I liked the homage to the G1 Bumblebee at the beginning of the film. Although, was it an homage or a way of telling VW to take a hike in regards to VW not letting Transformers use their vehicles?

Anyways, loved the film. I actually thought Frenzy was pretty cool.

[sideswipe6520]

Am I the only one who thinks that besides Bumblebee, and Sam, that Frenzy was the best "acted" character? I mean seriously I laughed sooooooo hard almost every time he was on screen!

He sort of reminded me of Hammy the squirrel from Over the hedge crossed with the squirrel like creature from Ice Age
I loved the movie completely! It was a nice treat for me to be sitting in the auditorium before the show and listen to all the people talking about what they hoped to see and how bad they thought the movie would end up sucking but then as it progressed everyone was cheering and laughing.

The film literally got a huge standing ovation here in Wichita!

[Tenkyoen [AKA: WheelBar!]]

Same here! the movie was UNBELIVABLE!! I like all the crude humor, that was facinatingly awkward...^_^! I really loved it when the Autobots were hiding from Sam's parents! "Whoops! My bad!" THAT WAS HALARIOUS! course, the movie itself was the greatest thing I had ever seen, and July 2nd was the best night of my life....well...i do still have a long ways to go, but it is the best so far! (untill I go see it again!) HAHAHA!!! ^_^

Short review,
Peter Cullen as Prime really made the movie for me. I thought he was just AWESOME! Perfect! I do not think anyone could have replaced him or, for me at least, it wouldn't have been as enjoyable. I thought the fight scenes were a bit short but they were pretty action packed though a little hard to follow sometimes. The cgi was awesome, nothing really seemed awkward about it to me. I really wish there was more dialogue between the robots, especially Starscream and Megatron, I was very disappointed there. I wish it had been longer to develop the characters more. So all in all while I really enjoyed what was shown i wanted more. Maybe we all got a little spoiled watching every clip and design throughout the process? I kinda feel like I spoiled some of the movie for myself.

[kaldra prime]

Just saw the movie and I thought it was great. This was the prefect movie for Bay's big boom style. Lets put it this way. I took my girlfriend (who knows nothing about TF, despite my constant educating) and she loved it. Now for spoilers.




Bots

Prime was great. Cullen just made him better to the point that I got chills when he said "roll out".

Bumblebee was awsome as the comic releif. From pissing on humans to playing a phrase on the radio that said second to none while shadow boxing.

Ironhide was the true rough and tumble character he has always been. It didn't matter who or what it was he wanted to shoot it.

Ratchet did not get enough screen time in my opinion. He was very underused.

Jazz was a modern take on his cool 80's self, even to the point of break dancing as he transformed. Its just a shame he had to die. They could have done alot more with him.


Cons

Megatron didn't have too much of a role in the movie. He's death was too cheap and I was to the point of wishing for Frank Welker when it came to the voice.

Barricade was the best of the Decepticons in my opinion. His face to face with Sam was priceless. I will be thinking about him saying "Are you Loverboy217?" for along time.

Bonecrusher. Well theres not much to say about him. He was in the movie for all of 5 minutes.

Devistator aka Brawl. No character development, yet he did kick more ass than Bonecrusher.

Scorpinok was basicly there and gone. He was just filler in my opinion.

Starscreem need more lines and more screen time. He had alittle banter with Megs, but that was about it. Though he had a nice fight scene with the F-22's.

Blackout had very little characterization, but was in a good bit of the movie. He was the only Con that had a cool "killed by human" death.

Frenzy was my second favorite Con. He reminded me of Waspinator, except that he was way smarter. He also seemed like he was on speed the whole movie.

All in all I loved it. Can't wait for the sequel.

