The movie has has its world premiere in Italy, its US premiere in the US, its Botcon bow at where ever Botcon is being held. Several countries around the world can now go to their local theatres and take a look. So for all those find folks that got to see it before the US, UK and other countries, tell us what you think. Did it suck, not suck, whatever. Just keep the spoilers to minimum, warn of spoilers and so forth.
Oh yeah forgot to mention, be sure to check out the Transformers Live Message Boards. Great place to discuss the pros and cons of the movie and pretty much anything else.

***ZERO SPOILERS HERE***
ReplyDeleteWell I'm from the USA and I just saw the movie last night. My roommate and I managed to win tickets for an advanced screening at the AMC Boston Common Cinema at 7 pm. I'll be posting a scanned image of the ticket on my blog for verification. Click the link on my name to get there.
The movie? Fantastic. That's all I can say. I, like many of you, was a fan since I was a kid. I've been hooked since then and this movie brought back memories of how it felt to watch the show when I was young. I wanted to jump through the screen. I wanted the movie to never end. I remember feeling that way when the first Transformers movie came to the screens. This movie is a triumph. Humor and action and a storyline that all of us love. What's not to like?
Don't bother with reviewers who aren't Transformers fans themselves. Just the film through the eyes of those us of us who grew up with the Autobots and I think you'll get a more accurate picture. The commercials you have seen do not do this film justice. Trust me.
more than meet the eyes
ReplyDeleteWatched it tonight here in Norway.
ReplyDeleteNO SPOILERS I GUESS....
Not being a huge fan (as i didnt see any transformer cartoons while growing up) i can say that the movie is worth seeing.
The effects are spectacular and the story is ok.
It has some typical american/hollywood stuff in it, but thats to be expected i guess :p
Overall nice movie, with extreme effects!
BotCon is in Rhode Island--the "hometown" of Hasbro. Peter Cullen is confirmed for Saturday.
ReplyDeleteInfo, and sorry for the broken link, they took it down not too long after it was put up...XD
ReplyDeleteS7 website has updated, floors 6 and 7 are unlocked and new vid under the exclamation. I remember readin about that somwhere in the vid, that the helicopter that Blackout takes the shape of they had found destroyed, so that's why they were so surprised when that helicopter showed up again at their base. Also on the floors, you can click on some of the numbers to bring up camera feeds.
HBO first look

I thought it was only OK. It started off really well, but the middle was disappointingly stupid and Hollywood-esque. They introduced a character who was irritating and didn't advance the plot. (I'm talking about the kid who ate all the donuts, here.)
ReplyDeleteIt was eye candy and it had transforming robots. But, it had the same kind of stupid plot devices and annoying characters (much like, for instance, Independence Day) which ruined the overall experience.
I am a TF fan. I do ~get~ transformers. But I am also not a complete moron and think script had very stupid elements that would be obvious to anyone with half a clue.
I would recommend you see it, though. It is fun for what it is.
No Spoilers here.....
ReplyDeleteG from Australia, Saw the movie on thursday, I have been a Big G1 fan from the 80's. I was really worried about the new designs and that the characters would be sabotaged - But Bay and his team have hit the nail on the head, This by far exceded all my expectations. If this is where they have set the bar for production on this first movie, I cannot wait for the sequels.
Seriously unbelievable.
Well, if you live in Florida, and close to Miami, The Dolphin Mall is showing the movie already, if you have an invitation, if not you can stay there till they let you get in because some people don't show up, but research about it, dont just go, it's not everyday, but the movie was awesome, spoiler here::::

Optimus has lips (Bay lied as always) but it looks good, i hated the idea, but it didn't damage the movie,
SPOILER OVER (as if you didn't know)
honestly I don't like Bay because of his personality, sucks, he thinks he is the $h.. but the movie is GREAT, I would go see it again and again, it was awesome, very REAL hope they introduce more characters on the sequel, i dont think you would miss more robots in this movie, it was just great, since i dont like Bay and the movie was awesome I'm gonna say to myself it was a movie made by director Steven Spielberg, and Bay was his assistance, lol, egomaniacs suck big donkey b...s but without doubt BEST MOVIE EVERRRR!!!!!!!!
sorry Bruce Willis but i'll wait for the dvd.
It will make history!
Great movie 2 thumbs up for S.S.
this's not SPOILER, see the Burger King Commercial.

This would be a great thread in the forum :-(
ReplyDelete** Possible spoilers... **
ReplyDeleteBeing a fairly avid TF G1 fan, and loved the trailers I was expecting a great film!
And great it was!
Transformations were impressive. Action scenes were great and it's a seriously good popcorn-flick.
But that's just what it pretty much is.
Don't expect great actor direction, except for Shia. He's a great actor. There are a few silly bits and Transformer characterisation could have been less two-dimensional - we know they all have stories but they weren't really in the film.
Besides all that, I'm itching to see it again. The action was just awesome. Kept me on my toes.
"Optimus has lips (Bay lied as always)"
ReplyDeleteSince we all knew this was the case, and since Bay himself and everyone involved in the production told us that Optimus was going to have the lips in the movie, I'd like to know exactly what it is Bay lied about? The fact that that you didn't know Optimus was going to have lips and the rest of us did suggests that the problem was with you, not Michael Bay.
Awaiting your reply, Anonymous...
I just saw the movie and it was great!! Everyone knows with every movie based on something else, the director is going to take liberties to create "their own vision". For true fans, there is going to be things that piss them off (Optimus Prime with lips and Bumblebee as a Mustang) but for the average person, it IS a great movie. All the negative hype had me thinking the movie was going to suck, but it was way better than I thought. I definitely wouldn't mind Mr. Bay doing a second Transformers movie. The true sign was the Koreans in the movie theater with me. While they normally go for Korean films (with all the stars crying at some point or another, it's true!!) They loved the movie and wouldn't leave their seats. I suggest everyone check this movie out.

ReplyDeleteBumblebee is a Camaro. Geez, get with it.
ReplyDeleteWell, Anonymous? I'm still waiting to hear about all those Michael Bay lies.
ReplyDeleteOh, man. Will you guys stop trying to piss on each other's shoes! Stop the macho crap. Who gives a rat's ditzy about if Bay lied. Bay said that Murph lied. Who the hell cares! (I think the above "gentleman" is referring to annonymous #4 starting from the top. Too many "anonymous"-es here. (I use "dubbs" to remain somewhat anonymous--although I do have a blog on gmail. Just don't want "mix 'personalities'".)
