[Doc]

Actually kind of looking forward to this. All things considered.

[Morbid]

I'll be there. Personally, I hope it is a mindless CGI-fest.

[AnalBreeze]

I hated the Transformers when I was younger...
maybe I was to old for them at the time!
But this movie looks like this decades "Independence Day"
Lots of cool FX and Just plain stupid fun!
If this movie is just a little bit good...
It will out do "Pirates" at the box office!

[CPL CHUD]

I think it should be fun. Michael Bay's mindless summer blast film making style fits well for this sort of thing. I loved the Transformers as a kid.

[Killroy]

I wasn't a huge fan of the Transformers as I think I may have been right at that age where I was getting too old for it. But I was intrigued by the toys. Go figure. I remember owning ONE Transformer and I think it was a blue Corvette.

But I agree, it will be mindless fun and the kids will like it.

[CPL CHUD]

I remember my uncle bought me one of the first premier ones when he lived in NYC and went to some toy expo. I was pretty hooked after that. I watched the cartoon with fevored anticipation. I never understood exactly what was going on, but I dug the idea of transforming toys mainly for the playability factor. I could pretend they were vehicles for my other toys, mainly my Star Wars figures, which I was also big in to at the time.

[QuestionYourSanity]

Can't wait, can't wait... This is either gonna be so bloody awesome or gonna be super bad. But i love Michael Bay and this is perfect for him as a mindless carnagefest. Hope it out does the disappointing Spiderman 3 and Pirates but i highly doubt it as i think that those had a bigger audience base and way more advertising. i still find people who hadn't heard about Transformers yet even my mum who's pretty much clueless to movies knew about the other two.

[gprime]

I'm looking forward to this. Michael Bay isn't talented per say, but he's the right man for the job. Transformers should be a special effects intensive popcorn film, and that is exactly what he'll be giving us.

Yeah, that's exactly what I am hoping for. And I agree with your Michael Bay statement. He is perfect for this and just the man you want when you want mindless, CGI action and no deep morality message or personal introspection from any of the main characters. The last thing I want to see is Megatron analyzing himself.

[AnalBreeze]

Transformer cartoon fans are going to jiz all over themselves when they
hear Optimus Prime speak! It's the same voice from the cartoon!

[Horrorholic]

Saw this last night...

Better than expected.

Good
-CGI is incredible... truly and sincerely.
-Michael Bay makes explosions seem like an art form... he definitely knows how to stage an action sequence.
-Plot was satisfying...All Spark storyline
-Voice overs were well done... Hugo made Megatron his own. Jazz's voice was the only one I was 'meh' about.

Bad
-If they would have cut about 15-20 minutes out (I may be exaggerating a little but you get the gist), it would have been a much tighter film. It's like they left some of the B-Sides in. A couple were groan worthy.

All in all, a fun popcorn flick. Definitely my favorite Blockbuster this summer, along with LFODH. Bay was definitely the right choice for this.

7/10

[AnalBreeze]

My son and I are off to see this, I can't wait and him...
I had to bribe him with putt-putt golf to go with me!
Either I'm way off and this movie is going to suck...
Or my son is way off and he will have his 1st ever orgasm!
I'll let you know! :D

[Horrorholic]

Here's my official review...
Right here! (http://www.freezedriedmovies.com/blog/index.php?/archives/196-Review-Transformers-Perfect-Summer-Film.html#extended)

[AnalBreeze]

My son and I just got back and No he didn't orgasm but he did love it, as did I.
I can tell you now that this movie raises the bar on all before it. The story, special effects, acting and pacing were all top notch! oh my god, the action was non stop! My son and I went to the movie not knowing much about the history of transformers... now we have been transformed! this movie is the best of the blockbusters so far this year and by a long shot, go see it you won't be disappointed. One of the things I liked was the humor, it worked well in the film, there was alot of laugh out loud moments. Just wait till the climax of the film, it is awesome. Again we saw it with a college crowd so it was fun to hear everyone cheer and clap thoughout! George Bush is hinted at being President and it is funny as hell!
This movie is a 10/10 :D

[CPL CHUD]

I'm definitely checking it out tommorrow. I might even buy the toy of the MH-53 helicopter that ends up being a transformer. I worked on those things for years and never suspected a thing!

[gprime]

I wish I'd gotten a chance to see it last night, but the showtimes were pretty limited, and I couldn't get my mom's car, as she was using it. But I'm going to see it later today, so I'll report back sometime this evening with my thoughts.

[Athena]

I've got too much going on to see it before Thursday, but I'm all over it that day!

I was a HUGE Transformers fan as a kid, still watch it today even. I'm looking so very forward to this movie, it's ridiculous.


Oh...then there's Megan Fox. :love:

[Killroy]

Just got back from watching it and I am still in an after-glow, so the following comments may be toned down a bit after some time...but:

Pros:
Fucking awesome

Cons:
Nothing?