[reanimate28]

ahhhhhhhhhhh......I Liked It a lot...I went into this movie thinking I was gonna have to force myself to like it but I truthfully did....I think Peter Cullen steals the show he is a bonified movie star...incredible voice actor..even little Frenzy was decent and I hated his design. Barricade has an awesome voice I love the way he screams and demands the info from laboufes character that was a great seen and the music was awesome when that car chase kicked in after barricades lines the crowd was cheering.....it was great. I dont understand why they didnt use frank Welker for Megs he could have done those lines that Weaving did...the only other thing was that Peeing seen I thought it was a lil tacky and crass, but hey those are my only 2 complaints oh and The weird subplot with the blond and black guy computer hacker it was pretty much pointless...I hated everyone of Bays films in the past save for the Rock...I dont know if it was becuz I am a huge Transformers Fan or what but I really really Liked the movie I want to see it again maybe later today... My bird is hard for this movie

Review from the Washington Post:

'Transformers,' Turning Into High-Tech Entertainment

By Desson Thomson
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, July 2, 2007; Page C01

"Transformers" uncovers man's greatest love -- for machines that whir, click, rev or destroy.

But before you dismiss this movie as toy porn for overgrown boys (not that there's anything wrong with that), consider this: Never was this goofy rapture explored with more fun. For the non-Transformer heads among us, who couldn't tell an Autobot from a Decepticon, it's a wonderfully playful experience.

Director Michael Bay -- of "Armageddon" and "Pearl Harbor" -- has superbly universalized the Transformers franchise, a behemoth of a subculture that includes a 1980s animated television series, comic books, the Hasbro line of toys, a 1986 movie and Japanese TV spinoffs with titles such as "Transformers: Super-God Masterforce."

Sure, his movie (co-produced by Steven Spielberg) targets those who grew up with profound or casual familiarity with the Transformers. He's deeply aware that potent childhood memories are at stake here. Which is why "Transformers" has some of the best action sequences you'll see all summer, including a way-cool shootout between a tank-size, scorpion-tailed Decepticon and American soldiers in the Middle East desert.

But in Bay's hands, the movie's about more than explosions and robots. It's also a warmly appealing comedy centered on delightfully jittery teenager Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf), who has to not only save the world but also watch for the facial blemishes and dorky moves that might jeopardize his other pressing project--getting into the good graces of comely new companion Mickaela Banes (Megan Fox).

Sam's worries don't end there. He has to tiptoe around a pair of particularly inquisitive parents (Kevin Dunn and Julie White), who remain blissfully unaware of his mythical responsibilities. (As Sam's mom, White is the movie's ultimate scene stealer -- at one point engaging Sam in a frank discussion about self-gratification, oblivious to the gigantic robots lurking outside the house, scuffing up the lawn.)

We could outline the outer-space conflict that brings good alien robot Optimus Prime (voice of Peter Cullen) and his evil adversary Megatron (Hugo Weaving) to Earth, and how they desperately seek an all-powerful cube of life-giving energy, hidden somewhere on the planet. We could explain how Sam's involvement stems from a startling discovery made by his great-great-grandfather in the 1870s. But the joys come in discovering these things for the first time, and enjoying such eye-bulging special effects as Sam's dusty old Camaro -- his first car! Bought by his dad! -- turn into a building-size (and sweet-natured) transformer by the name of Bumblebee (voice by Mark Ryan).

That boy-and-his-machine relationship follows the affecting tradition of films such as Brad Bird's animated "The Iron Giant," featuring a heart-melting affection between a 9-year-old boy and his giant robot from outer space, or the second and third "Terminator" films, in which the young John Connor befriends the imposing Terminator, as far more terrifying machines threaten humankind. For audiences, the emotional pull comes in finding a hint of humanity amid all that circuitry. And in "Transformers," we seek, and find, the same connection.

"Transformers" also underscores how emotionally connected we have all become to technology -- our cars, computers, cellphones and BlackBerrys. We personalize our various machines, as if they're the inorganic equivalent of the wet-nosed family dog. We customize ring tones on our cellphones. We agonize over the right desktop images. We demand Bluetooth and GPS in our vehicles. We think of those instant messaging beeps as the chirpings of friendliness. So what's so crazy, really, about a blitzkrieg action flick that takes that irrational sense of attachment and runs with it, laser projectiles flying overhead? It's just another day in the hi-tech neighborhood.

Transformers (144 minutes, at area theaters) is rated PG-13 for intense sci-fi action violence, brief sexual humor and language.

[Magnimus]

THe Autobots are not supposed to be a legion of goody two shoes. THe only ones with a true sense of heroism are Bumblebee and Optimus, and both were characterized as such.

