Transformers - POST WHEN YOU SEE THE GIANT FREAKIN ROBOTS!!!!!!!!!!!

[crappertay]

Finally saw this. I liked it but I have mixed feelings about some of it. I liked it overall but there were a few things that pissed me off and stopped me from absolutely loving it. Hopefully things that can be resolved for Transformers 2.

First, the negatives.

- A lot of the "comedy" fell flat, especially the whole "hiding in the yard" scene, it was just too goofy and preposterous. John Turturro was great but the stupid Secotr Seven wife-beater was just a move too far, he reminded me a little of Jeffrey Combs in The Frighteners. And the black hacker dudes just made me think of the "pilots" from Snakes on a Plane.

- Frenzy and Barricade's spastic way of talking. OK so Frenzy was obviously supposed to be some annoying psychotic ritalin-ADHD gremlin-robot but was there any need for Barricade to be the same when he confronted Sam? Especially after being so menacing in his introduction. I also didn't like that Frenzy whether he was a cellphone or a stereo could transform in to EXACTLY the same cybertronian robot, but the larger ones had to make concessions to their alternate form.

- Shaky-cam. People who whined about Bourne Supremacy have nothing on this. I want to see what's going on Mr Bay, especially when your characters are so big they take up most of the screen before you start shaking everything up.

- Megatron was teh awesome. Depsite his shrikeness, Megatron got the shaft screen-time wise.

I can't wait for the sequel because they can bin all this human/Secotr 7 shite and concentrate on Decepticon scheming and backstabbing.






ONE MORE THING STOP TAKING 5 and 7 YEAR OLD KIDS TO 2 AND A HALF HOUR LONG PG-13 MOVIES!!!!

The content isn't suitable and they don't have the patience, so must yap through it. You want them to see it wait for freakin' DVD.





More soon including the things I did like!!!

Very fun movie.

nothing life changeing, but fun.

I DID like when Optimus Prime shivved the Dumptruck Decepticon (whatever his name was Blackout? Bonecrusher?)

I had no idea Optimus had a big freaking sword in his arm, why didn't he use it on Megatron?

I'm sure we will see many sequels.

I saw this again on the IMAX this past weekend. A second viewing was definitely better. Because I knew of the parts that annoyed me (the hiding in the yard, the black hackers, etc), I found I could tolerate them a lot more than the first viewing.

Plus, wanna talk about giant freakin' robots? Damn that's a big screen.

I realy liked the part where they changed into cars and stuff. Does anyone know all the lyrics to the song:

"Transformers... more than meets the eyes.
Transformers... robots into guys..."

or something like that.

I made a great post mocking this and some punk made me lose it by merging it in to the main thread.

Thanks for wasting my time.
