    Default Transformers

    Holy cow, I just got back from this movie and damn is all I can say. It was fantastic. I was so worried that this was going to be bad as I loved the cartoon so much as a kid but it did not disappoint at all. I really don't have a whole lot to say about it, it was just to good to describe. The transformers were kickass, they kept the original voice of Optimus Prime which rocked. It had humor action and even some very touching moments, I got choked up once. If you love the cartoon go see this movie, if you love action go see this movie, if you just love movies in general go see this movie, basically just go see this movie, it is well worth the price of admission.

    Wow, I'm excited to see this movie now.

    Totally agree Nate - it was fantastic. Effects were great, the movie was really funny, action kept me on the edge of my seat most of the time, and the gal was purdy.

    The fact that Bumblebee wasn't a beetle didn't bother me one bit.

    I have the Transformers Movie (cartoon) - came back from the movie and popped the dvd right in.

    And the real praise - wife liked it.
    Look at that... I plumb got myself 5 raisins and 7 termites.

    I thought it was pretty cool how when they introduced Bumblebee they had him sitting right next to a VW Beetle, nice little nod there. I enjoyed the dialogue they put in directly from the original movie as well, some of Optimus's lines for example. I definitely want to see it again. My wife went with me and before Optimus fights with Megatron at the end of the movie when he transforms she whispered to me, "It's so awesome my eyes just can't take it all in." WOW!

    I loved it too. Was a big fan growing up. Only problem I had is they didn't focus on the robots enough. Too much humans, not enough autobots. And when Jazz got killed you didn't really feel that sorry for him because you didn't get to know him. He only had 2 or 3 lines int he whole movie. And the whole part about the autobots hiding around the house while the boy is arguing with his parents was over the top, and lame. Coulda done with out that scene. It shoulda been left on the cutting room floor, they coulda used that time building the robots characters better, or more close ups of the chicks tummy! WOOT!

    All in all it was a fantastic movie and I do recommend it. Just hope the next one focus' more on the reasons why we went to the movie in the first place. The Transformers.

    Eh, it was ok, but I've seen so many Michael Bay movies in the same mold they're getting a little old. He uses the same formula over and over again, and I don't really think he gets much out of actors, and leans heavily on $100+ millions of dollars of special effects. Maybe I'm just getting tired of his movies.
