Transformers Does the movie get better with repeat viewings or worse?

[Avangarde]

Damn MM! That's cool man. Last time I ever saw a movie more than 2 times was Jurassic Park way back in the day (5 times). I really envy that this movie didn't have that effect on me. I might go see it again... heck if I gave Phantom Menace a 2nd chance surely Transformers deserves it too.

The last movie I went back for a 3rd viewing was Star Trek First Contact, I still love that movie. I think this might be beaten with TF now.

It gets WAY better. You get a chance the first time to just take everything in, the second time you can appreciate what you took in the first time while gaining new appreciation for things you missed the first time

Do you notice more good the second time around or more flaws?

Woah BF I have just read your review....I am shocked to say the least.

I finally saw it a second time Monday night. The theater we bought tickets to the Harkins Cinema-Capri downtown, but while we were ordering dinner, the power went out (severe t-storm)...and all was lost. But we didn't give up. We drove north to the mall and caught TF on their best screen.

I've gotta say, I was STILL getting goose bumps and watering eyes during the key moments! The theater was only about 65% full, but the effect was still there. Just not as strong.

I'm thinking my first High Definition home viewing will be special too.

Just saw it for my second time last night. It was even better than the first time around. Went with my gf again and one of my sisters who saw it with us the first time. My sister was dissapointed the first time because she got too hyped about it hearing spoilers here and there. This time she loved it, I think it's because she finally realized that people online tend to highly exagerate(sp?) and just excepted the movie for what it was. She heard morons online exagerating about the race between Bumblebee and Barricade, which wasn't really a race. As well as someone on here saying when you see the scene with Starscream in the final battle you'll be constantly saying "Oh my God!" "Oh my God!". I guess she thought there was going to be a lot more to some of the scenes the first time going in.

It gets better and better. Well I have seen it 2 times now and the 2nd time, the audience was sooooooo excited and everybody was really into the movie. Laughing a lot, clapping and screaming at certain points. That all made the whole movie experience grrreat The 2nd time I got the chance to check all the great moments again and pay more attention. I really like the story, it doesn't get borred with me. I get so excited everytime something great is going to happen. Like all the battles and transformations ect. I just love this movie so much

The last movie I went back for a 3rd viewing was Star Trek First Contact, I still love that movie. I think this might be beaten with TF now.

That movie did getter better for me as a *film* with repeated viewings. But I still hate how it changed Star Trek canon just for sensationalism's sake (a Borg "queen," um, that was totally against Roddenberry's vision of the Borg and a serious "dumbing down".... don't even get me started on Vulcans being human's official first contact which was never mentioned in the entire 30 years before that).

BTW... I'm gonna see TF later this week again. Thinking back at all the stuff that I did like the first time around... I actually can't wait.

 

[Grievous]

idk I have only seen it once.

 

[tekken]

i saw it 3 times. it was better the second time around. but by the third time, i already knew everything. by then, i was just waiting for the awesome transforming scenes, battles, explosions, etc.

so i think after 2 times, u should just stop. but hey, if u wanna waste money, go for it. i want the movie to succeed! lol.

 

[mMark]

oh yea.

 

[Ravsuh]

I saw it 7 times. it gets better each time I see it. Its already a classic in my books.

 

[The Dude]

It was just as good if not better when I saw it for the second time.

 

[The Shredder]

The film is still very good upon a second viewing, but not quite up there with the first. Atleast in my experience. With the second viewing, I felt there was certainly some scenes that ran a little long. The parents/Autobots hiding outside of the house scene comes to mind. But other than this and a few other scenes, I cant say my second viewing experience was much different to be perfectly honest.

 

[Seraphartman]

I have been to see it twice already.
During one time my grandfather actually came with me and he has'nt been to a movie in who knows how long.
When we got out of the theater he said that he was amazed at how far animatronics had come with the giant robots and that they did not even use a lot of CGI in it.
We just kind of looked at him.
We did not want to ruin the experinece for him and he loved the movie.

