“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!

Hey Mike, I think the movie in itself is awesome, but for your complaints about the overall storyline, some things to keep in mind: 1) This is a Michael Bay film, 2) What works in cartoons won’t always work on the big screen and 3) Our 80s generation has evolved faster than we would have liked. I agree that the human protagonists had more airtime than the bots, and that part sucks, but you have to give the movie the credit it deserves for WOW-factor. Besides, I’ve never heard of a movie getting ALL the factors (cuts, production, script, etc) right at any one time. So let’s just appreciate that they decided to make a movie out of a beloved cartoon. 🙂
BTW, please consider putting a spoiler warning at the top of your page. The movie isn’t being shown in other countries yet, we’re one of the lucky few who got to watch it on the big screen first. 😀
As you said, DarkHalf, this is a Michael Bay film. There isn’t much of a story to spoil.
Well, you gave away the “what-the-f*ck” part of the story. 😀
Wag ka nga masyado feeling hollywood critic Mike! Then dont watch it again if you didnt like it! And if you feel you are a “movie critic” try warning the readers about spoilers ok?
Nah, it wasnt that bad. In fact, it was downright frikkin AWESOME. I watched the movie along with transformer fans ten times more rabid than you, who could recite the script of the 1986 movie backwards, who knew the name of every voice talent who did all the major characters, who could recite all the names of the constructicons and predacons in alphabetical order, and they enjoyed it. Immensely.
So what if Prime wasnt the one who did Megatron in? So what if Bumble bee was a camaro? So what if the humans hadmore screentime (sulit naman kay Megan Fox RRWWAAR)? In the end, the movie kicked ass. The movie is critic proof, because those who enjoyed it, and we are legion, will just forever see nay-saying, nit-picking critics like you for the pompous, pretentious, “ohooh-I-wanna-be-cool-by-bashing-the-trnasformers” you really are.
Ika nga nga ni Mix, ang feeling mo.
