Transformers

[AA-12]

Two days is too long of a wait :( At the same time, i'm so happy that this movie is almost here. The first time I heard about it and saw the trailer I was so excited it wasn't even funny. This movie is going to rule harder than anything thus far in 2007 I bet.

So yeah, discuss this movie/old school stuff/games/etc

[Squirrel]

The cartoon is beyond amazing, my favorite episode was where Starscream gets exiled to Guadalcanal and finds some old WW2 wrecks. He then sneaks onto the Decepticons planet [cant remember the name] and steals the personality components from some prison and puts them in the wrecks to make his own army.

It ends with the constructobots combining to form Devastator, and Starscreams dudes [the Combaticons] combining to form Bruticus, then them two slug it out.

[AA-12]

Man, I need to get a hold of the old cartoons. So awesome.

[FakePlasticTrees]

I loved Transformers when I was younger, but as of now, I can't remember a single thing about them. :I

[south_of_heaven 11]

I saw a straight-to-DVD movie today in Blockbuster called "TRANSMORPHERS"...I lol'd.

[Kithkin]

The cartoon is so comicly bad if you go back and watch it now. Half of the plots make no sense, they gain and lose powers on a whim and invent new characters and and timelines in the same way.

In the second episode, Prime and Megatron grow medieval energy weapons out of their hands to fight (Prime with an ax, Megatron with a ball and chain).

I'm looking forward to the movie.

[MattyBlade]

I thought the guy actor was the kid from malcom in the middle (reese) but then when i saw close ups i realized it was that unfunny guy from disney series's growing up.

Anyways, I hope that doesn't put a damper on anything as the movie looks pretty peeemp

i saw a "how it was made" sort of thing and it was just made me want to see it even more.

[planewreck]

This looks pretty bad and I'll probably get bored within the first hour but I'll still go see it.

[AA-12]

>:-o

[One Groovin Clown]

I'll see it eventually.

[Aria.]

well idk wtf is going on but u yanks normally get movies way before us but this came out like a week ago sorry to break it to u bros

anyway i saw it on friday and it was ok with some nice hot chicks good to hear an australian accent

anyway it was ok til like the last hour or so when it went to the big battle and then it was just action and exploding and it was the most boring shi i ever seen

[Strum]

yeah it came out over here about 5 days ago (what ben said)

and 2 days isn't long i been waiting about a year :I

[Hbp]

Back when It was BeastWars, I had all the toys and taped all the shows.

[Kage]

Beast Wars was a different show altogether.

[Eliminator]

lol

[Mr. Ron]

Beast wars was amazing.

[Pseudo1]

I saw it friday and it was pretty average. For a 2 and a half hour movie, it had absolutely no substance. Other than Prime, the rest of the transformers were pretty much unnecessary, it had half a story and an weak ending.

I hate Michael Bay though.

[Kage]

Beast wars was amazing.

Yes.

[British Kid]

even though Beast Wars was different, it was still very good.

much better writing than the original transformers cartoon, and the computer animation was pretty neat, even though it fell short of pixar quality.

[bradc1988]

I was going to watch it with some friends last Friday but I slept in.

I think I'm gunna see it tomorrow though.

[Squirrel]

Transformers were in BeastWars, the last 2 episodes at least.


The first couple of series of Transformers were pretty lame like someone said earlier, but they sorted it out after that. Initially the plots didnt make sense, random people appeared and disappeared etc.

[Liberi Fatali]

Saw the movie last saturday.

Sure the plot got thrown out the window towards the end, there were cheesy moments, some bad acting and at times it was just completely unrealistic (I wish I could jump off a motorbike and slide along the road on my back with no damage to myself or my clothing).

But overall I loved it, highly worth watching.

[StreetlightRock]

^ my sentiments exactly. Michael Bay also made The Rock, which is basically my favorite action movie ever, so yea. Although Armageddon... wtf?

