Transformers The Reviews Thread

[spideyo]

So I have a new review, its from me -- I just got back from seeing the Hasbro Charity premiere here in RI. The whole thing was a blast -- set up was great, open bar, and I got to meet Tyrese and Rachel Taylor!!

The movie itself, I have to say was the best thing I've seen in a while. The actors were great, the filming/CGI was done amazingly (OMG THE TRANSFORMATIONS ROCKED!!!). The action was superb, with a nice mix of humor thrown in -- excellent movie in my opinion, only a few minor cons to the movie, but Id totally give it a 9 out of 10.

For those wondering, I'm not going to spoil anything -- so if you want to know something, just send me a PM.

Can't wait to see it again when it officially comes out!

That's cool you liked it. It's good to see a review again. Everyone here is talking about other issues besides reviews. lol. Oh well. A lot of reviews should be coming in soon .

 

[Mr. Socko]

I'm gradually getting more excited each day, and these reviews are helping

 

[Bapman]

Oh yeah before I forget...[Once I tell you... all of you will scream how can I EVEN forget this]
Unlike the early script... Starscream is not the only decepticon to be alive.
There are 2 other characters who did not die but infact were not even shown.
The movie felt like a lot of the scenes were cut out.
Well... here's to hoping for a 20 - 30 mins longer extended version
This movie was feakin 2 n half hours n felt like a 90 min short movie.

My review
Saw the film yesterday in Australia, have to say, it is definitely one of the best films this year, 8 out of 10. I found this film to be a great science fiction/comic book movie, I can safely say it is much more entertaining than any of the previous blockbusters that have come out this year such as Spider-man 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and Shrek 3 but I felt it still lacked things other people are going to agree with.


So here’s my quick rundown:


The good:
·[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]The films story telling is amazing, you never once feel like the story is dragging on, or boring, it really keeps you entertained and satisfied.
·[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]The acting is terrific by some, I absolutely enjoyed listening to some of the funniest calls made by some of the human characters, Shia definitely steals the film with his wit and humour and never leaves you unsatisfied. I found Megan Fox as hot as ever and was quite a good actress, though her acting began to decline towards the climax of the film and I didn’t find it too convincing, she pulls a Jessica Alba in one scene.
·[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]The Autobot’s were fantastic to watch, they absolutely kill in this film, and they were entertaining to watch when the fights broke out with the Decepticon’s. I thought they were incredible and really well designed.
·[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]The Decepticon’s in my opinion stole the film, they were more entertaining and had a better story to bring to the film, and I felt they were the highlight of the film.
·[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]Hugo Weaving was superb as Megatron, you will not even recognize him, it took me a while to realize it was him and I felt he did the best job voicing his character over everyone else.
·[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]The special effects were awesome; it was great watching the transformations and fights. The detail was really good and the destruction caused by the transformers looked so incredible, that it was hard to believe they pulled all of it off with CGI.

The Bad:
·[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]The dialog for the transformers was in my opinion very bad, it was too immature and it felt like Tim Story from Fantastic Four 2 came along and wrote them up himself. It felt to me that the Autobot’s were mildly ******ed, whether this was intentional to show how their translation from Cybertronian to English isn’t very good, to make it more realistic or the writers were just bad at writing dialog and weren’t sure how the Autobots would talk to one another.
·[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]The Decepticon’s were much better in dialog, which doesn’t say much, they showed more maturity in their dialog and were easily taken more seriously, sad enough as I was cheering for the autobot’s the whole time and expected them to be the more serious of the two races.
·[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]Only three of the Decepticon’s ever really speak; Megatron, Starscream and Barricade have actual dialog, the rest speak in Cybertronian in one scene of the film, and Frenzy swears quite a bit which I actually found amusing.
·[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]The most under used Autobot had to be Jazz, he makes little appearances and I wasn’t pleased with him one bit being a fan of the character in the cartoon series. He only speaks 3 or 4 times in the film, but had the most mature dialog out of the Autobots showing the most compassion to his follow Autobots.

