I wouldn't say that Bay did it better. Just first. Which makes it seem better.

No, he did it better, he created a greater realism and suspension of disbelief. His shots had more power, and he executed the scene to greater effect. I don't think there's anyone who could make an argument that Wheddon is a better technician than Bay. He can really put a scene together. And it looked stunning in 3d. Avengers always had a foot stuck in a cartoon and never got out of it. Of course the Avengers had great characters and Transformers not so much.

All I got out of T3 was grinding gears, explosions and pixal soup. I never had a sense of place.

[Jules]

What is pixel soup? A tech term?

[Signal30]

It's a maelstrom of pixels that never attain cohesion.

Speaking of, I enjoyed the movie a lot (especially the set pieces and the humor) but Samuel L Jackson was a very weak link. He phoned in that performance. It was as if he was sleeping on set, heard "action" and woke up to deliver his lines.

[Signal30]

He didn't even need to phone it in...those lines were pretty obviously written for Samuel MF Jackson, not Nick Fury. Whoever that is.

I would get this printed on a t-shirt. Love it.

Also -

SPOILER:
















I love how they showed us a glimpse of Thanos after the credit sequence.

But when it finally kicks in, you can hear the engine begin to howl. In a good way

Why do people always equate "camp" with "gawdawful"?
I LIKE camp!
