Transformers Movie Review: Optimus Prime was Robbed!

“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!"...

    You remind me of those kids that want to spoil everyone’s movie experience by spoiling them of the ending… I just think it’s obnoxious and immature. Dude, PLEASE PUT A SPOILER ALERT in your review. It wasn’t Michael Bay who spoiled this movie for me.. it was you.

    O kids, tama na. Napansin na ng husto itong si Mike na sa tingin ko eh tuwang-tuwa pa ngayon at marami ng pumunta sa website niya.

    Isa siya sa mga unang-unang nag-post ng review. Yun nga lang, nag-feeling masyado ang lolo ninyo.

    Akala niya eh cool mag-diss ng isa na namang Hollywood blockbuster ‘coz he thought it’s what the elitista film critics are going to do.

    Sorry, Mike, even Jessica Zafra, who is the epitome of angst and the de-facto voice of Gen-Xers and is more qualified than you are to review a film actually enjoyed the movie. So that says a lot.

    Hirap kasi sa mga fanboy na kagaya mo, ang kitid ng utak. Mga spoiled brats kasi kayo nung bata, lahat ng gusto ninyo binibigay ng magulang ninyo kaya ngayon, pag hindi nasunod gusto ninyo sa isang beloved franchise ninyo, nagmamaktol kayo kahit obviously mas nakaka-appeal siya sa maraming tao.

    Ang masasabi ko lang, sorry ka Mike at kayong mga fanboy, gumawa muna kayo ng film to prove yourselves and hope against hope that Steven Spielberg will award you the job of directing the sequel to Transformers.

    Doon ninyo gawin lahat ng gusto ninyo. Ang gawin ninyo, limang oras yung movie tapos walang istorya, ubusan lang ng lahi yung Transformers, as in, limang oras na battle scenes.

    O di happy kayo nun di ba? Yun nga lang ewan ko lang kung ilan ang manonood ng ganung klaseng pelikula.

    Ewan ko lang kung may Hollywood studio na gagastusan yung script na ganun.

    So bago kayo magmaktol ng magmaktol, gumawa muna kayo ng movie. Kahit B-movie lang (diyan sumikat si Quentin Tarantino), just to prove yourselves.

    Otherwise, just shut up. If magpopost man kayo ng review, put spoiler warnings and make a convincing argument.

    Sabi nga ni Mike, “homocentric” daw ang Transformers. Speak for yourself, Mike, you’re “robocentric” naman.

    Dun ka kaya tumira sa beloved Cybertron mo nang makawala ka sa “homocentric propaganda” na pinagsasabi mo.

    What are you on, man? Pahingi naman niyan…

    Geez… trolls and noobs galore! It’s entertaining and downright annoyingly stupid. Obviously many Filipinos (assuming that’s the foreign language I read here) are still far behind from understanding the concept of blogging and its difference from a corporate movie review blog. “Spoiler alert”? Are you kidding me?! The author is no way obligated to put it here, these people are so clueless! Reading pompous personal attacks, seemingly know-it-all, high-horse, but rather presumptuous stupid comments makes IT IQ go down the drain. Stupid is as stupid does. No way can these dinosaurs be salvaged from the tar pits.

    Thanks for the warning man, at least I wouldn’t expect much from the storyline.

    Laura Clifford:

    Director Michael Bay, never known for subtlety, transforms the popular 1980’s toy line into a loud, flashy, goofy mashup of a movie that plays like “Gremlins” as really big hardware.

    Nick Schager:

    One would think that a story about undetectable enemies infiltrating home soil might provide fertile opportunities for contempo subtext, a notion further stoked when Josh Duhamel’s army stud, amid a city street skirmish, tells civilian Sam, “Everyone’s a soldier now!” Alas, Transformers is so hot and bothered over its reassembling robots that it can barely muster the energy to develop even an up-front text that makes sense, such that when the final battle erupts, identifying combatants as well as motivations proves nearly hopeless.
