no surprises. oh well. i'll give it a C.

8/8/2005 9:59:53 AM

This movie was awesome. Just saw it at the Dollar movie. I recommend anyone with a $1.50 to burn to go see it. Awesome chases. Good story. Good thing I didn't read any reviews...or this thread beforehand.

10/2/2005 9:44:00 PM

^ same with me.

10/2/2005 9:47:10 PM

Extremely entertaining...which was all I hope was hoping to get out of the movie.

That and Scarlett Johanssen was ridiculously hot in this movie. Jesus.

12/25/2005 11:15:28 PM

i think it's great

12/26/2005 12:01:11 AM
