So why, then, did I enjoy Transformers? Are you ready for it? This may be a first for you....it was fun.
And not fun as in "boy there were lots of explosions and the SFX were SICK!1!"
No. I think the characters were fun. The robots weren't as uninteresting as you will claim.
But the highlight of the movie for me was Shia Labeouf and his parents. They entertained me.
There you have it.
I don't think I need to say much more, seeing as the highlight of the movie were the cliche-spouting humans and not, as one might conclude, the TransFormers.

It was "cheap", but it was funny. I laughed at some of the bits. One of the first that comes to mind is the song choices on Bumblebee's radio during the scene with Megan Fox.
It wasn't genius, but it was the type of thing I can chuckle at while I sit back enjoy myself in the theater.

The movie wasn't nearly as bad as your run of the mill shitty action flick. It was much better than any other Michael Bay movie.
It was much better than your average comic book movie, or Nicolas Cage/Brendan Fraser/Jason Statham shit.
Better than dance flicks or UFC movies, or the rest of the garbage that comes out.

I see a lot of movies. I hate a lot of movies. I think it's grossly unfair to call this movie "bad" just because it isn't a "great film"
Beetlejuice wasn't a "great film". But it was both good and fun. TransFormers was bad. I'm not going to explain, again, that you can like bad movies without needing to defend them as "good" -- hell, I enjoyed Zombie's destruction of "Halloween". Not the way he'd hoped, I'm sure, but I thought it was a riot.

I see a lot of movies, too, and I don't make the "bad" or "great film" cut and dry judgments you might think. But this particular movie was just really bad.

Why are you guys arguing about opinion? If someone thinks a film is bad then that is their prerogative. I however loved "Transformers". The action was good and not overdone. The acting was decent, but what really got me was the personalities of the transformers themselves, which were really close to the original series.

So it is getting bitched slapped like Baird at a gay bar.

The first one sucked as well.

I don't think I'll bother.

I'll bitch slap you.

I might go see this, once I finally get around to seeing the last ten minutes of the first one. Watched it as a in-flight movie back in April and they turned off the entertainment system right before the bloody end.

Just came back from the movie. It was a romp. Tons of WTF moments, but a good popcorn movie nonetheless. THe booking had everyone looking strong. I hate spoiling shit for people, so I'll leave it vague.

I will say this, for a summer action flick, it was awfully spiritual.

I just got back from Transies 2 and I think I enjoyed it more than I did the first one...So far it is taking so much shit from Rotten Tomatoes. Com, but it definitely does not deserve it. I give it a 7/10. It's humor was Great!

This movie is taking a beating from the critics. Looking back, they enjoyed the first movie over this one.

Perhaps I should reconsider?

It was a lot of fun. The first one was better, but this one accomplished what it set out to. Giant robots kicked the crap out of each other, Megan Fox looked hot, shit blew up...

Roger Ebert needs to eat a dick.

Anyone going into this movie for deep philosophical discussions about how Bay related elements in the movie to the economy, politics, etc, etc., should just leave now (although the Decepticons and Autobots are clearly the Republican/Democrat parties (in no particular order)...I kid, I kid. )

I got what I expected. Nostalgia. Giant robots kicking the shit out of each other. Megatron, Starscream, Soundwave (wish we'd have seen more of him though). I am happy, and will most likely see this again.

What a movie. Unbelievable action, jaw-dropping special effects and epic fight sequences. The film is non-stop, and despite being quite long, it was extremely enjoyable all the way through. I'm sitting here trying to figure out if there were any major drawbacks to the movie, but I honestly can't find one besides the fact that it was a bit predictable at the end, but that didn't ruin anything for me.

Only thing I did notice was a background extra who looks directly into the camera at the end of a shot. He and the editor should be taken out and beaten because that was an easy ass fix that they missed in post.

Great movie though. Go see it. And this is coming from a guy who isn't a giant Transformers nerd and didn't really like the first one all that much.

8/10

Yeah, It was great. Way too long though.

My only gripes (Minor at best)

- Too Long
- Sideswipe kicks ass in the start, and is barely seen again.
- The twins sucked.
- Were there 3 Arcees?
- Too many characters, not enough time for them all

Pros
- Much better story
- Amazing action
- Great fight scenes
- Devastator
- The Decepticons kicked ass
- DEVASTATOR

Plot was a huge mess. Kind of dragged and poorly paced.

The humor and action were still amusing though. They made it bearable. It wasn't as good as the first one. It lost a lot of the charm, and overall was more bloated and all over the place.
I still enjoyed myself though. I don't think I really will want to see it again at any point, but I got my moneys worth and it was a positive theater going experience.

Really don't see how the plot was a huge mess. Seemed pretty straight forward to me.

Been reading all these reviews for the film and God, I just had to stop due to all the negativity pouring in. It's like these people watched a completely different movie than I did.

How? It was simple as it could be! There were little kids in the theater that got it.

Bad Robots come to destroy earth, good ones try to stop them. Along the way we learn there is more than meets the eye (Intended) to the story.

Pretty fucking simple.

The crystal dagger thing is no different from The Ring in LOTR in that it's the thing that both sides want to gain control over in order to unlock or destroy unimaginable power (that will kill everyone, btw). In fact, it's exactly like LOTR, what with the whole prologue thing featuring the ancient tribes seeing the Fallen building the sun destroyer thing, which matches with the prologue in Fellowship. The fight over the magical object creates a war between opposite sides, in which one person and his friend (Frodo/Sam and Sam//Mikala) must take the object and destroy it admist the chaos.
SPOILER: show
You can even compare Optimus Prime's fall and resurrection to that of Gandalf's in Two Towers.


I mean the plot is pretty basic shit.
