Re: TRANSFORMERS WAAAAAAS AMAZING
The director takes a script and molds it. Sure making a good film takes more than 1 good director; but they are make or break. They decide HOW it is done and WHAT makes it through.
A director certainly has the power to totally fuck it up.

Re: TRANSFORMERS WAAAAAAS AMAZING
I would also like to point out that Michael Bay was both director and producer of both Transformers films. Although, even if he wasn't the producer the buck tends to stop at the director - there is a reason why people ultimately look to the director when passing judgement on a film. You describe directors as powerless and insignificant in the creative design. Well then who are Hitchcock and Orson Welles? Who is Ed Wood?
Also, the total canon of the Transformers universe is not much more than a stupid toy commercial; meaning he could have made it almost anything as long as it featured GM branded vehicles morphing into giant robots.

Re: TRANSFORMERS WAAAAAAS AMAZING
This is why the suck of his movie - not to mention most video game films - is inexcusable. He practically had a blank slate. Nobody expected him to make a frame-by-frame adaptation of the original. He could have done anything he wanted, as long as it involved two armies of alien giant robots that turned into vehicles.
Same with video games - look at movies like Mario Bros and Doom - they completely threw out the source material and they still made it suck. They can't even say "well, I only had a stupid video game to work with" because they _ignored_ the stupid video game.
Same principle applies here.

You took the words out of my mouth. He had tabula rasa, and squandered it.

In the Michael Bay Dimension they talk of Epic Win considering this movie.

Re: TRANSFORMERS WAAAAAAS AMAZING
I saw the movie 2 days ago,
SPOILER DO NOT READ FURTHER IF YOU WANA WATCH THE MOVIE
-wierd women/robot with human skin... no other robot had this abillity?! looks like somekind of terminator to me -.-
-what the hell when the robots landet on the aircraftcarrier, there were like 4-6 battleships around who could have demolished them with pure firepower
-the part where he sends his parent away with bumblebee is ok, but why are they comeing back...really wierd shit, as if they'd like to die
-there were better fights with good music in between than at the end (really dissapointing)
-they could have used his dormmates hacking abilities to do sth cool, but they totally ignored them
-his roommate was just there to scream the whole f... time which was really annoying
-the millitary support from some country around egypt was killed in an instant (the two helicopters...remember them, probably not)
as if the americans were the only people able to fight the invading robots...(I have nothing against them, but sometimes movie directors really take it to far)
-the effects were really good
-it was nice to see some old faces from the first movie
I really had hopes for this movie but all in all it was dissapointing, still better than most movies which you can see atm

Re: TRANSFORMERS WAAAAAAS AMAZING
I wished they had left out all the ridiculous chatter and of course, the typical "IT" retards every movie needs nowadays. What I really wished for were two hours of robots kicking each other's asses and perhaps a less homosexual appearance of the decepticocks. And where the fuck was Sixshot?
Re: TRANSFORMERS WAAAAAAS AMAZING
the human element needs to be kept to a minimal and it has a shot at being a good film. fuck the humans, i'm here to see robots fuck each other up!
Re: TRANSFORMERS WAAAAAAS AMAZING
they do, so far people who are very serious people have not enjoyed it. If you are the kind of person who expects it to be perfect and infallible, it is a GIANT ROBOT MOVIE and you need to suspend your disbelief.

It'll never be as good as the 80s movie though, which is why I shall be disappoint.smoth wrote:they do, so far people who are very serious people have not enjoyed it.

Re: TRANSFORMERS WAAAAAAS AMAZING
Um, dude, I like wing, trieze is one of my favorite anime characters. Seed was a train wreck, I watched it, have you? SD Gundam? which one? I am sorry but no, dw:gundam features the musha gundam from the sd gundam games, it is an awesome mech.Pxtl wrote:This from somebody who gets butthurt whenever anybody mentions Gundam Seed or SD Gundam or Gundam Wing.
I groan when people request I add wing/seed because it is clearly written on the gundam site that I will not.

Re: TRANSFORMERS WAAAAAAS AMAZING
the cartoon movie, it was awesome all except for the part on the junk world.
Re: TRANSFORMERS WAAAAAAS AMAZING
The first half hour or so is just immense. The soundtrack helps out though, some classics on there. Aaah, I might have to go watch it now. The junk planet was ok, but definitely not the best part.
It really has ruined the new transformers movies for me though, they'll just never be quite as epic. Optimus dies man! Plus it amuses me that it is such an epic thing to do, yet the reasoning behind it was just for new toy sales.

Roberto Orci and Michael Bay can go to Neverland Ranch and Die.
