Went and saw.....

The Transformers movie last night, and man is it GOOD! I wasn't into them as a kid and all I can say is you've GOT to go see it. I'm a fleet mechanic for a Pepsi location and we got some tickets for an advance screening, so the wife and I took my yougest son who's 12 and his friend to see it and we all had a good time. There's no lul in action, or entertainment, and it's over 2 hours long!

I saw a preview for it on Father's day, it looked really good.
I did notice they seem to have a yellow prototype Cramaro in it.

Have you seen the latest Chevy commercials? Apparently they are sponsoring the advertising for it.

[Brock Samson]

everything these days is product placement, even the news these days runs stories on the home broadcast stations shows for example our local fox affiliate ran a seven minute story on american idol's winner at the top of the news...
things are pretty bad and getting worse in the who's in bed with who dept...

anyhow the movie looks interesting but i tire quickly of these effects driven infotainments with a tiny plot some where among the CGI...

anyhow,.. back in '68 the Kubrick film 2001 a space Odissey was hailed for it's pioneering use of real logos like the Bell Videophone, Pan Am space clipper and the Howard Johnson's space station... I think you can see the irony in that those Co.s  didn't made it to the new century...

Just saw Transformers.  early showing.    This movie will be huge.   It is awesome.   I know I loved that cartoon as a kid, and they even used the original guy for Optimus Prime as the cartoon.  Car people will love this movie, even though its gotta be sponsored by GM, makes me ready for the new Challenger,  would have been cool if some Mopars were in it,
but it was still a great car enthusiast's movie.   and . . .  Hay Strat, its a truck.
   Got a 3 1/2 star rating in review in Times, that pretty good.  Totally bitc%#% flick.

well, i haven't seen it but let's see how remembered it is in 7 Mos...
anyone remember "300"?.. 

[SeattleCharger]

oh yea, 300, that was a great movie,  they are only good for the first couple times you see them when they are new, unless you wait a while between watching them again, kind of the way it is,  if you like going to the movies and seeing a good movie, it is a good movie, movies don't usually stay in the theater for seven months . . .

I finally saw the movie, last night.  I really can't stand Michael Bay movies, but everyone has been saying that it was good.  It was Great!!!!!!!!!  Although, it definately was a ad campaign for General motors.  Too bad, dodge didn't get in with the new challenger.  I give it 4 out of 4 stars

[Brock Samson]

really 4 out of 4?.. 

[SeattleCharger]

Seattle Times gave it a 3 1/2 out of four stars, that's pretty high, very rare, it is a spielberg movie, not that all his are great, but usually will be decent.   Jaws, Indiana Jones, Close Encounters, what others I cannot remember, ok, he prob. had some bombs though, war of the worlds was ok, not exciting or that entertaining, but kind of trippy I guess

                                                                 they got a lot of new icons, huh?

[73ChargerSE]

Anyone see the unnamed trailer beforehand?  That movie will hit BIG.

Everyone is talking about it, but I missed all the previews    Did it look like an Indiana Jones trailer??

[TeeWJay426]

I saw it as well this past weekend... wife & son wanted to see it, and I went along rather reluctantly- didn't expect much, and figured it would be a waste. I was pleasantly surprised, as I really liked it- it was well done, and the action and effects were as good as I've seen recently. I'd recommend it to anyone.

[CFMopar]

Saw it last week. Awsome movie.. Good jokes good action no complaints..

[69bronzeT5]

I finally watched the movie last night. HOLY S*@*, its AWESOME!!!!!!! Its funny, never a boring moment and yea.....I really liked it. The graphics are amazing. I think that Shia kid plays the main character very well and also, his girlfriend is hot

[70charger_boy]

I liked the H53 helicopter that the decepticon was flying and the V22 Osprey tilt rotor helicopter in the beginning

Spielberg may have been a producer or an executive producer but he did not direct it, that was Michael Bay. It's hard to say how much influence Spielberg had over the content. Probably very little. I liked the movie quite a bit but there were plenty of truck-sized holes in the plot, but then plot is not the reason people go to see movies like this one. You couldn't ask for more grandiose action, that's for sure.