THe rest of the Autobots are simply soldiers fighting for a more noble cause, which is how it should be. It would be terribly boring if every autobots carried the exact same moral values.

Don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say I wanted every character to have the same moral values, or I wanted them to be a legion of "goody two-shoes". However, that said, I didn't feel the movie took the time to set most of the Autobots apart from the Decepticons in terms of their views except with Prime. Partly, this is due to little screen time for the Autobots. Ironhide could easily have been a Decepticon if not following Prime (that works well enough), we don't know jack about Ratchet or Jazz, and to me Bumblebee wasn't much of a noble hero as he was a brash youthful warrior (showing off his new Camaro design, "lubricating" on John Tuturro's character).

How exactly can a movie be funny and not be fun?

Easily. Mel Brook's Blazing Saddles is a funny movie. Makes me laugh. Or the 40 Year Old Virgin. But Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Back to the Future, the original Star Wars films, and The Incredibles are fun movies. They have humour, but balance that with emotion, heart, and a sense of adventure that I felt were lacking in this film.

[MisterMehoff]

I liked the homage to the G1 Bumblebee at the beginning of the film. Although, was it an homage or a way of telling VW to take a hike in regards to VW not letting Transformers use their vehicles?

Anyways, loved the film. I actually thought Frenzy was pretty cool.

I saw the movie at the 8pm premiere viewing on July 2. I loved the film as well. I guess the production company had a huge advertising deal with GM, which is probably the main reason you GM commercials with Transformers in them.

Did anyone notice the sound effect used in the G1 cartoon series for the vehicle-to-robot transformation was not really used. If you watched the sneak peak trailers, you will notice when Sam and his soon-to-be g/f meet Optimus Prime for the first time in the alley, the sound effect is used in that trailer, but not the actual movie. I heard it once when the small radio robot decepticon or when they energized the cell phone with the all spark energy.

Overall, it was a great movie. They spent a lot of time backtracking the story to bring people up to speed. I was hoping Bumblebee would have an actual voice instead of the radio.

The audience of mid-20s to 30-somethings cheered and applauded as Optimus Prime and the Autobots "rolled" into their first scene. It was great! The computer graphics were incredible.

My girlfriend never watched the G1 cartoon, but actually liked the movie. I filled her months ago on the Transformers saga. I gave her the rundown of the entire history of the Autobots and Decepticons.

Note: Decepticon Soundwave is the radio on Air Force One. IronHide is a bad-ass truck in really life. You'll notice him. I wish I had a true truck like that.

[Magnimus]

I heard it once when the small radio robot decepticon or when they energized the cell phone with the all spark energy.

It is used subtly when Blackout transforms for the first time.

[Metal Gear Solid Fan]

Going today after work to see, "TRANSFORMERS"!!!!! I can't wait!!!!!!

[RichGarner]

I think I was in the Team Valium theater... the only hooting and hollering was from me. I clapped at the end and only then did others join in clapping. Otherwise, it was a tough crowd!

The movie is sick! Much better than I had imagined. Having said that...

Did anyone else feel a little let down with the battle between Prime and Megs? I was hoping for more onscreen fighting between them as well as a more defined victor.

Otherwise, no complaints! I will be returning to the theater several times before the end of the month.

[Halo]

I saw it and loved it. The only thing that bothered me was that parents brought small children to see the movie, when they shouldn't. After the movie, you could see that some were angry. The movie is rated PG-13 for a reason. But all in all, it was one of the best movies I've seen in a while. I'm going to see it again on Saturday.

[SideswipeOwnsSunstreaker]

9:15pm @ Muvico Paradise in Pembroke Pines, FL.

OMG, Bay redeemed himself for the shitfest he's been slating his name to over the past couple of years. That had to be the best representation of Transformers I've ever seen.

I was dubbed "the Transfan expert" in our group of 20 heads. I kept getting goosebumps when Prime spoke his 1986 lines. Hell, the first time you see Prime roll down the alley and transform... SPEECHLESS. The started to clap and everyone joinded and cheered on. It made me feel like 7yrs old again.

People would say the story was lackluster... but you gotta remember that G1 was nothign more than 30min toy commericals. So in my eye... top notch story telling in the Transformer mindset.

