I was talking with a friend yesterday who had just saw the movie and he liked it despite the flaws. As we were talking he brought up some valid points about people whinning and complaining about the film and the humor. First the humor that is in this movie is also in Movies like 40 year old virgin, Superbad, etc. People love The Hangover but it as a guy in a man thong it the first 5 mintues or so of the movie and FULL male nudity later on the naked Asian guy in the trunk of the car. Even Family guy has immature and sometimes in bad taste jokes on the show as well. But this movie has that kind of humor in and all of a sudden its a crime and awful etc. Well you should hate all the movies and show that I mention above. I know the haters will come with bs saying that this is a action movie or whatever but still the humor is the same as some other movies. ( I like the family guy and the movies that was listed FYI).
Second the general public seems to love these movies because FIRST and Foremost they are meant to entertain NOT to be taken SUPER SERIOUS like you haters would anyalze every aspect of it. The general public does not see this movies solely for a story they see them to be entertained and to watch Robots fight each other. Its kind of like people who saw the new friday the 13th movie they just wanted to see people get killed. That movie had a paper thin story and was top at the box office. Sure this movie had plot holes but NO movie is perfect. Even the Dark Knight had plotholes and things that were not really nesscary. Example Gordon says Two- Face killed 5 people but they NEVER show or mention WHO those 5 people were. We only see Two- Face kill 2 maybe 3 people (We dont know if Maroni survived the car crash). Also the Hong kong scenes while cool were not really nesscary to the overall story. Lou was just a minor character, Also the the Resse arch with him finding out that Bruce was batman really could have been cut they could have waited and used that story arch for the 3rd movie. I also would have liked to have know a little bit of the Jokers background/ Origins we get two different stories from the joker but who knows which is the truth lol. ( And yea I know its from the killing joke graphic novel).
So you see any movie can be nitpicked and analyzed if you WANT to look for things to complain and whine about. The Transformers movies may be chessy and have flaws with the story but I enjoyed it and so did LOTS of other people as well. 200 million at the box office is very strong and it shows that people didnt care what the critics said about the movie ( The movie got HUGE applause at both sold out showings that I went to over the weekend). The movie dosent take its self seriously it should be obvious by the humor it meant to ENTERTAIN people!! Haters lighten up not every movie has to be like a oscar contender or a dark knight to be good. End Rant!!
