Friends, Penny Arcadians, and unwashed masses, lend me your ears, I come not to praise Bay, but bury him with accolades praising the fact his movie wasn't a travesty.
Alright, I'm aware that there is a transformers thread, its nigh on 70 pages long, and has a lot of stuff from the early screens and whatnot, and has now degenerated into wild accusations and pornographic reference.
So, being an Australian, this movie just came out here. I, accompanied by my girlfriend (not a nerd, and never seen a transformer before), went and purchased tickets to said movie. Surrounded by one of the most bizarre assortment of movie goers, I awaited with trepidation as to whether I would have the murder of Micheal Bay on my conscious.
Without giving away any spoilers, I have to say this - G1 has nothing to do with this movie, forget it and you may enjoy it.
Now to the bits everyone is interested in.
Robot fight scenes : OMFG OMFG WOW WOW WOW. *Ahem* Passable.
Military Scenes : They used the accurate NATO all arms call for fire, and for the most part the military bits were good.
Pure human scenes : Eh, still not as bad as it could have been. Acting shoddy in places.
Plot : um....yeah *shifty eyes* its there, its not great, and primarily is there for moving the fight scenes along and giving a reason for it all happening.
Acting : Its not horrible. There is a lack of direction evident, but the actors did a good job, bar a couple of people (oh trust me, you will want to kill this guy)
Love Story : Its there, but they are a tad busy with all the shit blowing up to move it along. Which is good.
Cheesy Bits : Yeah there are a few more than I liked, but the gf lapped it up.
Overall, if you are a rabid G1 fan then yeah, you will hate this, like NMA hates fallout 3, 2, tactics and brotherhood of steel. If you can forget G1, and just go and autobots vs decepticons then you may enjoy it. Honestly, best movie I've seen in a long time.
I liked it a lot, my gf, never having seen a transformer before, is now tugging on my arm saying we need to see it again, and wants to know more about the mythos. That can only be a good thing.

Anything in particular you want to know pony?
PS no Unicron.
Oh God
Well now I may as well not watch it at all.
i understand bumblebee doesn't actually speak
The lines the others get can be somewhat retarded, and they can be a gun-happy.
Bumblebee doesn't talk, they just say his voice was damaged and they leave it at that.
Lostwords, I'm not spoilering shit, you Americans have gone to war for less :P (I kid I kid).
anything that isn't a vehicle?
Is this true?
Satans..... hints.....

But then the Ellimist gives him the power to morph again
Although at the end he does go into self imposed exile so it's almost the same I guess
I know.
edit: Also, I hate when firefox gives a shitty spell correction choice and I change a misspelled Voyeur to Viewer without realizing it.

Skull Man lets talk about Animorphs
For a kids series there was some heavy shit in there. I mean, it was no Digimon, but still.
rachel dying was pretty intense
just smacked to death by a polar bear
Arbron stuck in Taxxon morph
Hell, even some of the simple human stuff, like Marco's relationship with his dad
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
I was too much of a pansy for Goosebumps
fuck, even the covers gave me nightmares
Although whenever I see wheel of fortune I can't help but think of that faggot
that was nuts
also cassie and her issues with killing
I remember that at one point she demorphs from wolf after a battle and when she gets home she realizes she has some hork-bajir flesh between her teeth
explain
can't wait for 30 people to ask for the youtube and an in-depth description of said stuff
