voices shouldnt be a big deal... as long as prime was original is fine by me

OK, that makes sense now. Thanks.

If they do have Soundwave in the next movie, I wonder how he will transform. The whole "giant robots turning into small devices" thing won't fly like it did in the cartoon. Although, that giant cube sure mamaged to do it. Hmmm...

I'm not a fan of Transformers.. but I was taken to see the movie yesterday and enjoyed it. Though, the movie mostly made me excited for a sequel since there won't have to be so much exposition in the next film.

the thing for me is, how will they be able to do a sequel... the military know how to take them down and not sure where they can go from here

Do they really?

Not necessarily. The military had a hell of a time taking down just one.

It was okay, I have to agree with the poster above that when they came down started talking and posing, that is when the movie lost me. I didn't mind Optimus Prime speaking but everything but get off you soapbox for a second. We get it, you like humans. I don't know why. I also hated that little cartoony boom box. The new Jar Jar. I will say this: the best special effects I have ever seen and the best sound I've heard in a long time. Megan Fox is so hot in and I found it troubling that she is supposed to be 17 and I had a troubling amount of dirty thoughts every time she was on screen.

Exactly.

Well there is that but they sure didn't seem to be in any short supply of energy in this film.

Okay, that makes sense. I didn't see that there was anything there that was open - I was in the back of the theater. :(

Holly shit! Saw this movie yesterday. Best movie I have seen since 300 this year. I went in with huge expectations and it met them all and more. The comedy was not expected but it added so much more to the movie. It was a very funny movie with alot of action! You cannot beat that. Now to find time to go see it again.

"Giant Screen" was referring to the Imax theater, only the movie wasn't shot or processed for Imax. Essentially, they just projected it on the bigger screen.

I saw this on Tuesday and I loved it. We were a group of 6 and everyone had a great time. Even my fiance, who up until she saw the movie, was adament that she would hate it.

One of the best scenes IMHO was the fight between Bumblebee and Barricade when Barricade jumps through the air and transforms into the Mustang to give chase.

A few notes on the whole "Bruckheimer/Bay" angle... the score was almost identicle to any other of their movies - and the military shots were pretty stock (as far as the helicopters coming in, etc...) I kept flashing to Armageddon.

I have to say the air attack on the Scroponok was pretty awesome.

When the Autobots descended to Earth, I LOVED the little kid saying "This is WAAAY cooler than Armageddon" as he ran to the crater.

As for the comedy, cheesy dialogue, etc... that's Transformers. I'm glad they kept to the original content as much as they did.

Oh yeah, I liked John Turturro as Agent Simmons, but I thought he had kind of a mutliple personality thing going on - like totally serious a-hole one minute, and kooky researcher the next... like Brent Spiner from Independence Day mixed with Hugo Weaving from The Matrix.

I hope I get a chance to see it again, but I still have to catch up on Ratatouie and Die Hard before Potter comes out.

Absolute best reason to get this film on HD DVD or Blu-Ray! :drool:

Oh yeah and the giant robots and action... ;)

i wonder if someone can photochop daddy cool behind her

Don't worry. It's hard to see.

Now I have a few questions of my own:

Exactly what everyone needs to remember when they watch this movie. :) How might people react to the DinoBots if they take the whole "Me Grimlock..." type route?


Saw it a second time yesterday and liked it even better. Only part I didn't truly care for (guess it's okay to post spoilers) was Prime vs. Megatron. I mean I know Megatron is powerful and all but let Prime at least get in more than two offensive moves!

I disagree with this. Steve Jablonsky's score was awful and lacked that definitive Media Ventures (or Remote Control or whatever they call themselves now) style. I won't pretend that the Zimmerites have done particularly good work on these films (with the exception of Mancina's strong work on <i>Bad Boys</i>), but they've at least had some style and character. I found this to be even more generic and processed than usual and completely uninspired. I don't understand why they used him after <i>The Island</i>, which had to be the worst collaboration with Bay to date.

I actually liked the score but I will say that I found it incredibly derivative. It was enjoyable but none too original. I was expecting more, however, given the eerie music from the teaser.

I hate to ask this, in part because you don't look for logic in a film like this, and because it seems so incredibly stupid that I feel I must have simply missed a line of dialogue, but ... why did they take the AllSpark to the city? I mean, other than the cool special effects potential, of course. Everyone seemed to think it was a great plan, not at all concerned with all the carnage that would almost certainly ensue. Did I miss something?
