You have terrible taste in films...
I died a little on the inside when I saw the trailer for the Live-Action DRAGONBALL movie. Same applies for the Street Fighter: Chung Li movie. Motion Picture Companies are really reaching for something to put on screen. If they are going to make a Dragonball movie, what will come next? Live action Pokemon? Or Yu-Gi-Oh!?

I'm gonna defend Michael Bay here for once. I think that the Transformers franchise is perfect for him, personally. People always give him shit but he's actually a pretty talented action director. I mean, if you look at his filmography, none of his films are groundbreaking, but nearly all of them are entertaining action films (The Rock, Armageddon, Bad Boys 2). And what do people want in a Transformers film? An engaging intellectual story? Hell no. People want to see big ****ing robots taking each other down and the occassional shot of Megan Fox looking hot. That's what I expect and Bay's the perfect director for that. Just be glad he isn't directing a Charlie Kaufman script or something. Anyway, point is, this franchise is fun, disposable action.
As for Underworld, I guess the same could be said, although I think those movies are less fun. The first two were decent vampire-action films, I haven't had the urge to see the third, I'll probably see it when it comes out on dvd.
I do, however, think that there are people who think these are the best films out there, which is simply wrong. But for someone like me, who I'd say has good taste in film, what's wrong with disposable fun every now and then?
And no, these films are not the epitome of poor filmmaking. Watch Uwe Boll or something and then tell me Michael Bay is a poor filmmaker.
I can't believe no one's brought this up, as it's targeting a 2009 release.

It's Scorsese, people, and it sounds great! I'm gonna have to read the book now...
