Clip from Leno:


T-minus 3 weeks until the movie of the summer opens. We've seen spider-men, pirates, and fantastic families but when was the last time we seen giant robots... sneaking in backyards..?

Discussions and eventually reviews right here, kids.

None of them are compact cars, though Jazz is pretty small. According to ILM, the dimensions are as 'realistic' as transforming robots can be. Every piece is accounted for and all that.

I love the trailer...

But that clip so makes me pissed that this movie is gonna blow. I know this movie will rock because right now I have very very low expectations for it...pretty much the same expectations that I have for the DOA movie...

I know I can watch DOA right now, but I'll wait for the American DVD release. Feels odd getting something like this after Europe.

I don't really have any expectations for this movie other than sitting down for 2 hrs and spacing out watching robots. In the best case scenario, it will be Independence Day good. In the worst, it will be like any other Michael Bay crap.
I could care less about Transformers and their fanboys. They were cool toys and a good cartoon, nothing more nothing less. If this movie sucks nobody should be suprised, and there is no way in hell its gonna be "great".
At best it will be tolerable and deliver a well paced brain numbing action movie with cool effects.

All I know is word of mouth so far is that it is a kick ass movie. My roommate works at Paramount and he says the executives, ones who are usually huge prics, that are coming out of the screenings acting like they're 12 years old, they can't believe what they saw. And that wasn't even the finished product.

I was never that into Transformers, and I'm not a big Shia fan, but since I've moved out here and from what my roommate has told me it is going to be pretty awesome. I'm getting rather excited.

I saw it last night, and I actually really enjoyed it. Maybe it's because I always approach these big summer blockbusters with a degree of skepticism, or maybe the crapfactory that was Fantastic Four 2 subliminally lowered my expectations of other 'big' films this summer, but Transformers was actually a really fun, enjoyable movie. Yeah, there was some grimace-worthy dialogue (I have never once in my life heard someone refer to their own salary as "ridiculous"), but the action scenes were done very well, and even the obligatory one-liners and humour drops weren't awful.

The movie was well paced; none of this 'build the story for hours and then let everyone down with a single crap battle' stuff, Matrix Revolutions_style.

Visually, the movie was stunning. The Transformers - even the radically redesigned Decepticons - stole the movie. Duh. But they were awesome. I felt 10 years old again for pretty much every second there was a robot on screen. Optimus Prime was amazing; the fact they had the same guy do the voice from the '80's cartoon probably added to it, but god, I love Optimus Prime. All the Autobots were very endearing actually, the movie did a really good job at making you want the Autobots to win. Megatron was cool, but honestly, you could put a robotic echo on Agent Smith's speech about humans being a virus and it would've fit the Megatron voice that Weaving provided to a tee. Ah well, it was still awesome. So was Starscream, actually. He didn't speak much, but he was evil to the core. Sure, he looks nothing like the Starscream I know and love from the cartoon, but he was kickass anyway.

However (spoilers may follow, though these are mostly shallow gripes that are here because I need to gripe about stuff always):

- I could not get over the federal agent who kept talking like a valley girl. "This is *such* a federal offence", "This is *so* not good", "You are *so* in trouble right now". Come on. The man is like 40 years old working for a super-secret government sector and he's talking like he's at the mall. Ugh. And as mentioned above, one guy actually says, "I would bet my ridiculous government salary on it". Ludicrous dialogue in some parts.

- The Secretary of Defence seemed to go from knowledgeable, teched-up man in charge to instantly senile like halfway through the movie.

- Because of the sheer size of the Transformers, during cluttered battle scenes you'd only really see partials of them, which made it pretty difficult to determine who was who. The Autobots are all relatively distinct, but the Decepticons, notably Starscream and Megatron (especially since they were both jets), were pretty easy to mix up if you weren't seriously focusing.

- SO MUCH BLACK HUMOUR. Not the macabre kind, the racial kind. Every black person (with the exception of the super-serious army man) in this film is a wise-crackin', grandma-yellin', chuckle factory. It hurts a bit, to be honest, because there's only so much of that shit I can take in a given period, but to have not only Bernie Mac but that fat guy from Me, Myself and Irene shooting blackisms at the screen was a bit of an overload.

