transformers

Great movie! And Megan Fox is my future wife.

You think the 80's Transformers cartoons were bad? Does anybody remember watching any of the old GI Joe 'toons? ... or the movie of that? WOW. Even back then, I found it a little bit hard to stomach ... but it was certainly better than the other crap that was on at the time. I was always rushing my happy arse home from school to flip on WGN to watch Transformers and GI Joe episodes played back-to-back for most of the weekdays - 3pm to 4 or 5pm were the best hours of TV Mon-Fri, back then.

Optimus Prime getting killed off in the Transformers movie was a major downer for me as a kid. I was all kinds of when they brought him back in that one special TV episode, later on. And then, for whatever reason, they just up and stopped playing episodes on TV. And then the toy product line sort of disappeared, and then ... well, I hit puberty, and bewbies became my favorite toy.

Ended up watching it tonight. I liked it.

yeah, my girlfriend wanted to see it as much as i did. It was awesome!

My friend cried when he saw 3 GTO's taken out...i just laughed.

That Camaro was wicked.

I was worried it was going to suck. If it's as good as you guys say, I'll have to see it ASAP.

Don't get me started. If you are a real Transformers fan and you liked that movie you have problems. It was an awesome looking movie, don't get me wrong. The special effects and the action were great. But from a Transformers perspective it was total garbage. There was no character development with the Autobots at all, Megatron is barely even in it, The transformers are made to be funny. There are so many things that were bad. I understand that everything can't be the same but they didn't even try. There is a guy on Yahoo reviews that gave it like a D + on the reviews and he nailed everything on the head. He also said this, which I thought was hilarious

So for this movie to make you happy it would of had to been what?, about 5 hours long? There was a whole lot to pack into one movie, which was already pretty long.

I was into transformers when i was a kid, and i thought this movie held true to the original cartoon theme as much as any movie based on a comic book or cartoon i've ever seen.

I hate when people look too much into movies and disect them.

I for one, enjoyed this movie as much as any i've ever seen in a theater.

Well I hate when people accept crappy renditions of possibly the best cartoon/toy ever made. Tell me, what yould you rather like to see? Tyrese running around with a bunch of humans trying to fight this gigantic robot, while Anthony Anderson and Jon Voight are fighting some turd of a robot after eating a plate full of donuts. Or another car chase with that badass Mustang or maybe a fight involving one of the other Transformers that are barely even in the damn movie? The movie is supposed to be about the Autobots and Decepticons, not hearing about some fat guy eat a plate full of donuts. Don't get me wrong here, I laughed at all the jokes, and I enjoyed all the special effects just as much as anyone else, but I think they should have done it differently. There was that whole stupid scene where Gigantic robots are hiding outside of Sam's (it should have been Spike, also dumb) house while he finds those dumb glasses. They could have easily taken that time and developed the characters a little more. The plot was bad too. I don't want to ruin anything else for anyone else but they could have done a better job with that.
I will be the first to admit that I am a huge nitpicker when it comes to movies, but this is the only movie besides X-Men 3 that I did not like. I love what people have done with Spider-Man, Superman, and Batman, but I feel that they could have done a better job with the Transformers. But I guess excuse me for wanting more than just a couple explosions, some awesome special effects, and some hot @ss girl.

Go watch Go-Bots

Family and myself thought it was a very good movie, awesome special effects! Loved that Saleen Stang, sounded mean.
