Shockwave was fucking AMAZING in the comic.
One of the first funnybooks I ever owned was this in a "digest" format with the issues before and after.
Gunslinger Redux
The Transformers comics were great. Robots were fucking dying left and right. Shockwave was a motherfucker and killing everyone, it was insane.
As for Wolverine, TF2 and Terminator. I only liked Transformers out of the bunch. I agree Wolverine started ok but by the end it spent all its creds with me.
Terminator was just a fucking abomination. I mean it started out great. The first 10 or 20 minutes of it I was like "oh shit, this is the shit!" and then it just turned out to be shit. Terminator 3 was a pretty shitty movie, but at least it had some charm and charisma. Christian Bale dead panned his way through this last one. I hate him.
GI JOE will suck an ass bag full of hammers. I don't even know what that means, but it won't be good. I'm going to have to go home and watch one of my DVDs of the cartoon just to cleanse myself from it.
Look out, man, Wooly's gone ape-shit.

Prime's disembodied head all encouraging that kid to stick electrical contacts on his own temples.
And he did. Optimus was a prick.

My admittedly presumptuous article
There were two negative reviews on RT for GI yesterday, but one of them was replaced by two positive reviews. This is fishy

Braaaaaaainssssss
Why? If people are watching and having fun, didn't the movie succeed? $800 million in Transformer 2 ticket sales can't all be wrong, can they?
I'll give you that you need the fast-forward button for most of these on the second watch at home, but you have a fast-forward button so who cares?
You're mixing these movies up with stories. These aren't stories. Any story that does exist in these sort of things is only there to shepard you to the next wave of destruction. Broadway musicals are the same way. Pornos too. The story just sets up the next song and dance number or orgy or whatever it was you paid to see.
Not that I'm defending GI Joe. It's not my thing. But I'm sure for many people it is their thing. They'll go and laugh and wince at unnecessary Hollywood story changes and pump their fists in the air when shit blows up and roll their eyes out of their sockets at the corny stuff. And they'll have a good time.
So, what's the problem? When you want to see a good movie, see a good movie. When you want dumb shit, see dumb shit.

The difference is that if dumb shit keeps consistently making more money than good shit, then studios are going to pump more money into and release more dumb shit because that's where they see the most profit. Dumb movies have their place, of course, but why you would want to see a movie just for the a'splosions when it is over two hours long doesn't make sense. A movie theater doesn't have a fast forward button.
Dumb shit ALWAYS makes more money. That's why they call it "base".

Well I know that, I'm not some wide eyed idealist that thinks that the big explosion fests haven't always made the most money. My main concern is this nostalgia fest that movies seem to be on and people see it just on that alone. It's like they don't need to bother as long as they have the franchise rights.
Unless you're Speed Racer, of course. Then you just tank anyway.
