Author Topic: Transformers (2007) Michael Hossen Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Perth, Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 06-28-2007 09:14 AM                        Just saw this tonight. Vaguely remember this from when I was younger. I really enjoyed it, and it was a hit with pretty much everyone I talked to after. It has some great effects, and is really well made. Much better than I expected. I will give it 4/5.

Nonetheless, is it really necessary to post such an eye catching bit of text days before the majority in these forums even have the opportunity to watch the film?  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-28-2007 05:08 PM                        I agree. Spoilers are one thing, but basically revealing the ending with no more than a glance required is something else. You probably would have reviewed "The Empire Strikes Back" by posting, "Luke is Darth Vader's son!" (By the way -- it's "vaguely.")  |  IP: Logged Michael Hossen Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Perth, Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 06-28-2007 07:18 PM                        Sorry guys. I thought the spoiler was pretty obvious. Ill take it off. It was released yesterday in Australia, when is it released in the US?  |  IP: Logged Michael Hossen Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Perth, Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 06-28-2007 07:18 PM                        Sorry, double post.  |  IP: Logged Allison Parsons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 630 From: East Peoria, IL Registered: Oct 2004 posted 06-28-2007 07:52 PM                        Oh, like that spoiler is a big shocker to everyone anyway... Gee, couldn't have guessed that would happen...  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-28-2007 10:54 PM                        It didn't happen in the original Transformers movie, that's for sure.  |  IP: Logged Michael Hossen Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Perth, Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 07-01-2007 03:15 AM                        I didn't realise that it isn't released until the 3rd in the US. I am loving the movie though. It gets better every time I watch it!!  |  IP: Logged Jeff Lacey Film Handler Posts: 54 From: Canton, MI, USA Registered: Jun 2005 posted 07-02-2007 11:40 PM                     What a good movie! For sure a solid 4.75/5. So what did I see wrong with it? For one, I live in Detroit, so some of the scenes in Detroit, did not match up well with the surrounding areas. Yeah, I realize that no one other than Detroiters would catch it, but anyhow... The other issue I saw was that you needed to suspend your belief of how the government actually works. The sec of defense is going to plan everything on his own? I guess I could be being a bit harsh, but I was thinking that it would be like an Independance Day movie with the hero President. Overall, the movie is very well made, and if it doesn't open HUGE, it should have long legs. Perfect action, great sound mix, some comedy and overall a classic summer action release and the best one so far this year. It has something for everyone, and I'd be surpised if there is many people that don't like it!  |  IP: Logged Mark J. Marshall Film God Posts: 3188 From: New Castle, DE, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 07-03-2007 02:17 AM                    Finally, the summer has arrived! A little long and drawn out in spots, but overall a very well done alien invasion, go USA, blow everything up, special effects spectacular summer pop corn flick. However, given recent evidence, I'm sure that this was a completely accidental success of a movie. I've all but lost hope that Hollywood can make these kinds of fun movies on purpose. Solid 4.5 out of 5 from me.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 07-03-2007 02:18 AM                     I agree it was a good flick, but being a Michael Bay film, it had to remind me of what he did with his 2001 film "Pearl Harbor" - he carried some scenes out way too much at times that could have easily been trimmed down some and still got the msg across. 4/5 for me .... yet, it will be a good summer hit.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-03-2007 03:23 AM                     You people have lost your minds. I walked in tonight on a screen that looked like a scene from Top Gun (and just as lame) with one of those "pep talk" scenes about how important the mission and some such bullshit is. I also walked into a scene where there were 3 transformers standing around having a chat with each other. All that was missing was the tea! 0 out of 5 starts. No way will I even give this piece of retardedness a chance. A bad movie is one thing, but this is just stupid.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-03-2007 03:45 AM                        That's how I felt about The Matrix after wandering in to a few random scenes during the screening. I hear this movie has "shaky-cam". That could be the deal-breaker.  |  IP: Logged Keith Peticolas Expert Film Handler Posts: 108 From: Eagle River, Alaska, USA Registered: Aug 2001 posted 07-03-2007 07:17 AM                     I just finished watching this...this...thing. My God what a piece of poo. Michael Bay needs to go away. Somebody buy him a Steadi-Cam and beat him to death with it. All I could say is why didn't James Cameron make this. Neck and neck with Eragon for stinkiness.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."