[Zakath]

http://www.meganfoxy.com/wallpaper/images/megan-fox-fhm-wp-1024.jpg

[StreetlightRock]

I like her eyes.











Yeah.

[Kage]

Shes's a little too thin.

[DeckerDontPlay]

A little Biscuits-N-Gravy, would fit her nicely. Very beautiful girl in all seriousness.Starved by hollywood...shame.

[Hbp]

Beast Wars was also better in that They Morphed from animals into robots, instead of Vehicles, like in Tranformers.

[A Dead Modernist]

She looks fine.

[planewreck]

The more I read up on it, the worse this movie looks.

[AA-12]

She's pretty ugly.

I can't wait for this :D

[Kage]

I'm boycotting this movie.

[FakePlasticTrees]

Yum.

[StreetlightRock]

I'm boycotting this movie.

I'm boycotting you :angry:

[JumpTheF**kUp]

Watching this on Thursday hopefully. :D

[Hbp]

I might be seeing it tonite.

[Giga]

I'm boycotting this movie.

why

[Gnarmageddon]

I'm boycotting this movie.
I'm sure millions will join you.

[A Dead Modernist]

Some hella gay movies coming out this week.

[Iscariot]

the cartoons never had much of a stable storyline and this movie is directed by michael bay plus josh has terrible taste in movies/women/pretty much everything so this movie probably blows

i'll just wait for the dvd

[Tyrant21]

the cartoons never had much of a stable storyline and this movie is directed by michael bay plus josh has terrible taste in movies/women/pretty much everything so this movie probably blows

i'll just wait for the dvd

haha, agree with everything there, though it has gotten decent reviews last i checked, so maybe ill go see it after all

[MattyBlade]

http://www.meganfoxy.com/wallpaper/images/megan-fox-fhm-wp-1024.jpg

holy smokin hot

[Iscariot]

123

[Black Ink]

Very good movie.

[PshSam]

i think im diggin her *** alot :/

i might see it tommarow, but probably the next day considering tommarow is independence day

[Sound Boy]

i thought the british chick was hotter

but, yeah this was a great movie...not oscar worthy but one of the best blockbusters i've seen in years

[Kage]

i think im diggin her *** alot :/

Huh? She has no ***.

[Iscariot]

Huh? She has no ***.

here you go you obviously appreciate girls of larger dispositions:

http://www.steevven1.com/images/ghetto%20booty.jpg

[Hebrew Hammer]

I can't say I liked the movie at all. The special effects did impress me, but that was not nearly enough to make up for the many flaws of the film.

[Iskandar]

Looks terrible.

[A Dead Modernist]

Cute butt , perfect tits.

[samthebassman]

Megan Fox is probably the hottest chick ever.

Loved the new movie, loved the original movie & loved the original series.
Beast wars sucked.

[Pseudo1]

i thought the british chick was hotter

If you are talking about the blonde computer nerd... she was Aussie. Sweet, hot Aussie.

[samthebassman]

She definitly was not hotter though.

[Riziger]

Hmm for some reason i feel Megan looks a lot hotter in the show compared to when not, for example on the red carpet.

anyways, good movie, nice blend of comedy and action. Weird plot with many holes but it's a blockbuster, buy some popcorn and enjoy it.

[samthebassman]

Agreed 100%.

[Strum]

that was the best action film i have ever seen

in my eyes Michael Bay has out done himself, brilliant film.

not once in two and a half hours was i bored or disappointed by it, it was just an all round awesome movie

[myassitches]

I like her ***.











Yeah.

/fixed

i'm going to see it tonight.

i remember pissing some kid off because i said "you know what i need to get me a decepticon prime doll; that would be an awesome collector item."

then he started ranting about it. saying that it was non-existent. i was just kidding though. i probably know more **** about pokemon than transformers, since i grew up in the 90's.

[Pseudo1]

Sorry, but to me Michael Bay destroys everything he touches.

