Transformers What did you hate about this movie?

[NinjaGye]

NOTHING!!! just mildly disliked John Torturro

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

Jazz's death. thats bout it.

that was pretty bad....i was like wtf!....ah well

 

[ShadowBoxing]

it was a lil cluttered in a bunch of scenes....and sometimes the robot voices annoyed me...thats pretty much it

Boy, Ironhide kind of annoyed me in voice. Ratchet's was more or less bland, not annoying though. But Ironhide. Maybe because I expect Captain Hero to come out (the guy who voiced him voiced CH from Drawn Together), but I just found it somewhat annoying and not really a great voice for a battled hardened, trigger happy, weapons specialist.

that was pretty bad....i was like wtf!....ah well

yeah me too! it seemed unnecisary.

 

[Spider-Bat]

Everything.

Jazz ebing all gangsta, the beeyotch line.

All the schtick with anothony anderson and shia lebouf.

Autobots acting like Bafoons!

Prime saying, My Bad.

Prime opening up his mouth plate to reveal his mouth when he spoke.

The dumb faces they gave them.

The cheesy crap wuith bumblebee playing those lame love songs to help shia get the girl.

not enough of the Transformers. Was more a Shia lebouf movie then anything.

It was a comedy, nothing more. I think Smumacher directed it and didn't say anything.

Didn't have any action really and what they did do was crap, cheap crap.

No decepticons till 15 min. be-4 the end.

Useless and pointless characters, some that seemed to be forgotten and didn't need to be in it.

Frenzy was lame as hell.

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

LAST THING I HATED.....
that my car cant be a *****in transformer

 

[Lando81]

^hahahaha yeah. i came out of the movie and i got a smile on my face everytime i passed a bug or a semi truck.

Yeah...ummm what movie did you watch exactly. Did you take an extended 111 minute piss and then come back into the film.

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

^hahahaha yeah. i came out of the movie and i got a smile on my face everytime i passed a bug or a semi truck.

dude i looked at my car(i just got my first car 3 days ago)...and instead of being excited...i tried to get it to transform.....when i finally relized it wouldnt work...i teared up a lil

 

[Jinnobi]

I didn't really hate anything. I had a hard time discerning a few of the fight scenes. Couldn't really tell what was going on. It all kinda ran together. I wish that I would have remembered more about Transformers before I went to see it.

 

[Lando81]

Geez, some of those aren't even true. ALOT of those aren't even major problems, and are nothing but fanboy complaints. And again, watch the G1 toon and see Jazz. It's nothing really different from the source material.

 

[dancing_on_fire]

Jazz's death. thats bout it.

Jazz's death was the only thing that ruined it for me, everything else was good, should he have been spared and i probablly would of given the film full stars but killing off someone like him was a really bad decision, i was expecting ironhide or ratchet to die, but jazz was a really bad mistake on the writers part, i just hope he returns otherwise i wont look as forward to the sequal unless wheeljack is in it.

Not to mention Prime has had a mouth for 15 years now, and on top of that his face plate was even removable in G1, it's just rare we ever saw him take it off.

i agree on that

LOL

Even tho Jazz was a steroetypical role, man, he had the most energy and spunk to him, know what I mean? He had a kind of quality no other transformers had, know what I mean? Like brotha type, like yo nikka type relationship, know what I mean? The following is from a different board, and shows exactly why Jazz was killed.

A$$HOLE 1: "Yeah so *sigh* we gotta have one godamn minority robot. You know, to sell tickets."

A$$HOLE 2: "Jazz anyone?"

A$$HOLE 3: "Oh yeah, that annoying prick. It fits."

A$$HOLE 2: "Two birds, one stone, fellas. We make him black."

A$$HOLE 1: "Oh yeah, definitely black."

A$$HOLE 3: "Isn't that guy McCrary looking a job?"

A$$HOLE 1: "Mc-who?"

A$$HOLE 3: "You know, the yo from that old stupid Family Matters show."

A$$HOLE 1: "Oh yeaaaahhhh. We can let him do the voice. Have him throw around that ridiculous slang these punks like to use these days."

