It’s going to be awful but they filmed a scene at the boardwalk in my town. I’ll rent it just to check that out.

They could have filmed this in my backyard and I wouldn't care. I would probably redo all my landscaping so my neighbors didn't know it was my backyard.

 

[Stout]

I'd ask if this was a bad joke, but...

 

[Chaplin]

Where have you been? This movie has been rumored and/or planned for years.

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

I’m in. What the hell.

 

[Cheesebeef]

this is the death rattle of Bayformers.

 

[Shaggy]

I’m in. What the hell.

Right with you there.

 

[Covert Rain]

this is the death rattle of Bayformers.

It can't die fast enough. The faster this dies the faster we can let someone else take a crack at the franchise.

 

[Finito]

First one was epic after that it's been a bad joke way to ruin childhood memories Hollywood.

No interest in this at all

Sooooo I've thought about it and im all in.

I'll be checking it out this week.

 

[Finito]

So nobody seen this?

Just watched it right now. Pretty damn impressed. Loved pretty much everything about this movie.

Make no mistake this is a bumblebee movie. Im actually excited for the sequel

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

More bonus points for also being filmed in my hometown.

 

[Covert Rain]

Will see it this week. It's allegedly what the 80's fans have wanted all along. I will believe it when I see it.

Right there with you. I am going to see it this week

 

[Chaplin]

Seeing it tonight. I’m on the AMC A-List, so it’s free. Nowhere to go but up!

Well, it's not really free, right? Isn't that just a program where you prepay to see 3 films a month?

Not a really big AMC fan myself. Not horrible, but we're spoiled with Harkins here, IMHO.

Have been to a few AMC theaters - mostly for sneak previews or special screenings.

Nope 3 movies a week and it includes any movie. They have some really great Dolby theaters.

I paid 20 bucks and it would have been my 5th movie if the month with an average ticket prices of $19. It’s like getting 4 out of 5 movies free.

Unfortunately I had a problem at home and didn’t make it tonight.

3 movies a week is a great deal. Stretched out to a normal month that's only $1.67 per movie (12 movies in 4 weeks).

Holy cow, though. Average ticket price of $19? That's more for one film than my wife and I both pay to see one.

That's because the local AMC has IMAX, Prime and Dolby theaters in addition to their regular Digital theaters, and I try to maximize by seeing it in the more expensive theaters. The Dolby theater here is amazing -- something like 250 speakers lining the walls with of course the really nice seats. The Digital theaters are closer to $15 than the bigger ones -- I believe the Dolby theater is something like $22 for a ticket.

Being in LA, you have high prices, but you get some pretty good perks for those high prices.

So probably the best Transformers movie, but still plagued by the overly complicated robot designs.

The movie starts off with a surprisingly good acting turn by John Cena, but everything after that was awful. They establish him well then his personality literally changes for the rest of the movie. Every line after his first scene is cringe-worthy.

They also bring in an idiotic scientist out of nowhere—he literally just appears and we are supposed to believe he has credibility.

Those were the two worst things, but Bumblebee himself was well realized and very well animated.

You find the scientist part to be unrealistic but the giant fighting robots from outer space are cool?

John Cena had some funny parts. The scene were there sitting at the table and he says " they literally call themselves decepticons doesn't anyone have a problem with that"
