O/T More than meets the eye

Transformers was absolutely awesome!! My only complaint is that they made Jazz a Pontiac Solstice. He was a Porsche 911 Turbo originally. GMC paid a lot of money for the movie so I will let it slide I guess

from this critic

i've heard people say some pretty crazy things about that show..."best action flick ever"..."better than what you may remember from the cartoons"..."actually worth what they're charging for admission".

i can't wait to see it.

paljets · #3 07/08/2007, 03:45 PM

Yea Ive heard Great Reviews from my personal critic to quote "AWESOME"

slowradio · #5 07/08/2007, 04:33 PM

come to think of it, i haven't heard a single bad thing about this movie (except for the whole pontiac-for-porsche thing, lol).

buffalobunch · #6 07/08/2007, 05:48 PM

I loved it!! We took the kids to see it yesterday. I would actually go and see it again.

rljlll · #7 07/08/2007, 06:20 PM

i saw it twice opening night and the second night too. Its the best movie of the year so far i've seen.

Philwd · #8 07/08/2007, 07:32 PM

We loved it. Of course my 8 yr old son was beside himself but the wife couldn't stop talking about it either. $152M the first week.!!

EvilE · #9 07/08/2007, 07:36 PM

I am gonna see it very soon--grew up with Transformers--wish I had held on to them all! I have not heard a single bad thing about the movie either--only great things!!!

pssh, if you held on to them all you could buy any reef setup you wanted, well forget that why not buy your own island complete with coral reef!

no kidding!!! I think I had almost all of them too!!! I gave all of my Gi Joes, StarsWars, and Transformers away when I moved out of my folks house (a million years ago)

Fliger · #12 07/08/2007, 08:22 PM

I loved it also! My wife is out of town so I took my 5 year old. She will kill me when she gets home.

I used to LOVE the animation. Nerd, I know. It was a great cartoon though - one of my all-time favorites.

"Autobots stage their battle to destroy the evil forces of ... the Decepticons! Transformers ... more than meets the eye ... Transformers ... robots in disguise!"

The Dubya/Twinkie thing was pretty funny.

buffalobunch · #13 07/08/2007, 09:34 PM

Ding dongs Fliger!!

Fliger · #14 07/09/2007, 12:36 PM

LOL, you're right. Dubya like Ding Dongs.

I have an AMC annual pass for two, I have a feeling we're going to be seeing it a few more times this year. I'm Optimus Prime and Miguel is Bumblebee.

corivus · #15 07/09/2007, 02:09 PM

I was actually surprised how good it was, I was expecting to go and just start at giant robots transforming from cars and giant explosions, instead I saw something a lot better. It was great and I'll be getting the dvd when it comes out

sir_dudeguy · #16 07/10/2007, 01:25 PM

i went to see it at the AMC grand on stapley and the power was out there, so we ran over to the new Cinemark over by the bass pro shop. I have to say that i thought i was walking into a nerd fest when i was in line

I mean ya i liked the show and everything, but wow. Great movie though! I still say that Shia Lebouf (cant spell his name, ya ya) dude is a lucky punk...2 hot chicks in his last 2 movies...

ok, ill throw in my two cents again...

I thought it was one of the worst movies so far. Much too long. No one should have to wait 2.5 hours for a 20 min fight scene at the end. The human "sub-plots" were very annoying along with the childish 8th grade humor. I felt like i was watching transformers meets [enter teenage spoof movie here]. They actually tried to pass that boy and his stripper looking girlfriend for juniors in high school. My girlfriend left half way through it. That and I cannot stand advertising movies anymore. The whole movie was just one big Cisco, HP, GM etc commercial. I guess the teasers were just that, a tease...

edited to add a relevant critic's statement..

As played by Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, Sam and Mikaela look as much like 11th-graders as I do, but the film has bigger problems, like keeping everyone interested while the toys are off the screen. Any film whose most resonant line of dialogue is uttered by the robot who says "It's you and me, Megatron" has no business being two hours, 23 minutes long. No matter how good the toys are.

crrichey · #18 07/10/2007, 05:32 PM

loosbrew aside it was the best movie of the summer (with Die Hard comming in a very close second). So we have 13 yays and 1 nay. In any language that is a win

badfish · #19 07/10/2007, 06:33 PM

I liked it. I was entertained and excited through out the whole movie. And I am not a fan of those types of movies. It was the first time since Pirates of the Caribbean 2 that I have been to a theater. Now that movie was way to long and sucked.

trae · #20 07/10/2007, 06:49 PM

Great movie, it reminded me of watching the original Godzilla. No one wants to see the actors. It was more than i expected. Part Deux with the special ops and more bots?

And it figures that he is from another state piping up to a thread I put up for my local friends here. If I wanted an outsider opinion I would have posted in reef discussion.

now that was rude...

sometimes folks just click the provided "Get New" button and I didn't even think to see which subforum this was in. I guess difference of opinion isn't accepted amongst your group of friends? Last I recall, these are public forums...

sir_dudeguy · #24 07/11/2007, 08:11 AM

ever think that it MIGHT have been a joke??

loosbrew · #25 07/11/2007, 08:14 AM

yeah, it's early yet and maybe it didn't come across that way...

where's my coffee!? :P
