The Superhero Cinematic Civil War of Tomorrow Thread - Part 62

[SwordOfMorning]

I can think of a couple blockbuster flops that I'd say are worse than ROTF like Fant4stic, Terminator: Genisys, and Morbius.

Also I just remembered that Norbit exists. That one actually made money but the only edge it has over ROTF is that it's mercifully shorter. I'd also say all those terrible parodies that came out in the late '00s like Epic Movie and Meet the Spartans but those hardly count as movies.

Oh dude, I’d watch Fant4stic and Morbius even over the Michael Bay movies people claim are secretly good.

 

[flickchick85]

Anything particular in terms of it's presentation?

The excessive shaky cam and haphazard editing that didn’t give two s**t’s about screen direction making the action especially disorienting on top of the normal Bay sound made for pure sensory assault. That action in the desert was the main culprit and it dragged on for seemingly forever.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Oh dude, I’d watch Fant4stic and Morbius even over the Michael Bay movies people claim are secretly good.

I think the vast majority of his work sucks. But I have a soft spot for The Rock and rather enjoy Pain and Gain. But I feel you.

There are no “secretly good” Michael Bay movies. There are “secretly watchable” ones though, mostly from the ‘90’s.

Okay I do like Pain and Gain. Nasty stupid evil movie by a nasty stupid man.

Amen.

Because I don’t know what the hell some folks see in those Ninja Turtles movies he produced.

Paramount's new motto!

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Amen.

Because I don’t know what the hell some folks see in those Ninja Turtles movies he produced.

I mean, he didn't direct them. They aren't good but that's not really on him.

I once watched Norbit on a 13 hour flight. It literally made me nauseous. Worst movie I’ve ever seen. It’s also insanely racist.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I haven't seen much of Bay's filmography in recent years. I don't go back to his well basically ever. Only movie of his I remembered actually enjoying was The Rock. Beyond that, they range from watchable to trash and lean mostly trash

I would say that 13 Hours is actually quite good.

Ah yes his not-so-subtle Old James Bond film.

Cool! I would not.

 

[Babillygunn]

Ah yes his not-so-subtle Old James Bond film.

Nic Cage’s “that’s you. You’re the Rocket Man” scene is disgustingly cringe.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Ah yes his not-so-subtle Old James Bond film.

No I just meant The Rock.

 

[Babillygunn]

Cool! I would not.

 

[Lily Adler]

No I just meant The Rock.

Someone really liked Pain & Gain.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Cool! I would not.

You know @flickchick85 is fond of you when she's willing to talk to you like that and not add the

But in all seriousness, I have terrible taste in movies. But I don’t care. I like what I like.

 

[Drizzle]

The earth is over 4 billion years old and I'm just thankful I got to exist during a time when I could hear Sean Connery deliver the line "Winners go home and **** the prom queen."

So for that, thank you Michael Bay.

AmbuLAnce's ridiculous drone shots are truly something else, and would've been cool if they weren't under the control of Michael Bay. Movie is already trash enough, I didn't need the motion sickness too.

Wasn't there a rumor that those shots were tests for a Bay directed Superman sequel?

Sounds familiar. Superman isn't good enough for Bay, though. He's into more high brow work like Skibidi Toilet.
