I agree, lots of action. My bet for TF2 to take the Summer 2009 box office crown, and Harry Potter a close second.

I Watched the movie, and personally i would give it 5/10 ... the action scenes were great, great all-round graphics and cinimetography...However the plot IMO was horrible, and the movie just felt like it kept dragging on. Was quite dissappointed to tell you the truth. At least there was some slow motion runs of Meghan Fox =P

it's a must for imax
imax version apparently has longer action sequences from what i read
additionally i've read a lot of reviews and for sure
this movie has a terrible plot
the first transformers was clearly the more "complete" movie
this one is definitely better action
but really lacks any real character development...
but that's michael bay for you
bad boys 1 was awesome
look at bad boys 2... i could've sworn the movie would've ended 45 mins before the actual ending....

i think the original transformers cartoon always had a terrible plot too... for me, transformers was no more than robots vs robots with a silly plot.
i give bay the credit for at least capturing the personality of each character quite well.
at least the movie gave me a good dose of cgi and explosions :)

There was totally an almost wardrobe malfunction in one of the scenes... too funny!!
And yes saw it last night and LOOOOOVED it. Optimus Prime is my hero. *sigh* So ya the "plot" is a little silly, but I wasn't going for the plot I was going to see ROBOTS kicking ass!!!!! And it definitely delivers.

It was an awesome movie, but I find they are trying to hard to please everyone and dragging it out. At one point I was just laughing too much that I got bored... dont get me wrong it was an awesome movie but I think they need to move past a lot of that humour.
You could sit there and go well... am I going to see Megan Fox running, some hilarious skit, or some kick ass action? It was just one after another...

As a TF fan I have questions.. Very confused at some alt modes. But all in all I enjoyed it... Heck I watched it again online!!!
Lots of references to Bay's past films, and "LEGO" icle was one of them.. HAHA
Word to the people seeing it in imax... Go middle center.. We were at the railings and So much action, we got a bit confused of the fighting... So much metal LOL
And yes ... References to humping... LOL... "I'm under him!!! under 2 Giant metal scrotums"...

Saw it in IMAX last night - full house.
I enjoyed it more than the first movie. The pacing and story was better.
Pros:
- lots of bots
- more action
- less human-focussed parts
- fight scene in the forest (IMAX)
- faster pacing
- Prime kicks ass
- Ravage's incarnation was well done
- Isabel Lucas, Megan Fox
Cons:
- too many unnamed/undeveloped bots (mostly Decepticons)
- too little screen time for most of the new "main" characters
- various plot holes (potential room for TF3)
- a few of the Decepticons were "recycled" from the first movie with no explanation if they were different bots or resurrected
- Devastator wasn't very devastating

@@@@@Possibly spoiler@@@@@@
Heres an explanation of some of these facts... It took me several times to watch the movie to understand..
Unamed Developed bots... (on tanker is the constructicons.)
Mixmaster seem to have been in two places at once... http://tformers.com/reviews.php?op=showcontent&id=1063
http://tformers.com/reviews.php?op=showcontent&id=1046
The other robots who crashed from decepticon planet was alien robot form...
Rebirth of Blackout and Barricade.
They were known as Grindor... Similar Alt mode to Blackout (if you remember, the first movie they destroyed Blackout in the warzone at the city. )
& Sideways. Barricade now an ALt mode of Audi R8
Volt, an autobot was one of the less developed characters... Noticed him when they returned to base with Optimus..

^ Well I still don't understand the "rebirth" lol.. how are they reborn?
-RJ3-
06-27-2009, 09:32 PM
LOL that would give out some part of the story,... But... Remember.. Decepticons/ autobots cAn scan any vehicle they want, so in judging the way Sideswipe runs and transforms is very similar to Barricades robot mode...
In the movie Blackout was not even called his robot mode.. They were all classified as Decepticons... I think Michael Bay missed that...

Near the end where JetFire is fighting with the Decepticon that looks like a turret. Was that Mix Master? or some other Decepticon?

Quickly sped through my copy,
You are correct he turned into a battle canon, who then later was attacked by Jetfire.
Jetfire later fought Scorponok from the first movie.
Mixmaster is the cement truck, visibly in the tanker scene, and at the landfill scene.

Love the G1 Transformers and still have the original Optimus and Jetfire in pristine condition. However, there is no way those would have translated into what the movies are today. Remember, the G1 series was always based on selling toys for Hasbro.
At least we can all agree that we're lucky that a Gobots movie was ever created! :chuckle

I saw the movie today.. it was pretty good.. Add cars, Optimus and Megan Fox and i can;t really say it was bad..
But yes, they didnt develop many charecters, and i can see they are majorly starting to stray from the cartoon..
but al in all it was good..
haha my memories are still in tact.. nothing will ever match the excitment of the G1 cartoons..
I am now re-energized about the cartoon lol.. (trying to find a box set for G1 for all seasons) haha
and i'm debating to put on one of those grill emblems of the autobots :bana2

And yes sorry some people didnt enjoy the movie, but you must watch this movie with an open mind..
As Will explains, Michael Bay wanted big effin robots.. And thats what he fulfilled.
He kept the G1 likeness of our childhood, and some of their names. But he never expected to make it exact.
IMO Michael Bay did a great job with both of these movies.
He actually got the g1 flavor kicking in the second movie, but again it was a taste of it.
If I was Michael Bay, I would have done the same thing.... I would let another director continue it, becasue Fans dont like how he protrayed the Transformers.
From looking at his past movies, Armageddon, Bad boys etc... He lived up to his name. Big bad explosions, and now he can add to his arsenal... BIG EFFIN ROBOTS!!!
I aplaud you MB!!