·[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]Brawl is the most underused Decepticon, he only says one thing, and appears twice in the film and that’s about it for him, you will barely notice he was even there the whole time.
·[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]Frenzy had to be the weirdest transformer, some of the scenes he’s in left me saying to myself wtf, as he does some awkward things when hacking through computers.

·[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]Certain scenes with the transformers were hard to intemperate; so much detail made it hard for me to understand what was happening and what the Autobot’s were doing in the fight scenes.
·[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]A lot of the action is rushed and frustrating to follow and was quickly done so it was kind of like Ghost Rider for some scenes, which left them pointless.
·[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]Hardly any references to G1, I only counted about 3, so many of you who expected it to have good references, I’m afraid it doesn’t.


Over all, don’t take my criticism to heart, it is nothing compared to the good in the film. I recommend seeing this film; it is worth seeing and really enjoying! It has become one of my favourite films of all times and I can’t wait to see it again!

Same here. I'm wondering what the final Tomatometer rating at Rotten Tomatoes will be. So far there hasn't been any negative reviews from the critics:

I dunno. I thought it was the "bean counter." It's been a while. The guy who runs into the outhouse--- that scene. t:

Donald Gennaro who ironically enough has a pretty much completely different characterization in the book, but that's a whole different subject then transformers.

[nosebleed.]

After a tedious wait I have finally viewed The Transformers and my initial thought is “Not to shabby”. To start off it doesn’t come as a surprise that this is your typical popcorn film, full of action, explosions, cringe comedy, paper thin romance, and more explosions, just what you have come to expect from a Michael Bay movie. I made sure to check my brain in at the door as I was sure I wouldn’t be needing it, nothing to complicated that would require thought, and I must admit it did help me to enjoy the experience. I was able to zone out and relax (as much as I could due to the fact I got crappy seats) to view some pretty cool eye candy, although it mostly is just eye candy. This does not mean it’s a bad movie. On the contrary it’s probably one of the better Bay movies ever made (if that says anything).

From the aspect of a long time fan of Transformers, my beloved robots got more attention then I originally thought, however a lot of them were still cannon fodder. The only transformers that get any form of development are Bumblebee and Optimus Prime. Bumblebee will be the crowd favorite, he’s plays pretty much the same sort of roll as ET or R2D2 from Star Wars plays, the companion type. Optimus Prime is given some good character, still the strong leader of the Autobots just as he has always been portrayed however, there are times when he seems like a bumbling fool, but he eventually becomes the Prime we all love, especially when he is kicking Decepticon ass. The other Autobots, Ironhide, Jazz, and Ratchet don’t get much development but there personalities do seem intact from there Generation One counterparts, there is some small banter between them which will make the TF fans happy, more then I first thought (Ironhide to Sam: “Aww I just wanted to show him my cannon’s” lol ). [blackout]Jazz having such a deep voice was a little off-putting to me. If anyone can remember from the animated movie the scene where Kup catches Blitzwing buy the turret and swings on him, Jazz does this to Devastator with some cool trash talk, very nice [/blackout]. Depending if you have followed all the hype with the prequel stories may change you perception of the Decepticons. The movie depicts most of them as mindless killing machines. Megatron is the only one that has some form of character, even then he’s just a warlord looking for a magical cube. It would probably help to have read the prequel comics and/or novel to establish character. There is some nice trash talk between the Auto and Decepts during the last battle, but be warned: it happens so fast at times it’s hard to understand what they are saying ([blackout]Jazz is the biggest trash talker of the TF’s[/blackout]). Despite all this they are all visually stunning, and fun to watch in action.

