January 19, 2012 5:49 pm So much for it not happening so quickly eh? I never thought they would pull the trigger on this. I didnt like it at first, but after seeing some of the different treatments of the logo type, it's growing on me.
January 17, 2012 9:55 pm This wont be a logo used on the front covers of the comic books. Probably more of an internal letterhead for the company than anything else.The "dc swoosh" logo is kind of perfect for all the comic book applications for the company its simple, and dynamic at the same time. This new one is a snoozer.
November 9, 2011 11:29 pm Probably because it's not all that funny. I personally wouldn't be offended by it but c'mon man. The girl was gutted like a pig and from what I understand the monsters tore her unborn child from her belly. Not exactly a chuckle inducing costume.
July 24, 2011 12:53 am I think it's more fun to take it as a "Raiders" reference.
Am I crazy to think that Red Skull actually got transported to Asgard or one of the other realms. The "death" effect looked suspiciously like the Bifrost effect from Thor.
I kinda liked this one a lot. It delivered what it was supposed to deliver and nothing more: Big ol' robots beating the shit out of each other, property damage be damned. I walked out of the theater feeling that I got my money's worth. Rosie H. Whitley was perfectly fine in the role she was supposed to play. Considering her lack of experience in front of the movie camera, I think she did well enough to not deserve some of the ire we have been reading about her. The Beef was the Beef and he did a good job as well. I think he has some good comedic timing.
There seems to be a lot of "all or nothing hyperbole" flying around about this one. If it wasn't awesome then it most definitely sucked. I agree with a lot of what JNewcomb said earlier. People have to have common sense when it comes to their choice of entertainment. Michael Bay's movies all seem to be reviewed the same way: Big explosions, slow-mo, gratuitous shot of comely ladies weak plot and exposition, blah, blah, blah. Common sense would tell most people to stay away from these abominations. Yet, his movies seem to make a shit ton of money and he never seems to be wanting for employment. Why? Because despite all the bitching, people, for some reason or another seem to enjoy his work on screen and throw money at it (most of us included). For Christ's sake Stephen freaking Spielberg got behind these supposed unholy affronts on good taste not one, not two but three times. You are going to see a movie about giant walking, talking, transforming robots. Stop and say that out loud to yourself and really listen to what you are saying. Go ahead, I'll wait. No really, do it. Okay. Then say that said movie about walking, talking, transforming robots somehow missed the mark by being weakly written or had plot holes. It's ridiculous. All of these genre movies are ridiculous and can be torn apart if you look too closely. Even the supposed "classics" are not immune. I may be too forgiving in my criticism for movies and my entertainment in general but I can guarantee you that I'm a lot more satisfied in my moviegoing experience.
Highlights: Optimus Prime and Bumblebee kicking ass and tearing out spines. Frances McDormand introducing the Wreckers as assholes. The Beef screaming like a bitch during that scene where Bumblebee transforms from car to robot and back while shuffling the Beef in and out of the passenger seat. Mama Beef commenting on the new Beef-mobile as a sad piece of shit. The whole 3-D experience. Wheelie and the other little robot were amusing. Alan Tudyk going all "Born Identity" in that mexicanrussian standoff scene. The whole idea of the real reason behind the race to the moon and the inclusion of Buzz Aldrin. Sentinel Prime reciting the "Needs of the many..." Spock line. The establishing shot of Rosie H. Whitley. (I think I heard the kids in the row in front of me spontaneously go through puberty during this one.) Optimus Prime and Bumblebee kicking ass and shooting off heads.
