First one was neat with the way they handled the romance as something they were trying to play to the audience. That was clever.

If the sequels fall into relationship drama bullshit then I'm sorely disappointed.

Im glad Im not the only one who thought the Muttations at the end of the Hunger games was a WTF moment... that was such a dumb ending...

I remember seeing part of it once and someone's face was half bright blue and half bright orange. It was absurd.

Wait, the romance thing really becomes a central issue in the other two books? Because I guess they don't have more important things to worry about? Man I hate romantic plot tumors.

#191756 ilsemmr Fri, 11th May '12 6:58:21 PM from Austin

Yeah... WTF. But I really like the first book. And I like the action scenes. But when it's 50% action and 50% romance, I start getting annoyed...

I hope they tone it down for the sequels to be honest and put more emphasis on the actual plot going on. I mean, there's all this socioeconomic and political tension going on. It's interesting. And President Snow, I thought, was actually kind of a credible villain.

This

pretty much sums up my complaints about the Transformers movies.

The scripting and the way the dialogue is written in the Transformers movies makes me just want to rip my fucking eyes out. So much whining, and screaming, and complaining, and rapid fire dialogue and freak-outs.

I like the creativity the author puts into it for the actual world, but when the love triangle gets so in your face like that, it becomes really annoying. I like romance to kind of build up slowly. And when the romance aspect overtakes the "YOU'RE IN A FREAKING ALTERNATE UNIVERSE AND THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON!" plot, I lost my respect for the series. But the first one's good because the romance aspect is kind of hidden.

Replace love triangle with philosophy and you've just described His Dark Materials.

Well, complaining about product placement in Transformers seems a rather oblivious complaint.

Philosophy my rear end.

I enjoyed 1 and 3.

I read the Dark Materials series a long time ago, when I was in the 7th grade, so I didn't really understand it. I read Lord of the Rings in the seventh grade as well and I admit that I was confused....

I honestly couldn't care less about Optimus Prime

LOTR was a bit boring for me. I like the movies since they condense the story and take out a lot of the Purple P Rose stuff.

I bought BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend today, and holy SHIT Unlimited Rachel is hard! That's seriously the first time I've thrown my controller in pure rage, and the first time I've cussed like that at a game in a long long time. Fun as hell otherwise though.

Derp.

#191768 Japanese Teeth Fri, 11th May '12 7:02:11 PM from Meinong's jungle

Seriously, if you make a movie about giant robots 95% of the movie should feature them fighting each other. The other 5% is witty one-liners.

Speaking of movie bullshit, I saw the Battleship trailer the other day, and I swear they were lifting the alien sound effects and the trailer music straight from Transformers.

#191770 Pannic Fri, 11th May '12 7:02:16 PM

As far as HDM goes, first one was okay, second one pissed me off, and third was just "...okay, I guess. That was certainly a book."

Lord of the Rings I think was a bit beyond my reading level. I admit I had to re-read the Helm's Deep chapter a few times because I went "okay, now they're here stuff stuff stuff wait they're fighting now?"

Anyway, time for me to watch Korra episode 5 now.

Bumblebee pees on a bad guy. That's basically all I really remember from the movie. I saw it a while ago. Although I also remember Megan Fox dressed in ultra skimpy clothing and fixing a car. I think that's a really specific fetish right there, but I'm not sure...

What's this "Transformers" thing you guys are complaining about?

#191774 stevebat Fri, 11th May '12 7:03:17 PM

as far as robots fighting goes Real Steel was a decent movie at least. Despite lifting the plot of Rocky wholesale.