Jazz had potential... shame he had to go so quick. But like in the Marvel universe; no one stays dead for too long.. atleast thats my hope for Jazz.

Barriacde was amazing! That chase scene with Bumblebee was jaw dropping! And his voice was perfect. Matched the Deceptacon attitude.

Starscream and the F-22 dog fight.... WOW!

All the G1 homages were great. Megatron's mace, Primes sword (axe), "Fleshings"... I was surprised not to hear "slag" at all.

Overall, a awesome movie. By Sunday I'm pretty sure it I'll have seen it over 4 times!

[Sunstar]

Despite the Monkey Scream starscream

Since Starscrewam is EASILY the coolest and most fearsome-looking transformer in the movie, This is a testament to why you don't judge a movie before you see it...

my reference to monkey scream is because I am a Starscream collector. I do not really find it the most attractive figure in my collection. I am not particularily fond of that figure at all.

I never said he was not the "coolest" looking transformer. I have seen the trailers and he moves in a very interesting manner. I have watched the Starscream transformation sequence a few times.

Just to know a little bit about me is I am a Starscream collector, as I said before. I have Starscream figures from almost every generation that has existed. I collect them because they are interesting and it is actually fun. Even the figures that I don't care for. I am also a Starscream fan, and a big one at that. I have not really cared for the design since the original concept sketch. But it has seemed to worked movement wise. But I digress.

I have 60 Starscream figures in my collection as well as 3 figures relating to the movie. I am looking for other figures like the Movie Voyager one. Because of the mass of figures in my colletion, I sometimes give them alternate names. Bob is machine wars Starscream and Monkey Scream is the current Movie Starscream.

I have not judged the movie yet, I have not said it will suck nor have I said it will rock. I remain neutral.

This is a testament as to why you do not judge or assume to know a person unless you know who they are or why they have stated what they stated.

Edit: just to clarify.... I did say I was Disappointed there was not much of Starscream in the movie and I had hoped to have seen more.

[Samsonator]

THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS
For anyone who hasn't seen it, it was great, go see it!



For everyone else:

For an establishing picture with at least one guaranteed sequel, I can see this as being a great introduction to the masses of their new Transformers continuity. It's CLEARLY not G1, but to be honest, from a strictly plotline point of view, I'm damn happy for that. I was suprised with how many characters actually get offed in the film... I knew they couldn't all survive it, and the sequel needed some slots to fill with new characters so hasbro can make some more cash releasing new figures... Even Jazz's death bothered me only about as much as it bothered Prime... but what about Megs? The sequel will be without a Megatron?...

I was a bit disappointed by the very small ammount of dialogue between Megs and Screamer, originally it was stated that we'll "see a lot of that dynamic" (Starscream wanting to take over leadership, trying to backstab Megs, and at one point I believe it was mentioned that Megatron would call Starscream down for it and smack him around a bit) but all we got was just a little "you failed me again" or whatever...

Anyway, all things aside, a great movie, I'll see it a few more times, certainly. [/b]

[Kyle Voltti]

I enjoyed the movie, it wasn't perfect.

The FX were good and so were the action sequences. the Autobots all looked good and so did most of the decepticons.

I hated Frenzy. The humour seemed forced to me.. it took me out of the movie. It felt likr the Burger King comercial where Prime is trying to order food.

I can honstly say John Tuturo, who I enjoy as an actor, annoyed the hell out of me.

and I was annoyed by all the cutting away from the transformers, i don't need to see sam scuttling through a sewer while Prime drops the one will rise, one will fall line. I need to be doing cool sweeping shots around Prime and Megatron when he says it.

so I give it a 6 out 0f 10

[n_tel_ekt]

MAY CONTAIN small SPOILERS







This film kicked so much ass. Both cheeks at the same time kind of ass kicking. Shia turned out to be great as the central human character. Very believable guy. The autobots in motion... BEAUTIFUL. Micheal Bay was a great choice for director, anyone else might not have created these kind of fights scenes!

