Terrible movies.

Armageddon is so stupid it literally makes me angry. And anything else by Michael Bay, come to think of it. He took a wrecking ball to my childhood with those godawful Transformers movies.
Pain and Gain, by Bay, starring the Rock and Marky Mark, was actually a really good movie. I swear. I hate his stuff usually.

This video is worth watching for any film fans, specifically haters of Michael Bay like me. He's not a terrible filmmaker, is the argument, and you can tell by watching what his imitators do. What he does well, he does really well, he just has no imagination.

 
I didn’t find the violence in RD or PF to be gratuitous. It was, to me, just more brutal. I did think the Pitt smashing the woman’s head in OUaTiH to be over the top and gratuitous. 1-2 less blows would’ve been fine and I wouldn’t have felt that way.
Could you tell the stories in RD or PF, or JB or KB for that matter, without the violence? Maybe KB, but not the others. At least, it wouldn't have had an impact like it did.

I honestly don’t remember JB that well. But I don’t see how you tell the other three and remain true to the essence of those films without the violence.
 
Critics are still people (and hence idiots), but they are also pretentious. Would you rather get movie recommendations from an idiot, or a pretentious idiot?
I’d rather get recommendations from those whose job it is to analyze film, not some ******* off the streets. And like I said, I don’t look at all critics. Many (most?) suck.

I almost always agreed with siskel, so that was helpful in screening what movies to see

and, it is quite remarkable how closely trailer quality matches movie quality. But I hate trailers because they give away too much mystery.
