I liked the cute little George Bush impersonation they threw in there. That made me chuckle.

**94 SVT Cobra** · 07-07-2007, 03:56 AM

I just got back from seeing it tonight and actually i thought it was pretty good. didnt even notice how long it was really, but then again, i didnt mind either. Nice to see them not fuck it up as bad as we thought they would.

Megatron looked fuckin BADASS IMO

**Shadow** · 07-07-2007, 10:24 PM

I agree with the Corba guy. Megs was more then Badass. And the thing is...I didn't even notice it was Hugo doing the voice. If I didn't know about it previouslly, I would've guessed Welker did Megatron.

I soooooooooo enjoyed this movie. Everything about it was rocking. I especially loved the eye candy we had in Megan Fox. She can steal my car any time.

**UmbrellaCorporation** · 07-08-2007, 05:50 PM

Yeah, I think the only reason I noticed it was Hugo Weaving doing the voice, was because I was actively LISTENING for Weaving, since I knew about it beforehand.

Regardless, he did an awesome job, and this movie destroyed.

I was trying to tell my friends that the whole reason I was hyped up for Spider Man 3 was because of Venom. And Venom was the MAIN reason I saw Spider Man 3. But as an entirety, Transformers blew Spider Man 3 out of the water, no questions asked.

And *SPOILERS - Highlight* Starscream lived? Also, did anyone notice the fact that he kinda blended in with the jets that were shooting at Megatron near the end? That doesn't necessarily MEAN he was being traitorous, but considering the nature of the character...it isn't much of a stretch. Food for thought. Regardless, Starscream = Win.

All I know is if we get Soundwave in the next one, I am so happy.

Above my post above. Looks like Kalyx beat me to that theory.

**Splaya** · 07-08-2007, 07:16 PM

So here's the deal, I was up north during this weekend and was like Damn I'll miss this movie.

It rained one night so we went to watch it at a danky run down movie theater with no surround sound.

I have tickets to go see it in Surround sound Tuesday. That should tell you how much I enjoyed this movie.

First of all: It blew Spider Man 3 out of the water. Anyone who says SM3 was better is just a diehard Spidey fan. Compare the 2 and you'll realize that even though it was the first Transformers movie, and had fresher characters, think back when the cartoon was on. If someone told you that they would make a movie in the future, where it was not animated, had a lot of CGI in it, wouldn't you just drool from the thought?

**Boomer** · 07-08-2007, 10:55 PM

Just finishing seeing it twenty minutes ago.

Didn't enjoy it very much, but I have no nostalgia for it because I never watched it as a child.

I enjoyed (most of) the humor. But IMO, there was not one solidified long action sequence. Like they would gain some momentum and then just cut it completely just to show off how hot Megan Fox was. I guess I just expected some fucking long ass fight sequences rather than a 25 second scene with slow motion mixed in showing Prime kicking somebodies ass instantly.

Near the beginning of the movie the huge rock riff started and everyone in the audience started going apeshit expecting some huge shit to go down and then all of a sudden the battle comes to a screeching halt. We were all anticipating, but never got 100%. A lot of people still applauded at the end though.

Product placement started getting a little ridiculous, though I'll let all car product placement pass because all the cars were fucking beautiful.

Oh and the special effects were amazing of course...though I frequently lost the Transformers a lot in the backdrops of the city. But that wasn't a huge deal.

**Pinnacle Charisma** · 07-09-2007, 12:54 AM

And with the all spark did anyone watch the awesome beast wars series.

The thing was that every transformer had a spark and when a spark would come down from space or whatever the spart would turn into a transformer and from thier heart.

So maybe they got thier idea from that.

**Vastardikai** · 07-09-2007, 03:39 AM

It was decent. It wasn't anywhere near Transformers the Movie (The animated movie that was more intense, had a better soundtrack, and told a better story), but it was decent in its own right.

I liked how Starscream seriously owned. However, I wonder if there will be some dumbasses to protest this, like they protested 300. Spoiler in Black: Since Megatron seemed to be the only Decepticon that could speak English. That just screams anti-Immigrant, doesn't it?

**Kalyx triaD** · 07-09-2007, 09:45 AM

Starscream and Barricade spoke english. And anyone this far into the thread without having seen the movie will just have to deal with spoilers. When it's an official movie thread sort of thing, expect spoilers.

Okay... Let's start the sequel discussion, shall we?

Starscream leads the 'Cons now I guess. And what part do you think they have planned for Soundwave?

**Vastardikai** · 07-09-2007, 07:31 PM

^

It seemed like it to me.

Anyway, I'd pay to see Starscream lead the 'Cons. Even get him a kick ass crown for the job. Then, at the peak of his celebration, we find out that Megatron isn't dead, and has been ressurected... as Galvatron. Galvatron then shoots and kills Starscream, and takes over his throne. In the process, he crushes the Kick Ass Crown underfoot.

Oh yeah, that was Transformers the Movie.

btw, Transformers the Movie > Transformers.