[samthebassman]

He definitly didnt destroy this one, most of his other work is garbage though.

[3074326]

I think that the problem with this movie is that people are taking it way too seriously.

It was funny. The people who made it had fun with it, I'm glad because I had fun watching it. I thought it was great.

Megan Fox FTWWWWWWWWWWW

[myassitches]

man... megatron was such a racist. he killed the black autobot.

[DeckerDontPlay]

Megan Fox FTWWWWWWWWWWW

Only reason I would bother to see this movie. Is it worth it?

[Jawaharal]

holy crap, just saw this and its the best thing evar. So much awesome action.

[samthebassman]

Only reason I would bother to see this movie. Is it worth it?

YES

[HNLzero]

Megan Fox is a fox.

That is all.

[3074326]

Only reason I would bother to see this movie. Is it worth it?

Yes.

Rachael Taylor is nice too. :D

Movie itself is solid entertainment. Just don't expect an epic masterpiece. Considering it's a movie based on a kids' cartoon from the 80s, it's good.

[Seafroggys]

I saw it on the 4th. It was awesome. Some of the action sequences were hard to focus on and concentrate on (too much blurred closeup shots) but it kicked ***. Yeah I love that main chic, though she should gain a few pounds.

[samthebassman]

Nope, she is perfect.

[pbandjelly]

i just came back from watching this movie, and it blew me away. I grew up in the 90s, so i was a mega transformer fan. i mean, who wasn't? i had practically all the toys that came out and stuff. When i heard about this movie, i was really excited, but i didn't go watch it on the first day because of the ridiculous lines and i didn't want throngs of screaming children yelling out "is that a good guy or bad guy" everytime they see a robot. I read up on some websites, and saw that many people didn't think too highly of it. I've never heard of micheal bay or seen any of his films, so i walked into that theater unbiased.

I was totally blown away when i came out: the special effects were super awesome, and thats what i came there to see. A lot of people complained that the plot line was a bit spotty, which it was. But its a movie based on a 80's cartoon about giant transforming fighting robots..how much story do you need? Personally, if it had been the other way around, with mediocre effects and a good story i wouldn't have watched it. I thought the story about the allspark and stuff was convincing enough, and i can't stress how awesome the effects and robot animation was.

it wasn't just action though, there were a few moments of humor although at times it seemed a bit forced. it was very fast paced, and kept me to the edge of my seat the whole time. there were a few drawbacks though, such as not giving the robots enough character development. Out of the decepticons, only starscream, barricade, frenzy, and megatron talk, and the only autobots that talk a lot are optimus and ironhide. Plus i don't understand why they tried to develop some of the human characters, such as the lieutanant guy..personally i don't really care if he's married and has a baby..i just want to see robots fight. they should have had the robots talk and interact more. The director did a really good job with bumblebee though, that part near the end really made me feel sad.

so overall this movie was awesome, and i can't wait until it comes out on DVD so i can buy it. oh and megan fox is a super special added bonus :]

[Dave de Sylvia]

I've been waiting for this movie since I was like 5. The script was terrible and Michael Bay is a giant faggot but it kicked *** nonetheless.

[samthebassman]

Yes, Yes, Yes...

[Jawaharal]

are you ladiesman217!!!!!!

[HNLzero]

I smell a gimmick account of that soon

[Dave de Sylvia]

I smell me banning that gimmick account before it's even created.

[stevensonmat2]

I have to say, I was dissapointed they didn't do a rendition of the original theme song for the movie. Also, about half way through the dialouge went to shiiiiit. The first half's dialouge was really funny, but then it just stopped making sense/started being cheeesey as hell. Action could have been better as well, IMO.

[samthebassman]

The original theme was covered by Mute Math on the soundtrack and it was terrible.

[MattyBlade]

Optimus dies @ the end

[MattyBlade]

I think that the problem with this movie is that people are taking it way too seriously.

It was funny. The people who made it had fun with it, I'm glad because I had fun watching it. I thought it was great.