How anyone can give this a negative review is beyond me, really. It truly is everything I could have expected from a live-action Transformers movie. The effects, the Transformers, the acting, the story...seriously...just great. I actually laughed out loud in a few parts, and got goosebumps on a couple others.

My brain was almost full-tilt with sensory overload during the finale battles with all the sights and sounds. I went in with almost no expectations than to watch a Summer action movie and that's exactly what I got...X 50.

10 times better than Die-Hard 4, 9/10.

[Athena]

Sweet.

[gprime]

I did like it. The CGI wasn't revolting as it so often is, and Bay did what was expected. Even LaBeouf was good in it. However, there is one thing I took issue with: scale factor. What do I mean? Look at the size of the glasses in Optimus Prime's hand in contrast to that of LaBeouf. Or for that matter, look at the size of LaBeouf and the criminal chick in his hand compared to the glasses. Clearly, the scaling of objects wasn't at all consistant. 8/10

[AnalBreeze]

I laughed out loud when Megatron was lying hurt on the ground and saw a human
standing to close to him, he says disgusting then flicks him away!

I will probably see this 3 or 4 times before the week is over!

There will be, people are stupid and can't be pleased all the time...:( i thought some bits were a bit silly and unneccessary, but other people loved it, so it had a broad appeal to many more...My eyes were actually sore, I don't think i blinked once during the last hour, absolutely mezmerised for the entire movie...:D

That part was freaking funny as, :) but i think he says 'Filthy' no to be too nit picky...


But goddamn, shit, fuck and more explentives... Just awesome and awesome, been twice in a week already, will most likely go see it a 3rd time soon... Michael Bay was always gonna be the perfect director for something like this, the second he was announced as director I was on board 110%... can't wait for the sequel...

'Transformers' Grabs $27.4M in Tix

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Hollywood's box office record books have been transformed.

The sci-fi adventure "Transformers" had an unprecedented Tuesday haul of $27.4 million in its official debut, beating a record of $15.7 million set last year by "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest."

"It's the biggest Tuesday ever," said Mike Vollman, spokesman for Paramount, which released "Transformers" along with fellow Viacom Inc. (VIAB) unit DreamWorks. "It's playing very broadly. It's the kind of summer movie that's drawing families and we're very excited for its progress going into the rest of the weekend."

Directed by Michael Bay and based on the Hasbro toys that debuted in the 1980s, "Transformers" chronicles a war between two factions of giant shape-shifting robots that bring their battle to Earth. The human cast costarring alongside the computer-generated robots includes Shia LaBeouf, Tyrese Gibson, Jon Voight, Josh Duhamel and John Turturro.

"Transformers" opened Tuesday in 4,011 theaters nationwide. It also played in preview screenings at 3,050 theaters starting at 8 p.m. Monday, bringing in $8.8 million.

"They had great preview numbers and it's an incredible total for a Tuesday, which is just not known as a big box office day," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers. "The timing on this movie was perfect, with the holiday in the middle of the week. This film has six days plus a preview to stretch its legs."

"Transformers" is positioned to join the ranks of this summer's blockbusters, "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End,""Spider-Man 3" and "Shrek the Third," all of which have surpassed or are about to cross the $300 million mark domestically.

A brisk Fourth of July week would help Hollywood recover from a monthlong downturn that followed a huge start to summer in May.

"This could be the movie that transforms the summer back into the blockbuster we were hoping it would be," said Dergarabedian.

[swivel]

a 6... please! :rolleyes: may I ask why? I'm sure you have lots of reasons!

Too long.
Disjointed. Too often it went from intense action, to a needless slow scene, and back to the action.
The Special 7 group was not needed.
The robots were to Ninja-ish and not massive enough for me.
Didn't like the robot designs, too much going on.
Stupid plot devices, like the grandfather's glasses that were the secret to finding a cube that the Secretary of State led everyone to anyway.
The tow-truck scene was god-awful. "I'll drive, you shoot"
Too much cliche. "The Earthlings must be saved, I've seen too much good in them".
It failed in the Independence Day formula by having Americans almost pointless in the fighting. It was like watching Star Wars Episode 2 and seeing a bunch of robots kill each other. Not engaging.
Too much action. Action movies are better with only a few action scenes and the rest being build-up.
Too many characters. We didn't need the three hackers having to go find the fourth hacker. Especially when all of the time with those characters resulted in very little contribution to the plot. They got a radio call off that had unclear consequences.

The plot holes were too much for me. They had a boy running with a cube to the top of a building that any of the transformers could have gotten to in a few leaps. And he was going to hand the cube off to a helicopter which would somehow? be safe from the Deceptocons, of which several were capable of flying at great speeds. Why were the Autobots so stupid by running around as slow vehicles?

