Your full-on Transformers movie review
Ianidas | 2:49 AM on 07.03.2007 7 comments




I’ve been laughing at this picture for weeks. Now I can’t come up with better words for it. Here’s your review.

I go into Transformers with an open heart but hands in my pockets. How come? Did you own generation 1 (affectionately known to you by G1 if you did) Transformer toys? Did you watch the show and or Transformers: The (real) Movie? Then no need to explain.

I wanted it to be good, it’s like I was going to someone else’s prom, and that someone else I’ve never talked to in my life. Don’t follow? As in I’m dreading it, I’ve seen the clips and while some of it doesn’t look bad, on the whole I still am thinking this sucks and I’m going to have a miserable time. Anyone else feel that way about Michael Bay Gay’s “latest” masterpiece? I mean the guy hada spotless track record before he decided to pick up that piece of all of our hearts called Transformers.

Oh damn sorry, the movie - Go see it. I’ll give it this, it’s entertaining (for the most part) and it’s funny at points. Then again it’s not funny at points when it tries to be and it shouldn’t. That’s the worms in this wellington, overly comical. I mean I don’t mind a few jokes here and there, I mean I’ll give you that it’s a movie about gigantic morphing alien-machines so I guess a few puns are expected. But I mean I feel like the movie wasn’t taken seriously at all, like almost everything in it was some kind of sometimes-funny usually-lame joke. On the other hand, the script was kind of a joke to start with I suppose (as in, the storyline isn’t all too well written). That’s why I say its entertaining for the most part, don’t get me wrong - I was engaged, I enjoyed myself pretty thoroughly, I was entertained, but sometimes the joking nature of the movie in general was detracting.

The Transformers themselves? Pretty l33t. Which is why I wish they were in it more. Let me clarify, not that they weren’t in it a lot, but the movie was much more centered around the human-survival aspect and to be honest, aren’t we all here paying to see some super-robot-on-robot-action? There were only a very few Autobots featured really but they were still sweet enough, and the entire Decepticon ‘roll out’ put a smile on my face. I’m just a little upset it was earlier in the movie, and there was a little more fighting going on between the two, although the fighting-quality in it was great enough for pretty much any Transformers fan. I still disagree with the overall look of Megatron of course, and the whole moving-mouth thing, but it’s not the end of the world really.

My biggest beef : WTF do Autobots like suck? Not really ruining anything here, but the Decepticons are very much stronger than the A-Boiz. Even Optimus gets his robo-balls robo-rochambeau’d by Megatron, and how.

So on side notes - The girl is hot in it. The crowd was loud and boisterous, cheering loudly. Someone was rocking the helmet I want to buy so badly. $28? I might go hit that bad boy up tomorrow just because the real Optimus Prime will always rule, regardless of movies he’s depicted in. But really, it’s entertaining, it’s fun, it’s worth seeing, but it’s not the hardcore transformerotica that I had been secretly writing fanfic’s about, merely softcore solo transformerotica.

Ianidabots, roll out.


: From Ianidas.com - Ps I don't mean to steal thunder from BlindsideDork's thread but I'm saying 'oh noes' to work tomorrow so I figured I'd write it all up now.

Pz.

They did do a new version of the Transformers theme for the movie. Sounds good until the guy actually starts singing.

I mean the guy hada spotless track record before he decided to pick up that piece of all of our hearts called Transformers.

I REALLY hope that was sarcasm. :)

Wow really? Well yes the spotless track record part was sarcasm, but I really did thing it was a touch too comical. Don't get me wrong though I liked it, it was a fun time


At the same time this left me seriously wanting for a Gundam Wing movie, anyone else think the same thing?

I was thinking about blogging a review here but you took everything I though already! Good job.

My biggest complaint would be the time spent building the crappy human characters. While the Transformers them selves got about 1/2 the time building their characters. Oh, and the gaudy product placement........ugh.
