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!"...

    That’s the problem when you expect so much from something. Hooligan’s comments were right.

    DO you actually expect it to be so much like the 80’s movie? If it was tailored to the 80’s movie, would you typically say that “oh it was so last gen.. or the gen before that”..

    Is there some movie that you actually liked? Why not try doing a movie of your own and see how idiotic it would be compared to this movie. Of course you’re not a director, but even so i doubt you’d be able to make a movie as great as this.

    The problem here i think is that you’ve already made you’re judgement before watching the movie. Or you just want some attention on your own. you want to stand out as someone “feeling elite” who say’s “hindi yan pasado sa taste ko..” Coz if you judged the movie fair and square, the movie’s undoubtedly one of the best this year,

    @all
    Actually di nga nag transform si megatron into a big gun but at least he did launch a cannon type weapon..

    @you again mike

    When you watch a movie, see it to appreciate and not see it to criticize.

    I don’t know what movie you saw, but it definitely was not the same as what most of us saw… stop being stuck in the 80’s and hoping someone makes the movie your way (or someone asks you to make one yourself), im glad i saw the movie before i read this review (would’ve been better if i didnt even read this review at all actually), cause the biased in this revies definitely does not do justice in describing the movie for what it REALLY is.

    I need to see more optimus prime, autobots and decepticons.

    Same here. Imagine that: not enough Transformers in a movie entitled Transformers.

    One Transformer even disappears from this movie. Thanks to bad editing, Barricade vanishes after Bonecrusher transforms, never to be seen again.

    He probably decided to go after Michael Bay.

    ZOMG THEY CHANGED IT FROM THE ORIGINAL BECAUSE YOU CAN’T MAKE A CARTOON FOR KIDS WORK IN THE SAME WAY AS A LIVE-ACTION MOVIE FOR ADULTS!!!!!!!111111 HOW COULD THEY???!!!!!!!11111one

    Grow up, people. When you make a 2 1/2 hour live-action film, it won’t work the same as a long-running cartoon.

    I thought the movie was fun. They had to look different, and things had to run differently – I’m cool with that. It was much better than I expected.

    Look at this original Optimus Prime animation. Tell me which is better, honestly:

    Plus, in my opinion using the Transformers only as much as they did worked well, it made the aliens seem just that – alien. I thought Shia LeBeouf was great in it as the “kid” as you said, whereas Hot Rod in the ’86 original was freaking annoying. The ending took me by surprise, with him sticking the cube in Megatron. I expected them to do the whole “Optimus sacrifices himself again” thing, which is fine, but this worked too.

    And what’s with everyone making a big deal out of the General Motors thing? So they got sponsored: Who cares? Movie production got to get PAID, son…

    Meh, disagree with me, I don’t care. Mad props to Michael Bay for a big, loud, expensive, Hollywood popcorn movie that I enjoyed, and it didn’t rape the original series and plots.
