ok so I chose to see the movie before judging it. Wouldn't that make me open minded?
I never asked somebody to stop bashing the movie but I did ask people to change the way that they were.
There is a difference between saying "you know this just isn't for me" and taking every chance given as well as creating your own chances to bash. I have no problem with people who don't like the movie. There were parts that I didn't like. There is a lot I would have done differently but I wasn't involved in the film making.
Here I'll let you in on a little lesson I learned a few years ago. When the Transformers movie was announced a group of my friends and I were thrilled. Before we got to see anything that Bay was doing they had an 18 wheeler with trailer covered promoting the movie at SDCC. I'm sure many of you remember it. My hopes were up and I thought I was getting MY Transformers movie. Then I started seeing things like Prime with flames and what they looked like in robot mode and I was pissed. Every chance I got I would bash what they were doing. I bitched about it all the time and it got to the point that my friends got tired of hearing it. When the movie came out they didn't want to see it with me because of all the bitching I did about it. We did other things and saw other movies together but Transformers was off limits. It wasn't that they didn't agree with what I was saying but HOW I was saying it.
In the end I enjoyed the movie. Was it what I wanted? No, not close but there were some parts that gave me the fanboy thrill again just like when I was a kid.
For the record there is not a single person's opinion on here that I don't respect. I enjoy reading points of view other than mine. I just think that there are better ways of getting the point across than posts like "this sucks ass and raped my childhood" Does that make me closed minded?