Megan Fox FTWWWWWWWWWWW

i heard that she has absolutely NO acting skills. I used to think she was mad hot too until I realized she has her boyfriends name tattoo'd right beside her landing strip.

Anyways, on a scale of 1 - 10 i give her a 7.5

[samthebassman]

I cant believe she is engaged to that douche from 90210.

[Kithkin]

I'm just glad they used the original megatron voice actor.

[Seafroggys]

I'm just glad they used the original megatron voice actor.

for the game. In the movie they used Hugo Weaving.

[Shadows]

It was funny. The people who made it had fun with it, I'm glad because I had fun watching it. I thought it was great.

Megan Fox FTWWWWWWWWWWW
Amen to that, my friend!

I was really surprised by how good the movie was. Some of the autobot dialogue was a tad cheesy but other than that 'twas all great.

[planewreck]

Megan Fox was picked for her navel, not her acting ability. This film was painful to watch.

It was just really, really bad.

[AA-12]

Go away.

I haven't even made it to see this :lol:

[planewreck]

I just don't get why we can't make satisfying action films that care about the characters or bestow upon them actual personalities or brains. I mean, I get that the film is here to show a bunch of robots and flashy effects, but at least treat the audience with something that isn't so lifeless and dull. I think it's insulting to the audience, not the film or filmmakers, when people say things like "If you don't go in expecting much..." or "You go in looking for a brainless action flick..." because don't we deserve better? I don't want to expect less from a film. I want to be entertained. I mean, I can like a really dumb flick every now and then (The Hot Chicken, Darkness Falls, etc.), but those films had a quirky charm and characters I came to like. They didn't set out to be good or any more than they are, and they worked for it. Michael Bay has no idea how to make an action film in that way.

[AA-12]

From what i've seen this is a great action movie with fantastic characters and script using them.

[planewreck]

...

[AA-12]

What?

[planewreck]

I'm sorry, my screen must be smudged because it looks like you said fantastic characters and script using them.

[AA-12]

Yes I did. Don't be such a jackass.

[planewreck]

Hurts. 8(

[Darkness]

I thought this movie was fantastic, I just saw it. I liked all of it, but I wanted to see a bigger fight between Optimus and Megatron at the end there. Oh well.

Totally agree with this. I should expect more from a movie that has such a huge canon to take inspiration from rather than have to come out saying, "well the effects were good..."

[DeckerDontPlay]

Im just glad the movie is finally out, now I dont have to see previews for it anymore.

[Smokey D]

From what i've seen this is a great action movie

Well, it's better than planereq is giving credit for, but it's not great.

with fantastic characters and script using them.

No, not at all.

[thomas is fast]

The CGI effects were cool, but I mean, it's a Transformers movie. It can't not be cheesy.

[Spiritofmosa]

i really liked this movie.. the effects are awesome and they managed to make this cheesy concept not so cheesy.

[Illmatic]

From what i've seen this is a great action movie with fantastic characters and script using them.

he's seen the movie and you haven't, maybe you should keep quiet.

anyway, I had no idea a movie with fighting robots and an All-American rack could be so boring. oh right, probably because it was way too long (there was no good reason to make it over two hours long), the action scenes sucked (the editing didn't help, but the fighting scenes were pretty boring and sterile anyway, just normal Michael Bay bullshit only with giant robots), the Transformers had about as much personality as one of James Bond's cars, and the human characters were pointless and went nowhere.

I don't think I expected too much; I just wanted to be entertained, and I wasn't. anyone who calls this a great action movie should go back and watch Predator or the first Die Hard and reconsider.

[Let's Chop Cats!]

Action was sweet and as long as you ignore the original, its a decent movie.

[Darkness]

^Exactly

And as for it being to long, even though it did feel long, I didn't think there was any particular scene they could have cut out.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I don't understand why people are criticising the characters? It's a world where robots from another planet land on earth to have fights in the middle of cities. True-to-life characters wouldn't make any sense. I liked that none of the movie's characters had personalities, it would have been boring if Bay had bothered developing them.

