I WAS ENTERTAINED BY THE EXCESS, I KNEW WHEN A JOKE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A JOKE AND WHEN I WAS SUPPOSED TO FEEL TOUCHED ETC ETC. BUT THE THING IS THIS- IF MORE ENTERTAINMENT IN THE WORLD BECOMES LIKE THIS THE WORLD WOULD BECOME CRACK ADDICTS WITHIN WEEKS.
MICHAEL BAY'S DIRECTION IS LIKE A SLEDGEHAMMER RELENTLESSLY POUNDING AND EVERYTHING IS ON VOLUME 100- THE ACTORS' PERFORMANCES, THE LIGHTS, THE SET, THE CAMERA ANGLES, THE MUSIC, THE EFFECTS, THE EXPLOSIONS, THE ACTION SEQUENCES, THE DIALOGUE... AND EVERYTHING IS GIVEN ABOUT 6 SECONDS TO CONNECT BEFORE WE'RE ONTO THE NEXT THING...
THIS IS DANGEROUS AS IT ADDICTS THE AUDIENCE TO MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR EXCESS WHILST DUMBING DOWN THEIR EMOTIONAL AND INTELLECTUAL SENSIBILITY. THIS IS GOING TO ADDICT YOU TO BIG BUDGET CRAP CANDY WHILST ROTTING YOUR BRAIN...
ITS SAD AGAIN TO NOTE THOUGH THAT 'GREEN LANTERN' COULD NOT EVEN MAKE MINDLESSNESS LIKE THIS FUN...
But those guys at Industrial Light and Magic are brilliant artists. The CGI in this was immensely well done and Bay- for all his propagandistic film style- knows how to construct sequences and frames...
