[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] This is a great movie if you go to it expecting what you'd see at a TRANSFORMERS flick. [/ QUOTE ] Sorry, I have to comment on this one little bit above. What defines a TRANSFORMER flick? The only other reference is the movie from the 80s and that was light years ahead in character development and story…
Its like making a sequel to Fallout. No matter what you do with it, you're doomed to be lambasted by the zealots. From my perspective, Transformers in undeniably a silly, cheesy premise, but its fun. I think in trying to make the movie a more serious premise, Bay might have lost some of that fun, judging by the trailers.…
I saw it yesterday and I'm mixed on it. I'll start by admitting that I know it was rated PG-13, but I figured it was because of the violence and maybe some swearing. They did realize kids would want to see this movie, right? But then the movie theater decides to run the trailers for Chuck and Larry, so my 10 year old is…
Daz, nope I'm still confused. And I probably always will be when people get uppity over action movies. Even more confusing are those who've an opinion of the 'check your brain at the door' mentality of movie-going. And with that said... I never once said to check your brain at the door. Nor did I suggest it be done.…
[ QUOTE ] Wow dude now thats s stretch, to complain about the pose of a render... Its A render, just one pose that shows off the form or something that the PR guys thought would help sell tickets. Its not like the entire film is of them in that pose, they do move and transform after all... [/ QUOTE ] I just agreed with…
[ QUOTE ] and considering the Transformers started out as an excuse to flog a bunch of toys I think its done remarkably well. [/ QUOTE ] I may be misreading you hear but I hear this brought up over and over again as if noone is aware of this. If you speak to the writers of these cartoons you'll find that they never thought…
My take on it. I don't care if its nothing like the previous transformer films. But it is michael bay which leads me to believe it will be a lot of shakey cam and things blowing up a lot, with very little meat or substance. If thats the kind of thing that pleases you than you should like it. I've just seen too many…
Supermans costume is pure cheese but they keep it to respect the character and to keep people from getting pissed. Cause people would be pissed if they change it. And that's exactly what you're seeing here when you compare: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/199/492646757_669b6db37a_o.jpg two very different characters, one…
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…
Brome, See, with your "realistic expectations" and Michael Bay comment; you are saying the same thing as those talking about leaving the mind at the door. Again, it should be about the movie, not having to go in to only enjoy it by looking at it in a two dimensional perspective. Knowing Transformers, and understanding them…
