Bay's movies tend to suck in the usual ways (ADD editing, terrible dialogue, etc.), but this time he added extreme close-ups during action scenes, so you can't tell what the heck is going on. Overall, <EM>TF</EM> was just plain stoopid. But, you are right that it is silly to complain about a movie like this. And I actually dug the attack scene in <EM>Pearl Harbor</EM>...the trite love triangle and everything else, not so much.<BR/><BR/>Ang Lee's <EM>Hulk</EM> was also flawed: too much set up and pyschologial gobbledy-gook, not enough Hulk Smash.<BR/><BR/>There can be a middle ground for summer popcorn flicks. Just look at the <EM>Bourne</EM> movies (my only criticism with them is the camera work in the Greengrass ones). Smart <EM>and</EM> action packed.<BR/><BR/><EM>Hitman</EM> was crap, despite all of the violence and boobies.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of Luc Besson, can you believe that I've never seen <EM>The Professional</EM>? I need to remedy that.Micahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07866664453584849339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432483.post-64710469669528380162007-12-13T22:40:00.000-05:002007-12-13T22:40:00.000-05:00you enjoyed parts of Pearl Harbor but you think he...you enjoyed parts of Pearl Harbor but you think he destroyed the Transformers?<BR/><BR/>micah, you ignorant slut, gimme a break. they finally found a movie perfect for him, one that doesn't bastardize a national travesty (thank God they didn't let him near Flight 93 or the Twin Towers or something) yet is a perfectly cheesebally all-balls-out-summer-bombast and you complain? did you want him to Ang Lee this Hulk? this just doesn't make sense.<BR/><BR/>on another note, Hitman does look like a piece of 'wanna-be-Luc-Bresson' computer-animated s*h*i*t.jasdyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17492591447246532970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9432483.post-24691177289482941392007-12-13T10:56:00.000-05:002007-12-13T10:56:00.000-05:00YouTube is blocked here at work, so I'll have to c...YouTube is blocked here at work, so I'll have to check that video out tonight. But consider yourself lucky.
