that was good. i hate michael bay. like the megan fox scenes, why cant you have a scene where you can just focus on her for like 5 minutes?.. you know like a regular movie! also, i enjoyed how they had scenes where the autobots gathered together and discussed stuff. just like in the cartoons. the decepticons do that in the cartoon where megatron and starscream argue etc.. where was that?
that reminded so much of Independence Day. uggh, the more i think about this movie, the more i think it sucked. Spoiler can anyone tell me why it took Prime ten minutes to show up during the final battle in the city when the rest of the autobots were there? edit: n/m, i remember him fighting with Bonecrusher all of ten seconds. did they NOT 'ride' together? also, why was Jazz still in car mode parked while bumblebee and ironhide were getting their asses kicked?
Character development in a Michael Bay film? Sure...I'm also a little disappointed in the lack of special effects in pornos recently...
Spoiler intense temperatures disabling transformers makes no sense. dumbass Michael Bay disregards a bunch of common sense just to move along a story. if cold temperatures is what kept Megatron from operating than how did he travel through space? as for intense heat, Starscream seemed to be just fine as he blasted through the atmosphere. ok, this movie has officially gone under the "sucks" category for me.
is that too much to ask, even from Micheal Bay? really, i didn't expect much and that's what i got, and i'm still disappointed.. my feeling is, anyone could have done what Micheal Bay did, just better. i like more than eye candy in movies.
Spoiler not sure what is in the sabre rounds exactly which tore a hole in scorponok, they suggested it was a high thermal type round. but figure that to be a bit cooler than atmospheric burn so not sure on that could be the way the impact of the shell hits the metal. megatron could have landed on earth in a ship or pod (but retained his cybertron form) intense cold did disable jetfire in the cartoons as he was stranded in the north pole so that isnt too much of a stretch saying the cold kept him there. the one thing that sucked was how they made devestator the tank, granted that devestator did kick a lot of ass i wish they named the tank something else. wonder if they'll have any of the combining transformers in any sequels, constructicons (probably not now), stunticons, rescue bots, aerial bots, combaticons, predacons
what i've read is they were supposed to correct that and name him Brawl. apparently, Bay didn't get teh message.
yeah i thought he would be named brawl as well. fyi for those who might not know Brawl was the name of the combaticon that was a tank
yeah he was in the cartoon in the comics jetfire was created by shockwave as one of the first new legions of decepticons to be built on earth along with the constructicons.
I thought the movie was good, not great. There was plenty of cheese. The action was as mind-blowing as some sources hyped it to be, but there was enough action that it really didn't feel like 2.5 hours. As for character development, who cares. If none of the Transformers had even talked, it would have been fine. It's a giant robot movie and it's Michael Bay. Use your own judgement before you go.
Character development is pretty much at a zero level in this movie, esp. on Tformers side, if you do know who the characters are before hand, they might all just blend end together, esp. true on the Decep. side That being said I enjoyed it quite a bit and am going to see it again tomorrow nite. I've never had a dislike for Bay, I've enjoyed his movies for what they are, big budget action flick with tons of explosions and lots of dusk drenched sunlight scenes and hokey dialogue. I thought he was perfect for this franchise and didn't let me down in the action department. Lots of it and it made the 2 and half hours fly by. As for issues part of the plot, it didn't bother me because if your going to try and apply logic to a movie about alien robots then you're just not going to enjoy the movie regardless.
Exactly...it's Transformers. As I recall the tv show wasn't exactly grounded in scientific fact either. Enjoy it for what it is...a great summer action flick with giant f***ing robots!
So what's the point of even having a movie if you can't demand some sort of logic. Yes, we all know that in the real world, there aren't any Transformers. Just because that's a fact doesn't mean you shouldn't pay attention to other leaps of logic. I had a decent time watching the movie, I just think it could've been done so much better. So many characters that were really meaningless to the story.
is it really the absence of logic that disappointed you? you say yourself you were able to suspend your belief in regard to the transformers themselves, yet you're unwilling to look past minor inconsistencies. its not like the film was devoid of logic; it just had its share of plot holes and 'yeah right' moments like any other movie. was the fact that nobody noticed the robots in the backyard really your biggest complaint, or is there some real problem with the logic of the movie itself rather than a couple scenes that were intentionally ridiculous for comic relief? if a movie's alignment with your sense of logic is the gauge of quality for you, you must hate comedies, what with all the irrational and completely unbelievable things that go on.