The cast for the movie isn’t to bad, Shia LaBeouf plays a very likable character, he does a great job in making you thinking the transformers are real through his interaction with them, his comedy at times is corny, probably could have cut out a couple extra jokes in there. Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson play the typical military hero but do a good job of it, very little development. Megan Fox is just there for the boys, not much else, a female lead with no personality (not good). Most people should get a laugh from Bernie Mack. The music score in Transformers is excellent, IMO Steve Jablonski has delivered one of his best scores yet. Each track sets the right mood and theme, from the light-hearted comical scenes to the full-blown destructive battle scenes, very epic indeed, there were a couple of modern rock tunes in there but nothing to bad. Now the visuals, OMG I can’t stop going on about the visuals of this movie. They flawless, you really think the transformers are real. Industrial Light and Magic have truly outdone them selves with their best work yet, they really make the transformations for each robot work. The end battle is orgasmic, although everything happens so fast you will miss some stuff.

All in all The Transformers is a fun movie to watch, the plot it pretty basic, most of the cast is likable, the music score is great, and the visuals are perfect. As a hardcore fan of the transformers it is a nice addition to the franchise, however there is a lot of missed potential. Perhaps a sequel will be somewhat closer to what the fans really want. I will see this movie again. There is heaps more to either praise or b****h about, but this will come in due time. (Looking forward to B_F and Cflash’s review lol)

Pretty decent review Avan. Lots to look forward to from the looks of it. Are you going to see it more than once?

I guess all that dumpster diving in rusty syringes worked out!

 

[Cth]

Currently writing my review which will hopefully go up on the website tomorrow.. I'll post it here and list the differences from the novel and the film once I get to work tomorrow

 

[Grievous]

I can't wait to see this movie.

I will be seeing this movie again, so much happens in the last fight you are bound to miss stuff. After the crappy seats I had (right at the front) my back feels like its been dumpster diving.

 

[GDM]

Just a little update. There are currently 5 positive reviews at rottentomatoes and the unofficial tomatometer is at 100%. Pretty cool if you ask me.

 

[Avangarde]

It will change

 

[DocLathropBrown]

Until I see a good review from somebody I know to be a diehard G1 purist, I'll remain uneasy.

 

[Disclaimer]

Transformers the franchise has legs enough. I mean look at TFTM, that movie is literally a loud, obnoxious, plot hole ridden, "stupid but I like it" that tanked at the BO and has become a cult classic today because of shows like Beast Wars and UT revitalizing interest in the franchise.

I know I said I was bored and implied I'd be leaving the discussion but... meh... I'm like a dog with a bone sometimes.

You know, it's funny. I honestly think the animated 'Transformers' film had a far more solid story and little plot points that threaded together nicely.

To me, it has nothing to do with initial reception and - to be completely honest - I don't mind if a story is simple.

Simple doesn't equal bad.

'X-Men' had a relatively simple story. As did 'Star Wars' and 'ET'.

The problems come when a story is lame in that roll-your-eyes, convoluted kind of way.

You can have simplicity without stupidity... which is what I'd actually hoped for.

Any little seeds for future films could have been nicely planted so that if you want to see them, you can, but... if not... you don't have to.

Instead, the writers put in a whole film-load of mythology that's downright frustrating and - as I've said before - goes against all they were saying about making this more real.

Again, I draw attention to 'Terminator 2', 'Terminator 3' and 'The Matrix' - films that dealt with artificial intelligence, robotics and the element of disguise (particularly the T-X's combination of machine and liquid metal) in way the audience can completely buy in to. The film didn't need to be as complicated as those films but surely they could have taken the same ideals into account for those in the audience who wanted to truly believe in the story.

I agree. Can you imagine History of Violence... or Children of Men directed by Michael Bay?

How about X-Men? Whoever doesn't think Michael Bay would not have ripped out the "alienation/prejudice" undertones and substituted a magical thingamabob or precious diamond as the central plot device as well as made The Brotherhood a "cool" badass gang of bank robbers (and nothing more) is crazy.

