Have we become spoiled by SFX?
Yeah...this generation/society have become jaded and desentisized to the glorious effects of today's movies. I haven't though. I LOVE slow building horror movies that favors suspense and atsmoshere over blood and gore ANY DAY! But I have a guilty pleasure spot for cheesy bloody over the top torture porn laden with CGI. lol. People don't like Transformers because they are embarrased to admit that they enjoy a mindless summer popcorn flick that doesn't require thinking. It's nothing to be ashamed of, people. It's a movie for ENTERTAINMNET! Go watch some slow Oscar caliber flick if you want intellectual growth during your movie watching. I'm a fan of deep mind benders, but I also know how to let my guards down and enjoy the awesome visuals of a braindead blockbuster! I LOVED watching Transformers 1 in the theaters, and I thought part two was okay when I rented it from Hastings. Not as good as one though. I'll definately be checking out Dark of the Moon. It opens on my birthday! June 29th! People seem to bash Michael Bay's films for being action over thought provoking, but if his movies suck, then why do they make millions upon millions of dollars? Hemust be doing something right! Even the horror remakes he's been involved with...The Amityville Horror, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre...were very successful. Two of his movies....Armageadon and The Rock...have even been added to The Criterion Collection...a movie company that specializes in art house films filled with deep thought and social messages of the time. I still appreciate the CGI of Jurassic Park, T2: Judgement Day, and Lord of the Rings. I know the film makers take alot of time and money into making them look as awesome as they do in the movies. :D
