HOLLYWOOD HAS NO RESPECT

I'm a tough critic when it comes to movies, I take films quite seriously and I discerned a long time ago that it comes down to three things that makes a movie good. 
  • the director
  • the script
  • and the actors
Obviously you have to have a good director from the inception; a director can have a killer script and some great actors, but if he's steering the movie into a bad direction (Michael Bay), then it's blah. Scripts are hella important and that's also when you know if the director is good or not when he has decided to do a movie on a terrible ass script. There are movies that I sat through and couldn't believe that the director or producer weren't like "what the fuck you have these actors saying and acting out?!" (Melissa Rosenberg) - by the way, whoever enjoys all the twilight movies, STOP READING MY DAMN BLOG, SERIOUSLY, you have no respect for film whatsoever - some of these screen writers are acting like they're writing a children's book, corniest language. 

I'm not going to go in about how important it is to have good actors, I think that's pretty self-explanatory, though there are those who think actors such as Channing Tatum is good and all I have to say to them is that they need to get their life together.

Any who, the reason I'm even writing about this in the first place is because I'm re-reading the I Am Number Four series (just got the copy of Rise of Nine and to refresh) and it brings back the animosity I have towards Michael Bay for ruining my favorite sci-fi book. Yes I know! the movie is never as good as the book, but you're wrong! Hello! Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, ring any bells?? What Mr. Michael Bay did was not follow some of the major characters descriptions (like really...really?), focused on stuff blowing up as usual, and changing the story's facts which irks me!

I can also go in on Hunger Games, but trust me you don't want me to.

Just saying if you're going to turn a great book into a movie, do it fucking right!! That's all :-)
