Transformers fans......?!


Question: This is a little dated but what did you think of the transformers movie?
I thought movie had awsume special effects/graphics but the story was a bit confusing at end. (why did they have to stay on earth if they defeted decp. and what was the whole matrix thing at end?) I'm also upset they changed bumble bee from VW bug to a corvet and although robot designs were cool they weren't even close to origional designs and didn't seem like the robot form could change into vechile form (like no visible car doors, etc on robot form)
Anyone else have same views?

Turn off your brain and forget it....you're leaving out a shitload of stuff that is wrong with this movie..or lack there of. I DID grow up on Transformers...and GI Joe and Gobots and Thundercats and He-Man...hell even Jem and Denver the Last Dinosaur. And as reports came in I was a big proponent of the Transformers when people were lambasting it early. Then I saw what they did to Prime(Gay flames, no faceplate) and Megatron(A ship?) and I was officially going to tell all my friends to boycott this movie.

Then I realized as of late I hold no influence with my friends when it comes to directing them to see stuff I consider great and not to see things I know to be awful. They take my opinions with a grain of salt and most of the time watch/dont watch **** I tell them to spite me. But I put my foot down and said I personally was going to boycott Transformers. By myself. My friends would bring it up, knowing that I hated it to tease me or get a rise out of me as they like to do. But I was firm. I would not see it. And then on Tuesday before it came out I realized that I was becoming what I swore to myself I would never be when it came to film. Unobjective.

So I saw Transformers. I did all the movie type lingo as said above (SHUT OFF YOUR BRAIN, FORGET IT, LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS) and more importantly I decided to look at it as a stand alone movie. Seeing as Spielberg and Bay were not bringing the original back story in and all the stuff we loved about the show and 1st movie...I decided to not either. That was a mistake.

As a fan boy you can ignore bad things in a fan boy movie as long as it appeases to your nostalgia of the original. Here with Transformers they decided to throw out 90percent of the nostalgic and redesign their own flick. Fine. But when the fan boy smoke screen is ignored or taken away the blarring horridness is greatly apparent.

The things wrong with this movie I will state will be stand alone and not related to differences from the original. Though there are thousands of unforgivable things that this film has different from the original apart from design(Starscream wanting to actually thaw out the robot he's always hated? hmm.)

1. JAZZ - Jazz actually says and I quote "Autobots Represent" and " This looks like a cool place to kick it" Other than this being racist this is soooo campy. To endear Jazz to the audience we'll have him be the break dancing street robot. He says four campy lines and then dies. And we're supposed to care? If bumblebee died then we would care. But the scene at the end where Optimus is casually holding jazz in both hands like a broken dish comes off like a brush off. "Jazz is dead he was a great friend...but NOW WE GOT NEW ONES YEAH!" I dont' blame prime to brush off Jazz cuz...who gives a ****...he wasn't indeared to me as nothing more than a stereotype(AND DON'T COUNTER WITH JAZZ WAS A STEREOTYPE IN THE ORIGINAL AS I'VE SAID WE'RE LEAVING OUT THE ORIGINAL. WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ON HOW TRUTHFUL TO THE ORIGINAL THIS IS AS I'VE SAID) Handled bad. Turn off your brain and forget it.

2. John Torturro - I would have never thought that Da Jesus would be getting R. Kellyed on in a Michael Bay film. His performance was straight out of all the bad scenes in Men in Black. He is supposed to be the Adam Baldwin Independence Day(Get to that later) character in this film but comes off more like the butler in Mr. Deeds. S7 t-shirt? Come on. Turn off your brain and forget it.

3. Asphalt doesn't hurt - How much does Shia Labouf weigh? 170? 180 tops? But Barricade(Police car) slams him again and again into the ground and he not only stays concious, he's running away. How much does Megan Fox weigh? 100? 110 tops? And yet Shia gives her a clothesline ala JBL off a moving bike onto...you guessed it, hard pavement. However, she snarks at him as though he scuffed her keds. She should have been bleeding all over the place or...DEAD. How much does prime weigh? 100? 200 tons tops? Yet he pins Shia Labouf against his chest(metal by the way) and crashes down on pavement and....Shia Labouf is fine. The guy from Vegas. What's his skin made out of? Flesh right? Yet he gets a Ducati to about 80 mph, JUMPS OFF, SLIDES on his BACK around 20 feet, kills Blackout, and hops right back up. You couldn't do that on a slip and slide without ripping your skin off. Asphalt in this movie doesn't hurt. Turn off your brain and forget it.

4. Disappearing Character - No i'm not talking about Tyrese or Anthony Anderson(Thank god they left) I'm talking about...hmm...I don't know....MountainDewatron or Xboximus Prime or Cadillacron. AND MORE NOTABLY Scorpinok(He didn't die. His tail was cut off) They just...vanished. Were they killed? Did the autobots kill them? Are they still reaking havoc? Sssh Michael Bay is keeping it a secret. Turn off your brain and forget it.

