And that is one of my major problems with The Rock, even with a great cast, that film was hopeless. I don't care who you are, but when you have a $|-|IT@55 script, nothing and noone can save a film. I watch A LOT of movies, and I have seen my fair share of "bad" movies, but typically, I have no problem sitting through until the end. The Rock is one of the few movies I actually turned off before the end, it was that bad. If you have the budget and the cast, there is no reason to make trash like this. Like I said before, his movies are insulting. You basically feel like he is saying to the audience, "I know you are dumb, so I know I can just do this and you won't even care or notice, and I just want to make a quick, Hollywood summer blockbuster so I can go by another house. So eat up my fellow idiot Americans, eat up!"Originally Posted by tom4bren
I like movies that make you think. Movies that move you in one way or another. After a Michael Bay flick, you just walk away and never think about it again.
I started paying attention to directors more once I got Netflix. I would see a movie that I liked, and then que up all the films by that director. In many cases it has paid off with a multitude of excellent movie experiences. And while directors typically get all the credit, there are certainly directors who make some good movies and some not so good, and the good ones are usually a result of great screen writers, f/x teams and of course the cast. Then there are directors that are consistently awesome and those that consistently suck (Mr. Bay being one of those that sucks).
