Be careful with the statement "other mindless action-flicks". While a lot of movies fall into that category. Some can rise above the rest using other aspects than just story or something "not-mindless"; aspects like style, feeling, acting, flow of the story that give the movie an extra edge. But in the end, all the separate parts should come together and become something different entirely. Then you know it isn't just another Transformers movie. E.g. Shoot 'm Up was a mindless action-flick, but it was still better than Transformers, because it had style and flair.SecretNegative said:I wasn't racking on Bay, I was merely mentioned hypocrisy among people who doesn't like Bay, but like other mindless action-flicks.
That would be awesome. I like the "shades of grey" aspect, instead of an obvious, flat, all evil, bad guy, for no apparent reason than to just be evil.Abandon4093 said:And I get the distinct feeling Loki isn't the enemy in this. I think he's pulling a Kessler and basically preparing people of some impending doom. No matter how dickishly.
If Transformers can get away with their b.s. let us comic book fans have ONE movie where are heroes come together, k?Jasper Jeffs said:Well that was fucking cheesy. I imagine it'll be entertaining, but other than that it looks pretty fucking horrible.
If you'll look into his reasons for not returning, it was an issue of money and screen time. While I can agree that Norton is a decent enough actor, and can demand quite a bit when starring in a film, there are some things to consider about this role:Volf said:Well Edward Norton isn't going to be in it, so that's already one thing it has against it.
D:< WHAT DID YOU SAY!? - are you implying protagonists from lame movies can't come together and make a mediocre one?!??poiumty said:...
I don't see the big deal. It's just a bunch of random superheroes whose movies weren't even that great.
(don't hit me)
A dick? I don't see it as such, the guy who ruind the set just wasted a lot of time for everyone by being thoughtless about what he was doing.Monkeyman O said:Who cares? Christian Bale is definitely a dick. In fact hes not only a dick but hes a absolute **** and a asshole to boot [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0auwpvAU2YA]. But as long as his acting is good then that is all that should matter to the viewers.
Dude was trying to do his job. Made a mistake. He obviously did not do it intentionally. So if Bale had of snapped and stopped after say a minute then okay, I could understand that. At around the 2 minute mark he stops only to keep sniping at the dude and starts up again. Then when the dude explains himself Bale physically threatens him which itself crossed all lines.Boris Goodenough said:A dick?

He got slammed for being unprofessionel and Bale had an outburst.
Apparently the excuse for that was he was still in character, and that was part of his "method" acting.Monkeyman O said:Who cares? Christian Bale is definitely a dick.

I don't remember the shuffling of feet after the threat, since I heard it when it first came out. I guess what stood out the most was "you're a nice guy but we are done professionally.".Monkeyman O said:Dude was trying to do his job. Made a mistake. He obviously did not do it intentionally.

Bale is just a unprofessional little ***** who needs someone to kick 7 shades of shit out of him and put him in his place. I honestly hope the next person he threatens knocks a few of his teeth out.
Any other job, he would have been fired for threatening a co-worker. But because the company has millions of dollars tied up and his face on most the shots they can not afford to fire his prima donna ass like he deserves.
If you don't think Transformers & its "success" plays a HUGE part in all the screen time they feed his transformation sequences I don't think a debate about it would be a productive use of either of our timeimahobbit4062 said:Iron Man only popular because of Transformers? Seriously?Cyael said:I think Iron Man is only popular because of the popularity of Transformers :/ - as far as a super heroes go its so clear he's the least super of them all
I love Marvel to death & find the Avengers amazing but....compared to The New Avengers? Spiderman? Wolverine? Storm? *shakes head laughing* I think if there were a choice it'd be obvious which movie most would go see...
at the end of the day they're Comic Book Movies. that aren't catering to the people who read the Comics. /jpegOfTheProfessorIndicatingWhichWorldHeDoesn'tWantToLiveIn
And no shit he's the least super of them all, it's common knowledge that Tony Stark has no super powers.
And for those worrying about RDJ being the main focus, he is not. He originally wanted the movie to mainly be about him, because he's a selfish dick but the studio refused.
Don't worry tony, haters just gotta hate. And then rip on you for... yup, the same mindless "ripping on" that they just spewed forth. Gotta love the interwebz.SecretNegative said:1. I don't watch Moviebob, only like two or three of his videos ever.anthony87 said:Nawh bless. Somebody watched a little too much Moviebob and now thinks he can come off sounding just as witty or intelligent by tossing in a Michael Bay joke.SecretNegative said:The guy directing (Joss Whedon) has previously made Buffy: The vampire slayer. So much for this being a good movie. But let's judge this by the trailer instead. Lot's of explosions, Downey doing his act without much energy or passion to it, a guy replaces Edward Norton as Hulk, there's a girl and possibly lovestory in it and Loki has apperently become alive again somehow.
Nope, not so much hopes for this movie, it'll probably be another one with lot's of explosions with decent acting but a sup-par script. What is it with explosions that makes everyone go "AWESOME", but when, say, the Star Wars-prequels (or Bay-movies) also base the movie around explosions it's "DUUDE! NOT COOL! NEED MORE STORY!".
Several directors have proven that you can cram in both explosions and a good story. Oh yeah, Avengers, probably not gonna see it. Wasn't too fond of Thor or Iron-Man, and hasn't seen Captain America.
2. Moviebob isn't witty or intelligent in any way, and he has way, way too low standards and I rarely ever agree with him in most questions.
3. If you read my sentence again, I wasn't racking on Bay, I was merely mentioned hypocrisy among people who doesn't like Bay, but like other mindless action-flicks.
4. Don't be an asshole over the Internet just because you can.
5. Don't rack on other people just because they've got other opinions than you.
6. Don't make presumptions of other people and act as if those presumptions were true.
Because according to their numbers, people just aren't interested in characters outside of Batman or Superman. People clearly have problems with characters like Green Lantern and not the subpar films they appear in.For.I.Am.Mad said:I bet DC and WB are face palming right now. "How come we're not doing Justice League movie?"
How about Hawkeye and Black Widow? At the 360 scene, it was painfully obvious those two are seriously underpowered.Cyael said:I think Iron Man is only popular because of the popularity of Transformers :/ - as far as a super heroes go its so clear he's the least super of them all![]()
