Hey, I got the G-ride revved up and ready to roll.

Just say the word.

74: I remember picking up on the “subtleties” of He-Man and She-Ra when I was in college. I think Orko had a thing with Man-at-Arms, and BattleCat obviously resented He-Man with a passion after he was neutered. And why did Skeletor laugh so often? What was so damn funny? The sexual tension overpowered the story most days.

Seriously, Transformers was sheer brain-off entertainment. The transformations were badly rendered, and the fact that they talk ruined my suspension of disbelief, but as a popcorn flick, it does the trick. They could have made it better with a “War of the Worlds” vibe, especially during the Qatar air base attack, and perhaps an R rating, but it’s a toy, so it won’t happen.

#88 – Michael Bay? “Grown up?” “Matured?!?”

To put it mildly…I really don’t think so.

#82 SPB — I am not a big Michael Bay fan, either, but I enjoy some of his films. Bad Boys was okay and The Rock, The Island and Transformers were good… but Armageddon and Pearl Harbor sucked and sucked hard. PH was his worst film by far. But from what I’ve seen, he’s risen up and matured a bit since then. Never bothered to watch Bad Boys II, though.

Bay also produced three horrible horror movie remakes: Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Amityville Horror, and The Hitcher. He has three more coming out: The Birds, Friday the 13th, and A Nightmare on Elm Street. They will all likely suck… especially The Birds. The last time a Hitchcock film was remade, we got Psycho ‘98. That’s not good.

“#27 Oregon Trek Geek — don’t confuse the 1980s/early 90s spoofs with the junk they have now. The Naked Gun, Hot Shots, Airplane… all of those were hilarious; the recent batch of “spoofs” are nothing more than wastes of time and talent. ”

For the most part I concur, especially Scary Movie 1 & 2. Horrible. The third was not bad, with the spoof on “Signs” with Charlie Sheen in the Mel Gibson part. The fist fight with Michael Jackson was, let’s face it, hilarious. And Leslie Neilsen as the president was pretty funny. Um, I thought… :)

#71, #72 -

Yes, I know it was “supposed” to be a dumb summer movie, but it’s not impossible to take dumb material (say, SPIDER-MAN and MEN IN BLACK, as examples) and make it smart and fun. The makers of TRANSFORMERS took dumb material… and made it dumber.

Again, I want to try and be as respectful as possible (for one main obvious reason on these boards), but all I can say it that I intentionally skipped TRANSFORMERS in the theaters because I can’t stand anything by Michael Bay and I was going to be damned if I got burned again (my last straw was PEARL HARBOR). However, literally EVERYONE I knew who saw TRANSFORMERS thought it was one of the Greatest Films Sci-Fi Action Films They’ve Ever Seen…

I broke down and Netflixed it and couldn’t stand a minute of any of it. I forced myself to sit through the entire thing, hoping and praying I’d see what everyone else was seeing, but it never came. Too many reasons to list here, but I really can’t think of a single thing I liked about the film. I will most assuredly be avoiding TRANSFORMERS 2 like the plague.

But I’m not trying to change anyone’s mind. I realize I’m decidedly in the minority on this one. But again, I hate everything by Michael Bay, but really enjoyed M:i:III, so I’m putting my faith in Abrams, Orci, Kurtzman & Co. If Bay was making TREK XI, I would be very, VERY frightened.
