“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!

@mike: btw, am curious as to whether or not you found the comical scenes in the movie as funny as the rest of us did? or was the entire experience really as abominable for you as you said?
Well Mike, if you’re so hung up on the money you wasted seeing Michael Bay’s flick, you better write to him and ask for a refund. Otherwise, welcome to the real world. Stop being a spoiled brat.
And please, as I wrote in my earlier posts, nobody’s questioning your right for dissing Bay’s film. Most posters here were annoyed by your immature way of posting a review. If you’re going to entitle your blog entry “TRANSFORMERS REVIEW” and make it searchable, it’s common sense to put a spoiler alert knowing you’ll reveal the ending for everyone to read.
It is beside the point whether you’re obliged to or not.
Some Googlers merely stumbled on your entry as you are one of the firsts to put out a “REVIEW.”
I tend to think that out of your bratty frustration over the film, you deliberately omitted the spoiler warning so as to turn-off as many people as you can.
Well, sorry, you and your ilk like Bikerboy here can wallow in your delusions of being the masters of cyberspace and pop culture.
The thing is, just like in natural selection, the specialists (like geeks and fanboys) always lose out against the generalists (the mass market i.e. people who aren’t so hung-up on anything).
And to Bikerboy, whatever nationality or “race” you might be (although technicality according to anthropologists, there’s no such thing as “race”), it would be wise not to reveal it. You’re going to put your so-called “race” to shame.
Bringing the topic of “race” over a Transformers movie review puts you on par with single-celled organisms in terms of intelligence.
Better evolve first before participating in this discussion. You have a lot of catching up to do. You are so way over your head.
Hooligan, if you still believe there’s such a thing as a global media “mass market”, then you’re even more detached from reality than I thought. Welcome to the Long Tail.
If your basis for liking this movie is your own Darwinian survival as a loyal member of your beloved “mass market”, then you’re nothing more than a mindless lemming.
DarkHalf, I actually found Bay’s attempts at humor painfully contrived. Should hitting a Decepticon between the legs have the same effect as hitting a man in that area? I think not. You know a movie’s humorless when it screws up a joke about balls.
hmmm… im sorry you didnt like the film. damn. i think TFormer fans-hard core fans since the 80’s would really react this way. but, i think being extremely faithful to the cartoon or the transformers myth would be a disaster as well. imagine a desert wasteland and robots inside caves and about 3 humans. hmm… i loved the film and how it was presented. it gave a thrill ride and although it centered on bumblebee and sam, i still think it was nice. i mean, imagine an optimus prime centered flick. maybe your such a fan of prime that you were disappointed with him having 2 seconds of screen time. hmm… i think that in watching films, you should be open minded because it aint the same thing as the comic or the cartoon. do you honestly want a movie that mimics every scene in the cartoon and the only difference is that-they’re human? hmm… i think the movie kicked ass. dont think of the past. dont think of anything else. if you’d just sit down, watch and enjoy-and im sure you WILL enjoy. its a 9/10 for me. ^_^
