“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!

The comments are not that entertaining, its all back and forth whinings. Your claims are obviously coming from the fact that you can’t leave the 80’s. But I guess your entitled to your opinions. I just hoped you were more open in accepting the good points of the movie instead of being bitter all the way as you were.
Oh, I accept the special effects as a good point — the only good point. Everything else sucked.
I didn’t think you did. “Believe it or not, it’s even more of an abomination than everyone expected it to be — from jumpy editing to fake graphics to…” I thought you just implied its part of the expected abomination of the movie.
I agree with you though that the story line is cheesy, but it was still entertaining to some extent. If you never knew Transformers back then, would you see the movie differently? And maybe perhaps like it?
I’d probably like it even less if I didn’t know the Transformers back then. Bay doesn’t give anyone any reason to care about the Transformers themselves; if I didn’t know who the Transformers were, I’d be even more apathetic towards these ugly aliens and their cheesy lines.
The hackneyed humans were just annoying, so I didn’t care about them either way. Thus, if I didn’t know the Transformers beforehand, I’d end up seeing a movie where I absolutely didn’t care what happened to anyone.
Blahblahblah. The movie’s raking it in the US box office. All this debate, whining, intellectual whatnot is moot.
A bad movie is a bad movie? Oh well, bottomline is it entertained the heck out of everyone who saw it. So who’s to say what’s a bad movie, then?
