[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 5521989, member: 34175"] You need to check out the Sci-Fi Guy's review on [I]GI Joe:The Rise of Cobra[/I]. Reality is a dish best served flaming hot, dumped in your lamp and then allowed to set your crotch on fire. :) It was REALLY bad and completely unbelievable. (quick list of WTF moments: Cobra steals the plans from the Joe's secret base and wipes the floor with an army of "trained" specialist and yet the Joes attack Cobra's base with [B][I]6[/I][/B] people...really? You put the two rookies in the super suits that are overly complicated and need specialized training because why? Ice floats, it doesn't fall in water (Cobra base destruction scene) and Destro's ancestor is "tortured" by putting a flaming hot mask on his face...ummm I'm pretty sure that would have killed him owing to the medical practices of the time.) Yeah, I didn't like [I]Transformers[/I] any better, but at least it was half way passable and while it wasn't written well, at least it was consistent in its flawed logic all the way through. Of course the product placement was just sad. (Bumblebee should be a VW...period) I'm happy to say I didn't see any of these in theaters (except the D&D movie - "Curse you Hasbro, I will never get that 2 hours back!!!" *shakes fist at sky*) and all on someone else's dime. To be fair, I also made fun of [I]Spiderman the musical - I mean 3[/I] because emo Spidey was just AWESOME! *rolls eyes*. [I]Pirate's of the Caribbean 2 & 3[/I] because - they sucked - badly!!! (why did you need two armadas of ships as a MAJOR plot point if only three ship fight in the last battle?) and all of the re-do's/re-makes and re-write in the [I]Star Wars[/I] series (how could Greedo, a trained bounty hunter miss a shot from that close, oh I know, BECAUSE HAN SHOT FIRST!!!) Yes, I nitpick the details, but then again, I want to suspend my disbelief when I watch a movie; if you aren't even going to try just because you have a huge budget. please, get out of Hollywood....
