I don't call that five for five.
PEARL HARBOR. Where Hollywood could take TWO movies that were classics (Tora Tora Tora & 30 Seconds Over Tokyo) and make one long bad movie..
If THE ISLAND was his and the failure they are calling it, he deserves it for making Pearl Harbor..
Actually 3 of 5 - Bad Boys II flopped too, didn't it?
I've said it before, I'll say it again: Michael Bay movie = pointless use of slow motion shots + lots of things going kaboom (often with both elements at once - things going kaboom in slow motion). I'll admit to The Rock being something of a guilty pleasure, but I'd rather just watch Bay's trailers, thanks; they usually have lots of slow-mo kabooms, so I get to see the best parts of the flick AND satisfy my not-so-deeply repressed pyromaniacal tendencies.
I'd give my opinion of Bad Boys II, but this is a family forum...
"PEARL HARBOR. Where Hollywood could take TWO movies that were classics (Tora Tora Tora & 30 Seconds Over Tokyo) and make one long bad movie.."
Amen to that. I am still wondering how a studio, with that big budget could waste the chance to make a great movie. It's just stunning to me that the intelligence was lacking from the beginning.
Ben Whats His Name?
Alex Baldwin as Jim Doolittle????
Not to mention the trashing they gave the Navy Nurse Corps.
What a wasted opportunity.
