Transformers 2007* *- here's looking at you, rra ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Maybe its me, but I like movies that are fun to watch, and I can't see why people absolutely HAAAAATE Transformers, its like the damn movie killed a baby or something I hadn't gone to theaters in a while and when I saw Transformers I was a happy viewer

I enjoyed Transformers as well. Did it have flaws? Sure, but so did Rocky (my fav movie), heck, that scene of Apollo coming down dressed as uncle sam is as bad as the sams happy time joke. Speaking of which, rocky 5. It did kind of bring the series back full circle, and had one of the best ending lines ever, "sue me for what?"

TF...without the explosions and CGI, why bother with it? Anyway, screw ROCKY V....what about ROCKY BALBOA? That's the only true ROCKY sequel.

Halloween 3. Sure Michael Meyers isn't in it that doesn't make it any less of a good film. yeah I liked part 3. if they had released it under a different title I think it might have got more love.

speed 2.
Crazy bad guy, a big boat, a cop with a bad buzzcut and Sandra Bullock cracking jokes about how 'she's never going on vacation again'. What's not to love?

I liked transformers, and not zodiac. I really wanted to like zodiac, because i always was interested in the story. It just seemed to drag. And skip ahead in time with out letting anyone know. I should probably give it a second run w/ out drinking a half case of beer while doing so. See, I don't see the "drag" at all that people complain about. To put it another way, does it drag simply because its a long movie (w/ Director's Cut, nearly 3 hours) or because the story itself dragged and stalled and wasted your time this side of Peter Jackson's KING KONG. As for "without letting anyone know".....you know that movie had subtitles, right? Unlike most murder movies, the events occured on a chronology from 1969 to 1991...a very long-ranging narrative that doesn't have the case occur within a short timespan. Its rare to call a procedural/thriller an "epic."

Live and Let Die
Honestly. Moore is one of the Best Bonds in my book. His acting is not as bad as people say.

I think speed 2 is stupid, cheesy fun, no worse than any of the other summer blockerbusters that are usualy churned out. I actually think if Keanu had done speed 2 it would have done a lot better, commercially and critically. He's not the best actor ever, but he could hold a movie a lot better than Jason patric could and had a lot more chemistry with sandra bullock. Also, I think Keanu would have insisted they not play it as much for comedy as they were and it would have had a more serious tone. I watch speed 2 and see a decent action flick, not one of the worst films ever made like it's considered to be. It's no where near as bad as gigli, battlefield earth or pluto nash.

The problem is, Keanu read the script.....and I don't blame him for passing it. Its a pretty stupid story.... Patric is lifeless, Bullock* is given alot more screentime despite still shoehorned as the damsel in distress, and Willem Dafoe is awesome, but he tries what he can with the garbage sent to him. *=She says SPEED 2 is her biggest career mistake.

Thats the Main thing Connery was a good mix of the Suaveness and rugged ness of Bond Moore was pure Suve and not as much rugged Pierce Brosnan was an ok mix, but very strong on the ruggedness But Dalton is not strong in either cat. He in my mind is just there *I did not count Craig and Lazenby because as of now only 1 movie each

Lazenby would go on to pursuits such as Emmanuelle the Series.
Softcore is fine by me George.

Brosnan I liked, though he never was comfortable with the stupid puns....which is fine. He's action-credible though. I tell ya, if Craig can keep it up with his 2 other 007-contracted gigs..... He'll be the greatest Bond of them all. Yes, even better than Connery.

The Phantom Menace. Ok, Jar Jar was bad, we get it. Stop bringing it up every 5 seconds. Beyond Jar Jar, it's a good movie. "BUT BUT BUT IT'S NOT THE STAR WARS I WANTED" Yeah, we know. It's the Star Wars George Lucas wanted. Get over yourself. Just because you bought 47 tickets to the first three movies does not mean you should magically get input on future projects. You didn't have to watch it. You didn't have to like yet. Yet, somehow, you think your opinion should matter. 60% of that movie was very good, but quite a bit of the rest was crap. Add to that several of the little things (midichlorians anyone?) just did not fit in well with any of the original trilogy.

I liked Batman Forever. Val Kilmer made a good Bruce Wayne, and Jim Carrey was good as the Riddler. I didn't enjoy seeing the Riddler's batch so prominently in that one costume, but I eventually erased the imagery from my mind.
