"The most original movie of the year!" - reviewer

WTH?? Transformers is the most original movie of the year? It's based off a 20+ year old cartoon. That must really say something about the other movies released this year as well.

or are the people saying this stuff just fucking retards?

People will say whatever it takes during movie commercials to make a buck. Just ask Sony with their ficticious reviews.

The power of marketing strikes again!


I don't know how any can consider any remake original. Same goes for sequels, etc.

Compared to Spider-man 3, Shrek 3, Ocean's 13, Bourne Ultimatum, Pirates 3, etc, it was rather original for this summer, don't you think?

You're in the minority, and the minority is quite small in this instance.

I liked seeing it at the IMAX despite the incredibly lame added scenes.

Megan Fox's bellybutton was as big as my head.

That has everything to do with how wrong I am, thank you for pointing that out.

fixed

the movie was not an award winning movie (except for maybe best integration of CGI characters into a real world/special effects), but it was definitely enjoyable and had a lot of good in it. to say otherwise is comical, because that means you don't want to be entertained.
do you really believe the movie was not entertaining? This is Transformers for christ's sake, do you expect an epic and moving film? I mean, while there is backstory to each transformer, it's something that doesn't translate to film when said film is meant to be a summer popcorn flick. Many diehard Transformers fans were still impressed with the overall movie. There is only so much you can do before you alienate the audience you need to make something of such scope an affordable and profitable project. But even without an explanation like that, it's still an entertaining movie nonetheless.
Jesus, my parents enjoyed the movie! My parents don't like movies that are senseless, things most teenagers these days go to see. And when I worked at the theaters this summer, I don't really even remember ONE person coming out of that movie disappointed. So, indeed, you are in the minority.

(damn why do I always write books for something that could be said in a few lines? too wordy)

are the theaters you go to equipped with small screens or something? The IMax theater I went to (housed in an AMC theater), had a screen that was equal to the normal screens at the National Amusements theater I worked at (keep in mind, those individual theaters each sat on between 250 and 490). But the picture was immensely superior.

as far as the added scenes, I would have much rather seen added scenes with the autobots or decepticons, however the individual character additions weren't horrible imho. They actually gave a little more depth to how much of a douche Sam was to his friend ;)
hey, dude just get in my car. and then later, dude, you have to get out man, just do it. even though i dragged you along, i'm kicking you out here too. lmao
i actually laughed when that part came together.
but honestly, right now that's the only added scene that I really remember. the other ones I thought were good at the time, but cannot for the life of me remember them now.

I didn't care for it either and I loved Transformers when I was a kid. I didn't like it not because it ruined the Transformers name or something, but because it was a 2 hour long GM commercial. I don't even normally mind product placements, but it was too distracting when they kept flashing car badges.

However, they should release a "fixed version" where all of the GM name badged are digitally removed and that scene where they hide from the parents for 5 minutes is cut. Then I'd think the movie was pretty good.

They really needed to add a scene that showed what happened to Barricade. He just disappeared off the highway. Instead, we got crap like an extended scene of Sam and his Dad at the police station watching a "This is your brain on drugs" commercial. Seriously, the scene overall didn't add much to the movie but they stopped it at the perfect time in the original cut with Sam asking the lame tough-guy cop if he was on drugs.

the paintjob, I can't make any comment on. It didn't bother me but I understand why it would upset some.
Bumblebee, well that's VW's fault. They denied the use of their car as it would be relating to war. :roll:
and with that, I enjoyed the quick jab at VW when Bumblebee, while at the car lot, hit the old VW next to him. :D

and as far as the movie, I'll be forced to try and get it in HD, some way, so I can watch it. No way am I buying a damned HD-DVD player, unless the format war ends and it is 'declared victorious'. 'Till then, I'll stick with one.

Can't remember if you have a 360 but I'm willing to bet that it will show up on Xbox Live Video Marketplace a week or two after the DVD release....just like '300' did.
