Transformers The Reviews Thread

[Avangarde]

Hey Avangarde..i called the Jazz/Devastor(Brawl) torrent move from the TF movie a month ago!

Glad the score was great though. That can usually make or break a good movie.

[BLACKOUT]Yeah that part was really well done IMO, its when the final battle starts and all the autobots start there attack. Jazz leaps at Devastator saying something like "You aint go'in nowhere decepticon"[/BLACKOUT]

 

[Avangarde]

One more question: The classic transforming sound. There or not?

[BLACKOUT]Sometimes, but not for all the transformations.[/BLACKOUT]

How does Brawl/Devastor look? Impressive or shabby? Reason i asked is because no reviews mention him, considering he's being poorly promoted....

 

[Avangarde]

I LOVED THAT SCENE

Spoiler

STARSCREAM YOU HAVE FAILED ME YET AGAIN....

AND ITS A NICE CLOSEUP TO MEGATRONS FACE

[BLACKOUT]
Starscream did kick all kinds of ass in this movie, he would zoom in, make an attack and retreat to start another form of attack. That first attack from him was uber cool. I love how Ironhide yells "IT'S STARSCREAAAAAM"
[/BLACKOUT]

[BLACKOUT]He is the main attacker for the decpt's on the ground so he gets beaten around a bit by Jazz, Ironhide, and Ratchet. He does say something but it was hard to hear due to all the explosions, he looks pretty cool though.[/BLACKOUT]

[BLACKOUT]Poor Devastor is gang banged by Jazz, Ironhide, Ratchet and Bumblebee [/BLACKOUT]

[BLACKOUT]OMG I just realised another Decpt must have survived because his death wasn't shown, unless it was cut. Barricade.[/BLACKOUT]

 

[SoniZero]

Hey Avangarde, I keep hearing that Bumblebee gets the most screen time and is a "fan favorite" but is he a good fighter? Does he kick ass or is he one of the weaker Autobots in terms of fighting?

[BLACKOUT]He messes up Barricade bigtime and kills Devastator, I'd say thats a pretty darn good effort.[/BLACKOUT]

Goddamn that movie was awesome
If there is one word that you can use , describing Transformers it's RAPE.
Blackout raping the airforce base in the beginning , Optimus Prime raping Bonecrusher and Megs raping pretty much everyone .
What i loved about movies is when you're immediatly drawn into the movie. And as all you of you know , that scene is the airforce attack.
After months seeing shots of that scene in trailers , it was so awesome seeing in without any cuts.
The classic transformers sound just sealed the deal.

I was a bit bummed that you only hear the classic transformers sound there , one time only. But that was a minor complaint.
And also the little boombox TF seems annoying at first until it hit me that all these robots have personalities.
Also all the decepticons seem pissed. Every one of them Not that's it's a complaint.

Still THIS movie truly is popcorn entertaiment at it's best ( unlike DIE Hard ). Great action scenes that are done well ( you hear that SInger , this is what's lacking in SR). MEgatron is as badass as ever and Optimus Prime truly is a nobel robot.


FInal rating 9.5/10

cool!

Can't help asking questions bud; how is the arctic 'ice man' scene handled? And do you think it's move from the beginning was for the better or for worse?

 

[Avangarde]

[BLACKOUT]Yeah what's up with that? Frenzy seemed the most pissed, did you see how he started to bang his head on the computer screen because he got cut off? I was like WTF?[/BLACKOUT]

 

[Avangarde]

[BLACKOUT]The scene itself was handled quite well. However the new start with OP explaining things was a bit more welcoming IMO.[/BLACKOUT]

So do we see the Decepticon logo on Meg's chest as Spike's Grandpapy hacks away at the ice..?

[BLACKOUT]This is weird. Barricade appeared in the high way chase, but suddenly he...somehow vanished and not to be seen again[/BLACKOUT]

Yeah that stuck me as odd, and he was pointed out by Sam as well.

Exactly.
I guess it's because they need to have some personality or whatever

But man oh man is this a Michael Bay movie
The slomo poses , especially the shot of Optimus driving towards the city and transforming intho Battle movie.t:
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and i truly hope that this becomes the highest grossing flick of 2007 .

 

[Avangarde]

Well I'll be seeing it again, so they got my money

 

[Golgo-13]

Is the classic Michael Bay hero-slo-mo pose in there?

 

[Avangarde]

Naturally

 

[Avangarde]

Actually it happens a couple of times, for both humans and autobots.

Spoiler

Nope you don't see it.
The scene is split into two parts.
First up is when Sam talks about his ancentry early in the movie. They introduce who Archibald Witwicky is and they show him along with his men hacking into the ice. The scene goes back to sam who tells his class that his granddad went nuts.

Later on it was ( i think) Optimus Prime who tells Sam what happened.
The team of archibald has a dog. As one of the dogs runs away archibald and his team chase after the dog. The run onto thin ice and ít breaks under archibald. He lands right in Megs hand and sees his face.
It's there that he actives the locater and the location of the all spark blinds him.
