The special effects in these movies always make me smile. They're the reason I watch the otherwise mediocre movies. As a computer animator I love analyzing it all and appreciate the work put into it.

Ding, Ding..... winner.

I don't get the Transformers haters that creep up on the message boards all over the place. What idiot goes into a Michael Bay film about two warring factions of giant robots from outer space starring Shia LeBeouf and Megan Fox and then complains that it was nothing but a weak script with stupid jokes and so much camera action that it made me nauseous? Well no shit, Sherlock, what did you expect? Driving Miss Daisy or Chariots of Fire?

The really funny part is when I read crap like, "The first one was bad and the second one was even worse with even less script and more action". Well double no shit Sherlock!!!! The first one made 3/4 of a billion $$$$ using that formula, why woud anyone do anything but enhance what it was..... A MICHAEL BAY FILM ABOUT TWO WARRING FACTIONS OF GIANT ROBOTS FROM OUTER SPACE STARRING SHIA LEBEOUF AND MEGAN FOX!!!!! I think they/you're all a bunch of liars, cuz if the first one was so bad how could you have been stupid enough to go see the second one and still be able to post coherent messages on a PC? Apparently, many of you had your Mom type it for you, cuz the second one made even more money than the first.

Admit it, you just crapped your chaps when Blackout (the helicopter) transformed and blew the hell out of things in the first movie and the forest fight scene in the second one has not been equalled by any kung fu film to date. If you go in looking for anything but action, you're gonna be dissappointed, duh.

I get it, it's cool to say that Donnie Darko and The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind were deep and wonderful films and that any movie that appeals to our baser instincts (sex & violence) are crap. It's nice that hipsters, non-plebians and your college professors will applaud you for being articulate and dimensional enough to appreciate films like My Own Private Idaho, but you know what? Donnie Darko didn't even make $750,000 at the box office. That's less than a million dollars more than The Land Before Time XIII and it was straight to video. Josh Duhamel probably made more from payroll and royalties than the entire take for ESOTSM.

Movies are entertainement. If you are one of the 37 people that can really, truly, honestly say that you weren't entertained, fine. But just remember, that it's so mainstream to bash the Transformers franchise that you're no longer the minority and it's not cool anymore. Ref. the "Goths" on South Park. At this point, it's a lot like Hootie and the Blowfish. You know most everyone was lying, cuz no one says they liked 'em, but I really doubt there's just one guy with 7 million copies of their first album sitting in the middle of his shed. Puhleez.
I dare you NOT to see the 3rd one. You will, though.

Footnote: How in the hell did The Golden Compass beat the original Transformers to win the Academy Award for best special effects? Even a nearsighted 48-year old spinster that's never been on a date and only watches Matthew Modine flicks can tell there was nothing in the same league that year.

Oh jeez get over yourselves. Transformers 1 & 2 were a blast. Great special effects, great action, decent comic relief, Megan Fox. . .

Yeah it's not exactly Citizen Kane, but who cares? It's a movie based on a freaking kids' cartoon that was designed to sell toys.

No, the first was decent special effects + Megan Fox; the second failed so badly I didn't even finish watching it.

RE: smitbret I own a hootie & the blowfish CD.
 
Great post, smitbret. That's exactly how I feel.

As much as I appreciate movies like The Godfather, Transformers definitely has its place in terms of cinema entertainment. Looking forward to the IMAX showing.

Me too, I own the first two.

So, three accounted for, 6,999,997 to go.

See... because of you I had to go watch that shit again. I thought I missed something. Ugly as fuck? Really? Seriously? Like you wouldn't touch her with a 10' pole?

I'd touch her with a pole. And I'm man enough to admit that it's not 10' long. :awe:

She looks like a fish!! I hate those damn fake blown up lips those hollywood freak chicks get now. If she wants a fat lip like that all she has to do is not get me my damn sammich!
 
Yeah she looks really extremely fake. Not that most hollywood women aren't, but they can at least hide it. The blond in the trailer really does look hideous. Maybe she's okay sans makeup.
 
I'm definitely seeing this for the SFX, but I'll be wearing earplugs. Damn movies nowadays are deafening.

I love Hootie and The Blowfish. Country version, not so much.
 
Why can they add some colors to the decepticons, instead of making them all silver? It's hard to tell who is who on the decepticons.

I agree. While I don't care much for the supposed "hottie" in this movie, I can tell you that I will be seeing this movie both in the theater and on Bluray with my projection and surround sound system.
 
No Megan Foxy 🙁

it will be ok, I have a feeling this is like a 2 part movie... i doubt the Transformers can save the day all in one movie
 
I turned off the first one without finishing.
I never even attempted to watch the second one.

The Michael Bay Transformers movies are pure shit, on par with "In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale". The only difference is that the Uwe Boll film was more watchable in that I didn't turn it off before it was done.

Also, is it just me or does the subtitle "Dark of the Moon" sound like Bay really wanted to call it "Dark Side of the Moon" but was afraid he'd get his ass sued?
 
I cannot wait til this movie comes out. My 7 year old and I have seen the first one multiple times in theaters, countless times on bluray. We saw the second one in theaters, countless times on bluray. I've spent probably close to 700 bucks on transformers toys between the two movies and counting now that the new toys are out. (I still havent figured out if the toys are for him or me yet 😛)

We simply cannot wait until the 3rd comes out, and in 3 FUCKING D to boot!!!!! I'm taking him to disneyworld when it comes out, but you bet your ass we'll be seeing it down there.

And if you don't like the movies......eat a dick.

word.

Rosie has a nice body, but the face has always seemed a little off.

More importantly, Shia LaDouche is still there. What a terrible actor.
 
I am trying to think of something I would rather do less than go see this piece of shit. Maybe I'll book a dentist appointment for opening night since I know that will be more enjoyable than another Transformers movie.

Maybe you should jack off to an Aronofsky movie.