The first act of the movie was fast paced and funny as hell as it established all the character. We start with a menace evoking sequence which shows a certain chopper arrive on a military base without warning which sets the stage. The sequence when Sam and the girl meet and he gives her a ride home is very funny (nice retro music, though I was waiting for "The Touch" to play). Then, my favorite sequence in the movie for me, when the autobots are introduced and go to his house. The autobots in Sam's backyard trying to hide was classic. Also, it gave the bots TONS of personality. It really has the feeling from the cartoon in that it shows the Bots as a peaceful race of scientist and explorers and the Cons as war machines bent on destruction. The 2nd act showed the backstory of the Witwicky family and why the Transformers were here, etc. The last act is WAR!... Amazing action here. There are so many little things that add on to the fun, too. Jazz's breakdancing was a fan favor (plus a hilarious statment he makes reminds me of a Don Imus incident). Frenzy shoots the finger! A little reference to Lil' Bush. The end leaves plenty of room for a sequel... BUT IM THINKING (like all great stories), MICHEAL BAY HASNT MADE HIS MEGA TRILOGY YET, THIS IS HIS CHANCE!!!!

Freedom is the right of all sentient beings!!!

[SunScourge]

This was how I, my wife, my son, my dad, my mom, and my best friend looked after the movie. Go see this movie I will see it at the movies until it come out on dvd. Only have two complaints didn't like Jazz dieing and Decepticons needed more camera time.

[Skowl]

That film was magnificent! Far from perfect, but still one of the best action films I've ever seen. The whole Downtown fight sequence is one of the best action scenes ever put on the big screen!

Here's the long and short of how I saw it...

*spoilers... of course*

PROS

- The CGI is breath-taking
- The transformation sequences are amazing, everytime a bot transformed my heart skipped a beat
- The TF voices (for the few that actually do talk) are very well done, Cullen really brings Prime to life as I knew he would, and Weaving is great as Megatron.
- I love how, despite alot of CG work, alot of things in the film are "real" - real explosions, the real Bumblebee robot, even Frenzy had a little animatronic version for some of the closeup shots. I love it when filmakers do that. CGI, no matter how good, can never replace objects that are there in reality.
- The movie starts quickly, no long, boring introductions. After seeing how horribly Spiderman 3 and Pirates 3 had been edited, it's nice to see an action film paced correctly.
- Those closeup shots of the Transformers faces are priceless.
- The "Autobots' intro" scene brough tears to my eyes.
- Bumblebee "talking" through his radio really came across wonderfully. I was skeptical at first, but they really pulled it off!
- Something really has to be said about Shia Labeouf, he really sold the human-element of the film to me, his performance is great. I was always convinced he was really there with those giant bots
- the supporting cast is also very good, I had Megan Fox pegged for just dumb busty eye candy, but she is very likeable on screen.
- The movie is actually quite funny, and the audience really enjoyed the jokes
- The Allspark making little robots... that Nokia guy was adorable, and Mountain Dew 'bot rocks ("Do the Dew, or the Dew does you!")

CONS:

- Bonecrusher, my favourite design of the movie, has like 40 seconds of screen time... seriously, it's a shame.
- Starscream was way way waaaayyyy underused. He only has one line and does practically nothing in the movie except for scrapping up a few jets and shooting the Autobots once or twice.
- The "freeway" fight sequence should have longer... well, longer... it barely existed. Transformers really needs a highspeed battle with 'bots transforming back and forth dodging bridges and stuff... maybe for a sequel.
- Alot of plotholes, but they didn't really bother me much.
- Alot of continuity errors (like Sam, in the morning, being chased by Bumblebee while riding the girly bike, then suddenly Bumblebee catches up to him before Barricade appears and it's suddenly night time)
- Jazz barely does anything.
- Ratchet only transforms once I think.
- You never really "see" Brawl transform, only a little bit...
- Prime saying "my bad" after stepping on the fountain... It doesn't seem like what he would say... it bothered me.
- Flames on Prime are still stupid.


oh and the biggest "CON"...

- LIPS ON PRIME ARE HORRIBLE! Really though, and I'm gonna say something that will get alot of people upset, but it must be said: If you absolutely need lips on a character to know how they're feeling, then you're stupid and you don't understand what "context" is. This movie would have worked exactly the same with Prime's faceplate permenant. His lips were just distracting.



Still, I really enjoyed the movie. I was one of the skeptics for a long time, but I will say I am pleasantly surprised by how good this movie is. I was dissapoint by most of the year's big blockbusters so far, nice to see Transformers really deliver the goods.

