Movies

It actually does have a story line, M.Bay did impeccable research into the movie, and deserves credit ***minor spoiler alert****

islander, this is not directed at you, it's just your forum post that I'm choosing to add my posting to.  People have been repeatedly knocking this movie for its lack of intelligent design.

Instead of getting into all the research and historical accuracies Bay put into this, I'll just state one thing.....how many other people actually knew the story of "The Fallen" before this movie came out?  None.  Unlike the writers of GIJOE, who tried to recreate a childhood legend, MBay stuck with the story and got a huge number of people interested.

Discussion: So how much do we think [TFRM2] will make when all is said and done? secretstalker Jun 28, 14:10

My guess is $385 million. I think this is going to drop quickly with all the competition out there in July. {nm} Movie Cub Jun 28, 14:13

its not a very good movie, but it does provide a few easy thrills so i 'll say 412.50 {nm} islander Jun 28, 14:37

What part of "we need new memes for the new HSX" did you miss? :) (NM) secretstalker Jun 28, 14:41

I don't think competition will prove much of a factor; instead, I think it is a pretty pure "repeat business" question. I haven't seen... second gary Jun 28, 15:01

i've seen it 3 times already. i really enjoyed it. i don't go to summer movies to see a great story or riveting acting. those who expect any LuCiFeR Jun 28, 16:48

no offense, but its people like you that is what is wrong with this country. people who want something more are "just plain stupid"? wth??? islander Jun 28, 16:55

you said "dude" {nm} RazorHawk Jun 28, 17:20

first of all, how the h*ll could that not be taken as offensive? second, when it comes to movies, peoples likes and dislikes don't really LuCiFeR Jun 28, 18:37

Didn't you hate Wall-E? {nm} Qale Jun 28, 19:08

you mean since I didnt like wall-e, I'm whats wrong with this country? lol {nm} islander Jun 28, 19:21

Would you concede that "Iron Man," "Spider-Man" or "Spider-Man 2" or "The Dark Knight" or the LOTR films might lead someone to hope for... second gary Jun 28, 17:28

i loved ironman and spiderman. thought the 2 sequels(spiderman2 and dark knight) were good, but i had mild issues with both. well, more with LuCiFeR Jun 28, 18:25

No, those who don't expect more are settling for being pandered to. There's no reason why a movie can't be a lot of fun AND high quality. {nm} Cuzzin Todd Jun 29, 10:30

I have a hard time seeing it missing 400M over the total run. shadowking Jun 28, 17:57

A little over 400M Only needs a 2X from 5 day, July 4th should help out 2nd weekend drop. {nm} JackO Jun 28, 18:02
