So contrived. So convenient. It tries to be clever. It just isn't.<br />

I hate NYSM so f'ing much and this perfectly crystalizes all my problems with the movie itself and the industry that pooped it out.   I'd marry you in the next life if you're not busy.</p>

I understood what you meant, but next time you should work a little bit more on your grammar. If you think it's normal for millions of people to enjoy a juvenile, sloppy, downright illogical movie, and which therefore assumes the audience has the mental capacity of a toddler, it's your right.

This is a forum. I suppose you are aware of how a forum works?<br />
Insult other people cause they like those certain movies? Well, that makes you an a-hole.<br />

<p dir="auto">Worldwide gross.<br />
It's very hard to make a movie flop with overseas markets willing to watch ANYTHING.<br />
You almost have to try to make a movie no one on Earth will stomach.<br />
Always remember, there are 7 billion people now.  You only need to attract a fraction of 1% to make hundreds of millions in profits.<br />
There's no reason to put effort into writing a solid story, because enough idiots love mindless special effects hence the "Transformers" franchise..</p>

<p dir="auto">It didn't just have SOME plotholes, it was made up ENTIRELY of plotholes. None of it made sense for five seconds. There's no script, so the director paces everything so fast and fills it so full of noise, flash, would-be clever lines and B.S. that he hopes you won't notice his film is complete <em>beep</em></p>

<p dir="auto">I would guess it flopped for logical reasons, such as the fact that almost nothing in this mess was logical.  There were plot holes so huge you could drive a Mack truck through them.  None of the characters was ever developed into anyone you could care about at all.  And the camera seemed to be located atop a spinning platform that practically made you dizzy in every scene.<br />
Other than that</p>
