Megan Fox. Megan Fox is the only flaw of
Michael Bay's
Transformers: Dark of the Moon. The script by
Ehren Kruger ( who wrote
Top Gun: Maverick and
F1 ) was written with Mikaela Banes ( Megan Fox ) as the girlfriend of
Shia LaBeouf's character Sam. But because of some drama behind the scenes ( which involved
Steven Spielberg for some reason ), she ultimately dropped out of the project, in very late stages of pre-production. Forcing the team to quickly patch her character out in a very forced and obvious way, replacing her with
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley who worked with Bay on Victoria Secret commercials. That ultimately made the film very confusing, emotionally.

Megalopolis: The high-brow bullshit I enjoy

There is a kind of very difficult film-style that is extremely complicated to do right, a kind of metaphorical, retro-futuristic, allegorically emotiono-political noir. I've seen many types of this done in such a surface level insane way that they are borderline unwatchable. A good example of this type of movie, which works to some extend, is Blender Foundation's
Elephants Dream. But even that is so strange that you have to grind yourself through a strange feeling of something being not quite right when watching it. Megalopolis by
Francis Ford Coppola seems like one that actually works. Which I consider to be a big achievement in cinematic science.
Transformers is Good if You Take it Seriously

I decided to re-watch the first
Transformers film today, but differently. Instead of indulging in it as mindless entertainment, I decided I want to actually view it seriously, as I would with somebody like
Steven Spielberg, who, by the way, was an executive producer on the film.