I agree. This was an amazing film and probably the best I have seen in a number of years. Here are a few of my other gripes

• Aussie actress is a terrible nerd
• Brawl is know as Devastator
• The Batman Signal?
• Some fight scenes although cool move to fast to really see whats goin on

Other than that, 9.5/10!!!!!

 

[blind_fury]

I agree. Can you imagine History of Violence... or Children of Men directed by Michael Bay?

What if Tim Burton made a shallow version of Planet of the Apes?

Thank God we have the 1968 classic to see that the premise had more to offer than "monkeys fighting".

What a letdown. Hope you get "lucky" tomorrow.

This is a great and exciting time, my fellow Transformers fans.
Feels great to read about everyone geeking out. Makes me feel like a kid again.

I hope you all enjoy the movie, even if it isn't something you always envisioned.

Transformers are back, baby!

 

[spideyo]

Here's another cool review:

http://www.cinemablend.com/reviews/Transformers-2362.html

4.5/5

There are two ways to review this movie. The right way is to look at it objectively, examining how the film is put together and picking apart the script by pointing out the gaping logical gaps present in it. I’ll be reviewing the film the wrong way, as a man who was once a little boy crying because Optimus Prime was dead. Now whatever is left of that kid inside me has had a wakeup call. The movie he’s been waiting twenty years to see is finally here; Optimus Prime is back from the grave and he needs my help.

Transformers director Michael Bay has done the impossible. He’s created a wholly modern, action extravaganza while staying completely true to all the things that have ever been good about the Transformers. Alright maybe Optimus Prime didn’t need to have flames painted on him, but that’s such a minor detail in a movie with characters that are quite literally so big. Otherwise, Transformers is so much like the 80s cartoon many of us loved that it nearly forgets to be cinematic and becomes almost silly. Transformers is astoundingly goofy, but it knows it’s goofy and simply doesn’t care, which is why Bay’s film is so much giant freakin robot fun. There’s no attempt to be serious. That’s not to say the movie doesn’t try to be as real as it can be, after all the goal here is to take giant transforming robots and put them believably in our world. It attempts to seem real, but never at the expense of the essence of what the Transformers have always been. Because of that, Transformers isn’t just dorky, it’s gloriously dorky. The film absolutely revels in how completely looney this premise is, and is all the better for it.

Transformers wastes no time getting right to the incredible robot action we’re all hungering for, and rushes directly from the credits to eye-popping, rampant robot destruction. What really holds the film together though is that even when it’s knee deep in save the world, all out, brawling in the streets, giant freakin robot war, at the core of everything is the simple story of a boy and his first car. For a man, there are few things more powerful than the relationship he has with his first automobile, and it’s no different for Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf).

Once Bay wisely satiates our lust for effects sequences, he gets right to the heart of his story by taking us along with Sam and his dad as they go car shopping. Sam has worked and saved to afford a car, and is disappointed to discover that he can’t afford any better than a clunker. However, his clunker is no ordinary POS, it’s more than meets the eye. Sam’s relationship with his car, the Autobot Bumblebee is what connects this movie to the audience. The film takes the same formula that has worked so well in other car movies, and applies it to Sam and Bumbelee. In many ways, Bumblebee ends up being a lot like Herbie the Love Bug crossed with shades of Steven Spielberg’s E.T.. Sam develops a strong attachment to his beat up little Camaro, long before he discovers it’s more than four tires and a radio. When he does, because of an old war injury Bumblebee can only speak using beeps and by changing radio stations. That too works wonderfully, only deepening their relationship as Bumblebee stands up to protect Sam and the two struggle to communicate with one another. Sam’s relationship with his car is brilliantly written, even better directed, and it’s the super glue that holds this gigantic summer blockbuster tightly together when things go mad in a flurry of one-liners and special effects.

