“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!

I’m a Transformers fan, but I’m not thanking the gods of Hollywood just because Michael Bay was generous enough to let Transformers play setpieces in a movie entitled Transformers. As JC pointed out earlier, getting Hollywood treatment isn’t always cause for celebration. Regardless of franchise fandom, a bad movie is still a bad movie.
I hate you so much right now ……. it’s not out here for another month and thanks to lack of spoiler warnings i now know the end …….. Thank you, perhaps instead of bashing Bay you should concider your own inept nature
You should consider your own inept spelling.
Mike, what film did you watch? Are you sure it was Transformers? What are you talking about more screen time devoted on humans? There’s a robot going berserk not even 10 minutes into the film.
Transformers is silly, stupid and pure mechanical mayhem. It’s delightfully sinful. And I beg to disagree, it’s fantastic–that is, if you go into the theater as a kid, not as a cerebral-art-film-critic.
Naku, another feeling critic na naman. Ikaw Mike yung tipo ng tao na walang kalatoy-latoy sa kama. Yung tipong inaaral lahat ng position sa lovemaking at nagbabasa ng sex tips. You just can’t go down and dirty. Maga-alcohol muna, ganun.
Pa-intelligent-kuno eh mali-mali naman ang analysis, didn’t even provide a convincing argument at wala man lang spoilers, diyosme!
Alam mo, if mag-aattempt kang maging film reviewer, mag-aral ka muna, iho. Even rabid critics who live and die on dissing films are decent enough to put a spoiler warning.
Wag ka ngang review ng review na wala ka namang “K.” Napaka-GenX ng attitude mo, pa-angst eh wala ka naman sa lugar.
Hoy hindi na ’80’s noh, 2-oh-oh-7 na!
Kindly move on na po tayo at hindi na natin pag-aari ang mundo. Laos na ang GenX attitude. You’re caught in a time warp. Hindi mo na pag-mamay-ari ang mga robots na yan. ‘Wag ka masyadong fanboy.
Stuck-up ka masyado, baka kailangan mo na ng Viagra.
Naku may I digress to the max ako. At personal na atake na, my bad.
Ang sa akin lang, Mike, don’t review a film if you can’t weave together a convincing argument.
At kung nangangarap ka maging film critic, eh sorry, pero walang pumapansin na sa mga film critic ngayon.
Tumatanke ang Spiderman 3 at Pirates na tsinugi-tsugi ng critics na sa aking palagay eh mas pangit compared sa Transformers.
Bakit kamo?
Eto, ang Spiderman 3 nagpapa-deep ‘coz of the personal conflicts of the characters kaso nag-fail kasi naging katawa-tawa ang mga tagpo na hindi naman dapat maging katawa-tawa. Ang Pirates naman, halo-halo ang kwento, hindi mo na masundan. Daming characters, daming habol dito, habol doon.
Ang Transformers, alam niyang corny siya at hindi nag-aattempt magpa-deep. At anong mas maraming screen-time ang mga tao? Eh sa earth nga nangyari ito diba? Anim na bilyon ang tao sa mundo, ano gusto mo, walang tao kang makikita? Hindi ko alam kung aanga-anga kang musmos o ano eh.
Anyways, going back, as I was saying, hindi nagpre-pretend ang lolo Michael Bay mo. Ang katalinuhan niya, alam niyang hindi siya magaling sa storytelling pero mahusay siya sa aksyon at bakbakan. Kaya nga sinimplihan niya ang kwento, it’s about Sam Witwicky and Bumblebee, doon na lamang niya pina-ikot ang kwento. Kasi nga, may I repeat, ang lolo Michael Bay mo eh alam ang kanyang kakulangan, which is storytelling. (Di tulad ng isa diyan hindi niya alam na wala siyang K mag-review.)
Battling robots you want, battling robots I shall give you, yun ang nasa utak ni direk Michael Bay.
Eh kaw naman, ang napansin mo racial slurs, si Witwicky, propaganda crap.
Hello? Propaganda what? Ano ka ba, aktibista? Manonood ka ng Transformers tapos propaganda mapapansin mo?
Tsk, tsk, tsk…
And what’s with the “a bad film is a bad film?”
Bakeeet? Sino ka ba para magdeclare ala-GMA na a bad film is a bad film?
Hoy iho, wala tayo sa art world. This is entertainment. Hindi Picasso o Leonardo ang ating tinitingnan dito, there’s no absolute yardstick when it comes to Hollywood films.
It’s purely subjective.
Ang sa akin lang, if you’re going to diss a film, diss it convincingly and not be too messianic about it.
Pa-know-it-all ka kasi. Dyan ka na nga, wallow in your propaganda-imperialist-whatnot delusions.
Frigging stiff.
