Optimus Prime
replyOkay. You guys win, I lose.
I was a bit too harsh with my Transformers review and will type up a new one focused on pretending like I didn't see all 10 different trailers beforehand. To me, what surprised you guys like hell since you didn't come in with any sort of clue what was going on, is what I sorta glossed over completely. Part of the problem however was that I was probably more confused with what was going on that you guys. Why the hell was Barricade wasting his time bumping into Sam like that in car mode, and things like that. I saw this on a DLP screen and I swear to god it seemed a lot smaller than the one I normally go to.
So this weekend I'll go see the damn movie again. Even my co-workers thought I was fucking nuts for hating it. Sheeesh. :(-

It'd probably work out better for you if you treated it like a separate incarnation of the series, sorta like Beast Wars, and not a direct clone of G1.

I can see why some people wouldn't like it. Go see it again but don't be shocked if you still don't like it.
I'm not sure I'd like it as much seeing it again because part of what I loved about it the first time was the Holy Shit factor. I was thinking "What are they going to do next?" the whole time. It was just so over the top in the best way possible. -
Heheh... So are you saying that it was entertaining after all?

I have not posted that collection on the shack for 5 years. A few got lucky with a brief update on what it looks like but these days it looks much different.

This is a Tamiya model, but Jazz's livery was from the Martini design. -

Luminair and Pigvomit made some valid points and corrected me on a few things. Blame them! :)

Transformers was after my time for the most part. I feel pity for all you youngins raging over what is a movie based on toys.

I don't know why you're going to bother seeing it again, a lot of people seemed to agree that it was a shit movie.

Using the excuse of "well it's an action movie, of course it's dumb" is no real excuse for an action movie having plenty of flaws. Terminator 2 and Aliens are both well made movies. The idea of time traveling robots is just as absurd as robots that can turn into cars, but neither Terminator 1 or 2 were like "OH HAY GUYS WE AREN'T TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY EITHER!" (although I heard that 3 did and that was apparently a shit movie).
Was your review pretty nitpicky? Sure, but it seemed to point out plenty of stupid shit that was in the movie. I kind of doubt that you're going to enjoy it on your second view, it's not like a David Lynch movie or something where you'll see different things on your second view. -

You didnt like it and you're going to PAY TO SEE IT AGAIN? (sheep noises)
-
You weren't really harsh. You gave your opinion, and why. Unlike the "god that was shit" people, you also talked about the parts you thought were great (like the transforming).
I really enjoyed it, I thought it was a great popcorn flick, but nothing more than that. I'm pumped for sequels, and it's reminded me of the things I liked about Transformers toys as a kid. It's funny, the area you criticize the most (that the Autobots do not stay true to character) is what I thought was great - I always thought those guys were too straight-laced :D
