Dear god, the new Transformers movie was beyond painful to watch. It's 2 hours and 45 minutes of unrelenting cinematic torture.

The last one was at least pretty. I saw in iMAX 3D, and it had an hour of gorgeous eye candy after 90 minutes of some of the worst plot I've ever seen. Did this one not even have that?

They're robots that transform to cars and jets. And with this movie dinosaurs! Dinosaurs! (Or at least that was a rumor at one time.) I think the movie makers are really just relying on that one factor and thinking that's going to sell the movie. I guess it has been. I dunno I haven't watched one since the second movie. They're like adult movies; there's only so many times you can see to people have sex before it all looks the same.

I thought for sure it would be this one. I've always loved that cover. Absolutely no memory of the story within, nor who the heck Mr. Z was, but it's a great cover. I am getting some weird errors when I try posting... It's happening across all proboards forums and is being addressed. Check the Help Desk for more info.

I wonder if Michael Bay cares one iota that he has zero artistic credibility? Seriously. It has to bug him on some level that his name is synonymous with dumb, superficial, pop-corn flicks that people with even above average tastes look down on with scorn.

The Dinobots gave me hope that the movie might at least look cool, but they're barely in the movie and are the best part of it.

Like so many comparable creators (Rob Liefeld, come on down!), he probably makes a point of restricting his thoughts to his bank account & the attendance figures for his efforts.

The funny thing is that this movie actually felt like Michael Bay finally realized how bad he is at his job and tried to make a "so ridiculously bad that its good" movie, but its ultimately so long that I just got bored until the last 20 minutes.

Does anyone think there is a connection to the opening of this movie and Shia laboffs breakdown ?

Shia Labeouf's breakdown is probably directly related to watching far too many film dailies while on the set of Michael Bay films.

I just get this disturbing feeling that in 500 years, Stanley Kubrick will be forgotten and Michael Bay will be held up as a misunderstood genius. (That is if the world featured in Mike Judge's Idocracy keeps looking more and more likely...)

While I restrict myself from thinking about my bank account hoping that one day commerce will go away just like Gene imagined it would.

I'm pretty sure he's regretting it all the way to the big-ass Swiss bank account.