I was going to disagree with the lips, but you're bascially right. I thought BB conveyed an amazing amount of emotion as a car, so lips are unneccessary. That said, they didn't actually bother me... but they were not necessarry.

[First-Aid]

OK..I'm going to give two points of view here: mine and my wife's who I dragged to the movie under the pretense of it being a "date night"...heh heh

Mine: gang, I still get goosebumps when I think about what I saw. Some have complained about the number of jokes in the movie but I can see where it's necessary: if not for the humor this would have been a VERY dark movie...I can see where the R rating would have been needed. The humor lightened it up and gave us a break from some of the more somber scenes in the movie. Shis is a great actor- I look forward to watching his rise: he reminds me a little of a young Tom Hanks in some of his mannerisms and his timing is very good. I drooled my way through Megan Fox's scenes. THere's been a lot of question about Sector 7; I firmly believe that it is a parody of MiB and is not meant to be taken seriously. John Turturro's character is eventually displayed as being a little unhinged, which fits the idea of S7 perfectly. They really didn't focus on any other human characters other than Sam and Mikaela (and they even downplayed that budding relationship too) which was perfect. No one human should have outweighed the bots and they didn't. As for the effects, if this doesn't get nominated for an Oscar for special FX I'd wonder what was wrong with the Academy's brains. Mind-blowing. ALl I can say. THe voices were perfect; Ratchet's line about pheromone levels was absolutely PRICELESS! The use of language was by the Autobots was a little odd, but if they learned the languages through the web, then I can guarantee they would have picked up colloqialisms and their usage pretty easily. ALl in all it was a fantastic movie.

My wife laughed a lot at this movie; she loved the humor and was really impressed with it overall. Her exact words were, "I sort fo expected it to be a lot worse, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a great movie." This coming from a non-Transfan means more to me than any Transfan review. Granted she's at least familiar with the continuities from my involvement, but she is more into classical literature, which is why I'm surprised she really enjoyed this movie. The humor appealed to her, the human element interested her, and the fight scenes kept her on the edge of her seat. Several times she leaned over to me and asked "do you need clean pants yet?" She genuinely liked the movie.

THe sold-out theater of geeks did too. The applause after the movie was thunderous and all the chatter was, "wow, that was awesome".

That movie was JUST PRIME and beyond. Fantastic.

[Rally Racer]

I'll keep it simple. No spoilers.

I thought it was good. Not amazing, since Bay's movies are never amazing, but visually stunning above all else. The story was plausible, the human characters were ok, but they really sucked up on the Transformer characters (asides from the few key that stood out from the rest) in terms of character development.

That being said, I probably would have enjoyed the movie more if I wasn't a TF fan, as much as my friends did. If the movie was not as funny as it was (absolutely HILARIOUS), then I probably would have enjoyed it even less.

Though the first thought that crossed my mind by the time the climax came around was that this is a good INTRO movie to the franchise. If they continue to make sequels, this is a very good way to give us the initial dose of what is to come. Once this settled in, I realized it wasn't a bad movie.

On a side note, I saw a fellow board member from TFW at the prescreening. Weird.

Oh, and yes, I wore the costume and got an applause *NERD*

[First-Aid]

The Movie is Just Prime,

But can anybody please tell me what happened to Barricade??? Seems like they just forgot about him during the chase seen to Mission city.

In the movie comics and novel, Prime dispatches him right after Bonecrusher.

I'll bet that scene ends up being in the inevitable "extended version" DVD release...for now it probably is on the cutting room floor.

[First Gen]

SPOILERS: If your reading this, you know this whole friggin site has spoilers so if you don't like it, you may want to look in the upper right hand corner of your screen and click the X.

The action was AMAZING. Transformations for certain bots took a little too long in my opinion. Plot holes galore, wow were we shafted with all the prequal stuff. Michael Bay can't tell a love story to save his life. And alot of stuff has to be assumed, I take it, that happens in the movie.

Voices were really good in my opinion.

Why the HELL does Prime get his ASS KICKED SO BAD????

Skywarp-2's theory of a Decepticon base seems very possible with the outcome of the movie.

Oh and at the end. is that the Ark??
