Utterly abominable. I did not want campy, tongue-in-cheek Transformers. Taco Bell dogs in casts and robots peeing on people are puerile to the point of being offensive. This is independent of the source material; Batman Begins was based on a comic book sold to kids, but was treated seriously and a fantastic movie was the…
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Sure, you got a bit more characterization from it, but it was animated. You didn't have to worry about budgets for having the robots on screen at all times. [/ QUOTE ] that's the wickedest awesomest excuse i've heard yet. "Cmon guys its the budget give them a break". Listen when a movie is bad because…
i got an older brother that really dug this movie, so i went to see it yesterday. it's going to be hard to talk to him about it, because boy i just couldn't dig it. i'm sure somewhere in these nerd-ragin' 8 pages my position has more or less been covered, but mostly i don't like this film purely on aesthetic grounds. even…
I SAW IT NOW TOO OMG!!! I realized at the end of the movie that i had completely forgotten about the CG, which is a good thing, very well done. Things i didn't like, like others i guess : Fight scenes, shaky BS. Unless you know Brawl from the movie toy, you'll have no idea how he looks as a robot at the end of the movie. I…

[ QUOTE ] ... it will not be terrible cause optimus has lips. It will be terrible cause Michael Bay is a terrible director. [/ QUOTE ] Actually, I think it will be terrible because it has robots that turn into cars. Sure, Michael Bay did not help the situation any, but look at the source material to begin with. Personally…
Saw it a second time, with what I consider a 'normal crowd', and it received an ovation when it was done, not from everyone, but from the majority of the theater. My friend and I looked at each other and commented on how rare that is on the third day from a non 'hardcore' crowd. I say 'mission accomplished'. Urinating…
I saw it on Friday the 13th, work took us to go as a moral event. It was a great flick I look forward to seeing how it evolves. I have a bunch of nit-picky stuff that bugged me but it didn't spoil the movie, I still liked it and would see it again. Things that bugged me: - Too organic and overly complicated. I knew this…
Great FX, meh story. If Michael Bay didn't do a 1/2 hour of slow-mo shots it would have been a 2 hour movie. I really can't stand all of them. I have to agree with 3DGuy about the action hard to follow. The robots are so complex that when they are wrestling or whatever it's impossible to tell what's happening. I strangely…
Okay, on the topic of Megatron I can agree that the movie design is NOT a good design. It's very muddled and indistinct. I'd say that about it regardless of what it's supposed to be. I'm not going to say anything about ticket or toy sales. Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay didn't come up with these designs, just like George…
