Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) everyone should read the Guardian review of Transformers. even if you don't agree (total slating) it's a hilarious read. I found it at once loud and boring *Stops reading review* I just don't get some people. If you're the kind of person that needs a message, then don't watch the film, and don't be upset when you don't like it. Transformers is a film about Transformers. Transformers are TOYS. Okay, I have actually continued reading the review. Its funny in the sense that he doesn't even know what he's talking about. Perhaps the storyline was too complicated for him.

Posted June 20, 2009 This one actually has a storyline??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2009 I watched the "Outlander". I really liked the beast. Great special effects, I should say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2009 Yeah I agree with that. Theres essentially no "normal" new Autobots. But Blackbird was awesome. (Not his personality particularly, but him) Also, there was a RIDICULOUS amount of swearing (awesome!) Sideswipe? RC? Didn't get much screen time but they where still there.

Posted June 20, 2009 Yeah I mean that had any personality shown. I was hoping, considering she's a bike gal that Michaela was gonna ride off on the pink Arcee, and Sam on the blue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2009 Transformers 2 10/10 I loved every second of it, I was like a little kid again with a huge grin on my face everytime Optimus showed up. When he showed up to save Sam the mid air flip he does is pretty much exactly the same one he does in the animated movie when he lands on earth and wipes out the Decepticons. When he got a beating and then said the line about fighting for one life or something and then whipped out another sword I went hyper It all came crashing down when he got killed though, it brought back painful childhood memories of watching the animated movie. As the film went on and the Matrix of Leadership was mentioned I knew there was hope and Prime would be back, sure enough he was but I wasn't expecting the merging of Prime and Jetfire. Freaking awesome! I was also glad to see Bumblebee get some decent action this time, the way he took out Scavanger and then Ravage was outstanding. I will most likely go down to the flicks again soon and see it again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2009 Transformers 2 10/10 haha oh come on.. I haven;t seen it yet and I enjoyed the first but jeez 10/10 is rarely given.. I;d accept aliens,terminator 2 and maybe die hard for action films lol.. it's your opinion of course but 10!!!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2009 Yeah "Black Optimus Prime" (I called him in my head) was sooooo sick. My jaw dropped and I geek gasm'd at that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2009 Yeah "Black Optimus Prime" (I called him in my head) was sooooo sick. My jaw dropped and I geek gasm'd at that. I'm going to nickname him "Blacktimus" because it sounds like a jive talking motherfucker from a B Movie. Dynomite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2009 Shouldn't have watched Transformers 2. Didn't like the first I thought it was bollocks. The second though, jeez. 2 hours of Megan Fox not acting, 10 minutes transformers. Shit humour, even shitter script. Also man what the hell was it about? Some random robot kid wanting revenge for no reason. The Fallen? LOL Best battle ever, so good it was over in 2 minutes. What was with the really shit army defence. "Megatron is guarded by 50 million sonar nets!". So that'd be one sub that gets blown up then, brilliant. The best security in the world guarding some metal thing, can't stop a metal tiger though. I think it deserves a 1/10 for the lolfactor of people dying. I'll stick to Bad Boys 2 if I want a Micheal Bay film. Ah well, only my opinion. I'd rather watch something, well.....errm good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2009 I'll stick to Bad Boys 2 if I want a Micheal Bay film. Now, now. The Transformers films (the first one, anyway) aren't THAT bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2009 Now, now. The Transformers films (the first one, anyway) aren't THAT bad. agreed.. shaky camera in bad boys 2 gave me a headache.. and I never get bothered by stuff like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2009 agreed.. shaky camera in bad boys 2 gave me a headache.. and I never get bothered by stuff like that. I don't think I managed to get to a scene with shaky camera. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2009 To be honest, action films are really not as well filmed as they used to be. The "shaky cam" idea is something that has got on my nerves for a long time. If I go to a cinema, the two films which I am reluctant to see these days are action films and comedies, as I feel there hasn't been an above-par version of these two for some time. One word: Epic. Every film is trying to be "epic" these days. "Epicly" funny, "epicly" action-orientated. In 5 years time, will people still be craving to see Sex Drive, or Die Hard 4.0? Imo, no. Look at something like the first Die Hard film. Now THAT was an action film. Perfectly paced, great action-wise, and the story was pretty good, too. More importantly, the action set pieces were filmed well. They were creative. There's a reason people still watch it to this day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2009 10 minutes transformers. Honestly not sure we saw the same movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2009 Saw Transformers 2 today, enjoyed it. Like I said to Maase, its actions, its explosions why do you need an epic and "thought provoking" story when its just action and retro because its transformers! Who was the satellite? Was that megatron? No-one knows about that still do they? It wasn't explained at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2009 No it wasn't him, it was just a random Decepticon. And....yeah no one knows about it. And Megatron and Starscream got away anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 20, 2009 One word: Epic. Every film is trying to be "epic" these days. "Epicly" funny, "epicly" action-orientated. Yeah. Take any trailer and I can almost garantee that it will feature a line about how someone/everyones world/life will never be the same again/end. It is getting tiresome.