Actually, it was the mother that said "its like Hogwarts"! :)
Michael Bay may never win any awards but when it comes to summer blockbusters, explosions and great effects, he is one of the best out there.
There will always be fans of some thing that don't always agree with the direction of that the franchise may take. (ie Star Trek, Star Wars, etc). Oh well, you can't please everyone!

Here is my collection if you are interested (http://www.randomasrhyme.com/2009/03/02/my-transformers-collection/)

It took my entire side of my room... Ask a couple of guys here whose seen it LOL!

Speaking of collections, I have most of the Japanese Binaltech series, #1-16 plus three that came with mini anime figures. They are 1:24 scale partially die-cast model cars/bots.
Not my pics, but you get the idea:
http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/toys/series/alternators/29/
The initial run of the series included a bunch of WRXs, two Mustangs, two Rx-8s, two Jeeps, three Corvettes, an S2000, two Scion xBs, two RSXs, two Vipers, etc.
IMO Binaltech is the most realistic series available. Too bad most of the line consisted of repaints. Even the three or four recent releases are repaints.
I also have Masterpiece Prime and Magnus, had Megatron and Starscream, and hope to get Grimlock at some point.

kid_icarus
07-02-2009, 04:26 PM
watched it yesterday on imax
wasn't a big big fan...
definitely enjoyed on a "thorough" basis the first movie better.
the cgi was definitely better along with all the action
but of course all the reviews could've told you that
unfortunately i hated the twins.... they seem like a cheap replacement of the autobot that got ripped in half in the first movie (which i've already forgotten his name... was it jazz?) bad humour.... big ears... buck teeth and a gap??? we all know where bay was trying to lead that...
megan fox = hot = but had ZERO role in this go around.
at least in the first movie she played a role in the action helping bumble bee and seeming to actually "care" about survival and being more than just an errand girl with her pet chihuaha
sams' schoolmate = another useless character... too much comic relief... and useless.... as if shia himself wasn't enough.. we needed a Shia from tranformers 1 to replace the "now" matured shia...
sector 7 agent john turtoro = oh gawd what can i say about this IMMENSE overabuse of comic relief... good role.... but really does this movie need to be a comedy to this LEVEL
decepticons.... is it just me or do they keep flying in via asteroids all too often.... to be honest... the only decepticons that i could keep "real" track of were megatron... starscream... the fallen.... soundwave (cuz he was in outerspace), and ravage... cuz he was a dog.....
anyways despite all these ridiculous issues.....
the movie was mostly entertaining
my biggest issue was that it lacked any real urgency.... optimus' death was immensely downplayed and the entire emmotional punch was lost...
i remember watching the cartoon as a child and even now i can watch it
and it kills me to see optimus get smoked in the movie.....
so woopty doo
thanks michael bay for using up all your creative liberties on this movie....
as a story teller you suck though.

decepticons.... is it just me or do they keep flying in via asteroids all too often.... to be honest... the only decepticons that i could keep "real" track of were megatron... starscream... the fallen.... soundwave (cuz he was in outerspace), and ravage... cuz he was a dog.....
I've noticed that too. lol. We see the Decepticons crashing through the atmosphere a lot, maybe that's how they like to travel. But they do seem to lose pieces of metal when they re-enter the atmosphere. Only time we see something different is when Megatron flies to Cybertron.
Ravage is a CAT, unless I'm mistaken.
The final fight scene was alittle confusing to me, there were lots of robots in the fight but often it was hard to tell who was who. I had to download a copy to see the scene a couple of times over.
Also, is it jsut me or did it seem to go on for an awfully long time and then sort of abruptly end? I was like wtf??

Going to see it on Sunday. From all of the reviews I'm not going in with big expectations, but we'll see how it goes. I just want lots of action and a little bit of plot. Megan Fox is just going to be a bonus.

watched it yesterday on imax
wasn't a big big fan...
definitely enjoyed on a "thorough" basis the first movie better.
the cgi was definitely better along with all the action
but of course all the reviews could've told you that
unfortunately i hated the twins.... they seem like a cheap replacement of the autobot that got ripped in half in the first movie (which i've already forgotten his name... was it jazz?) bad humour.... big ears... buck teeth and a gap??? we all know where bay was trying to lead that...
megan fox = hot = but had ZERO role in this go around.
at least in the first movie she played a role in the action helping bumble bee and seeming to actually "care" about survival and being more than just an errand girl with her pet chihuaha
sams' schoolmate = another useless character... too much comic relief... and useless.... as if shia himself wasn't enough.. we needed a Shia from tranformers 1 to replace the "now" matured shia...
sector 7 agent john turtoro = oh gawd what can i say about this IMMENSE overabuse of comic relief... good role.... but really does this movie need to be a comedy to this LEVEL
decepticons.... is it just me or do they keep flying in via asteroids all too often.... to be honest... the only decepticons that i could keep "real" track of were megatron... starscream... the fallen.... soundwave (cuz he was in outerspace), and ravage... cuz he was a dog.....