I watched it and enjoyed it.

But I thought those were just stasis pods or whatever they called them. The Maximals were carrying them with them on their mission to a new planet or something, but then the Predacons caught up to them and Primal had to dump them in orbit before they crashed on what would be eEarth. Every few episodes one would crash land and it would be a race to activate it, then it would scan the nearest item, in this case an animal. And it would a big surprise at the end of the episode and which side it would take.

**Shadow** · 07-10-2007, 01:31 AM

We had a total of 6 become new characters on Beast Wars.

4 of which ended up dead.

**Avenger** · 07-11-2007, 11:48 PM

Just saw this movie. Never watched the cartoon as a kid but most of this film absolutely sucked. Terrible script, acting and plotlines.

**Nervous Ferret** · 07-12-2007, 12:23 AM

Hate this movie because like 12 people say Shia Labeouff reminds them of me

**YOUR Hero** · 07-12-2007, 09:53 AM

I never watched this stuff before the movie and I found it to be ok. The characters were tough to differentiate a little. Glad I saw it, they had some nice visuals, but pound for pound, Die Hard kicked it's ass.

**Lara Emily** · 07-13-2007, 05:19 PM

Good lord, the action sequences were pretty darn good, suprisingly given that I usually can't stand Bay's style (He still went to shaky close up for me during the Tron vs Prime fight, especially Starscream's but my god there wasn't enough of them, out of a 2 and a half hour movie there was what 20-30 minutes of action tops. The Decepticons basically had no depth to them which blew, the Autobots only had marginally more. The humour was awful, god awful and out of place, Fox is attractive sure but she's such a terrible actress it was laughable plus what was with the orange tan yikes, at it's best it was fantastic at its worst it was one of the worst movies of the year, it's unfortunate that it was at its worst for 70% of the film. Honestly at times it felt like it was a GI JOE and Their Teen Allies film with cameos by the Transformers.

**The Naitch** · 07-20-2007, 01:46 AM

shut up you tranny

**yianni** · 07-21-2007, 02:33 AM

Saw this yesterday, I enjoyed it thought the transformers were fucking badass as all hell. Megan Fox (if that's her name) is fucking hot like others have said. The only thing I didn't like was the shitty little romance thing that went on throughout the movie, and the line "whatever happens, I'm glad I got into the car with you" was so fucking cheezy and shat me up the wall. Otherwise really enjoyed it, good stuff

**Gonzo** · 07-23-2007, 04:05 PM

Some of you guys are nitpicky bastards.

I enjoyed the movie, never watched the cartoon as a kid, so for standalone entertainment it did its job.

**bigdaddysuperfreak** · 07-23-2007, 07:02 PM

I saw the movie yesterday with my 5yo son and it brought back so many memories.

**Fignuts** · 07-23-2007, 08:10 PM

I'm sick of hearing that the final battle was too long. Yeah, I want fewer minutes of giant robots kicking ass in crowded streets. Retards.

**Fignuts** · 07-23-2007, 08:11 PM

Also, the logical villain for the sequel is Unicron, since they've already done Scorponk as a minion.

Dude, their going to come out with a Thunder Cats, i know it

**Dave Youell** · 07-28-2007, 02:03 PM

I haven't read any of this thread, i just want to say that was one of the best action films i've seen in years, I normally hate Micheal Bay flicks, but this was top notch.

Very happy with how all the robots came over, I only wish there was more starscream, they only touched on the issues between megatron and him, I loved Starscream in the cartoon.

Looks like he could be the new leader though as he escaped into space at the end of the film.

Now I want Grimlock!

**94 SVT Cobra** · 07-28-2007, 03:29 PM

All i know is that THIS motherfucker (Unicron) better be in ONE of the sequels if they make one....

**Kalyx triaD** · 07-28-2007, 06:07 PM

Unicron would be crazy in live action. Animating him would max out the entire budget. I'd make him smaller, like the Moon or something (which is still huge).

**94 SVT Cobra** · 07-28-2007, 09:41 PM

wtf, how big is he supposed to be? looks like the size of the moon there.

**94 SVT Cobra** · 07-28-2007, 09:41 PM

wtf, how big is he supposed to be? looks like the size of the moon there.

**Jeritron** · 07-28-2007, 10:45 PM

how would the size of an animated character have any bearing on the budget?
It's about the number of shots, the quality of animation, and what said animation has to do within the movie.
It's not like it's more costly to animate a huge spaceship than it is to animate Yoda.

With that being said, what does Unicron have to do?, float through space as an inanimate orb with a dubbed in voice? Prob pretty fuckin simple. He'll probably transform like once. And I doubt his inclusion would call for a lot of shots. How many times during the movie are you gonna show him floating through space?

**Downunder** · 07-28-2007, 11:23 PM

I found the humour to be very forced, it was almost like "we need to put a joke in here" and most of the jokes weren't funny.

But over all for a big dumb action movie it delivered.
