But you're right, that doesn't mean you can't give a good story and people will ignore it.<br /><br />IRON MAN anyone? STAR TREK? DARK freakin' KNIGHT?<br /><br />But what really, really, really galls me about saying that Transformers is all about watching stuff get blown up is that the action is so hard to make out. It's shot and edited so frenetically, that it doesn't truly satisfy my desire to see stuff blow up.DGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01302995272029761401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047429527902019331.post-11434747466418611732009-07-09T15:33:00.086-07:002009-07-09T15:33:00.086-07:00The strange thing is that, most of the arguments a...The strange thing is that, most of the arguments about movies like Transformers revolve around the mindless explosion, CGI overload and people's affinity towards things like that.<br /><br />In my mind if Transformers (or Cloverfield, or any CGI heavy action flick ), had stuck only to mindless explosion and nonsensical action, it wouldn't be that bad. Let's face it they do have kickass special effect which is not something that every action movie can boast of (Wolverine, I am looking at you). But these movies try to put a human factor in there but use bad actors and screenplay.<br /><br />I would gladly watch Transformers if it had 2 hours of Robots fighting, and consider it a CGI demo. But what I won't watch is bad acting and bad dialogue stuffed between awesome CGI.Parthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10425661461747777056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047429527902019331.post-69065068525889277812009-07-09T15:26:38.365-07:002009-07-09T15:26:38.365-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Parthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10425661461747777056noreply@blogger.com