Because this is a Michael Bay film, Transformers mixes in the parallel storylines of other characters embroiled in Earth’s sudden alien robot problem. The film cuts between stories, one minute we’re following Sam as his car gets him caught up in a battle that’s way over his head, the next it’s a group of government geeks trying to decode a strange alien signal, the next a group of soldiers under attack from an unknown and evil, alien force of mechanical beings with the ability to disguise themselves as everyday items. Eventually everything collides together and the film’s three separate factions join up with the Autobots, an alien robot force for good, to kick some Decepticon butt. Still, the film is smart enough to ensure thatl Sam’s story remains at the center and heart of the film no matter how big it gets.

Just because this is a movie about a boy and his car doesn’t mean it skimps on robot action. In that way, the film plays out almost exactly like the old cartoon series. Sam, for all intents and purposes is just like the humans in the cartoon, a guy who befriends a group of alien beings known as Autobots and helps them fight the good fight against their enemies the Decepticons. One the film gets going there’s barely a frame that doesn’t have some sort of Transformer in it. That might seem like a given, but so many movies of this ilk end up going cheap on the big effects pieces, either to save on budget or in some misguided attempt to heighten the reality of what’s happening. Transformers says screw that and gives you Optimus Prime and his friends hanging out, talking, and fighting the good fight to defend mankind. Occasionally fight sequences suffer but Transformers knows you’re here to see robots thrash the hell out of each other and never shies away from laying that on thick. Bay shows his robots in perfect hero poses with blinding sunlight streaming over their shoulders and Optimus talks about loyalty, duty, and freedom like he’s just stepped off an Autobot recruiting poster. In another movie it would be ridiculous, in Transformers it’s the sort of thing you’ll feel welling up in the pit of your stomach.

If there’s any problem with the film, it’s that at 140 minutes it runs slightly long. I’m not proposing that they should have cut back on robots, but some of the movie’s more irrelevant moments involving characters other than Sam could have been truncated without much negative impact. That’s not to say they aren’t entertaining, when the movie’s not wowing you with spectacle it’s pretty good at being flat out funny. At 140 minutes though, Bay could have dropped a few things. Jon Voight has far too many lines, Anthony Anderson seems to serve no real purpose, and though John Turturro is hilarious as the head of a secret government organization, it wouldn’t have hurt the film to have less of him.

Minor length issues aside, Transformers is a truly great summer blockbuster. As an action movie it’s a huge success; with awe-inspiring effects, tremendous set pieces, a sexy style, and jaw-dropping things which you have absolutely never seen before in any other movie. As a nostalgia trip for the kids who were sitting next to me in 1986 the last time these characters were in theaters, it’s an even bigger hit. Like many old school Transformers fans I was incredibly skeptical about what Bay was doing. Much of the early information leaked out about the film just didn’t seem right. We were wrong to doubt. For you adults and the kid inside who was there back in the 80s cheering Prime on, this movie is like a rallying cry to your inner child. You’ll want to leap through the screen to stand at Optimus Prime’s side to fight the good fight against Megatron. For your kids, to whom the Transformers are now entirely new, this will be without a doubt the greatest movie they have ever seen. Don’t let them miss it

We are at 90 right now at Metacritic:

[Disclaimer]

Oh, by the way... I've been meaning to mention it a number of times... but I just wanted to say how funny it is that people were up in arms about Megatron and Prime being 'brothers' in this film.

For those wondering, it's not explicitly stated in such a way as to say they're SIBLINGS... just that they were once 'brothers'. You know, like 'brothers in arms'... 'mates'... 'compatriots'... 'colleagues'.

Well, at least that's how it came across to me.

Speaking of which... it kind of begs the question why the decepticons look evil, to the point Megatron's teeth look like they were borrowed from a t-rex or something.

If I were to turn evil tomorrow, would my face become all mean-lookin' too?

Just wondering.

We are at 90 right now at Metacritic:

http://www.metacritic.com/film/titles/transformers

Um... not to be a party-pooper... but there are only two reviews making up that score.

Get back to me in a week, when RottenTomatoes.com has a score (no doubt a 'Certified Fresh', near 100% rating... but anyhoo...)
