Transformers movies are overlong loud CGI nonsense But so are Marvel


Movies so what's with the extreme hatred for these movie when ever current franchise is pretty much the same thing.

I'd say Fast and Furious is the only semi respectable franchise at the moment cause there some love that go into those movies

there are long periods of time during the transformers movies where I zone out because the action on screen is so fast and blurry I often have no idea what is happening.

I never had this problem at all. We always get a wide shot to establish where we are and where the characters are, and the rest just takes care of itself. I can almost guarantee that the majority of people who make this complaint don't really feel that way either, as it's mainly only made by people who hate on Bay simply because they want to be part of the trend and therefore feel they have to get nit-picky over everything in his movies. The action sequences are barely any different than most summer blockbusters released these days, and I'd argue they're better than that of Pacific Rim, Bay may have the tendency to cut a little faster than del Torro but at least he doesn't film almost EVERY SINGLE action sequence with constant extreme close-ups in dark, stormy weather where you could only make out what was going on through the robot's powerful headlights beaming in every direction. That really starts getting tedious after a while.

I'm a bay fan, and I feel like there's plenty of action scenes that are filmed either too close or shot too quickly and I gotta lean back n say wtf just happened

Why mention Marvel? Why pick on them, and on a Transformers board?

Really, dude? This is where I suspect trolling.

Most of the Marvel movies (the bulk belonging in the MCU) have more heart put into them than Fast & Furious and Transformers combined, which were made purely for spectacle and fan-service, whereas the Marvel films actually try to have likable characters that grow and develop, and a story with heart. They're not Oscar worthy (at least back when the Oscars meant something), but they're far better than you claim.

1) Gavin is a dickhead 2) I wish marvel fans would stop being pretentious twats they're all the same entertainment movies that appeal.

Heart? Marvel has more Heart than Fast and Furious? Are you High?

Marvel is all about the Money. They might have Heart during Phase 1 but that's gone now.
You only see a flicker of Heart during stuff like GOTG and CAWS

Paul Walker goes through loads of character development in the FF franchise

Ok, now I know you can't be taken seriously. I'm not surprised Paul Walker was your opening defense, the guy died so now he gets pity points. Changing jobs a couple times throughout the movies (cop, agent, car thief) doesn't count as "character development", especially since there was little to no change in his actual character.

While making money is part of Marvel's job (and anyone's job for that matter), they're the ones actually putting effort. Even Thor went through more character development than Paul Walker's character. Fast & Furious is just about cars and heists, with a bonus of hot women strutting around. If you're really into that, that's fine, but don't pretend those films "have heart".

I was gonna give you the benefit of the doubt, but looks like I was right. How about you actually watch the Marvel movies before saying your piece? You might actually enjoy them.

You're comparing Thor played by a wall of hair to Paul
Walker's more realistic attainable stage by stage potrayal... okay, you're both dumbasses.

Everyone picks on Marvel these days haha
