I have enough memories of my son playing with his transformers and watching the cartoon, too last me a lifetime!

i used to watch even stevens with shia L....loved that show.

I am really going to cry if I don't see this.

Was that Starscream on the phone?

But the real Soundwave could've blackmailed his way into the movie.
He will be in the sequels

I'm thinking of going to a midnite showing should i do this?

I really liked the movie...it was awesome!

karmatornado said:

YES!!

Yeah, I wanted Soundwave to be in there too, as well as the tapes!

There was a Decepticon boom box tho, a mean little fucker!

The movie exceded my expectations..... fantastic....loooong....but fantastic!

I went in with low expectations.

The movie turned out to be far better than I'd expected. It needed to have cut about 30 minutes from it, but it had a decent story. Decent cast, too.

The American-vehicles thing was very obvious, as was the prominence of the U.S. armed forces. Seeing it on Independence Day stirred up all sorts of weird feelings; I was all over the place on that one.

And, two words: Peter Cullen.

It was your classic 4th of July, American feel good movie ala (Pearl Harbor, Independence day, etc.), but done better.

I mean it had all the greatest hits:

1) US Military show of strength (I almost jizzed myself watching the F-22 battle and the a-10 Warthog appearance )
2) A bunch of U.S. soldiers "protecting" the little town in Quatar--you know, our "allies", whose relationship is based souly on US money

3) American cars (remember the ugly ass yellow camero)

4) American figures in high positions (this time it's the secretary of defense), taking the battle into their own hands . But it wasn't as corny as Independence Day--at least the president doesn't fight aliens in a fighter jet

This movie was so proud to be American it's not even funny


But I thought it was WILDY entertaining. THe battle scenes make Spider-man 3 look like Ghandi, and comedic scenes weren't bad either.

But what I want to know is. Las Vegas, when Robots are duking it out in your city for an hour, why the hell are women still carrying grocery bags in the streets? Yall need to heed the warning signs!

i'll add 2 more words: John Tutturo!

the only thing that made me scratch my head tho is ..fight scenes would start in the daytime looking like high noon...afterwards in a matter of seconds, it was dusk or night time

And ladies where still walking the streets with grocery bags in hand!

L4OATheOriginal said:

There were alot of things wrong, esp with the Decepticons! Like, Devastastor being a tank instead of 5 separate robots, Megatron transforming into a jet AND making him look totally differnt...I realize making him into a handgun would have been lame, but at least make him into a tank or something with a big gun...

this flick is da bomb!
took my nephews(they love it)we are seeing it again trhis weekend fo sure!

Imago said:

or after the battle in the streets...there were still people around period!

L4OATheOriginal said:

Yes, I was cracking the hell up.


I'm like, WTF? Why are yall still driving around? Why are you still holding that Nieman Marcus bag?

Lady, don't take your damned baby out for a stroll now! Shit!






Man, it was a fierce battle though.

It was like watching Starwars , The Matrix, and Chips combined.

Imago said:

well quite possibly it could have been reflecting on "stupid people will b lookers on in the face of danger"

That's the weird thing about Transformers... why did Megatron turn into a gun of all things... he's the leader of the Decepticons! He turns into the lamest thing... Then Galvatron also turns into a gun! At least it can stand without someone holding it.

Being a fan of the Transformers when I was a little kid in the 80s, I had tall expectations of this film and to my surprise it was a very good movie! The special effects were simply amazing. I thought the main character's parents were hillarious. The mom telling the federal agents that she'd kick their ass if they stepped in her flowers. Priceless. The dad and his garden path was just as fun as the pill popping "Taco Bell dog". It was a summer blockbuster that screams EXCITEMENT, especially if you watched the cartoon, read the comic books, and played with the action figures as a kid.

I highly reccomend it. It is pure fun!
Anthony Anderson and Bernie Mac are also in the film to provide even more comic relief.

Suprisingly good flick!! I sort of stopped caring during the last 20 minutes, but up til then its a blast. The thing is, the dialogue is very witty and well written. THe fam and I may have to see this one again.

It was great fun, but yes, it was just too long.


They could have trimmed 30 minutes of it an I wouldn't have cared.
The nasty scorpion thing they were fighting in the desert. That entire scene could have been taken out of the movie, even though love my a-10 warthogs.

Some scenes being shot for the Transformers movie in Detroit & LA last year:
