July 16, 200916 yr This movie wasn't made for a good story plot, it was made purely for entertainment, and it sure as hell entertained me. An entertainment film can still have a coherent and interesting plot and still be entertaining, the two aren't mutually exclusive. He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC)
July 16, 200916 yr I never said they were mutually exclusive. I was just saying since this movie had major plot holes, in my opinion it was made for pure entertainment [/bads]
July 17, 200916 yr Author Yes their were holes in the story, but you can't say when you came out of the movie theater you were like "wow that was a kick [wagon] movie!" Oddly enough I said nothing of the sort...might be because I wasn't impressed at all. Also, some people can't enjoy a movie because it's "action" and "kick asseyness". Some people do need a coherent story to enjoy a movie. I still don't see why no one is complaining about Sam's death. That was, to be honest, one of the stupidest death scenes ever. Of course when he died I knew he would come back alive, he's the main character, but I thought the key in the bag (can't remember what it was called) would revive him so he couldn't save Optimus. But nope...apparently all good boys go to robot heaven. I know I bash this movie like Vince bashes prostitutes, but I truly don't think this movie should be called "kick [wagon]" because it has enough action and explosions and pretty robots to keep you from caring about the story, I think a movie is kick [wagon] when the action doesn't totally blow (It took thirty seconds to kill the Fallen, which is not kickass, it seems lazy...all the buildup to a half assed robot fight) and the story is good. Though other genres I have different ways I want it, I think that action movies do need to have coherent stories if they want to get across to the hardcore crowd who don't go to movies mainly for the experience, but also for the journey. Eh, this comes from the guy who likes James Bond, so I don't see where I am coming from. James Bond movies can be kinda plot holey. I don't know...ever since I started reviewing movies my mindset has gone from "whatever" to "OMG! That totally was stupid". Damn I better become a movie critic when I grow up or my mind has been permanently scarred forever...

I was just saying since this movie had major plot holes, in my opinion it was made for pure entertainment Yeah but coherence is something that should be expected in a film regardless of who it is aimed at and regardless of the intention of the film. Of course some will deliberately alter the structure to give some sort of effect. Sorry, I know I'm off topic now because I'm not even referring to this film specifically, more of a general point.
