Transformers Movie thread

Recommended Posts

I'm watching this video and i'm just feeling uncomfortable with how little Bay seems to even know about the franchise

 

I read an interview on comingsoon.net last week where Bay said he never watched Transformers as a kid so he really didnt have a clue about it when he started the film.

 

There are some reviews of the film on IMDB.COM, its looking very positive indeed.

Two episodes of the original transformers cartoon will be on tonight. One of which is dark awakening which I think is when Prime comes back but he's evil.

Sky channel 619 7pm-8pm

Yeah its awesome that story arc, its even better when he comes back AGAIN in some episodes after that. The Touch hits as he unleashes The Matrix to save the world from some virus....AWESOME!

Wow looks like there is going to be a box office battle between Die Hard and Transformers then.

 

Transformers will win hands down.

Agreed

 

Did you guys know that Prime died AGAIN in the Japanese Headmasters series!?? I just watched it on youtube where him and HotRod tan Galavatron and then unleash The Matrix to make HotRod back into Rodimus, crazy!

 

Also Magnus haters will love this, its hilarious!

FIRST REVIEWS

 

Variety

 

http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117933974.html?categoryid=31&cs=1

If it's true that there's an 8-year-old boy inside every man, Transformers is just the ticket to bring the kid out."

 

Urbancinefile.com

"It's long and loud and everything about it is big: from the massive stunts, the pounding orchestral score and the transformers themselves, which tower above everything and everyone in this mega-budget sci-fi adventure."

 

Both are shown as postive on Rotten Tomatoes. Basically its a good film for what it is, a good action packed summer flick.

"Purists will balk, but everyone else will enjoy the ride for what it is - arguably the best action film of recent years."

Magnus' death in the original movie. When the sweeps shoot him, do you notice how they make a solid beam of light rather than a short blast?

 

In the original edit of the film those are lazer whips. The wrap them around Magnus' limbs and tear him apart!

They all talk, Optimus has his Original G1 voice Actor, THE optiums, starscream sounds a little like his old school voice but jsut noticibly diffrent, but all of them have their own voice some better then others, Bumblebees is awsome at the start.

 

One thing I didn't like about the decptacons was Megatrons vehicle mode, pretty meh, nice design but not Megatron, loved the line he said to Starscream though(Won't say what it is)

 

Little funny, theres also a 360 mini Bot, even does the little start up sound when you turn it on, and talknig about sounds best bit, Orignal Transforming sound is here for nostalgia

What he said!

 

Arnold, have you seen the original animated film? Just wondering if there are any refrences/lines from the animated movie in the new one? A simple yes or no would be nice ( dont tell me what they are ), that is if you know.

 

Cheers.

I have indeed seen the Original Move and yes there is a line from it, not sure if theres more or not, can't remember them all (as well as the old line always used in the cartoon)
