Stevo985 Posted June 27, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2013 Transformers is bollocks. No, bollocks are better than Transformers. Transformers is... arse hair. Shit flecked arse hair. I'm with Gareth. The first one was just about passable. Transformers 2 was absolutely terrible. Didn't bother with 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 27, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 27, 2013 Well then you're not with Gareth. We were only talking about the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethRDR Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I lump the second one in with the first one in my head, it's all just one big entity of shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted June 27, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2013 I read a brilliant article a few years ago which talked about Transformers and how awful from a directing POV it really was. Some of the basic schoolboy errors in the camerawork (emphasis given to triviality, no thought for the scale of shot etc) were truly awful. Bay really is a hack.

Guest Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I was entertained whilst watching it, so I'm good. Basically I have 2 types of film. Ones that bore me, ones that entertain me. If I leave the cinema entertained then the film has done it's job. I really can't be arsed to start analysing the camera work and crap like that.

I'm kinda in the same boat .... but that stance also lead to accusations that I just "didn't get it" when it came to certain films I.e Inception .. Boring and No Country for old men ... slightly boring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I don't think it is a case of not 'getting it'. For me, at least, people put enormous effort into sound, cinematography, script etc, so I think it is only fair to appreciate it rather than ignore it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a popcorn film like Transformers or Avengers Assemble where you're supposed to leave your brain at the door, then it has either entertained me or it hasn't. I go no deeper than that. If it's something else then I can and will analyse further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really can't be arsed to start analysing the camera work and crap like that. Pretty much the same here. I think I mentioned it before, but you can tell whether a movie is "good" or not, but ultimately it's irrelevant to me. What matters is whether you're entertained. Man of Steel certainly isn't a great movie, far from it. But I was very, very entertained by it. Well worth watching on the big screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted June 27, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2013 (edited) I read a brilliant article a few years ago which talked about Transformers and how awful from a directing POV it really was. Some of the basic schoolboy errors in the camerawork (emphasis given to triviality, no thought for the scale of shot etc) were truly awful. Bay really is a hack. Unless that article was written by someone who had actually directed a film they dont really have a leg to stand on, just opinion. Nobody does, you either enjoy it or not, its all opinion same for any critic or bloke in the street. If the camera work is good then its just one of many steps to it being a good film, probably the most important being the script. That's not the point I was making. The article pointed out basic technical flaws in his direction, nothing to do with how much he (the writer) enjoyed the movie (or didn't). Cold, hard facts about the direction. He's a poor director.

Designer1 Posted June 27, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted June 27, 2013 Just got back from World War Z - enjoyed it overall, think it suffered a little from being a collection of set pieces rather than a coherent narrative but it whizzed along at a fair pace and Mr.Pitt was his usual solid self.
