“Stay away, lad! That’s Prime’s fight!” — Kup, in the original 1986 Transformers animated movie. I just watched Michael Bay’s Transformers movie at the Gateway Globe Platinum Theater. Believe it or not, it’s even more of an abomination than everyone expected it to be — from jumpy editing to fake graphics to gibberish computerspeak to […]Click here to continue reading "Transformers Movie Review: Optimus Prime was Robbed!"...Transformers Movie Review: Optimus Prime was Robbed!

Wow and I was seeming set to watch this movie. Its quite sad it never stayed faithful to the original script/form. Grant it there are many who ’embrace’ this, but damn thats bogus. Did Hasbro or some creative body intervene w/ Bay’s creative direction?
People question some changes. (major changes) Like Bumblebee’s classic alternate mode was a Volkswagen Beetle, but this was changed to a Camaro. Megatron’s not turning into a gun, Optimus prime got robbed for his right to defeat Megatron, some new designs for the Autobots, abomination, etc etc. Some are blasting Michael Bay for everything, making him out to be the Grinch who stole their Transformers Christmas. Time is moving forward and it’s no longer the 80s. Judge the movie on what it is, not on what you think it should have been.
Oh, I’ll judge it for what it is, alright: an gratuitously homocentric propaganda film.
Hmm, maybe a spoiler warning should’ve been in place.
I saw it. It’s not perfect, but it’s not the worst I’ve seen.
dude, this is a michael bay film,and you were expecting a great storyline? maybe you should put yourself in a more appropriate perspective. this is obviously an eye candy film, big robots and explosions and effects. and it succeeds at that. any monkey knows it’s not a movie trying to be smart.
like the previous poster said, it’s not the 80’s anymore. as an anime fan i thought you would appreciate the new ‘mecha’-nized look. don’t tell me those old 80’s boxy designs look cool by today’s standards– now, that would be something to whine about. megatron’s not turning to a gun because he’s too big to be a gun; if you think about it the movie introduced a bit of plausibility.
a lot of pretentious film critiques nowadays huh? hating stuff (everything) must really be cool.
