"TRANSFORMERS" Movie Trailer (Not The Teaser Trailer) The Real Deal!

   That has got to be the most disappointing movie I've seen in a long time !!
   
My fault for not seeing a trailer or preview first   :icon_smile_dissapprove:

  3/4 of the movie was centered around people [ live ones, not even cartoons ] . 
It was filled with all kinds of cliches - to name a few...
   Geek Kid gets hot girlfriend
   Hot girlfriend says car has "double pumper carb", but the engine shot is of a fuel injected car
   no real civilian casualties
   Bad guys disrupt everyones communications yet a figther strike is called in.
   Government conspiracy, etc

  The CGI effects for the Transformations were good.  And the first battle scene.  But the whole "we love humans" crud, please....
  They never introduced any Transformer characters other than the main three [ well , they did for about 1 second]
  In the fight scenes you couldn't tell which Transformer was fighting which other transformer.
  Of course the good humans have unlimited ammo somehow.
  I think they had a budget and tried to stretch 2+ hours of movie out of it.
  As mentioned before - a lot of lame predictable humor.
  Where were the Energon cubes ?

  I wish I could smack the screenplay writer  :icon_smile_big:

:brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall:

  I would have been happier watching 4  original 1/2 hour TV cartoons back to back.

I still have to go see it. I am, after all, in the target geographic group (guys in their mid to late 20's who religiously watched the cartoons back in the 80's). I won't go anywhere near a theater at least till Sunday - right now I'd rather avoid the throngs of fanboys and 7 year olds....

I like the idea for a live action Robotech movie.

Awe Shucks 89' loosen up a little! :icon_smile_big:
Compared to the loads of hot garbage we moviegoers have been getting lately Transformers wasn't a bad movie...
Besides there will NEVER be a movie made that EVERYONE will like! :yesnod:

......Maybe you will like Transformers 2 better! :stirthepot:  HAHA!

Of course the plot is lame and the story has more holes in it than an A-10 target after two passes but you have to take it for what it is.

all I got from the link was an advertisement that never stops, waited 10 minutes and it keeps repeating

Good movie.   If it was the new Challenger and not the Camaro, he would probably be saying something different.    :scratchchin:


Why would you want anything else?  Just give me a Charger and I'll be happy.

  Wasn't the modern movie for thunderbirds  "Team America"?

A group of us went to see it last night. Guess I'm not in that target demographic. Sure the CGI parts were great and effects can now pass as real. As for a movie, I'd give it a 4 or so out of 10. Makes Pirates of the Caribbean look like Citizen Kane.

And yes Brock, I do remember Thunderbirds. :cheers: How about Stingray or Fireball XL5? :icon_smile_big:

I saw it with the wife last night.... all I have to say was un fu*^&^ing believable. I grew up with the things and loved the movie. Even my wife enjoyed it.

I could go on but i'll just stop with I loved the effects...enjoyed the non stop action, laughed at the humor... and just plain enjoyed myself.
