I hope it's good, I've not been hearing or reading very good things about it. Not that it supposedly sucks, but that it wasn't up to all the hype. I'll probably end up going to see it though. You can't break 9 years of working for the theatre seeing EVERYTHING very easily.

I give it a 2 out of 4 stars.


If it wasn't so blatantly a Ford commercial, every 3 or 4 scenes, it may have been better. Maybe 2.5 stars.

Then you are the type of intelligent consumer they aim these obtrusive brand placements at. This is your type of flick.

Every movie is a commercial for as many products as they can fit in it.
On drinks, foods and stuff you can tell who paid to help production cost by whether the labels are visible in a shot or not.
If they are drinking a Coke and the coca cola logo is visible, then most likely Coke paid for it.
I'd imagine that they stand on every set of the movie(s) and look around for companies that they can call to solicit advertising money from. They'll pay to have their name used so many times in a movie. If a comany doenst pay, say kellogs refuese to pay, the the ccorn flakes box in the cupboard gets turned around or replaced.....

If there is going to be car scenes then you can bet that they will call every manufacturer and ask them to donate cars. The one that sends the best car and/or gives the most money..... Thats who's car gets to be the star. If one refuses to help at all, then if any of their cars make it into the movie, it's an older one that they pull out of a junkyard and it gets blown up, is broke down, breaks down, cussed. Or otherwise bad publicity. You don't even realize the marketing you are subjected to in ever single movie ever produced since hollywood was founded.....
ET struck the boom for big money, when sales for Resse's Pieces went up eleventy kabillion times (or some insane crazy amount like that) the year that ET was released.
Reeses Pieces would probably have been pulled off the market by now if it wasn't for that movie. They were getting ready to pull it because prior to that it was loosing money.... It was already scheduled to be cut.
Before that, Smokey and the Bandit is credited for the sales spike of Trans-Am's... (now it's credited by enthusiast as the cause of the destruction of several trans-ams from people thinking it could do all of that stuff and hold together......) but I digress

If you dont want to be marketed too, conscious or sub-conscious, then shut off the TV, you cant even watch cartoons, or sitcoms, stop going to movies, stay off the internet, don't listen to the radio, stay off the main roads. If you must travel then use the back roads.

If your going to be hit with advertisements, it might as well be entertaining too.

Anyway, Ford had to do something because Chevrolet kicked their butts in transformers. After that everyone wants a yellow Camaro like bumble bee now... Even if the movie gets back 1% of the share of the market they lost from transformers, it helps.