A$$HOLE 2: "Sound funny to me. Then we save a hell of a lot of money for not having to throw in other fodder autobots to kill."

A$$HOLE 3: "Lynch time, baby."

A$$HOLE 2: "Hahaha. You're going to hell."

A$$HOLE 3: "I'm going to the bank is where I'm going. Let's get to work on a draft. Kick this idea into play. Somebody call McCrary's agent."

That's the stupidiest thing I've ever heard. Jazz always spoke in slang, and robots cannot be black...they are incapable of having race.

And your arguement kinda falls apart when you realize all the real black people, Tyrese, Anderson and Mac...didn't die...actually they didn't even get hurt.

Please stop playing the race card here...it's pathetic. You could do it with any movie.

"Why aren't there any black people in Spider-Man...the only black man is an assisstant to the white boss of a newspaper - racist!"

"Harry Potter hasn't got any black people friends at Hogwarts - racist"

"Shrek III made the Donkey voiced by a black man, are you saying black men are asses"

C'mon the real problem here is that Jazz - a beloved Transformer died. What were they suppose to do, not make him talk in slang. Fanboys would've complained if they did that. Everyone would have said "hey that movie's racist, they made Jazz not talk in jive and gangsta slang - they made all the Autobots act white"

 

[AgentPat]

"Hate" is WAY too strong a word 'cause really, I didn't "hate" anything about this film. That said, Rachael Taylor's accent bugged me (seemed overly fake, even if it wasn't), and the battle scenes between bots was a little confusing in that it wasn't always easy to see who was who. Unlike most long-time fans, I'm about as "casual" a viewer as you'll find. I didn't play with the toys when I was a kid, and never saw the cartoon. All I know is what I saw in the film.

Yeah, I probably shouldn't admit that, but I really REALLY loved the pic, so I'm hoping that buys me some cred LOL.

Even if you never caught the original G1 toon (I didn't either, but I did my research and watched alot of episodes), God forbid you missed out in the 90's with Beast Wars!

Fantastic post.

Beast Wars owned.

Was Beast Wars a carbon copy of Transformers or something? Because that gorilla's name was Optimus Prime also. He wasn't a truck. hmmm..

Beast Wars would've been harder to translate on live screen, but it would've been cool though, like Jurassic Park mixed with A.I.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

I liked the movie, but there was still a couple of things that annoyed me.

-The Soundtrack. The cheesy 80s music from the cartoon movie was far more fitting (and better in general).

-Too many characters. Not the robots, but the humans. Sam and his family have their purpose as does the Secretary of Defence and the Section 7 guys, but the hackers and soldiers get a lot more screentime than they deserve and only hurt the film.

-Starscream's voice. In the original show, Starscream's voice was the most unique of all of the characters and really made you notice him even when (such as in this film) he didn't really do much otherwise. I know Latta's been dead for over a decade, but they could have least made an attempt to sound like him.

 

[Boiiinng]

The biggest problem I have is the writing...

I hate Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman as theatrical storytellers.

I realize this for sure now after looking over their resume.

I love M:I and M:I:II. I hate M:I:III. They wrote M:I:III.

I love Mask of Zorro. I hate Legend of Zorro. They wrote Legend of Zorro.

I love the Island. They did not write The Island. They adapted a story by Caspian Tredwell-Owen, who also helped screenplay the movie with them. Hmmm...

I love ALIAS and I always enjoyed Hercules and Xena. They wrote all three.

I am surprised they have made it this far in Hollywood. They are good at TV, where they have time for multiple episodes to weave their stories. But they fall short when trying to write something that has to work within the confines of a couple of hours.

If they had only asked Simon Furman for help......

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

I noticed the cast felt a little too "ensemble" for my tastes. That certainly helps to explain why.

No, it was supposed to be set long after Transformers.

For instance his name was Optimus Primal. Megatron was not the original. Etc.

 

[Warhammer]

Yeah, Beast Wars is in the same continuity as G1 Transformers.
I bet ShadowBoxing could explain it more better than I can.
