Transformers?! Amen to that. I watched the first one in the theater and was disappointed.

I watched the second on tv and fell asleep and couldn't be bothered to watch it again .

And I share your sentiment on recent hollywood movies. What is alarming is that they seem to have lost significant portion of humanistic feeling in them. I can no longer relate to the characters in most movies. The portrayal of characters are either weak or almost nonexistent. I forget most movies I watch nowadays within hours watching them and that's a testament of how much impression the movies had on me. The actions are loud but the plot and acting fail miserably

But at some point early on I leaned over to my then boyfriend and said, "I'm giving this movie five more minutes, then I'm outta here."

Five minutes later, I was outta there.

*shrugs*

On the other hand, the same "then boyfriend" went with me to see the re-release of the first Star Wars movie (he had never seen any of them - don't ask me how, because he said it wasn't because he made a point of avoiding them). After it was over he got up and said "Oh well I guess that's what some people consider a good movie."

So, it's all subjective. My brother-in-law thinks Van Helsing is Teh Awesome and loves it so much he bought a copy so he could watch it whenever he felt like it. I saw it in the theater with another Jackman/Wolverine fan who's a close friend and the most we got out of it was a few laughs at how bad it was.

Actually, I am pretty sure that the titile of worst B-Movie of all time goes to the infamous Plan 9 from Outer Space.


http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052077/

"Future events such as these will affect you in the future"

Magnificent.

Good point. I'm not a person with a great deal of appreciation for the arts. I know they're important, and occasionaly I see a little bit of why, but for the most part they just escape me entirely, so it doesn't surprise me that such a thing never occurred to me.
