I liked it

Action packed.

what's wrong with liking action?

Why does the "use your brain" card have to be pulled against an action movie? why do people prefer stating how much intellect they have and how little others have, instead of applying that intellect into the enlightened idea that tastes differ?

It's ok to like or dislike something on a raw and unexplainable level and it's ok even still to leave it at that. We don't have to invent nitpicky reasons.

The television has been called an idiot box for as long as it existed.... why is the "no brain required" stated like it's something new?

If I'm in the mood to think hard about a film (arent films meant to take us away from thinking too hard, ya know... an escape?) then i'd watch a documentary. or a mystery thriller.

It was based on a cartoon... were we pushing the "believability button" when we watched the cartoon?

Glancing at the posts there arent any real reasons to hate the movie.... all the reasons are subjective.

bad camera angles bad lighting atrocious acting no continuity

those are reasons.

"flashbacks at odd times" yes agreed... but so what...
"little explanation of weaponry" true... so what? use your imagination...
"awkward reacton to face turning into metal" yes.... his brain was injected with nanomites... and the point was he's just a typical villain in his "this is my true form" moment.

wicked lake
nine dead
teenage caveman
dolly dearest

those are bad movies.....

Channing's acting was good enough and a simple plot isnt the same as no plot.

I had fun.... shame you didnt cause it was a hell of a ride.

Well I didn't enjoy it because I believed it could've been good. Let me explain. The movie was like a rollercoaster ride. It started up high and then dropped. It climbed back up again and dropped. And it kept doing the same throughout the whole movie. Up and down, up and down. Just when I was excited about something the coaster dropped again on me.

I can enjoy a movie for what it is, just sit back and have fun. This movie had so much potential to be good and it failed because the writer/director/producers weren't careful enough with the material. It's a let down really, especially if you were looking forward to it.

Crap like Transforms 2 or Spiderman 3 are mediocre from start to finish. Those films were hopeless. But this could've been one of the good ones.

I didn't hate it, but I thought there was potential for it to be alot better. There was something missing. I didn't think it was nearly as bad as it gets credit for though. I've certainly seen movies that were so much worse!
