Transformers (movie)

I wasnt sure but did megatron ever turn into his gun?

this was the best summer blockbuster popcorn movie I can remember since T2 (probably Juraasic Park also, but I thought it was a really poor adaptation of what was a killer book). literally, I can remember at least 7 different times where I was literally blown back in my seat at what I was seeing on screen. Best special effects I've ever seen. For ONCE, the CGI ACTUALLY looked like it was literally real withinthe context of the movie - unbelievably impressive, cheesy, funny, bombastic movie.

and this coming from someone who HATES most Michael Bay films (although Bad Boys 2 is a huge guilty pleasure) and thought from day 1 this film would be a disaster. Within seeing the first trailer with footage, my mind became open to it and once the film started rolling, I was hooked, bad voice-over narration and all to start the flick. Kudos to Bay and Spielberg for bringing the event movie back to Summer!

GEICO sent out a letter to Optimus Prime for his multiple accident claims...

Watched it last Saturday.

IMHO The best yet this year.

I thought the comedy relief was spot on.

Not "subtle" where 30 seconds later the audience realizes "oh that was a joke"

And with the exception of the "bigger than Armegeddon" not forced.

P.S. If you saw the animated movie from the 80's did you catch the homage in the Optimus Prime/Megatron fight?

Megatron never "upgraded" to an Earth form.

His transformed status appeared to be Cybertronian fighter jet.

No other actress, except possibly Kiera Knightly, has given me more "excitement" than Megan Fox in any movie. Wow, and she didn't even get nekked! Friggin hot!

Not much to the plot, but it was good enough for Transformers. The acting was pretty good. It was really strange having some of the actors in it switch from the normal comedy that they do to more serious parts. Totally random shot at Iranian scientists, boo! Some of the parts were dumb... The action scenes were good though and there were plenty of them. That's mostly what matters in a movie like this. After a so-so beginning I really enjoyed it. I'd rate it somewhere between a 7.5 and an 8/10....I'll say 7.5 because I give out high ratings too easily.

Did you notice the girl in the fight scene where the camera kept her as focal point while it followed the fight down the city block.

This is the first movie in a long time that I can remember people actually clapping after the movie was over. That doesn't happen that often. .

Seriously? that happened when you saw it too?

It happened at the Harkins last saturday and it kinda weirded me out.

I don't remember people clapping after movie since I saw the first Star Wars 20 years ago.

I know it has already been said by many but this movie was fantastic. Can't wait to get the dvd.

If you want to sell that thing, thirty-two is looking for one.

people clapped in LA also, but that's not really all that uncommon out here for any event film.

Best darn summer blockbuster to come out in a long time IMO. That movie was just awesome.

 

[Mulli]

I dunno if I posted this yet, but I counted at least three times that I said "That was awesome" throughout the movie.

I still think the old Camaro was better than the new one.

Ok, I think I am going to go see it tonight. I thought I would be able to wait until HD/Bluray, but you guys have me too hyped up to not see it.

See it in the movies for sure.

I'm a cheap bastard when it comes to that. I'll take my little cousin. I saw 300, and I wasn't disappointed. 300 comes out on HD/Bluray the 31st. Of course I will be picking that up.

[Chaplin]

I'm seeing it for the 2nd time tonight at the Producers Guild of America free screening.

Lucky!

I haven't been disappointed in a movie theatre in a long, long time. I am so picky in what I see in the theatre, it is practically impossible.

Now, I have spent $5-6 on a DVD that I have been disappointed in.

I saw this movie last week and loved it...my question to all of you though is what are your thoughts on that new JJ Abrams project. It was the trailer that had no name only the date that it was coming out. There are videos all over YouTube breaking down the trailer....its currently bieng reffered to as "Untitled J.J. Abrams Project". You have to at least figure the writing and twists will be great after watching Lost.

But Transformers was an AMAZING movie, the writing was nothing special....but if you are going to this movie looking for a great story you are giogn for the wrong reason.

It's called Cloverfield and there is a thread for it. The mystery about that movie is going to get old extremely fast, IMO.

I don't know if amazing is the right word, but it was entertaining and certainly action-packed.

If amazing isn't the word then awesome is.