[Jawaharal]

I hated the Australian chick and that dumb black guy. They were so awful.

It was boring without Bay developing them anyway.

And that's pretty dumb logic; like I said before, why should the film's setting or plot make the characters any less prone to thinking and acting like people? True-to-life or not, they were annoying and detracted from the film a lot.

in any movie, the story is told through the characters. if the characters aren't interesting or engaging, it makes it hard for the viewer to care about what's happening in the movie.

I don't understand why you're giving filmmakers the license to completely slack off on all the important parts of making a good movie.

edit: and it's not like all the time Bay spent not developing the characters was put to good use, because the action scenes weren't even all that good anyway. it seems like most of the time and effort in this movie was put into computer graphics and advertising.

[fingers mccoy]

characters were charmless

being one-dimensional is cool with me but when the characters aren't even fun to look at it's just drudgery

[planewreck]

It'd be one thing if Bay acted like they were one-dimensional (all the black characters, while annoying and stereotypically played, were obviously there for nothing more than comedic relief), but he bathes them in melodrama (Duhamel has a kid waiting for him back home! See wife cry at his expense! Don't bring up subplot until lame, tacked on ending!).

[Dave de Sylvia]

And that's pretty dumb logic; like I said before, why should the film's setting or plot make the characters any less prone to thinking and acting like people? True-to-life or not, they were annoying and detracted from the film a lot.
Because if they'd thought and acted like real people they would have run away and nothing would have happened.

in any movie, the story is told through the characters. if the characters aren't interesting or engaging, it makes it hard for the viewer to care about what's happening in the movie.
That's a bit of an exaggeration. The characters were perfectly adequate for the plot, and don't even try to argue that John McClane or Terminator were "interesing and engaging."

[planewreck]

A) Just because they risk their lives and run around with robots to fight other robots doesn't mean they can't say things or act out emotions like anybody else.

B) They're helluvalot more interesting and engaging than anyone in Transformers. At least McClane had some semblance of charm and wit, and at least Predator had the kind of interesting set up to make Arnold's horrible acting tolerable and suited for the film.

Cheesy doesn't have to be moronic.

[Dave de Sylvia]

lmao you think John McClane is witty? He's a cartoon character, nothing he says or does in the movies even approximates real life. It's fair enough if you think the characters were boring, I didn't find anything wrong with them, but if anybody actually finds action movie characters to be "engaging" then they obviously operate on a higher plane of existence than I do.

[fingers mccoy]

john mcclane is amazing

It's not moronic. You guys just have something up your *** and seem to have massive/retarded expectations.

[planewreck]

Okay, now you're skimming over our responses.

Semblance of wit =/= witty.
Engaging =/= overtly smarter.

I can find a film like The Island "engaging" but that doesn't make it smarter or better. I didn't find Transformers "engaging" at all, as opposed to Die Hard or other films of its ilk.

Well I was referring to Illmatic's criticism that the characters weren't engaging, which I assumed you agreed with since you took the point on. The argument is deertailing a bit and we're probably not going to get anywhere with it, but I just think your criticism of the characters holds true for the entire genre.

John McClane is god and the Terminator has the best personality out of any action hero ever.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Well God was never renowned for his wittiness either.

[Tyrant21]

It's not moronic. You guys just have something up your *** and seem to have massive/retarded expectations.

go watch the movie then come join the argument

it was decent enough, nothing amazing by any means, but the dialogue sucked and it seemed like it could have used some more editing time.

as for the john mcclane issue, he played the part perfectly. if you're talking about lack of depth from characters in the first die hard though, you need to stfu, alan rickman played one of the most interesting villains of all time in that movie

[AA-12]

I'll watch it soon. I know my opinion will be the same.

[Tyrant21]

maybe you should be a movie critic...

