Saw "Transformers" last night...
Chris G:
For some reason this movie felt like Armageddon meets X-Men. That's not necessarily a bad thing. I was a big Transformers fan as a kid and had high hopes, but I thought it was just good, not great. Probably partly because everyone has built it up so much. Definitely worth seeing on the big screen if you have any interest, though.

I thought the same way when the designs first came out. But they've really grown on me.
They are NOT G1 style.

Thats the very same reason I wasn't going to go at all, but both of my brothers wanted to go opening night and I'll agree that it was pretty good.
Did any one else notice that Optimus was voiced by the original cartoon Optimus? Thought that was cool. That and that they had the cube as the central plot element, because wasn't G1 all about the decepticons just building that same cube? Some were upset that the bug was taken out for the camaro, but I kinda liked the camaro better anyways.
I didn't like that Megatron didn't turn into a gun (because I always thought that was awesome irony that the most evil decepticon has to have someone else fire him), though it was cool when he put his hands together and fired like his gun form.
The original Transformers show is going to see a huge boost in revival sales in Boxsets and such I trust as well. So, even with the occassional straying from the original and short-comming from what we would have liked, there was still an aweful lot to like.

if you remember when the kid was in the car lot buying the car bernie mac was going to sell him a bug but bumblebee bashed it.
it would have been better if i had made it. though i did enjoy the line "One shall stand one shall fall" it was missing youve got the touch when megatron and prime fought. and for some reason people in the theater i saw it at laughed at the lamest things.
i want to agree about the increased sales but i dont think it will happen. kids are going to see this and want the newer figures not the classic ones (aka better ones) though the prime helmet looks awesome.
boxsets probably will do well.
michael bay is stupid. there were several plot holes and he even breaks his rule of making the robots physically capable of transforming. i agree it was a good movie but not great and when they make the next one i cant wait to see how they dig themselves out of the pit they buried the story in.

Heh, if he wanted to truly be accurate on their transformation, he would have made them like the T-1000 from terminator 2. I mean, they are frikkin aliens, why would they go thru the trouble of all that over-engineering and transforming? ;) ;D
SithMaster:
Lol yeah then they could have more weapons. But seriously he left out soundwave because he couldnt work out but frenzy could become a cellphone while being the size of a boombox in the last scene thats wrong. but ill give him half credit for giving prime a sword i mean a sword is almost an ax right?