Still, these are all fairly minor gripes in what otherwise was a pretty impressive film, especially for a summer blockbuster. Sure, the plot wasn't the thickest ever (not that that hurts, after convolution-fests like Spider-Man 3), but the visuals were great, the actors were good (can't have been easy filming/acting/reacting to a number of characters who only get put in later), and at the end of the day, really, the movie is about giant robots wanting to blow the crap out of each other.

And that, my friends, is a pretty impossible thing to screw up.

Ordinary viewer's perspective: 7.5/10
Transformers fan in me: 8.5/10

Go see it.

I'm in the middle of watching the first season of the cartoon now. I really hope there's a sequel to the movie, because Soundwave was the most badass of all the transformers, and yet didn't make the movie lineup.

Optimus Prime may have been the most noble and Megatron the most powerful, but Laserbeak and Ravage didn't obey either of their every command, dammit.

Yeah apparently Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime) and the two human leads have signed on for at least another film, with possibly a third in the works.

What frightens me is they're talking about bringing in like the Dinobots and stuff. Might make it a bit hard to swallow for casual fans. Ah well.

(Posted this in the "Transformers is pissing me off or something thread...)

I saw an advanced screening.

HOLY SHIT, fucking awesome movie. Thin story but who gives a shit? It's giant fucking robots beating the shit out of each other and destroying L.A. in the process.

Such a wild ride. The transformations are done really well and their voices work quite well. Some funny parts too, throughout.

Megan Fox is SMOKING HOT.

So yeah, definitely worth checking out.

P.S. Never was that big of a fan of the cartoon. I knew who Optimus Prime was (who doesn't?) but that's pretty much it.

The movie showed up at our theater today. One can was regular and easy to get into. The other was locked with a combination lock and we will be sent the code on Monday, the day of it's first showing. Which means we can't advance screen it to employees to make sure there are no problems with the print.

That sucks.

So, we're trying to crack the code by trying every possible combination on one of the cans. Well, it's mostly me with a $120 reward if I manage to get it. There are 10,000 possible solutions, and I've tried 3,000 them. I'll have it cracked by Saturday, in all likelihood.

That would be the original Transformers cartoon.

Typical 80s cartoon so it's a little weak. It gets better though.

GODS I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS MOVIE!

Yeah i saw the movie last thursday and I really enjoy it. Some random thoughts.

It was much funnier than i thought as well and the main actor that played sam was really good and i was preety surpised by his performance seeing as i have never heard of him before.

The effects where awesome and the whole movie had a preety cool feel. Like Mitch said it was hard to distinguish between megatron and starscream at times.

Megan Fox was immense and Rachel Taylor was hot as well.

I thought there was too much focus on the guys from sector 7 and the senator of defense at times. Less human characters more transformer screen time. I mean most of the desceptcons where hardily in it. I would have loved to have seen some more starscream.


But the best part was the start of the movie with AGENT AARON FUCKING PEICE FROM 24 at the start.

I watched Transformers as a kid, but not enough to remember hardly any characters or storylines. So I wouldn't class myself as a fanboy, but I reckon it will be good.

As soon as I saw the trailer, with the kid as the key story-progressing protagonist, I kinda knew the story/acting/idea would suck, but fuck man, can't people just be positive and excited about the fact the effects look pretty sweet.

Some films I like with the fact you'll just be able to watch it for something that definately looks good, rather than wanting it all to match expectations of either simular films in the genre or being true to the primary material.

Is that a bunch of crap or does at least one person understand?

Never seen the cartoon, had a few of the toys but was never a massive Transformers fans. Everything i've seen so far makes we want to see the movie though.

ABC Warriors v Transformers for the sequel! Some chance...

I didn't realise that the guy who did Optimus Prime was Ramrod in Saber Rider.

Just saw it...

I wasnt disapointed...but I wasnt fulfilled in the end...It just felt like it missing something to me.

Michael Bay needs to learn to shoot some scenes from a few feet away. There was way too many damn shots where the camera was focuses on one small parts (specifically in the fights between the bots....couldnt tell what the hell was going on most notable during the first scene.

Didnt really live up to the high expectations I had for it but then again I wasnt disapointed.
