  1. ROTF was just bad movie making

    Except it was not, most people are fools and cynics.

    Terrible story

    The story was fine.

    offensively bad character development.

    The development was fine.

    Too many minor plot points

    That is not an issue, I easily kept up with anything because I *gasp* paid attention!

    The Fallen was on screen for a total of 3 minutes.

    Ten would be more accurate.

    They can travel threw space, so why did the Decepticons on the moon have to wait

    Because military planning.

    For the space bridge? Why didn't they arrive for the battle of the all spark?

    It was not their job.

    Everybody was pissed about the Twins in ROTF for being offensive,

    And nothing they did was offensive unless you're like the average homophobe that can be offended by literally anything.

    But no one got offended over the Benz executing the "Einstein" looking Benz.

    Why would you?
  2. Fallen > Moon > First

    What Makes Both Transformers Films Equally Bad?

    None, they're all at least decent.

    - Horrible script.

    Humans spew mouth spam aka dialogue like in real life and we get exposition so the script is fine by default.

    - Shoddy pacing.

    Dark of The Moon I'll givr you, but the first two movies did good in this.

    - Shia LaBeouf's limited vocabulary.

    Which has nothing to do with anything (even if it did that would count as "bad script").

    - Sam's parents are annoying.

    They're only minor characters.

    - Incoherent explanation of the history of The Fallen and the Primes.

    You sure? It was very coherent when I watched it: There were thirteen and one went rogue.

    - Mudflap and Skids.

    They were pretty neat characters.

    - Waste of great Egyptian and Jordanian scenery.

    The last third of the movie had all that.

    - Devastator's balls.

    It is called comedy.

    - That dream sequence of Sam and the Primes still makes no sense.

    Alien robots go to heaven, makes sense.

    - Rosie Huntington-Whitely's lack of acting talent compared to Megan Fox.

    This is provided people watch a movie like that for mouth jibbering.

    - Waste of Ken Jeong's comedic talent.

    - Waste of John Malkovich's time.

    - Waste of Buzz Aldrin's time.

    You can say that about every part every actor had in every role ever.
  3. Earlier I finished Nanatsuiro Drops, but when I get to my overview of my take on of eroge adaptions I'll talk about it, what I will talk about is the hour long OVA I just finished called Crimson Wolf. It was nice and action filled complete with a super computer summoning a giant three headed dragon.... Real shame they had a ton of sex junk in it (how the hell is this not a hentai?). If you like martial arts give it a shot, some slow pacing aside it is worth a watch.

  5. Since I'm not quoting every entry I'll greentext it.

    >New Hope/Empire Strikes Back

    Return of The Jedi and the prequels were better movies, more nostalgia goggles.

    >Godfather

    Just part 1 or are parts 2 and 3 taken in? Either way that is fail.

    >The Dark Knight/Jaws/Inception

    No prob

    >Shawshank

    That movie was borderline unwatchable and the police were inept, hell no

    >Pulp Fiction

    Never saw it, but any movie with cliffhanger nonsense shouldn't be on a list like this

    >Fellowship

    That was the weakest of the three movies by FAR

    >Raiders

    Dumb ending combined with lackluster special effects when the sequels got better with every installment? Yeah, nostalgia goggles.

    Alright lets see what other errors this list has.

    >11-19

    Alien 3 was the best of the bunch and Return of The King and GF part 2 should trump their predacessors, JP and Avengers are fine, BttF is not bad but part 2 was better. Blade Runner doesn't deserve to be THAT high.

    >20-28

    Already addressed Alien, the Matrix trilogy should be considered as all three work together, 2001 has nothing beyond looking pretty, Gladiator is fine, Casablanca and SL are too mediocre for mentions, and T2 was the worst of the four, at least put T1 or Salvation here for frick sake. Never seen the others.

    >29-37

    Aside from CK and Gravity I have seen nothing here and the former was just okay, nothing particularly good.

    >38-48

    Finally one of the classic westerns, the best no less, 2 Towers is too low, Skyfall isn't the best of Bond, but this is understandable, while Taxi Driver/OFOTCN was good it wasn't great, IaWL is understandable, and I wouldn't mind Die Hard if they didn't ignore the four sequels, like the Matrix movies they all work together. Rest I haven't seen.

