Transformers: The Dark of the Moon (July 1st 2011)

yeah! the stylish visuals, explosives and special effects are f*ckn awesome! not just transformers franchise but his other movies too like bad boys 1 and 2, the rock, armageddon, pearl harbor ug uban pa. michael bay is one of the greatest director and movie maker of our time.

I wouldn't go that far. At best, Michael Bay is a mediocre director with a fetish for explosives and toiler humor, that's why his movies appeal to men. The Island was ok, but it could have been a great science fiction flick, but it got mucked up. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed adrenaline rides such as The Rock and The Bad Boys movies but Michael Bay was the wrong director for the Transformers franchise.

There's no question that the franchise has made tons of money, but it would have made money even if it was made by a chimp because it had robots who can transform into cars, planes, and tanks. The reason why a lot of people are so passionate about bashing Michael Bay and his version of the Transformers is because it's close to our hearts. Some people even consider it a major part of their childhood. I mean, how cool was it when you saw Optimus Prime transform from a trailer truck into a robot, rushing into battle while "The Touch" was playing at the background? Yes, it was that awesome. Then compare it with Bay's version and you feel compelled to at least punch the guy if you see him.

One major beef people have against these movies is Bay's insistence to include toilet humor to get cheap laughs. Remember the toilet scene with Wang? Yes, his name was Wang, get it? Doesn't it strike you why it had to be included in the movie? It made no sense. Plus, there's way too much screen time for the humans. Sometimes, I refer to these movies as "Sam and the Transformers" or "Sam's Ridiculously Annoying Parents and the Transformers".

mediocre director? i guess your just a big fan of juday and lito lapid hehehe

[bowee]

I have nothing against the director nor the movie....

one thing lang akong na observe... it simply lacks the human touch jud..

(well its all about robots and stuff right?, but it lacks human emotionally depth and content.)

If the movie is made for robots.. it would appeal for the robots.. (steely cold), but it was made for humans such as you and me.. and I for my part, Bay could have injected a much stronger human side jud unta.. into the human characters... emotions of love...


that is if I can suggest lang...

A movie becomes a hit when its given a human side to it bai..

in case you might forget.. all top grossing movies have the human side as the victor of it in the end...

Well if you know John Lloyd and bea(dingdong? Marian? or whoever they are.. then I would assume your fond watching their movies siguro...

Its better you yourself watch their movies and save your criticisms to yourself...

mentioning Juday and Lito Lapid (John Lloyd/Bea).. only tells you really are fond of watching filipino movies... since you know these characters all so well...

when i was a kid, lito lapid was my hero but when i grow up, his movies were still like the movies when i was in kindergarten and quality even became worse. and i think youre lying if you say you didnt know those actors ive mentioned coz even the most ignorant filipino know who they are.
