Funny you should say that, went to see his latest Transformers 3 and it was bad, very bad. Bad dialog, bad editing, bad acting (Chinese guy, not funny at all) Waste of my time watching this.

If you go watch transformer 3, it is to see cars, robots, and explosions. Anything else is just a not worth seeing. I went to watch 300 for the action, blood, and badassery... while my gf went to watch it for the half nekkid men and their 8 pack abs.
none of us went to watch it for storyline :P

I actually enjoyed 300 and found the storyline appealing. DOTM just did my head in. Bay never learned from the mistakes of ROTF.

ofcourse, 300 was very entertaining, but as what I mean about using 300 was mostly that it's an action film and story was never really meant to be the main standing point. Michael Bay just took action films to a newer low.

Agreed on that one. I just watched The Island and thoroughly enjoyed that movie. Where did he go so wrong with this one.

I believe Bay's more reserved approach to The island may be due to the fat that Spielberg was originally slated to direct the movie and Bay just took over the reins so to speak.

So glad to see Bay and his Transformers get spanked by a bunch of pubescent wizards.

you know... for all the hype that comes with the HP series... I still have not had the chance to watch the last HP.... I need to drag someone to go watch it.. and if any of you spoil it for me, I will send an internet punch your way :P

You will NOT be disappointed. I was never into HP (always thought they were a little too young for my liking) However after watching them I have to say I am very impressed by what I have seen. Despite some of the wooden acting by Radcliffe.

The themes of the final Harry Potter were a lot more mature. So were the attitudes of the kids. There was genuine fear this time, less fooling around. It was all the better for it IMO.

I have only seen from 5 onwards. I have 1-3 Steelbooks on their way to me and the rest when they come out. I look forward to watching from the beginning.
