Did anyone else find frenzy a little annoying??

Postby Maximal Primal » Thu Jul 12, 2007 9:56 am

I just kept cringing everytime I saw his little wirey butt on the screen. Hmm Maybe ILM and Bay decided to make him that way, so when he finally gets his ass whacked by his own weapon, it's that much more enjoyable?

Either way, the whole escaping from the Air force One scene was unbelievable, I mean, no one saw a 4 foot robot running on a Secure US base flight line?? And the conversation where he talks about Witwicky was kind of annoying as well.. It hink it was just his voice that may have done it.

I loved the movie don't get me wrong, I just thought Frenzy was a little annoying and I was glad to see him finally die!! when I saw him get ressurected into a walking head I was like WTF!!!??? then when he got his body back I was like, NO way!!!, then when he died my reaction was FINALLY!!! Maybe its good character development after all??

I didn't find him annoying all; a bit silly, but not annoying. The scene where he's uploading the virus and downloading Sector 7 information pushed the risque envelope, but otherwise, I found him okay.

At least he wasn't called "Soundwave."

I didn't hate him as much as I thought I would, but I still think he has way too much screen time especially for a really ugly design who shouldn't even have been in the movie in the first place...

Once I saw him in motion, and more of his characterization, I grew fond of the little robotic crack addict.

Definetly after seeing him moving around and acting i liked him alot more. now i want a semi- realistic toy of him, mabye if they make a robot replica!

uploading that virus in the plane scene was awsome. lol he looked ridiculous.

him walking to barricade was a bit silly, but who knows, he has so many optics and sensors and he's obviously covert that maybe he knew no one was looking his direction!

I wouldve liked it better if his fight scenes werent so rapid. At times I didnt know what the hell i was looking at, but that is a complaint about the movie's action sequences in general.

I agree. Part of what makes Transformers super neat is transforming, obviously, but hte fact that we get to watch it, study it, enjoy it, etc. But with this fast action camera crap, it makes it harder to enjoy the scene as a whole.

One of the best scenes was watching Barricade transform, because we saw all of him. It was even better then Bumblebee's first transformation (thought that was pretty good too)

Yeah he was pretty annoying. Way over the top, I mean, with him shaking all round and making so much noise you would think that he would be a bad choice to send on a intelligence gathering mission. You would think that somebody would notice all that comotion. Also given his spastic movements you couldnt really get a good look at himm, enven though there isnt much to look at anyway.

I thought he was a bit annoying the first time I saw the film because I wasn't really expecting his character to act so over the top but the second time I saw it I thought he was funny as hell.

I thought he would bug me but I think he was really funny. He was also a fun contrast to the other 'cons, small and funny instead of big and foreboding.

I was actually a little disappointed and felt that his character should have been written much much more annoyingly. For example he could have had a Rastafarian sort of accent...

I'll admit it, I loved that little nutcase. I almost wish he hadn't been killed off. He had the best final line I've seen a Transformer have in the movie.

He got on my nerves a bit but not enough to take away any of my enjoyment of the film. I do wish there was less of Frenzy and more of Barricade in robot mode.

frenzy= soundwave

Postby dryxler » Thu Jul 12, 2007 6:04 pm

all of frenzy's behavior (minus the hyperactivity) such as the hacking and accessing information and transforming into a boombox and throwing CDs made me think that they shoulda called him soundwave, a classic character who needs to get screentime. did anybody else see the correlation? he was kinda annoying, but in a humorous way. the scene where he escapes air force one was just plain ridiculous.

The character is ok. A bit annoying but ok. At least something new. Each character has his own personality. No problemo about that.
What i don't like is how Frenzy transforms. There's no logic on what goes where. He doesn't resemble at all any of the devices he transforms into. It's like magic or wizardy. Maybe Harry Potter crossed over after all! He had his invisible cloak and was following around Frenzy. Waving his magic wand everytime Frenzy transforms! :?

i didnt find him that annoying at all, and definitely not as annoying as early reviewers made him out to be: I was expecting the second coming of Jar-Jar Binks after reading a few of those.

I like Frenzy, He is such ;;) a cute bad-ass small con
with his fully loyalty to Megatron.
I think Frenzy screen time just had over long often. but the problem was not from Frenzy himself but it was from they skip and cut the screen time for decepticons and autobots in cybertron.
