santo=dorf Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Holy crap, Transformers was bad. The first 1:15:00 was nothing but campy jokes that were on a level lower than "Not another Teen Movie." Am I the only one who thinks it completely f***ing crazy to see people's natural reaction to a living cyborg be shooting the bejesus out of it with bullets? By the end of the movie it started to look like a GM commercial as I was just waiting for the "Magic Carpet Ride" music to kick in. The Camaro looks better than a C6 Corvette, but not a C5.

I don't recall the original show making masturbation jokes, or having Spike act like Richard Prior scared out of his mind. Why would you shoot metal bullets at a robot if it's the first time you ever saw it? I just wished people wouldn't have reacted like nothing was going on when a police car turns into a giant robot. Compare how the characters reacted in Jurassic park even though they knew they were going to be seeing dinosaurs. Sorry, this movie sucked hardcore. The 1986 cartoon was way better.

Meh, it's sort of like my beef with King Kong. A movie about a gigantic ape isn't realistic, but having him dancing on thin ice was just completely unbelievable. Even if its a fantasy movie, it can still make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A movie about a gigantic ape isn't realistic, but having him dancing on thin ice was just completely unbelievable. Even if its a fantasy movie, it can still make sense. the thing is, the scene he is talking about took place in some alley. The only person who saw the transformer was Sam, and he was pretty freaked out. the only scene that could be construed as a dancing ape scene was when all of the transformers were hanging around Sams house waiting for him to find the glasses, and destroying everything around the house. But like I said, i refuse to look for realism in that movie. I loved every minute of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 QUOTE(Shadows @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 02:37 AM) lolz at people who think books are better than movies I think books are more personal in that you have to picture a lot of things for yourself. Sometimes people are dissapointed when things in a film don't match how they pictured them when they read the book and that causes them to say the book was better. By they way, watched 'Once' tonight. Good film, with very good music. It's probably 60% music, so it's basically a musical and you should be prepared for that going into it.

Controlled Chaos Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 8, 2007 -> 04:11 AM) Chalk me up as another "Live Free or Die Hard" fan. Phenomenal action film. Me too!!! Probably the best of the set. On another note: Speaking of rudeness in theatres, this dude behind us kept putting his feet on the chair next to my wife. Nothing like someones bare feet next to your head.(Well he had flip flops on) Anyway, She didn't say anything to me, she just kept giving him a look when he would do it, thinking he would stop. I didn't notice cause I was pretty engrossed in the movie. Towards the end I had my arm around her chair and felt him kick the chair a couple times. I was like whatever, maybe he was just adjusting his legs. Then it happened a third time and I turned around and saw he had his feet up next to her head. So I reached over and grabbed his ankle and threw it down and he looked at me all bewildered and I looked at him like wtf you ignorant ass. No words were spoken and that was that. Movie ended about 10 minutes later and when we got up I was going to tell him what my problem was if he asked, but he pretended like he was sleeping.

NorthSideSox72 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Saw Transformers. One of the stupidest movies evar. And not good stupid, like it was a spoof or something... it was just bad, even for a Bay movie. Annoyingly so. Had a few humorous moments though, sound effects were quite kewl, and some of the CGI was pretty. But even the "action" was laughable. NSS rating: 1 star QUOTE(Shadows @ Jul 9, 2007 -> 02:37 AM) lolz at people who think books are better than movies Wow. This explains so much about the direction this country is going in.
