You would if you were a nightshifter like me.
But til then, I guess you'll just have to spend your days at work skiving off on KMC, huh...?
Sounds like largely we are agreed.
Its sounds like much of your misuanderstanding of my position is down to the overlooking of the fact that what did well on box office does not reflect its content.
Heres the pattern forming with these movies:
The name, and the prospect of seeing the original characters on screen sell it.
The public go out in droves to see just that.
Then the public get jerked around for 2 hours with second rate plots from other movies, dick jokes and some idiot's stupid shallow, inane "love" story shit, whilst the decepticons are turned to faceless characterless shit.
The most of the descerning audience feel cheated.
Lots of folk who just like fast flashy, mindless drivel as long as they get to wolf whistle at Megan fox, laugh at a few dick jokes and see a big robot everynow and then rate it is the most genius film theyve seen.
I don't know what that means...but I do try to pass the down time on KMC. KMC is not blocked because it is mostly text based. Youtube is blocked, so are other streaming audio and video sites. It is to save bandwidth so enterprise operations can continue without undue slowness.
For the most part, yup. I rated it a little higher than you did. 7.5-8. I rated it 8 after seeing it a second time...but since the "excitement" has subsided, I'm going back down to a 7.5.
But that's your personal way of measuring, not Hollywood's or the general public.
Here's the pattern forming with these movies:
I view it as follows:
Lots of mainstream humor throughout the movie to appeal to the largest group of people possible.
Tons of action and visual affects to make most theaters look awesome and wow the watcher.
An extensive effort to incorporate as many fan service references and characters as possible, while not going overboard as to not offend the casual movie watcher. The Fallen was not what I hoped he would be. I expected a dark massive Transformer that was on fire.
And some writing to make room for a third.
Seems like a 7 or an 8 movie, just in the description, to me.
I downloaded a crappy version of TF2 just to see if i could edit it. and i managed to take an hour of crap out of it. basically i edited out that the transformers are a secret, i significantly reduced the parents, Leo and Simmons time on screen, removed the crap with the fallen till almost the end, removed most of the anticts in egypt and also made it so there is no devistator.
what i really find strange about hollywood is the depiction of the middle east. i don't know what it is...is it because they fear the dumbass american audience won't be able to figure out this is middle east or is it because they want to maintain this middle eastern stereotype of deserts and camels and women in hijabs. all this is UTTER GARBAGE. egypt is pretty developed, cairo and alexanderia particularly and people don't go around walking around in deserts like how they showed.
stupid hollywood.

Some of it is devoloped yes with big buildings and cars etc. , but there are still people living in shacks and pulling carts with a donkeys. I still agree with your statement that TF2 was definatly made for dumbass americans. I laughed when i saw where they dropped optimus and then they were fighting right beside the pyramids. Pyramids are 250miles west of that. Don't worry they also botched the washington air and space museum which in the movie some how backs onto the boneyard in arizona.
Yet it depicts the US military as some ethically whiter than white uber techno force that are presented in these situations like the english empire would be depicted in "fighting the savages" pictures.
Its like they exaggerate the negative stereotypes of side, and the positive ones of the other to fit that "The entire stinking world needs Team America to save it from its own primitiveness" message that the Military managed to get written into the movie in exchange for all that backing/cooperation.
I saw skyscrapers in the distance of downtown Cairo, when the Deceptions were making their landings for the battle. And we see the Jordanians coming in modern attack helicopters. We saw the command centre in America acting respectfully, asking the Jordanians for help and getting permission from Egypt to use airspace, instead of just assuming.
So the battle took place in the far outskirts, where houses were old and broken down. Go outside any major metro area, you'll find poorer looking areas.

It's coming out on DVD in a month so it should be availible to download a good quality soon, so i am going to edit it considerably and it will probably end up being 1hr and 40min long.
Hi...
Transformer II... No comments... I like that movie so much and most important Megan Fox.... Gorgeous.. But the graphics and all the resolution part just to good....

For once I agree with you. Megatron really should have been a gun, and changing size is really the only redeemable quality of Soundwave and Frenzy. Getting rid of that really got rid of anything resembling the characters.
This complaint reminds me of that sarah conner poster in the Terminator forums complaining that the registry changes on the plane in the end of Terminator 3.

that forest fight was too awesome to describe in words. Especially that wide shot of optimus getting blown like 300 feet over sams head... and then the epic autobot music kicks in as he kicks ass
Anyways, picked up this film on Blu-Ray, it's amazing, the forest fight scene looks great all extended and massive. I lost count how many fighting styles I saw Prime use.
