Had this opening not been shown, we could have thought Hummel was just a petty mercerany. however knowing his reasons, we feel the need to side with him and being torn between 2 rights..

3 harry potter's fans dont like this.

anyone who tries to tell me Bay isnt a great director i laugh...this scene is fantastic and the rock is one of the better action films of it's time.

[NemesisTypeT]

@WeskerLogan He used to do great action flicks like this one, but nowadays it's mostly just crap, like Transformers.

I die a little inside every time I hear...

@Seanbo2203

Thumbs up, feel the same way, scary to think that it is happening in real live before and still.

I hate all the shit that Michael Bay gets. Yeah, he uses a lot of special effects, but that's what he's hired to do. That's what he's good at. Michael Bay winds up getting all the shit for the writer's mistakes.There are only so many ways to depict "the helicopter explodes" or whatever is in the script. And what about the producers? The whole movie has to be okayed by them, so it's partly their fault too! I just hate how directors always get all of the credit or all of the blame for a movie.

[afroman255]

@Koda924 i very much agree with you

[Anteater22]

what's the explosion in there for at 1:47?

Oh yeah, I suppose that's Michael Bay's way of signifying how the guy in the coffin must've died. He died in an explosion.

Music A+++, intro A+++.

one of the best intro to any movie I have ever seen.

[Zeppelinlv2007]

The Rock is truly Michael Bay's finest pieces of work!

[frozenpeace]

I agree. One of the best beginning scenes of all time.