    >49-59

    Memento is understandable, TS sucked, SS was meh and not Kurosawa's best (Ikiru would have been a much better choice), The Shining isn't a bad choice, and Pan's Labyrinth should be on here. Never saw the rest.

    >60-70

    SotL was boring so this is more nostalgia goggles, more Disney animated kiss ups, ET was mediocre, The Thing is a good fit, and GB2 was better. Never saw the others.

    >71-81

    That awful Tarintino remake of the 70s war movie? What fail. SPR was trash and TDKR should be higher. Never saw the others.

    >82-92

    Star Trek 3, 4, and 5 were better than 2, more nostalgia goggles on a mediocre movie. There are also many other Ghibli movies better than SA which was good but not great. Never saw the others.

    >93-102

    Crystal Skull wwas better than Last Crusade and Rocky 3 was the best of the bunch. Fargo, while great, should not be this high up. Never saw the others.

    >103-112

    Army of Darkness was leagues over the mediocre ED 1 and 2. Honestly? Disney pandering, Avatar was mediocre, Good to see Predator although the sequels were much better, T1 should be up much higher, and Truman Show was good but not great. Never saw the others.

    >113-123

    Wizard of Oz makes sense even if it is just nostalgia goggles, Ferris Buller and Superman should be here, RotJ as mentioned should be up much higher, and I never saw the others.

    >124-134

    Disney pandering, Halloween should be higher up, TKaMB was great although not this high up, and Robocop 2 should be on here too with both being higher up. Never saw the others.

    >135-145

    Dawn gets this high up and not Day or Land? What fail. Close Encounters and Exorcist were mediocre (for the latter the prequel would have made more sense) and BB should be on here. Never saw the others.

    >146-157

    Disney pandering and up kissing, Watchman is understandable....... And never saw the rest. I haven't seen TS3 though (good thing I lucked out and saw Predators that weekend haha!)

    >158-168

    Hobbit part 2 should be higher up, SotD was bad, and for Casino Royale thoughts see the one on Skyfall. Never saw the others although Frozen is likely more Disney up kissing.

    >169-177

    BCandTSK makes sense and it was great, just not this high up, same with Dr. Strangelove although it was good not great, and never saw the rest.

    >178-187

    City Lights and Pirates should be on here (although with Pirates you need the sequels too), 5th Element is understandable, Top Gun is good but not great, Winter Soldier should be higher up, Sin City makes sense, and Temple of Doom being here before Crystal Skull is utter fail. Never saw the others.

    >188-196

    Out of all the werewolf movies they could have chosen they went with a mediocre one? Sound of Music makes sense and never saw the others.

    >197-206

    Tim Burton's version should be on here instead of the original mediocre one and there are better Ghibli movies than Mononoke. Never saw the others.

    >207-215

    CHL makes sense and I have not seen anything else here.

    >216-226

    DWW makes sense, Episode 3 (and 1 and 2) should be much higher up, again not the best of Bond, and more Disney up kissing. Never saw the others.

    >227-236

    Akira should be higher up and more Disney pandering. Never saw the others.

    >237-247

    Graduate was good but not great, Iron Man 1 and 3 should not be here before Thor, Hulk, Punisher, Blade, and about a dozen other comic book movies, The Crow makes sense. Never saw the others.

    >248-258

    South Park should be much higher up, TF 1 gets on when the much better sequels don't? Fail. Scream's sequels were better, but the first is better than none. Metropolis and District 9 should be on here. HA should be further down. Never saw the others.

    >259-268

    Hobbit should be lower, never seen anything else on here.

    >269-279

    Disney pandering with nostalgia goggles again, Scott Pilgrim was mediocre, and Blue Velvet was good but not great. Never saw the others.

    >280-290

    Batman, Man of Steel, and 300 should be higher up, Prometheus should not be on here, and I never saw the others.

    >291-301

    Bicycle Thieves should be higher, NoES is here but not the sequels? 4 and 6 were easily the best, what fail. BttF part 2 and King Kong should not be this low. Conan should not be here. Never saw the others.

    So basically the readers of Empire need to go out and see other movies aside from the "known" and "oscar bait". The fact that only one Universal Horror classic made it on here is disturbing.
