Transformers! (Merged)

They weren't even shiny since the picture was generally so muddy to hide the blend of CGI and non-CGI.

But it is ok with me that you liked it. Being entertained is an entirely subjective experience. It worked for you, I don't invalidate that. You're the one who attempted to invalidate my reasons for why I did not like it.

For a summer action movie I am not going in looking for high art and am perfectly willing to judge it on different criteria than I did Before Sunrise or other art pieces (by that standard all the great summer tentpoles would pretty much be crap). But I do expect a basic level of craftsmanship, as I define it, and did not experience that.

I did NOT try to invalidate anything. In fact I said critical comments ARE valid- but I do think over analyzing it ruins it. Heaven forbid I respond with my opinions on that- geesh.

I've apologized- I've explained- I am DONE with it. Fvcking done.


FUN movie- I'll be going again.....it's Harry Potter week too- more shiny.
