I enjoyed the Transformers movies quite a lot actually so difference of opinion I guess.
Here's the big point.
It's not an opinion.
Bay's movies - by any quantitative measure of quality - are not good movies. They're successful, but then so are a number of atrocious and wonderful movies.
The selling of these movies IS astounding, and we both agree on that. But Bay has nothing to do with that.
Your enjoyment of it though makes no difference to whether the movie was good/bad/successful or not.
It just meant you enjoyed it.
Equally,
Meet The Spartans made nearly 200% profit. Was it a good film?
The film received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics. Rotten Tomatoes ranked the film 25th in the 100 worst reviewed films of the 2000s, with a rating of 2%." Metacritic reported the film had an average score of 9 out of 100, based on 11 reviews ? indicating "extreme dislike or disgust" and being the worst received film by the director on the site.
That makes it a film that is profitable to remake. There are also people who liked that film.
For a film that ranks lower than
The Hangoverart 2, it's still worth re-making.
You know what else ranks lower than that movie?
Dark of the Moon.
That doesn't make it worthwhile.
