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!"...

    I really enjoyed the film and I like the new and more modern look of all of the transformers. In one of the fight scene with Bonecrusher, Prime reminds me of Voltes Five when his sword came out. For a moment there I thought he was gonna chop Bonecrusher with a V shape on the torso. hehe..

    One drawback of the new look of the Transformer is that they tend to be difficult to distinguish from one another in the melee.

    Over-all, Im glad they made this movie. I hope that they do make sequels.

    You critic crap… you were expecting transformers to be an accurate rendition of the cartoon series, it would not have worked, megatron would look stupid if he turned into a gun, bumblebee was cool as a beetle, but still… he is cool as a camaro. TRANSFORMERS ROCKED, BIG TIME!!! mike abundo, go watch the tiyanaks instead, it will suit your preferences.

    When it comes to his fight with Megatron, it’s simply the two of them smashing their fists against each other, no sign of any use of their individual abilities. And lastly, the ending with the young kid pushing the cube into Megatron’s chest was a load of bull****. As if a human teenager could have overpowered Megatron, even with the almighty-M in a weakened state. Optimus Prime was basically emasculated at the end – it came down to a good ol’ apple-pie-loving naive american teenager to destroy a machine that had apparently ravaged innumerable worlds throughout the galaxy.

    In the end, the mighty warrior-philosopher-king Optimus Prime was reduced to watching a squishy little alien juvenile knock off his greatest rival. It was a pitiful sight.

    I agree with you on the fact that it really was disappointing to see Prime get robbed of his right to kick Megatron’s ass.. but dude, you had no right to spoil the ending of this much awaited movie, even if the ending sucked. You should really consider puting a SPOILER WARNING, man.

    “By the way, what Hollywood-produced live-action movie of comics or cartoon origins has been faithful to their original comics or cartoon characters or stories? I’m not good with movie trivia, but right now, I don’t remember any.”

    hmm i thought it was impossible that someone has not yet seen “300”. 😉 that movie was a hundred times better than the mediocre comic; yet remained very faithful.