The explanation for their various personalities was horrible. "The Internet", c'mon. The Transformers had their personalities long before they came to Earth. More time spent developing the personalities of the Transformers would have fixed most of what was wrong with the movie. It should have been told from their perspective, and not from one boy's perspective. All we had was a cheesy introduction scene and they were off running. It was horrible.

I'm changing my score to 5/10, I think I was in too patriotic a mood yesterday. This movie was only average because most movies today suck ass.

Lighten up, Frances.

[Horrorholic]

I actually agree that it ran a little too long. With maybe 15 minutes cut out, it would've been better. Though, I still did enjoy it a lot.

[Killroy]

swivel, you may not hate the movie as much as this guy did, but it is one funny review:

Pretty much everything you said was wrong! I'll give you the whole plot holes thing with him running the allspark to the top of the building to give to a helicopter... I thought that was weird because why not have one of the autobots do it and what the hell was so special about the helicopter?

I took the explanation for their various personalities as an attempt by OP to be funny!

It's a fuckin' live action TRANSFORMER movie... Nothin' more and nothin' less!
and it Kicked ass! I can't wait to go see it again!
Like Morbid said Lighten up, Swiv!

[brokenandtwisted]

So...basically Transformers = mindless fun? Worth seeing? I might venture to the movies at week's end.

[AnalBreeze]

http://hollywoodbitchslap.com/review.php?movie=15538&reviewer=413

I think it sounded just like swiv, And it is funny!

[QuestionYourSanity]

Too long someone said??? I coulda gone it being longer with more action... it'll be interesting to see what was cut since the original running time was around 2hrs 50mins... I wanna know if any of the action scenes where cut...

That jackass bitches review is pathetic, not a bias Michael Bay hater at all now...

[Killroy]

I just don't get some movie-goers nowadays. I am not trying to say that any ones opinion is wrong on this film...you didn't like it, you didn't like it...but it's a live-action movie from a crappy, cheesy, 30 minute long, '80s toy commercial about robots that transform into vehicles and fight each other.

I paid to see robots fight. That's it. If I wanted character development, an multi-layered stories and plot-points that had me thinking anything aside from "DAMN!"...well, I certainly wouldn't have tried to find any of those in a robot movie from Hasbro.

I paid for a summer film with explosions and robots...I got that in spades and left the theater a lot happier than I did with Spiderman 3 and Pirates (two movies I am guessing the above reviewer I quoted didn't hate near as much as he did Transformers and further shows his Micheal Bay bias). I even liked this film better than Live Free or Die Hard.

[AnalBreeze]

$107,403,000 4 day total, through friday!

[swivel]

swivel, you may not hate the movie as much as this guy did, but it is one funny review:

http://hollywoodbitchslap.com/review.php?movie=15538&reviewer=413

And he is correct, 100%.

When the rest of you grow up, and see this film as mature adults, you will slap your forehead and say to yourself, "Ouch".

And then later you will think, "Swivel was right.... Again."

[Sea Hag]

I paid to see robots fight.

I did too and I couldn't make out what the hell was going on. The action scenes are a total mess with a few snippets here and there being jaw dropping. (like starscream fighting the jets which lasted all of 1/2 a minute)

[brokenandtwisted]

:lol: I love that review posted...because the critic 'missed the point yet totally understood it'.

Here’s the thing. This is a Michael Bay movie about giant robots smashing stuff. So, yes, it may seem petty and overly film critic-ish to want it to be, you know, good. But that’s really what film critics do, isn’t it? We critique films. Even when they’re Michael Bay films about giant robots. So let the critiquing begin.

Yes. It's a film about robots smashing stuff...derived from a toy company. It isn't going to be coherently-constructed-Crash/Titanic/The Queen-Oscar-material. So immediately the reader, at least from what I perceive; knows that the critic is going to rant. Oddly enough, he does.

After seeing Transformers, my heterosexual life partner made an interesting observation, which I’ll paraphrase. Michael Bay is the directorial equivalent of a sociopath. See, a sociopath knows that people express certain emotions and say certain things in specific situations, so he becomes very good at faking it so that nobody realizes that he’s a sociopath. He doesn’t actually feel or understand those emotions that he’s mimicking, but sociopaths are good enough actors that they get away with it.

Similarly, Bay knows that certain things are supposed to happen at certain times in movies, so he puts those things there because he knows people expect them. “This is where the wisecracking sidekick shows up – give him something funny to say,” Bay will demand. “I’ll have Jon Voight exiting the helicopter in slow motion, because people really like that slow-motion thing,” he’ll say.

It’s been ten minutes since an explosion? Better blow something up! Nothing funny’s happened for awhile? Toss Bernie Mac in as a used-car salesman! Not enough sex in the robot movie? Dress the teenage love-interest like a hooker and have the camera linger on her overly tan torso!

