THat's my point. Her and literally millions just like her. She's certainly not unique; hell she doesn't even come from a rare phenotype. I don't see why people obsess.

Geeks watch geek movies. Fox appeared in one of the highest grossing geek movies of all time. Geeks saw her, and obsessed. If another girl had been in the role, we geeks would be obsessing over that girl instead.

Wrexasaur wrote:Can I ask why you liked it Garret?
The reason I did not like it is because I simply could not follow what the feth was going on, and no amount of CGI makes up for poorly planned fight scenes. Giant robots or no, Transformers 2 was simply not Evangelion. Which, in all honesty, I got a bit bored with as well.
How dare you compare Tf2 to anime! No movie is that bad (except another anime I guess).
Joking aside , what did you expect from the movie?
It had:
Giant Robots
Explosions
Hot chick(s)
Epic battle scenes
Awesome CGI
If you were expecting something else from a movie about giant alien robots that turn into stuff you need to lower your expectations a bit.
I'm not saying it was a great movie but it's no uwe boll flick.

Can we expect it to be competently written and executed? The first was no great art but it least was competent. T2 was just a mess.

No in actuality he's asking if thats your normal state and if so, party at Wrex's house!!!

T1 was nice. I´m still seething every time someone mentions T2:RotF. I know that it´s the average summer blockbuster but why didn´t Mr Mann bother to tidy up the script a little bit. oh I get it! it´s Mr Mann writing, so the best we can hope is a robot babbling some random and senseless line before another robot rips him to pieces.

TF2 is only the second ever film I have felt like walking out of (the first being the Blair Witch Project, which I did actually walk out of).
Only the fact that I had paid quite a lot of money to see it (damn you inflation!) and a sense of morbid curiosity shared with my GF over how this wreck of a film would go kept us in the cinema.
TF1 was bearable, TF2 was terrible. I don't think I am even going to bother going to see TF3.
I understood completely what was going on with the movie, maybe it was just me though. My child show was transformers so that probably helped. i liked both movies alot, seriously as a kid i watched the tv cartoon show and imagined the awsum sauce involved within it (FIRE MIDDLE LAZOR!) and when i saw it in amazing CGI's and special effects i was transfixed, like when one of the primes sacificies himself to fully pimp out optimus prime and him going hardcore, i loved it. the fight scenes were epic too.
well, i do like fight scenes, and the best fight scene i think i have witnessed (with CGI's etc) was when optimus prime was trying to save sam in the reserve (even tho he died )
Yes if I see it again, it will be for that scene and that scene alone. Thats ultimate Optimus.

sebster was pretty much is right on in his analysis of the 2nd movie. The thing is, I loved the first movie, and so, was highly anticipating the 2nd one. I was in utter amazement at how bad the 2nd one was, as compared to the first one.

Word. Even rum and bloodloss couldn't cover how bad it was. When I, GG, and Sebster agree on something you know that movie was ed up.

The first one was "meh" for me. The second film took everything that was bad about the first film (namely most of the human characters, crap plot and dialogue, badly shot action sequences) and drew them out over 2.5 hours (or however long the bloody thing is, certainly seems like it lasts forever).
After the first one, I was not expecting a masterpiece, but I have to say that if Bay had personally turned up and raped me using his perverted method of choice, it could not have been as bad as watching that piece of effluent he turned out and packaged as TF2.
Needless to say, I will not be going to see TF3, even on the very slim chance that it is not terrible.
I never had Transformer toys. I haven't seen either of the movies. And I probably never will. And I didn't go see GI Joe either. I had lots and lots of Star Wars toys, but that was the good ol' days, when they made toys after the movie was a hit, not a movie from hit toys!
And I don't think Megan Fox is anything special. She's attractive, but in about 10 years, I bet she's forgotten just like the girl that used to be in those movies...what's her name? You know the one. In those movies with the killer. Hmmm......

Star Wars was the first to release the toys along side the movie, as well as lunch boxes, posters, and Princess Leia spank material, err, official movie magazines. One of the things Star Wars (the movie, not the franchise) is remembered for is revolutionizing film merchandising.

Sort of. Worried about inadequate studio support for Star Wars, Lucas renegotiated the deal for Star Wars, picking up the merchandising deal with the idea that if worst comes to worst he could print some t-shirts to advertise his movie. The film was a huge hit, and Lucas kicked the merchandising machine into full gear.
By the time the second film came around you had toy lines being released at the same time as the movie. In that short period of time merchandising had turned from a minor side issue to a primary source of revenue.

It isn't really 'sort of'. All you gave was the reason why they did what they did. I just said what they did.
I said 'sort of' because it isn't really true to say films like Star Wars were made when it wasn't about toys, or that Star Wars was made with toys in mind. Its that Star Wars was the movie that changed that, made toys a big deal.
