Saw it yesterday.

I want to have sex with this movie. So freaking awesome.

However, if you are the overly cynical type, or a hardcore transformers nerd, I'm sure you will find some way to ruin it for yourself.

I'm a hardcore TF nerd, and the movie just replaced Jesus.

Being that I'm still in that elated "Best Movie Ever" phase, I'm gonna wait a few before posting my review on the movie.

Blackout and Barricade's transformations got applauded at my theater, as well as the Autobot introductions. Great laughs, great action; go see this movie.

If I could lay any kind of criticism on it, it's that the dialogue of the transformers themselves was overly campy, although I think that was done a bit on purpose to capture the old feel of the cartoons. And it actually works, and gives those who watched said cartoons a nostalgic feeling. However, it creates a noticeable contrast with the way the rest of the movie is presented.

This is of course an EXTREMELY minor gripe, and I still want to rape the movie.

Also Shia Lebouf is pretty funny in this.

While I was watching it again the other day...when you first see Frenzy in the film people all round me were going "Oh my god...Soundwave!!!"

Did anyone else hear this or was it just me?

I agree with whoever said "Too much black comedy."

I also think there was too much comedy, in general. The scene where they're going for the glasses was funny, but way too long. And the little TF who turned into a CD player had too many pointless scenes, but that's only about 2 minutes of the movie.

Otherwise, GReatness. One of the best action flicks of the last few years. I don't know what they've changed, and I don't really care. Watching robots kick the shit out of one another was worth the 5.50.

That would be Frenzy...many people hated him but if you think about it he was a very crucial character to the film (spoilers) Frenzy was the one that finally hacked in and discovered Sam and his glasses...and about the Iceman..with out him the Decepticons would of never found Sam and the Autobots would of won with no hassel. Plus he was also the one that helped take down the computers and helped Defrost Megatron from the inside

As far as comedy goes in the film...the only scene that I laughed at but didnt care for much was the "Bumblebee Lubricating" scene....the whole theater laughed and I laughed at first but it was just one of those scenes that I didnt really care much for.

Well after a day of viewing, here's my take on it. Highlight for spoilers.

That was Frenzy? All this time when I first saw that boombox I figured that would either be Blaster or Soundwave. But instead it was this thing. So where were the piledrivers?

Did anybody else shed a tear or two or call for the head of the writer who had Jazz killed off? I walked out of that theatre pissed and sad at the same time knowing that a staple was killed off.

Anybody know any rumors or mention of Devastator being in the next film? Because Bonecrusher got fucking owned quick by Prime. Wonder if he might come back.

"To punish and enslave" Best. Slogan. Ever.

Megan Fox is hot.

I think they could have cut out the Defense Department rookies. In the end, they really wern't necessary.
That's all for now.

I'm not saying the character shouldn't have been there, but most of the scenes were pointless.

The "Lubricating" btit was pointless, but I'd take that over "are you masturbating?"

Loved it. What a big summer blockbuster should be. There was a lot more humour than I would've expected, but it worked very well. I found pretty much all the major characters likable (Sidenote-It's been said before, but Megan Fox= ). Action scenes were well done. Transformations were badass. My only gripe is that it felt a little overlong. Other than that, as good as I could expect a movie of this type to be.

I eat my words. It was way better than I expected, and was actually pretty damn good. I didn't think a good Transformers live action movie was possible, but somehow they did it and did it damn well

Matinee showing at the Latchis is 5.50. Only problem is it's usually got a shit selection, it's kinda run down, and so on. But they're a historical theater, and so changing from the projecxctors they were using in 1885 would be like letting the terrorists win.

I am the biggest Transformers fan here bar none. I will buy a round trip ticket (or simply drive) to where you live and kick you square in the head then the balls then the head again if you try to argue with me.

Anyhow, with that being established. I like parts of the movie, and didn't like others.

First parts I didn't like:

1. Bubblebee is a fucking VW Beetle, not a Corvette. And Megatron is a gun, not a jet. Also, Barricade? There are no Decipticons that are cars. Only Autobots and be cars.

2. The robots were kinda ugly...but I can get past that.

3. Why did they have cybertron blown up?

4. Why couldn't they just get Frank Weller?

5. The hell is this All-Spark crap?

6. Sam Witwicky? Is it that hard to call him Sam "Spike" Witwicky?

7. Why did the robots swing around like fuckin' monkeys?

Things I like:

1. I'll admit I got all chocked up when Prime said, "One shall stand, and one shall fall."

Actaully, come to think of it, that is the only part I actaully really liked. It conjured up so much of my childhood.

Just side notes and nit-picking:

1. Why did they name the boom box Frenzy? Freny was a tape cassette, Soundwave is the boom box. But since the boom box character was nothing like Soundwave, I guess I'll let it past. They should have had it's robot form be a bird type creater and named it Lazerbeak on account that was Lazerbeaks role in the old cartoons.