5. Autobots hiding around Shia Labouf's house - The title it self makes no sense. Its as if the Autobots were like the velvetine rabbit, or snuffleupagus or Hobbs. Grown ups can't see FOUR 12 story robots that leave earthquakes when they tip toe because they lack a child like innocense. Turn off your brain and forget it.

6. Optimus vs Megatron - Lets not entirely show the most climactic fight between the two main characters in the movie. Lets have the battle shot over the shoulder of Shia Labouf out of focus. The equivalent of showing the final battle between Hector and Achilles in Troy over the shoulder of Brian Cox. Damn at least when they are talking to each other, SHOW THEIR FACES. No. We get Shia Labouf crawling in a ditch. You could have zoomed out and had Shia Labouf standing in between the two of them with all the carnage going on in the back ground. That would have looked epic. Sorry. I'm giving Michael Bay direction. "My bad" as Optimus once said(I'll get to bad lines later) Turn off your brain and forget it.

7. Final Battle - Why would a group of robots who want to protect humans so bad bring the all spark to the most populated part of the city to fight for it? Hmm? Could have just fought around the dam. Turn off your brain and forget it.

7a Sam's end run - Though I though it looked cool but let me understand the logic. "Sam I'm a 200 ton robot from outerspace. You're a 180 pound nerd from the valley. I think......you should hold on to the heart of my planet and run it up a building for....for....I um forgot why you were climbing the building in the first place Sam. Just run. Don't give it to any of the HIGHLY trained army rangers either. I want you to hold on to it Sam. Protect it with you meger life." Though as I've stated earlier. Shia Labouf's character is uneffected by asphalt so thats a plus for him.

8. Cop scene with Labouf - You're Law & Order SVU questioning me for reporting my car stolen? God I hope when some ex pornstar looking cop questions me with unsubstantiated bullshit and threatens to actually WHIP MY *** IF I PULL HIS GUN OUT my father won't just sit there and watch me take it like Shia Labouf's dad did. For this entire scene PLEASE turn off your brain and forget it.

9. Shia Labouf bumblebee reveal - Follow me here. Shia Labouf thinks his car was stolen. He follows it. He sees it doing some weird Autobot batsignal. He realizes its now a robot. He runs from dogs and then bumblebee donuts around him and Shia throws bumblebee the keys and says and I quote "You can take it. I don't want the car anymore. You can have it" Ummmm who is he talking to? The invisible thief in the car that he now knows doesn't exist? Turn off your brain and forget it.

10. Robot fights - Take a whole bunch of car parts and painted scrap metal, roll it into a ball, zoom in on it and then toss the ball down the hill. Visually I have described 80 percent of the robot fights in this movie. Though I have to say Prime vs Bonecrusher was great. As well as Bumblebee Barricade. You don't want to use shakey Paul Greengrass shooting and editing on creatures that are as complex and nearly unrecognizable as these robots. When Iron hide does his matrix flip shooting its hard to know which end of him is which. Megatron just looks like scrap metal. The only recognizable ones are Prime and Bumblebee. You can kinda tell where their parts are but you really have to squint. I understand making the robots realistic. Hell the ILM for this is as stated amazing but could you please make them look a little streamlined so I can tell up from down...oops sorry Turn off your brain and forget it.

11. Decepticons - Short of Blackout and that annoying *** Frenzy....what are the decepticons doing this whole time? Sleeping. making bombing runs with the 35th airborne. They just show up from no where. Are they just kicking it like Jazz proclaimed? Turn off your brain and forget it.

12. Ebay pic of Shia labouf - Huh? Why? I don't get it? Turn off your brain and forget it.

13. Sector 7 Independence Day - There are long...and I mean LONG moments of this movie where its possible the screenwriters mixed up their script with Dean Devlin and Roland Emmergay's Independence Day movie script. The morus code thing for one but mostly the sector 7 reveal. Its a mirror image of the Area 51 reveal in Independence Day. Dialog and everything. Come on its kinda fun to mix an match. Replace Megatron with the alien in the glass case. Replace Jon Voight with Bill Pullman. Replace John Toturro with Adam Baldwin. Replace Shia Labouf with Jeff Goldblum. Replace the guy from Vegas with Will Smith and ITS THE EXACT SAME ******* SCENE. LINE FOR LINE "You mean this whole time you had an alien species hidden here and you didn't tell us!" I know this movie was rushed but I'm waiting for the law suit. Turn off your brain

I thought the movie was pretty good. Some of the things I didn't like were the decepticons were mostly ones I never heard of. Also, Prime and Bumblebee were the only ones they really got into. I hope the second one is better.

the movie was off the hook and i like bumblbee the best he is awesome

The allspark wasnt destroyed to my knowlege Just megatron. I liked the movie a lot. Great graphics.
