Putting your own religious feelings into it because of a sentence no doubt confirms what she said was indeed true.
Bay has no issues obviously and had put it behind him.
Overall the third movie was totally out of place and pace. That's where everything went down hill. No 4 is to cover up what damage was done on no 3.
Despite being a more serious tone, it had lots of bad flaws.
I will continue to watch, I like entertainment but I have my critics for the entire line.
Pacific rim wins all hands down.
It's not even a racial or political thing... if you publicly insult your boss(es), then you're acting unprofessionally and may possibly be in violation of your employment contract. A lot of employment contracts contain a clause about not bringing your employer into disrepute when speaking with the media. If Fox had said this in a private conversation with friends, that'd be one thing, but to say it to media reporters? Not cool. The Hitler/Jewish thing just made it look worse, but it would've been just as bad without it.
Like said, firing her just confirms what she said. I tend to believe her than Spielberg in this case. No doubt, she could be more professional, but how old is she? How old is Spielberg ? Build a bridge, there have been more serious disputes on Hollywood sets and people deal with it. To me this is a very small deal and it just shows the level of teamwork .Quote:

What I found more objectionable was replacing Fox with an even worse actress (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley/Carly Spencer). :rolleyes: Nicola Peltz (Tessa Yeager) arguably better than Fox and Huntington-Whiteley... although that's not hard. :o None of the leading ladies in any of the Bay films seem to have been chosen for their acting integrity. :rolleyes:
Agreed and she didn't fit in many ways why I rated this movie really poor.Quote:

The actual quote in context was "He's like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation. He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he's a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he's not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he's so awkward, so hopelessly awkward. He has no social skills at all. And it's endearing to watch him."
Fox wasn't saying Bay committed genocide, hated jews, black people or gypsies, waged war against half the world, or had a mustache. She was saying he likes to be a totalitarian ruler while on set. Yes, it's not politically correct to liken anyone to Hitler, but she's been a Hollywood princess since she was fifteen, and thus has her own lack of social skills to deal with. The whole thing was overblown, and yes, clearly Michael Bay doesn't have a real problem with her, since he's the producer of TMNT and its sequel.

That makes sense. Once you put the word Hitler in there, it doesn't make sense what else you say because the rest of the world will only focus on that word.

Cos the live action films had no problems what-so-ever before Fox left the franchise, and Revenge of the Fallen was an absolute pearl of cinematic literature. :p There's this interview where Spielberg denied directing Bay to sack Fox over the Hitler comment. Who knows... maybe Bay will find a way to bring Fox back for TF5. He seems to have a limitless supply of excuses to keep bringing Megatron back. :pQuote:

After all, it seemed like there were fans who really wanted Carly, and that was what they got :p
Back on topic, my 'favourite movie' order would be 3,4,1,2. For me, DotM just works: good story, good pacing (ok, the first half-hour was a bit slow), substantial bot screen time, amazing action sequences.
As an aside, personally, I think the 'problem' has more to do with the writing than Bay's directing. The writing to date has been adequate to good, but I think Ehren Kruger (should he return) should have a co-writer if he doesn't already.
Give Bay a good script and he can deliver an amazing movie: The Rock is one of the best action movies of the '90s, and The Island was very good (if derivative).
Hmm...Quote:

Hmmm...
I might be in the minority, but I actually really enjoy the TF films.
Surely, they're big and explosions and dumb, but that's what I expect so never get disappointed.
I actually love ROTF (it was my favourite film for a long time), so from best to worst for me would be ROTF, DOTM, AOE, TFTM.
I think AOE suffered from being too long, especially at the end, because I felt it's human characters were more interesting (though I always find myself laughing at Sam's parents).
My biggest issue with them is the confusing fight scenes and the lack of Megatron-first one he is frozen for most of the film, second we have the Fallen, third we have him being Sentinel's B***h, and 4 he just says "Get me the Seed!"
Then again, I guess I'm the target market :p:p
Yeah, I personally never understood how anybody could be "disappointed" by the movies. Unless you don't know who Michael Bay is, you're getting exactly what you'd expect.
