with a horror movie Megan fox should be the first victim, the one that shows how serious things are and how the monster(Thing) kills.
Also why does Fox apear in movies with bad scripts, In tranformers problem was simple: less human charaters more Devastator. In Jeniffer's Body the "Attractive" women should be victims while a psychopathic monstrocity kills them, would Friday the Thriteenth be better I Jason had a better back story(As in while he was a sweet little boy) No.

I think if you have faith in your horror movie, you do the right thing for horror movies and cast good quality unknowns. (To sidestep the whole 'Megan Fox is pointless' thing for a moment)
With Megan Fox headlining, and on the front cover and in all the publicity, you know for a fact she's not going to get beheading in the opening scene.
For me that's one of the joys of the Final Destination movies, the Cube movies etc. No-one is famous, no-one has the movie riding on them, therefore no-one is safe.
Back to the main flow of the thread tho. Have movie directors not SEEN TV makeover shows? Hire good actors, then hand em over to makeup to get em to look how you want them. Saves you millions in paying overrated models pretending to be actors (and that goes for meathead jock male eye candy too).
Honestly, hire a good actress and a good make up team, cost $200,000 for the shoot duration instead of vapid bint who doesn't need as much Revlon and Rimmel and Maybelline stuff, and still charges $200k but can't convey an emotion past 'recently botoxed'.

He made ONE comment about her in Transformers. ONE comment. Why are you getting so bent out of shape about it?SilverUchiha said:
Sure, but the more we were supposed to like Garner, the more I kept thinking how much I'd hate to share a house with her. He's got all his cool stuff relegated to a corner and the entire place looks utterly antiseptic. The only interaction you ever see between the two of them is her being disapproving of himj. It'd be like living with your 5th grade teacher (or mine, anyway). And again, I go back to what kind of mother she's going to be when the kid turns out to be into extreme boogie boarding instead of law school.MovieBob said:
@ Xocrates :
I percieved a different message (more along the lines of "People would do anything to escape death, even kill innocent humans"). But I agree that the script wasn't great. However, on a personal note, I had a good experience with the rest of the movie. Granted, there were stupid things all over the place, but it didn't feel like it was trying to appeal to my most basic instincts, the dialogs weren't too bad (even if the characters weren't great), and the film wasn't insulting any specific group of people. There weren't any atrocious jokes or pseudo-humorous situations, and the plot wasn't predictable. Finally, I felt that it was wrapped-up in an interesting way, in terms of how the movie was shot.
For me, it was an average movie. Other than that, I guess it depends on how much you care about the details of the story or just the overall experience, and what "bad" is for you (I can be tolerant at times).
Alternatives include :
Shia LeCon (TheIdiot)
Shia Leboeuf (TheSteer = correct spelling of the original name. Plus calling someone a Boeuf in french is like calling him an brutal idiot)
Shia Lebeauf (Beauf refer to someone who's stupid, unelegant, who can't think by himself but who then never wants to change his mind)
Shia Lecrétin
Shia L'abruti
you name it...

Because there's nothing to understand. This concept is flawed because purity is related to a religious point of view. And when you're not religious... It's meaningless when you're talking about people.
Sound like Shia TheBath to me ^^

Fair enough, I equate them only to the point that they both seem to get movies made on the strength of their name.Xocrates said:
...actually, come to think of it, I don't think Bay movies have a script.
So when Megan Fox compared Michael Bay to Hitler that would have been like hearing the pot being racist towards the kettle?
megan fox = paris hilton
overblown and used to the point where you could throw a hot dog inside her and she wouldnt feel it.

Without Josh Wheedon for a start. YOu make your own mind up on that one.creatiwe said:
I'm glad that Bob's reviewed this as there was an off-chance I would have gone to see this as a dare. No chance now, I think I'll go for Sorority Row, and I already know how shit that one is.
Actually, that was kind of my point. The Island through all its plot holes and stupidity, at least manages to be coherent, placing it above a significant portion of other Michael Bay movies. One of the problems with the Island is that it is utterly forgettable, ironically because it isn't bad enough.Artheval_Pe said:
That made being insulted by it that much easier, it isn't bad enough for other problems to overcome it, and it isn't good enough to be forgivable.
Megan fox is not hot. She looks like an expensive overused hooker.
Anyways, thanks for the review.

moviebob i understand that the cavalcade of shitty movies this year has been hard... it's been hard for all of us. and i understand that over the last 5 or six years the cavalcade of wonderful comic book ideas turned into movies has been like watching a beautiful creative flower get hit by a cruise missle. i get that. because i am one of those people that read comics books when i was ten. i watched GI joe and tranformers cartoons. No i did not like tranformers and i especially didn't like tranformers two... except where optimus goes whoopass on the decepticons for about half a minute, granted the constant switches to shia lebouf were annoying and so was his little girl screaming. and meagan fox only compounded problems that movie already had.
but to shit on her acting when the only thing she's been in is two micheal bay movies and a crappy slasher horror flick. for any actor and or actress to really bloom is to have a decent movie. would this movie have been any better if any other teen actress had played it? no it wouldn't have been better because putting meagan fox aside that movie had problems that were beyond help many of which you pointed out. if she had been silk spectre 2 in watchmen would that movie have been any worse? no because that movie had other thing working for it besdies the actors.
she's only been a bit part player for most of her young career with the exceptions of ocean ave. and how to lose friends and alienate people. and imdb the director of that movie. look at what she has done. the answer is nothing. she directed one movie she wrote aeon flux which sucked, one episode of the L word and jennifer's body. can you blame meagan fox for not being good in a movie when it is being directed by either someoen who hasn't directed anything or micheal bay? ask anybody remotely related to movies and they will tell you that if the acting is bad it's one part the actor and two parts the director.
all i'm saying is did you pick this movie over taking woodstock becasue you wanted to shit on meagan fox for being part of the slaughter of tranformers or did you actually think something good was going to come out of this movie?

Don't hold back, Bob. Tell us what you really think. haha. I agree about Megan Fox. Hot people in Hollywood are a dime a dozen, and I hope she's saving her money for when someone younger and hotter comes along (also known as 2010). Just ask Jessica Alba...
I'm glad MovieBob is of a like mind that Megan Fox is overrated. Seriously, she's sleazy-stripper hot, sure, but in no way does that equate to beautiful or memorable.....or talented.
Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman.....THOSE women are hot, memorable, talented AND beautiful.
Also, Diablo Cody was a stripper? huh, never knew that. Weird.
Oh yeah, and what the hell Bob, Mallrats was great. It's one of Kevein Smith's better movies.

Yeowtch, Bob just totally hit the nail on the head with that one. As Demon Hunter's song "Sixteen" is playing in my head right now I'm waiting to see if Lilith the Queen comes to take Megan Fox away after her Sixteenth bloody minute of fame. Because, you know, eye candy women are all Succubi and servants of Lucifer (who is also a chick by the way)
I'm going to get called out on this but I'm just being facetious.

Hey Bob, I agree with you (like 90% of everyone else here). Just been wondering though, what do you think of Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day? It's apparently coming out on Oct. 30, '09. Love to hear you're opinion on it when it comes around.
PS: I'm a big fan of The Game Overthinker vids you've been doing. I've been watching since you did episode 2!
