MiG- Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Thoroughly enjoyed the movie! Me and a bunch of friends went, I switched off my brain (as it was a Michael Bay movie) and loved it. There was some stuff that, as a true fan bugged the hell out of me, but I understood the need to change bits for the "mass" market as it were. I think my biggest beef really out of all of it was that the robots all basically looked the same. In the original cartoon a quick glance and you knew exactly who was who.. this, they were over complicated, spindly and similar looking apart from the obvious ones like Prime. I was also cringing at the "hacker" stuff - that sort of stuff in films always makes me wince. I did like so much of it though - the effects were frankly awesome, the jokes were ok most of the time, the main characters were good, the cars were mostly good (though would have been nice to see something other than American cars.. even though Barricade the police mustang was just such a cool car!). A great romp, lots of explosions and lots for the geek in me. Yea the hacker stuff always does my head in! and the Whole Story of Die Hard 4 was based on the ****! :pinch: Transformers tho, 11/10, the CGI has to be the best, i've ever seen in any film, ever.. I hope the guys who did the CGI got a paid a hell of a lot of $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted August 4, 2007 Veteran Share Posted August 4, 2007 Well, the movie's budget was only around the $150m mark and it's been said that a large chunk of it was spent on live action, so I'm not sure the guy did get paid as much as he could have lol.

Alex_is_Axel Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 This was the best movie i have ever seen! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Absolutley class. The old cartoons were a little before my time but from what I remember this is a pretty damn good live action version. CGI definitley looked like it had been spent on. Pure entertainment, whatever your age. Laughed when Bumblebee got all sensitive about the age of his vehicle. Everyone I know whos seen this film thought it was great, this is definitley one to be enjoyed exclusivley in the cinema! 9.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TYT Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 yupthat's the one thank you very much there's another song after thig one bumblebee changes it when they are already stopped there, when she goes down... any clue? When Sam first offers to drive her home, it's "Drive" by The Cars. When Bumblebee breaks down, it's "Sexual Healing" by Marvin Gaye When Sam tries changing the station, it's "I Feel Good" by James Brown When Bumblebee finally starts up and Sam slams the hood down to catch up with Megan Fox, it's "Baby Come Back" by Player. I think that's all of them. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techno_Funky Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 (edited) Just for the record ,when he "drops" her home we can hear "Linkin Park - What I've Done" on the radio. (also when we get into the end credits) ***Dances around the rooms cause he is a LP fan :D*** And the movie rocked ,absolutely did . 100/10 no thats not a typo :D Edited August 19, 2007 by Techno_Funky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreqFace Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 THIS WAS AWESOME. Seriously, when I first heard about this I was like "Ugh, are they that desperate for ideas? This is gonna suck.", but after seeing it I'll eat my words. Just brilliant, I loved it, can't wait for the sequel (2 of which have been greenlighted due to the success of this one).

Lqv2015 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Probably because we all knew it was going to be nothing more than a blockbuster action movie for the summer. Nothing Oscar worthy. The CGI was amazing & we were all left wanting more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lqv2015 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 A two little nitpick, but the autobots in their robot form looks a lot bigger compare to the vehicle that they change to. Also there should a lot more destruction during the fight scenes. Especially the bridge scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