Viewers paid for what they wanted? Agreed.

Michael Bay is so adept at faking being a filmmaker, in fact, that people actually think he knows what he’s doing even though his movies are soulless, charmless, big-budget monstrosities made by a man with all the creative aesthetic of a nine-year-old blowing up plastic Army guys in his back yard.

Again, the man has taken his jab at dramatic-Oscar attempts such as Pearl Harbour and he's proved miserable. So why not make senseless action films? He knows what the public wants. Knowing what the public wants clearly means that he knows what he's doing, doesn't it? The critic contradicted himself in one sentence.

There are people who believe that it’s okay for summer movies to be stupid, as long as they’re big and loud and throw a lot of special effects on the screen.

Who sets the groundwork? Why isn't it alright to have 'big and loud' summer blockbusters?

These people are either desperate to get into a theater to partake of air conditioning, or they’re idiots. Either way, Michael Bay has created a movie just for them, and it’s going to make 700 gazillion dollars.

People who are looking for senseless action films are not 'idiots'. Just because they don't want/wish to see at the moment a Little Children stylized film, they do not deserve to have their intelligence insulted. Transformers is a film where your brain is meant to be shut off, and just take in the action. Clearly the critic is "the idiot" for not recognizing this -- or rather actually recognizing it, but ranting on in a review where he assumes such.

[swivel]

I did too and I couldn't make out what the hell was going on. The action scenes are a total mess with a few snippets here and there being jaw dropping. (like starscream fighting the jets which lasted all of 1/2 a minute)

Brilliant. I wholeheartedly agree. Even the action, which people use as an excuse for the rest of the film sucking balls, wasn't very good. This movie just didn't have any redeeming qualities that could overcome its many faults.

[I am Legend]

i only have one question:

how in the fuck-all does one not consider gigantic robots from space that can change shape and have some form of advanced intelligence waging war on planet earth a plot hole?

the point? once we suspend our disbelief to a certain level, shouldnt there be a degree of wiggle room when it concerns things some are calling plot holes?

just a thought, eh.

Plot holes have to do with internal consistency, not with alignment with reality. The rules of paradox apply to all, even God and film.

Transformers opens to a tally of $152.5 million (Est)

For Independence Day weekend, Hollywood's latest apocalyptic picture transfixed droves of moviegoers in one of the fastest-grossing starts on record for a non-sequel.

Rolling out on approximately 7,600 screens at 4,011 theaters, Transformers waged an estimated $143.7 million in its first six days, not including $8.8 million from Monday night previews which brings the tally to $152.5 million. That was enough to place DreamWorks and Paramount Pictures' $150 million robo-spectacle among the top ten highest-grossing six-day starts of all time, second only to the first Spider-Man among non-sequels. Additionally, Transformers handily scored two minor records: biggest Tuesday daily gross with its $27.9 million opening day and top July 4th gross with Wednesday's $29.1 mi

For the weekend, Transformers racked up an estimated $67.6 million weekend, ranking as the second-highest grossing Independence Day opening weekend behind Spider-Man 2's $88.2 million and 30th best among all movies. The holiday is less about the weekend than it is the full week for major new movies, which often open mid-week and mute their weekend potential.



Must be alot of stupid people :rolleyes:

[CPL CHUD]

I enjoy a brainless action flick as much as the next red blooded potato eater, but the confusing hyperactive ADD riddled action sequences, useless storyline tandems, and irrational plot turns really bogged this thing down for me. I wanted to love it but couldn't ignore it's faults and couldn't excuse it's stupidity because it's a movie based on toys and 80's animation. That doesn't give it a free lunch. 5/10

[Horrorholic]

Found this on Coming Soon tonight...
Director Michael Bay's Transformers has already reached $633.9 million worldwide in tickets sales (on a budget of $150 million), but we're thinking fans will want to head back to theaters when his "Giant F**king Robots" will live up to that title even more.

ComingSoon.net/SuperheroHype.com has learned that Paramount Pictures will rerelease the summer blockbuster in IMAX theaters on September 21 with more footage than you saw in the conventional theatrical version.

What? We don't know, but we can't wait to hear Optimus Prime's voice in IMAX's digital speaker system, or see the robots battling it out on the giant screen!

[AnalBreeze]

I think that would be fun! My son and I will be there! :rolleyes:

I saw this in IMAX on Wednesday night. The CGI is a lot crisper and its bigger and louder, naturally. The extra scenes were kind of shit though. Nothing really exceptional, just some B-sides they decided to put back in. Extra jokes here and there and in one scene, instead of having two jets, they have like 8. Not really a big deal. How it looks and the experience is what sets it apart.

[Djinn]

Great f'ing movie! This is a must have DVD.

Bring on Transformers 2!!
