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…
[ QUOTE ] The Transformers cartoon wasn't War & Peace, but it took itself seriously. [/ QUOTE ] wow... did you just type that? you obviously haven't seen much of G1... Should I remind you of the episode where Seaspray turns into a 'merman with big metal feet' and falls in love with a human female? What about when all the…
haha man, I don't know... this thread if awfully funny to read at how 'disappointed' people are with the movie. It's Transformers. You know, giant robots that come to earth and fight each other? They transform from vehicles into robots 4x the vehicles size ? (IMPOSSIBLE!) The fact that there's a cheesy "unknown government…
[ 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 its budget…
I signed up for a movie about giant robots, and thats exactly what I got. I loved the entire movie. It's Transformers - I expected a cheese-dick story. It delivered, I was happy. Loved it all. I wish though that they'd have done the Megatron/Starscream relationship a bit more. A do like though that Optimus Primes…
I just don't see it like that. Making a G1 movie is serving me the same meal I ate 20 years ago, except they've put it on a different plate. I know what G1 TF tastes like, I wanna eat something else. I don't get the Superman comparison. Transformers will still have earth vehicles turning into giant robots, and the cosmetic…
[ QUOTE ] But i'm actually more of a unified theorist when it comes to quints / unicron and moreso a quint fan. I think for a live action film a unified theory could somehow tie both lineages in while making both entities equally as powerful as they were portrayed in the toons / comics. [/ QUOTE ] Brut please stop. With…
You know that when you go see this movie you'll get cheesy dialogue/story, a small romance thing and some comic relief. I was worried that there would be too much of that stuff and not enough cool CG robots kicking ass. It was much better that I expected and I thought the CG stuff rocked. Waiting for the DVD now so I can…
