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!"...

    Well for me, the movie was really awesome.
    As of the “too many commercials” critics should be aware that in order to make a movie, one must have money. I’m sure that since this movie costs a lot, they really need sponsors. It’s no different with other movies who showed brands like Nike, Adidas, Coke, Pepsi… or even Missy Elliots’s MTV wearing all-Adidas.
    Blah blah, thanks. Yup, this movie definitely rocked. I saw it last saturday AGAIN!

    Well if the original movie was so awesome how come it bombed so terribly at the box office, got horrible reviews. maybe because your parents did not want to take you? Maybe Michael Bay knows better and wanted to appeal to a greater audience?

    The 2007 version got way better reviews and set world records for box office totals..

    People whining about Bumblebee, well they did not want to overload the movie with 20 robots and they wanted fighting and showing a VW shooting would look well “lame”.

    How come I do not see people complaining that Optimus Prime was not a robotic gorilla as in Beast Wars.

    If you can still watch the old Transformers and think they are awesome, then I am pretty sure you are the 1 percent who think that, it was a cool memory but has not aged well.

    The robotic designs from the cartoon would look terrible and really unrealistic, the modern movie design are more realistic as to how a robot would look that could change into something else.

    What is really annoying is all the “what about this and that from the 80’s” Sheeh people look at ALL the changes that were made, the Transformer canon is terrible they flipped the story every year to accomadate the toy line for crying out loud.

    I bet some of you whined hardcore about the new Battlestar Galactica.

    We got what most thought was impossible, two big names in hollywood getting the money together to produce a multimillion dollar movie about a bunch of 1980’s toys???

    (SPOILER WARNING)
    You guys don’t react well to someone having an opinion different than yours, do you? Just because a movie makes boat loads of money doesn’t mean it’s good. I’ve had a number of conversations with people, like yourselves, who defend the film and call it a “good movie.” When I ask them things like, “What was your favorite Trans battle?” all they can say is, “Well, it was cool when Prime killed Bonecrusher.” That’s it. You paid 10 bucks to see 30 minutes of sub-par action and one memorable moment. The rest was crap.

    If you’re going to defend the stupid backstory, cheesy lines like “You’re more than meets the eye,” and annoying characters like the Sector 7 agent, then you’re in no place to be criticizing Mike for having an outspoken opinion and telling him to stay out of the movie critic business.

    We were supposed to CHEER for this nerdy kid to get hooked up with some whore who stole cars as a kid? WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?! I was hoping that she’d get killed by Megatron, and Bumblebee would live and just tell our hero that, “She was a whore anyway. Let’s go find you a nice girl.” But no. The closing scene is them, ON TOP OF BUMBLEBEE, making out. And I was supposed to be happy about that? Wow. Just wow. This movie was a huge disapointment, and I’m happy that people like Mike and others posting here didn’t buy into the hype and aren’t afraid to tell the truth.

    I wanted to go away peacefully but, bashing this ass clown Abundo has become rather amusing to me.
    Mike Bay must have stolen the only girl that gave Abundo her phone number..You definitly have something personal against him. What did he bitch slap you at some point? Did he make you cry or did he steal your boyfriend? Mike Bay this, Mike Bay forgot to do that…Shut your hole!!!
    Were talking Transformers here people, not Mike Bay! I sense T2 to be the biggest blockbuster ever which Abundo will cry about I am sure.
    For all you Trans haters with your meaningless opinions I have this for you: Come up with something original to say and be able to back it up you pussies! Your excuses for why you thought the movie was bad are WEAK! Most of you write here because noone else would listen to you. If you did say it in public, I know for sure you would get an open handed bitch slap.
    You can spot these non-Trans fans a mile away like Abundo with not one witty rebuttle to the spanking I have been given him. You should be ashamed of yourself for calling yourself a writer. I am ashamed of you.
    All I have to say is, thank God they made another movie and it wasnt made 10 years ago when annimation wasnt as good! Thank God Prime had his original voice and he was still a Semi. I feel that Mike Bay made this movie for us, the die hards. Box Office shows no lies. Movies are recomended and noone believes critics. If this movie didnt bring you back those tingles from 1986 when you had to get home from Elementary school to throw it on the tube then, you never liked the Transformers. We know who you are.
    Abundo, your a bitch!
    The End
