TRANSFORMERS

[Flustrated]

I just got home from an 8pm first showing of this movie. I took my 10 and 5 year old kids and they loved it! I must say, I wish the movie was out when I was a youngster. But late its better than never! Great flick Lotsa explosions, but the violence was mostly metal exploding or being shot up. Stronly recomended for those of you still stuck in your childhood like me.

I saw it on Monday with my friend who proclaimed it best movie of the year aside from Grindhouse. He said it was better that Die Hard 4.

I think some of the action scenes seemed kind of jumbled. I couldn't tell what was what in some of the fights. That being said, this has some of the best special effects I have ever seen. When Barricade the cop car transformed in less than half a second, I started clapping.

I felt sorry for Bumblebee at times, I really did fell bad for him

I have to tell you that, as one of the non-transformed, I thought the movie was great. Not as good as the new Die Hard, but well worth the price of admission and more.

I imagine that if you were familiar with the "history" or back story, you would appreciate it more. But, they pulled it off for the uninformed, so they get a minus three p*ssy fart rating from me and that's real good.

So you liked Die Hard? I heard it wasn't very good so that is why I haven't went and watched it,

Anyway I am not or never was a big Transformer guy, I had a few of those, but never really got into it like I did with Star Wars.

I don't know who you talked to, Mr. dirk digler, but I'll tell you the honest truth. We went to a double feature on the 4th before fireworks and saw Die Hard, then the Transformers movie. I wish I'd seen them in reverse order because I would have enjoyed the Transformers more. Everyone in my group loved Die Hard. John McClain (sp?) kicked booty.

In my humble opinion, it was excellent. Great action and effects, good character development, very funny, exciting, all that and more. I will buy the movie as soon as it comes out. A minus four p*ssy fart rating.

Thanks Mr. Fax. I will definitely go see it because your minus four pussy farts rating inspired me.

Did you like the first Die Hards, Mr. dirk digler? If so, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I loved them especially the first one. I was excited about the new one until a couple of my friends said it was just ok.

It's strange that your friends and I are so far apart on this one. I thought this was, by far, the best one yet.

By the way, did you know that one of the main terrorist thugs in the first Die Hard was a Kansas boy from Greenbush (unincorporated town) in SE KS?

Not really everyone has different tastes.

I am taking your advice though and I am going to see it so you better be right or else.

hey BTW I see the new Bourne is coming out the first weekend of August. Now I really love the Bourne series and I hope this one lives up to the first 2.

Other than the Transformers fan service moments, which were pretty ****in awesome, the movie was pure shit.

I disagree with some of this guy's points, but for the most part he was spot on:

Some choice quotes:

And ever since I heard Michael Bay was hired for this job I thought it was tailor made for him. The dude is obsessed with sports cars and has never felt a human emotion, how could you do better than hiring him to make a huge expensive movie where the main characters are cars?

This painful first hour shows that the movie's main problem is the same one as BAD BOYS 2: constant, embarrassingly unfunny jokes. Is it too difficult to take anything seriously anymore? Everything's gotta be wacky: Shia has a little dog with a cast and he feeds it painkillers. He rides a pink girls' bike and crashes in front of the girl he likes. A robot pulls his pants down so he's in his boxers. Anthony Anderson eats a bunch of donuts. Bernie Mac's mom flips him the bird. A fat guy dances.

There is a part that I almost think I might've dreamed but I remember it so vividly, where there is a cartoon BOING! sound and then there's a long shot of one of the robots proudly pissing all over John Turturro. This guy has toiled away in independent film for decades, done so much great work and in order to get a pay check he has to get R. Kellyed by a ****ing cartoon robot.

And I know I made this point in talkbacks, and so have others, but it bears repeating. DIE HARD was a blockbuster/popcorn/summer/event movie. So was ALIENS. And TERMINATOR 2. RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. STAR WARS. JAWS. ROAD WARRIOR. PREDATOR. ROBOCOP. TOTAL RECALL. THE MATRIX. LORD OF THE RINGS. You people who like your BATMAN and SPIDER-MAN and X-MEN and SUPERMAN and James Bond and LETHAL WEAPON... these are all big event movies, many of them timeless, many of them clever, well-crafted, some of them masterpieces. I am not being pretentious, I am not expecting too much, these are mainstream, crowd pleasing movies and they are what you used to hope for when you went to a summer movie. You can't realistically expect a movie as good as ALIENS every time, but that's better than resigning to the idea that "summer movie" equals "horribly made infantile disposable pap" and being excited about it anyway.

I hope the next one isn't as corny and that they focus more on the Transformers period. The movie did have so many flaws that I don't think it will quite make classic status. Hopefully the next one will.
