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!"...

    OK, you spent a lot on the CG.. great, wonderful, can I watch the bots fight please? That was Michael Bay’s department. Failure.

    The robot fighting the one thing we thought Michael Bay couldn’t possibly screw up, and guess what? He screwed it up along with the rest of the movie.

  2. Mike Abundo says:

    Blahblah, Fair_Warning wasn’t expecting anything when he saw the movie. Does that mean that, in your eyes, having zero expectations makes one a “stuck-up elitist”?

    In that case, one would need less-than-zero expectations for you to consider them even “fair-minded”. What a sad, cynical worldview you have, Blahblah: always living with less-than-zero expectations, calling anyone with at least zero expectations a “stuck-up elitist”.

    Coca, I wouldn’t mind Megatron’s new look so much if he was actually a passable villain in this movie. After being horribly underused, the guy gets killed off by a kid ten times smaller than him.

    Cole Smithey:

    It’s a sickening force-feeding commercial frenzy to sell cars, toys and war in the same breath that it pawns itself off as “cinema.” This is not cinema. This is acid kool-aid for children. Don’t drink it.

    If you’re going to sell Kool-Aid to children, at least don’t spike it with acid.

    “Nerd” and “elitist” are the usual terms that generate a reply from you, Mike.

    You’re too defensive.

    And naive too, for believing there are people with zero expectations going into the theater.

    Unless those people live under a rock or has been in a coma for the last two years, you’d have some form of expectation for this film. Expectations like…

    I expect to see robots in CGI. Check.

    I expect to see things blowing up. Check.

    I expect to see people (coz this took place on earth and there was fair warning in posters–“Their War, OUR Planet.” OUR, meaning HUMAN BEINGS). Check.

    I expect a lot of noise. Check.

    Do you mean Fair_Warning went into the theater without a brain? Not even expecting anything listed above?

    Flawed logic, Mike. Sorry. Stick to your day job. You’ve no future being a film critic, sorry.