I have seen it three times and it gets better and better. Planning on seeing it this weekend again t:

 

[millennium movies]

I saw it for the 4th time this tuesday. The best experience was the first one but i did enjoy the movie much more the second time around. The crowd sucked on the second viewing. The 3rd viewing was alright but by the 4th one you kinda get bored. Considering the last 2 weeks all i did is watch Transformers, lol.

The crow was incredible, beyond words for the tuesday 7-2-7 premiere. The second viewing the theather sucked, at least the clapped at the end. Third viewing, the crowd barely responded and they did not clap at the end. My last viewing, the crowd was somewhere in between biewing #1 & 2, and they did clap at the end and in a few parts.

 

[Avangarde]

Overkill

 

[millennium movies]

Yes pretty much!
Im going to wait now and try and hold back from seeing it until the DVD comes out.

 

[iLLy_DNA]

I enjoyed it more with each viewing. A total of 3 now. The only thing that is a flat out drawback of watching the movie is the hackers storyline. I fell asleep during those parts the first time i watched it and they dont get any easier to sit through. I think the comedy is delivered well enough by Shia that it holds up to repeat viewing. And the robots parts need repeat viewings just to take in the visuals. There are definitely things I caught the second and third time around that I didn't get the first.


There are some very iconic images in this movie that I can watch quite regularly. Cant wait to get the DVD so I can rewind and fastforward.

 

[Kap]

Seeing HP tomorrow with my brother, I'm concidering catching a TF showing after. He hasn't seen TF yet and I wouldn't mind a second one

 

[swifty]

I really can't stand the slow parts and that dumb sector 7 guy with repeat viewings, I love the action scenes no matter how many times I see it.

 

[Chris B]

I went to my second viewing today and it only got better for me.

 

[GNR]

Seen it 3 times and it only got better.Still,Turturro's character should have been toned down a notch.

 

[TheShadowCat]

I went for the second time today and I had just as much fun, if not more since this time I could pay attention to the audience's reaction as well.

I don't know why but i've seen the movie 5 times and it just holds my attention despite knowing what is going to happen. Each time i've seen it I notice something that i didn't pick up on before. I just really love this movie, and i really can't give an artistic answer or one that's crediable as to why it's one of the best films i've ever seen in my life. TF has its share holes and is not greatly written, but it's a great movie to me. Maybe becuase I loved TF so much as a kid and to see them come to life on the bigscreen and not be disappointed by the transformations, action, the Bots and the fx, is probably why i enjoy it so much.

I love the Xmen, I love Fantastic Four even more and yet the films that FOX put out just weren't up to snuff, and it's why do to my love of both of them is why i'm so hard on them, especially F4, cuase FOX just didn't get it and the creative team just didn't get in fully. I despise FOX AND I HOPE MARVEL CAN GET THEIR RITES TO ALL THEIR PROPERTIES AWAY FROM FOX! They put out a half @ssed product and expect us to JUST eat it up and then attack the fans cause we complain about things not being right. No one is looking for a perfect film, now it would be nice but I never expect one, cuase i don't think it's possiable to do it majority of the time. With that being said changes can be made to aid in adapting it to the big screen, but in FOX's case they just seem to make changes not cuase it helped the transition to screen but more so due to thinking that this isn't going to work, or this worked in this other film and so forth. I mean Doom was completly ruined and tunred into a poor man's Norman Osborne. No Galactus but some cosmic Cloud posing as him?

Most of the TF were slightly altered in appearence but it didn't affect the story and although I thought i'd hate Megatron, especially since he was designed totally different then the cartoon Megs worked out even better. He turned out to be a really good villian and thats how one is supposed to be and he turned out to be one of the best villians from the cartoon/comic universe on the big screen.

I've said before that I've haven't had this feeling since the first Matrix, which is my all time favorite film with The Abyss being 2nd, and TF is 3rd.
