I saw Schindler's List with this Canadian guy called Terry who found it all hysterically funny.

I wonder what happened to him. I think he got locked up.

Dude, it was Ghostbusters. Why would Schindler's List come to your mind when thinking of a comedy? That's weird.

You're both wrong, I was secretly spying on you at the time and it was actually Schindler's Busters.

The tragic and occasionally wacky story of the ghost holocaust.

Even if robots were only beating the crap out of each other I could pass it.

BUT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN !

50%, if not 60% is Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gybson shooting at the robots in lame, unfocused, shaky cam action sequences !

What the fuck Michael Bay ? What the fuck ?!

My worst experience of that kind was while watching Black Swan, people laughed AT EVERYTHING, it was unbearable !

I plan on making an ultimate fan cut that slices all three into one movie with the simplest plot as possible, Sam hardly having any screentime and just non stop robot action.

Well, I can say about DoTM that Michael Bay had at least improved upon the "bot-on-bot" action. Hell, there's even a cool pov shot of a soldier shooting at Sentinel while he's fighting Optimus Prime.

What I don't understand is: Why the hell is Michael Bay so dead on having the humans win the day? It was noticeable in RoTF, and it's downright ridicullous in DoTM.

But I will say this about the first film: It's certainly the best of the trilogy, and the only one where I've laughed at the jokes on multiple occasions.

The only time I laughed in the whole movie was when Mikhaela Barnes was in the government sedan with Sam and she is bullshitting Turturro's character, she displays some great comedic timing in that scene, and it made me chuckle.

Other than that, I wanted to kill the movie.

I fucking lost it when Sam is kicking the shit out of his car engine. And John Malkovich is always great. Other than that, a lot of the humour fell short and was usually misplaced.

I like Transformers in general, but that movie was not good. Even the action scenes didn't entertain me anywhere near enough to warrant seeing this film. I remember thinking that the opening was kind of cool and then it was just all downhill from there.

I know right? O_O
but upon SECOND viewing (from an "i liked it" standpoint) it wasn't as good.
(btw my edit of TF1 is almost complete!!!)

I love Transformers too as a concept, I never saw the original series, but I find the mythos to be absolutely awesome, such a shame the movies really aren't on par with that.

Just got around to seeing it (in 3d) and I kind of enjoyed myself.
