I did.

What can I say? I think Michael Bay is what's wrong with Hollywood.

[DieAnotherDay57]

What are you talking bout he made very good movies such as The Rock ,Armegedon, Pearl Harbor , Bad Boys .

[MrDraco]

Pearl Harbor was ****, the rest were exceptable flicks i like except the fact Sean Connery was called 'John Mason' in the rock....which is my chractors name in a series of spy books...is iritating...i'm debating changing his name

[DieAnotherDay57]

I think Pearl Harbor was good I mean it had good action , comedy , and story. O yeah and some romance.

[Jmart007]

I think Pearl Harbor is a very UNderrated film. Yes, its cheesy in a lot of places, but its supposed to do that (at least for the first 90 min). Then the last 90 min is serious (except for one scene which takes place in a gas station, that was horrible)

Michael Bay is not what's wrong with Hollywood, Charlie's Angels director McG is what is wrong with Hollywood. The first movie was actually fun to watch, but seeing as there is no plot in the second one, and its non stop action, its an awful movie. You have to take the time to develop a plot.

Bay, IMO, is 5-10 years away for having the potential to becoming a Spielberg like director, which is why I think a movie like Pearl Harbor was a little premature for him. Imagine that film if it was under the helm of Steven Spielberg or Martin Scorsesse.

Saw this at the weekend.

Very loud, very brutal, very exciting car chase (the first one, not the second) but ultimately all quite tiring as everything was on super shake mode.

The downside is that while the buddy aspect is played up to the full between Lawrence and Smith (just why is Lawrence's name first in the credits - was it because it was like that in the first film?) (and while we're on with questions, this is once again a Simpson/Bruckheimer production! Why?) the rest of the acting isn't really up to much.

The captain's shouting and ranting seems to be there as a parody from the first film, it's over played, over acted and irrelevant. Similarly, all the anger and shouting as performed by the main protagonist is done through gritted teeth in an unintended comic fashion - terrible.

Saturday night fare, too long, too tiring, maybe I'm now too old to appreciate this director.

Didn't see this one, won't see this one. Never saw the first one. This type of **** is not my cup of tea.

[THEQUESTFORPEAC]

I saw Bad boys II last week, its quite a good ilm, very impressive action. However I feel that the film was about half an hour too long, it just seemed to take it to far, at the 90 minute point I had already had enough.

[DLibrasnow]

I liked the first one...I missed this one at the theater....I will try and see it when it arrives on DVD!

[DieAnotherDay57]

I agree with most of the opinions here, a thoroughly good yarn, but a good half hour too long. What I was intrigued about was actually before the feature. I saw the trailer for the new 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' film (technically a remake, but not...According to producer Michael Bay) and found it rather chilling.

Not what was on the screen, but what was moving around the 5.1 mix. Apparently the director (name escapes me) made a trailer purely filled with scary sounds, and in this trailer, you hear a girl being stalked by Leatherface purely through the surround sound. Anyone else seen this yet?

[CommanderBond]

the dvd is a definate buy with me
