I'm making a series of forum threads asking specifics on what was wrong and what was right (oposed to what you liked and didn't like) with some comic book films...

Movie: Transformers

Example:

  • Right: There were the Autobots and the Decepticons
  • Wrong: Bumblebee was a Camaro instead of a Bug

Right: Cool Special Effects

Wrong: Bad jokes, minimal story, Bumblebee wasn't a VW beetle, no Dinobots.

I just hated Megan Fox after she said that she was too pretty to get the same roles as other actresses. Mudflap and Skids just didn't like them.

She's fit,  but nothing special.

She has a mint body and a moody, enticing  look...... But..... Have you heard her in interviews?  She's so big headed, she loves her self so much and to me, that is a massive turn off.

And.... She's not that great of an actress..... In most of her future roles, she will more than likely be picked due to her looks other than her talent.

This movie was awsome. Everything was ggood. The only thing wrong about it was that it showed less Transformes and more Sam and his girlfriend.

Tons of Action comedy and Megan Fox what more do you need.
I do not know why everyone was ragging on this movie, its an action movie not the Notebook.
Besides a lot of fans complained that the first movie did not have enough transformers or action. So Michael Bay made a second movie giving us more of what you asked for.
Obviously with all the robots and action, character development gets sacrificed, and its an action movie so who cares. You really didn't need it for this movie anyway.
There was like one or two minor plot details that could of been better but its a movie you just had to go with it.

  • right- special affects, tons of action, hilarious jokes, megan fox, tons of cool transformers and special affects
  • wrong- although mudflap was very funny you could argue making him too sterotypical was wrong with the gold tooth big ears etc. Also the whole teleport thing was never explained

 Mmmmh

  Right : Good FX, Megan Fox is a hotty !, Fun moment, the autobot and Decepticon are well fleshed...

  Wrong : Some silly humourus moment, some silly human characters and some story plot large as the empire state building. (I hate this fat black guy ! I don't remember his name but each time I see him he's just more pathetic than the last !)

RIGHT:
More action, goofier comedy, Mudflap and Skids were hilarious (robots that can't read and have gold teeth yep racist all black ppl are like that. If someone thought they were racist they're the ones who are), more action.

WRONG:

Robots that make devastator are fighting in the desert, that bandage of Sams kind of came out of nowhere, only decepticons die (i love me some autobots but some gotta die), Where was Jolt?, Megans hot but really a butt shot the hood scene in the 1st was just classier and AMAZING also in the 1st she looked more natural in this one like they tried to make her overly hot, not really needed with pot brownies and parents at college still hilarious but not needed. The Fallen in that ship how long has that been there, did they really need the matrix and sometimes i thought why is this happening,

THINGS THAT PEOPLE NEED TO CHILL ABOUT:

experimental gun taking out devastato from so far...1) its a movie 2) its experimental who knows it potential, the accents really? Jazz spoke "thugly"  in the 1st, the Doctor needing glasses really? nothing like a site gag and a different way to show a robot magnifying an image, Bumblebee as a bug = LAME/gay/weak so he was a bug when you old guys were kids but yea a camora has balls why would anyone complain about flames on Optimus does it really matter, someone asked why didn't our ancestors destroy the machine....with what stones and sticks pretty dumb thought on their part, pretty sure it was said the original good primes were not violent and the Fallen was the strongest AND he was "family" killing fam = not cool, this is out there but...maye Optimus is diferent and needed the matrix to be brought back, one of the 1st things Meg Fox asks Bee is if hes still having voice problems and he nods so when Alice is in the car he messes with her and really thibk if bumblee was like" yea that slut is a bot," a couple things would have happened she would have attacked, sam would have been like "bull shit," and bumblebe might not have known because he probably thought she would have gotten Sam in trouble.

AFTER THOUGHTS:

Its a summer blockbuster made with Micheal Bay who goes for excessive action not awards, so last summer we had The Dark Knight which is one of the finest pieces of cinema created but how many summer movies have been that high of caliber?Movies are meant to entertain and Megan Fox even said "This is a summer popcorn movie," not a profound film that will revolutionize future films. Those who are tearing this movie down so strongly you have to remember ITS ABOUT ALIEN ROBOTS THAT TALK AND FIGHT. So people shut the hell up and enjoy themovie its pretty entertaining. I didn't go in thinking wow can't wait to see character development or a thought provoking plot i wanted to see huge robots fighting and Megan Fox running in a low cut shirt

I agree with this totally. The movie couldn't have stunk worse. The acting and plot were absolutely terrible to the point I was insulted.

If Michael Bay is involved, I'm out. The Rock was the closest thing he's ever done to 'good' and lately all he wants to do is remake movies that don't need to be remade. I give Transformers a D- and that's because the special effects were good. Maybe more Megatron would have worked.

  • Right  - 1) Megan Fox is just haawt!;  ...Erm...would say CGI, but none of the CGI had me gawping and going "ooooo"...just what you'd expect from any other big budget movie.

 

  • Wrong - 1) Only Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and a handful of Autobots being distinguishable by colour...yeah chrome is a cool shade, but when every other robot is chrome, it gets monotonous; 2) Jetfire being one of the oldest and out of date Transformer and he can teleport...how come no other Transformer has that ability?; 3) Lack of plot... Bay again trying to distract and drown true fans of the genre with big sounds, big lights and unneccessary skin shots (I wouldn't normally complain trying to see up Megan Fox's hot pants and down her top); 4) Although it included elements of comedy, drama and action...it was all put together  so you couldn't understand what direction the movie was going; 5) The mother becoming a comedian over the space of the two movies;


There's so much more I could write. Overall I just found it boring. Michael Bay's been given all this money due to the box office success of the first...but in my opinion you could have put any director at the helm for the movie of this franchise and it would have made equally just as much.

That said, the kids loved it...

...maybe I'm just getting old. :p

Negatives: Not enough characterization for the Most of the Bots and Cons, Humans basically defeating the Cons, the Rail Gun killing off Devastator without him even fighting andhes only in it for 5 minutes.

Too damned right.  Everyone should stop being so up-tight about a summer blockbuster film.  They should just sit back, shut the F and enjoy the ride... ;)

I laugh at those who go to a Transformers movie expecting a great and flawless plot. It's a movie about transforming robots from space that was originally adapted from a toy line.

Having seamless plots is the clear opposite of everything Transformers stand for!

On a side note, I though the plot was passable with only a few holes.

The movie was nothing but balls to walls action with no character development and lame cheesy jokes especially by the twin robots. Nice to know Micheal Bay batserized Transformers 2. This movie was a complete joke. This decades Batman & Robin. It was that bad of a movie.
