fight scene in the woods… I’d be more than happy to catch “Transformers” on the big screen one
more time just for that !!!

Hilarious while still making the necessary points to convey the movies successes and failures. I enjoyed it too. I was let down in places I didn’t expect to be and found entertainment in places I wouldn’t have imagined. I thought it was a lot of fun and definitely worth seeing in the theatre for the scene in woods alone. Bay might not win at everything but few can compete with his FX. Those Bots were BAD ASS.

vibe. Whenever a movie surprises me like that, I am (usually) pleased. A film about gigantic robots
should never take itself too seriously. Indeed, Megan Fox could have said something profound, and
all of the Transformers could have wore “Hello My Name Is” stickers… But then it would have been
without that certain charm ! “Star Trek” and “Up” are the best films out so far this year, no doubt
in my mind. Yet both films have some heavy-handed scenes. I like going to the movies without my
box of tissues once in a while !!!

The lipstick Megan Fox wears is by “CoverGirl International” (also known as “CGI”). ;-)

I listened to my best friend’s advice, :) and took the movie with a grain of salt. I couldn’t do it. Sorry..I think my expectations are still through the roof due to an incredible flick like Star Trek. I thought this movie had poor jokes, and I wanted to knock off the parents after a while. Enough is enough with the annoying parent scenes. That was Michael Bay’s way of ‘filling’ this super long movie. The movie was way too long. The new characters are not memorable, and there were so many robots at the end, I got confused. I did like the special effects once in Egypt..but what I really want to know is..what brand lipstick does Megan Fox have on??? I want some of that!!!!! I mean after all the smoke and blowing up and transporting to another country, MY GOSH, her lipstick stayed on perfect!!!

a frenzy. My favorite “Harry Potter” flick (to date) is “Prisoner of Azkaban” !

Glad you liked my trivia… All’s Welles that ends Welles. :-)

(not entirely because I do like the actors and actresses enough to want to see it)..

Neither “Terminator” nor “Transformers” can be accused of being High Art…
“Star Trek” is leading the pack (quality wise) but there wasn’t any sense of the main characters being
in danger there either. Somehow, I knew Kirk and Spock would make it to the sequel.

It is over long and has the most ridiculously thin plot. It looks like they sat around thinking of all the fun things they could do for the big robot set pieces and then constructed a story to link them together, poorly. The biggest problem is that there is no sense of any of the main characters (human or robot) ever being in any danger of getting hurt. Even when they appear dead you know they will be okay. Anyone who had any doubts about this was well and truly corrected when they resurrected Megatron. If they can resurrect him the good guys where always going to be safe.

I have nothing against blockbusters. I enjoyed the first Transformers and of this seasons crop Star Trek was really good. Terminator wasn’t as bad as you say but this film was just dire.

times like the film was being directed by a couple of kids while playing
with their “Transformers” action figures (making everything up as they
went along)… Other times, it seemed like the film was not even being
directed at all. But darn if it wasn’t a hoot !!! Thanks Alan ! :-)

This is a summer movie all the way. No time to think, just keep throwing the robots at us. Only 2 things drag down this popcorn flick…too much gobbley-gook about the Fallen and why he has returned and those two AWFUL Jar Jar Binks wannabe’s that almost spoil the film. Other than that…it was a blast! Only summer movie better is Star Trek so far this season! Great review dude!