2. Why did they kill jazz? It we barely got to know him in the movie.

3. I wonder if there is going to be a sequal, and if the main villian will be Galvetron or Unicron.

Side note:

Unicron > Galactus.

BTW, Did they kill starscream in the movie. I don't remember if they shot him down or not. And when they were throwing them into the ocean, I didn't really reconize the robots.

A few answers to the two posts above me....

They had him come in and do some voice work but in the end his voice did not match the new image they were trying to create...thus he didnt get the part..however he does do the voice in the video game.

Yes there will be a sequel...Soundwave has been confirmed

Starscream Question: (spoilers) Starscream is not dead...if you stick around during the credits, after they show the two scenes of Sam's mom and dad being interviewed you can catch a scene of Starscream leaving Earths atmostphere...along with Starscream there are also two more Decepticons that are alive...

Barricade was beaten up in the beginning but can be seen again later on in the movie during a chase scene...that is the last you see of him so either that scene was put in as a mistake or he was just never killed off...I would expect him in the next film.

Also....Scorponok...he was shot but burrowed in the dirt....There was never any confirmation that he was dead so best guess is that he is still around also.

All of the decepticons were "killed". I realize you love the franchise more than me, and of course know more. But regardless of that you have to get past some of that shit and realize that in order for anything to ever be adapted into a movie changes must be made. Why was bumblebee not a beetle? And why were decepticons cars?
I can answer those questions for you without knowing everything about transformers. It makes for better chase scenes and cooler looking shit on screen.
I loved when Optimus would say "autobots, roll out"

Starscream was the F-22, right? Despite the end scene dealy, there was wreckage of an F-22 in the shit they were trashing. Probably one of the legit planes he downed, then.

It isn't just a cartoon, it is a life style.

Also, I'm going to have to second RDD in the spaces you have. They are gay.

As for KK, I didn't notice the wreckage. The screen at the theather we were at was crap and short and kinda blurred every so often.

I'm pretty sure I saw F22 wreckage in with the rest of the Decepticons. I could be wrong, but perhaps it was intentionally done to "mislead."

I didn't bother watching after the Witwickys. The people at the theater turned the lights on, which they normally don't do if there is anything at the end.

LOVED this movie, and I never watched the show when I was a kid. I knew about the Transformers, and I knew a few names like Optimus Prime and Megatron, as well as a few that I'd heard on the internet.

Yet, they still managed to make you really want the Autobots to win, and they made you realize that they really were alive and not just machines.

Also....


"1. Bubblebee is a fucking VW Beetle, not a Corvette. And Megatron is a gun, not a jet. Also, Barricade? There are no Decipticons that are cars. Only Autobots and be cars."

He was a Camaro in the movie, not a Corvette. Also, in the movie in case you didn't notice, they can take -any- shape. That is why Bumblebee changed from the old car to the newer one, and of course how Frenzy took the shape of the phone as well as the stereo.

They did at least pay tribute to him being a VW in the cartoon by having a yellow bug in the car sales scene.

Also..

"Bumblebee's classic alternate mode was a Volkswagen Beetle, but this was changed to a Camaro. This is because the makers of Volkswagen do not want their vehicles associated with "war toys." Jazz can no longer be a Porche for the same reason."

"Megatron's classic alternate mode was a Walther P38 pistol, but Hasbro the owners, and official distributors of the toyline stated that they would not produce a gun of any kind for their characters (it's also illegal to make replica toy guns in several jurisdictions). Also the writers thought it was like "having Darth Vader transform into his own lightsaber and someone else swinging him around," so it was changed to an "interstellar jet." Megatron was also given a less humanoid face to make him more menacing."

1. Bubblebee is a fucking VW Beetle, not a Corvette. And Megatron is a gun, not a jet. Also, Barricade? There are no Decipticons that are cars. Only Autobots and be cars.

2. The robots were kinda ugly...but I can get past that.

3. Why did they have cybertron blown up?

4. Why couldn't they just get Frank Weller?

5. The hell is this All-Spark crap?

6. Sam Witwicky? Is it that hard to call him Sam "Spike" Witwicky?

7. Why did the robots swing around like fuckin' monkeys?
1. Vdub wants nothing to do with TF. I'm surprised it appeared in the car dealer scene.

2. I loved the designs; very alien, some cases very scary. The Autobot faces seem overly cuddly.

3. I figure Cybertron dead, not blown up. I could be wrong or missed a line.

4. His voice didn't fit Meg's current look. He lends his voice to the game counter-part if that's any relief. Hugo Weeving did great.

5. The film universe version of energon, compressed into a single relic. I conclude that it created Cybertron and all the TFs in a violent state ("We weren't so different once" - Prime). They eventually got all peaceful until Megs got all jiggy wit it.

6. Either or.

7. I won't begin to debate the natural movements of Non-Biological beings.
