This movie was terrible. Fuck all of you guys for misleading me.
If I wanted to see a subpar awkward teen comedy, I'd go see fucking superbad. There were so many human characters that none of them got any time to develop except spike. Everyone else just came off as a cliched action movie role: the code cracker, the basement hacker, the crack team of token ethnic army guys and their leader who's racing home to see his daughter for the first time, the bad guy in charge of the secret government agency, the out-of-the-loop pentagon dude, the dorky kid, and the out-of-his-league love interest.
Thank god the Brooklyn guy who only talked about baseball was disposed of quickly...
The transformers were almost an afterthought, and none of them had really any backstory at all except for "We're robots who've come to get back our robo-god-thing before our evil general guy gets it." Jazz said one full line in the entire fucking movie. Most of the decepticons said none, and Starscream was hardly present as well.
So basically you wish the movie was 5 hours. I agree.
No, I wish the movie focused on the fucking transformers instead of on 12 different fucking humans with the transformers thrown in as an afterthought.
That's pretty much all I have to say. It wasn't perfect but I enjoyed it.
It will sit nicely in my pantheon of fun actiony movies I can watch any time that dont take themselves too seriously. The Mummy, Pirates 1, The 5th Element, etc.
I'm going today to see if I can go ahead and buy tickets for the 8 pm July 2nd showing. Edit: Just called, they have plenty.
I now have the Bumblebee, Barricade and Ironhide movie toys.
I also found all these babies (along with about 20 more smaller ones I haven't identified yet) up in the attic last week when I was getting luggage down for my Disney trip.

There was a solid half hour of transformers blowing shit to pieces, yeah it was an afterthought.
Did you really want to see american beauty or did you want to go see explosions and giant robots? I went for the later and that's exactly what I got.

Despite the fact that I loved this movie a lot I do agree that the actual Transformers were a tad underused, but with the knowledge that a sequel is already being put into pre-production I'm not that bent about it. Whenever the robots were on screen I did not feel like my time was being wasted.

I've been meaning to clean Jetfire up. In Robot mode his age shows a lot more, I should have time this week. I just need to find good ways to clean up and fix some of them.
Edit: I also have Shockwave G1 in near perfect condition aside from his damn leg being broken off.

By the way, for those of you going to see it, don't stay until completely after the credits, but stay pretty far into the credits.
You see...
Starscream transform and fly into space. Seeeequel
Yeah, at the end I kept turning to my brother and being like..
Hey, what the fuck happened to Starscream? He was blowing up some jets but they never showed him getting killed. And then they showed him flying away... off to lead a new army of Decepticons for a sequel.
I just got back, this movie was fucking fantastic.
I mean, of course the humans are going to have a major part. It's a Hollywood movie, if you made a movie with no humans in it and 100% giant robots us fans would love it, but the population as a whole would be . If you went in expecting the humans to be layered and intricate characters you know nothing about Transformer's history of human supporting characters.
The transformers were not an afterthought by any stretch of the imagination. The first half was setting up the Transformers appearing and setting up their basic backstory. Then it was all about preparation for the final battle and said awesome battle. Jazz had much more than 1 line, and of course some of the Decepticons had bit parts, there were 8 of them, pair that with the 5 Autobots and you've got an awful lot of character development/fleshing out to fit into a 2 and a half hour movie. Even then, most Decepticons had pretty much one awesome part each, even if they had very few lines.
Scorponok in the desert, Blackout in the base, Starscream destroying the jets, Bonecrusher's duel with Prime, Brawl fucking up Ratchet/Ironhide and the military, Frenzy's Airforce One escapades, Megatron's battle with Prime and Barricade's chase with Bumblebee.
Really, this was a fun-as-hell fantastic action movie starring my favorite giant robots ever.
I would have enjoyed it much more if my friend was pointing out plot holes and saying how stupid it was. Were you expecting Macbeth? What part of "Giant robots from space that turn into cars and beat the shit out of other giant robots from space" did you not get?

ALL HAIL KING STARSCREAM!
As awesome as that prospect is, I'm much more excited about Tom DeSanto saying that he really wants to(and has an idea on how to fit them in logically) put the Dinobots and Constructicons in Transformers 2.
Lots of cheezy bits and ridiculous plot stretches, and it has that stupid Hanz Zimmer (or whoever did it this time) score that every single Michael Bay movie has.
Okay, first of all, Hans Zimmer fucking rules. Do not diss the man.
Secondly, no it was not Zimmer who did the soundtrack for the film. I never heard of him before.
The movie was fantastic.
I have some minor quibbles but nothing major. Boo-hoo the Decepticons didn't get many lines. Yeah well they didn't fucking speak English, and what were they supposed to do, read you their tech specs? Christ they are a bunch of bad guy alien robots who are trying to kill us all, they aren't going to make small talk.
Decepticons who could return in a sequel:
Scorponok. He was damaged but functioning when he fled underground.
Barricade. Never see him in the final fight at all.
Starscream. Duh.
Megatron. "Oh but he was killed." Man, the Allspark just juiced him up into Galvatron, okay? He wasn't nearly as fucked up as Brawl or Blackout.

I really liked the soundtrack.
I mean, orchestral when there should be orchestral and rocking guitar when there should be rocking guitar.
Bumblebee's use of radio was fucking excellent as well.

That's probably not the game. It's just the 360. People blame games all the time for it because they just happen to be the ones that they are playing when the system dies.
Oh I know it's not the game, I tried Gears and it froze too and then I got the red lights.
I just wanted something to blame.
I'm not even that angry about it. I knew it was going to happen eventually and I had an ext'd warranty so I don't have to pay anything at all. System should be back by the time NCAA 08 comes out so I'm happy.

not as much as i was by the trailer anyway.
why did they let
Plus, Prime had just finished fighting off Bonecrusher.
Yeah Prime didn't even get the killing shot. That made me sad

actually, theres not.
Theres not much more than what meets the eye at all.
Your eyes cover it pretty well. Dont have to use your pesky brain, which would probably tell you the movie was retarded.

I mean, everyone loves Optimus and Megatron of course, but Bumblebee was so good. Actually, pretty much all of the Autobots were awesome.
In addition to the obvious Kill Bill bit.
They borrowed quite a lot of music.
I was happy to see they were also my favorite Autobots in this movie. Especially near the beginning of the movie I loved

Any moment that they tried to make Sam look funny worked Flawlessly. Everything was so cheesy but so hillarious.

Except for the fact that I blame the 360 game for breaking my Xbox.
The game froze a few times last night and then I tried it this morning and got the 3 red lights after the system worked flawlessly for 11 months.
I just wanted something to blame.
I'm not even that angry about it. I knew it was going to happen eventually and I had an ext'd warranty so I don't have to pay anything at all. System should be back by the time NCAA 08 comes out so I'm happy.
There's always communism.
Jazz, we hardly knew ye.
I even bought your toy.
