For raw action and killer special effects, Transformers wins by a landslide.

For rewatchability, story, and overall badassery (yes, it's a new word), DH4 is for you.

I'm really torn between the two. But I do know one thing, Shia Labeouf is perfectly capable of carrying a movie, even if it's a Michael Bay flick.

Bay did an adequate job, too. I was impressed by that, to say the least.

Die Hard is hard to pick, because it was so chopped up into a PG-13 movie. It's easy to tell, but the movie itself is still enjoyable except for the occasional overdub/quick cut.

Transformers is a Bay flick, so be wary of that. It was still one of the most amazing things I've seen on the big screen though, like I said, the battles were spectacular and there was a good chemistry between the cast.

I can't really decide until the DVD release of Die Hard, but for now, I'd have to say Transformers.
 
If it was Die Hard in it's full R-rated glory, I'd probably enjoy it more, but right now I'd have to say Transformers.

I can see myself watching Die Hard more than Transformers though. So it really is a toss-up as to what the better film really is.
 
... and we have a winner!

Completely off topic.

Sorta...

I was going to see Transformers tonight, but my friend and I decided, since we can't make it to the cinema that often this summer, to see 1408 since it's likely to leave theaters much sooner than either Die Hard or Transformers.

Surprisingly, it was totally awesome. Probably the best, truly scary movie I've seen in years, and it easily ranks among the top 5 King adaptations to date. :up: Spectacular film.
 
I'll probably catch 1408 on DVD, I love real horror movies and none of that torture porn as John Cusack so eloquently put it.

For every good King flick (The Shining, Shawshank, Stand by Me) there's about 5 horrible ones (Graveyard Shift, Silver Bullet, Pet Sematary)

I prefer any King mini-series, Salem's Lot and The Stand were pretty interesting.
 
As far as King adaptations go I'd rank 'em like this:

1. Shawshank
2. The Shining
3. The Green Mile
4. Stand By Me
5. 1408

But mini-series do tend to fare better for King. IT, Nightmares and Dreamscapes, The Stand, even Desperation was pretty good.

I'm just praying to God that the Dark Tower can break the trend for King films. Pllleeeassse. J.J., don't let me down. please
 
J.J. knows what he's doing. I can't wait to see 1-18-08 / Cloverfield or Star Trek being returned to glory.
 
Still dying to see the Cloverfield trailer.

And Star Trek should be awesome.

I have faith in J.J. The LOST pilot is one of the greatest things I've ever seen on TV. He knows what he's doing. You just have to understand how close DT is to my heart. The expectations are at rabid fanboy levels. :wink:
 
Same with me and Star Trek.

Transformers is also a good gauge as to how Orci and Kurtzman are going to handle the Star Trek lore. I thought they handled the transformers well, left some good stuff for fanboys while still being accessible to a wide audience.

As I've been saying before, if Star Trek is handled as well as Lost, especially with flashbacks throughout Kirk's life + his first mission with Spock, goddamn. That is going to be awesome.
 
And for what it's worth, I though JJ did a pretty good job with MI:3 as well. I like everything he did with photography, pacing, style, etc. It's just that the script wasn't that great. But for what he did on his Motion Picture debut, I though it was solid.

Star Trek will be the real test though. It's an epic film, and has just as much pressure, if not more, than and DT project.
 
MI:3 was a good film, and what was great is he brought his Alias-style into the project, making it the best one of the bunch, in my opinion.

Which is why I'm hoping he brings that Lost-style into Star Trek. The two seem almost made for each other.

Here Die Hard 4 had a rating of 15...if it was a PG-13 in the states, I wonder then if it was a different cutwe got here?

Saw it yesterday and I thought it was excellent.
 
As Borat would say I want to have sex with Megan Fox's Vagine.

On another not Transformers was great, best summer film so far, Ratatoulle comes in second.
 
I always enjoy the Pixar movies, but I wait until DVD to see them.

I'd rather pay 8 bucks to see John McClane blow everything up than an animated rat making soup, you know?
 
I'm pretty disappointed that Michael Bay redesigned the Transformers to look like spikey fanged cliche monsters. The lack of personalities for the majority of them wasn't good either...


Cloverfield looks immense though.