[AA-12]

Okay.

I know this isn't going to hold true with a lot of people, but Tom Cruise seemed pretty genuine and had some amount of depth in the Mission Impossible series, most notably the last one. Kill Bill, which was, in essence, a paper thin plot perfect for an action film, made Beatrix Kiddo a multi-dimensional action hero. Children of Men, by definition alone, was a sci-fi action thriller, more poignant for its characters and their plight then any of the special effects or action sequences could attest for, even though they were all superb.

I just think you're writing off the genre too quick and giving in to easily to just let Transformers lack of any sort of depth because it's fit "for the genre," which has many staples that would say otherwise.

[AA-12]

This is a very odd statement.

Explain, please.

[stevensonmat2]

What part of the movie did you see wotan? I know during the first half I thought the movie was kicking asss, but then about half way through it just went to hell.

[AA-12]

A mix of fighting/talking/etc stuff. Basically a fan made trailer type of deal.

[Zakath]

I hated the Australian chick and that dumb black guy. They were so awful.

Anthony Anderson is awesome. Watch The Shield for a significantly different role.

What's your point?

[fingers mccoy]

i dont like lookin at her she's got that gay wannabe pout crap going on

[planewreck]

What's your point?
You reiterating your point that you're going to cum in your pants the second the credits start is pointless, seeing as your history with films of its ilk leads us to believe that you'll get your rocks off to it.

[planewreck]

that chick was pretty fun to look at you faggot, go suck a dick
ok but see when a girl is that dumb and trying to deliver the simplest of lines and failing, it takes away most of what makes it fun to look at her.

Still not seeing your point. I know i'm going to love it, so what?

Those "ten minutes of film" aren't meant to be shown in that order or spliced together so as a representation of the film, it's about as worthless as a trailer of a film. You can tell if you think the film will be good or not, but doesn't mean you can warrant a full opinion on it off it. Telling us you saw ten minutes of the film when in actuality you saw some trailer kind of nullifies whatever you're trying to dissuade us of.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. The characters were perfectly adequate for the plot, and don't even try to argue that John McClane or Terminator were "interesing and engaging."

they obviously were on some level, because Die Hard and Terminator were damn good movies.

and also, "interesting and engaging" don't necessarily mean "realistic".

edit: Wotan: watching ten minutes of a two hour movie is like listening to a 30 second itunes clip of a song; you might like it, but it doesn't always give you the best idea of what the real thing is like

[Pseudo1]

Not all of them...

Trailers are generally a good example of the whole.
The Hills Have Eyes 2 had an awesome teaser, a lesser but still promising trailer, and the film turned out to be abysmal.

[AA-12]

I haven't seen it so i'm not sure. The first remake was very good though.

[PshSam]

ok but see when a girl is that dumb and trying to deliver the simplest of lines and failing, it takes away most of what makes it fun to look at her.

heard of porno? :naughty:

[planewreck]

okay but who watches porn where they talk?

[PshSam]

sausage pizza?

edit: i get what you mean haha.

[Tyrant21]

I haven't seen it so i'm not sure. The first remake was very good though.

the first was pretty awful i thought but i dont like those kind of movies too much anyways.

but people are getting on you because you admittedly haven't seen the movie and are trying to give an opinion on it already. you cant just say, I know I will like it as justification for you to say whether or not it's good.

that said, you probably will like it, you tend to be a fan of over-hyped or otherwise unfulfilling movies

[AA-12]

that said, you probably will like it, you tend to be a fan of over-hyped or otherwise unfulfilling movies

Haha, you don't even have a clue about my taste in movies. It's just that most movies brought up here are bigger ones that I like.

[Zakath]

The Hills Have Eyes 2 had an awesome teaser

:lol: :lol:
Your opinion is worthless.

[PshSam]

:lol: :lol:
Your opinion is worthless.

2nded, that looked horrible in the truest form of horrible.

[AmericanWeiner]

I want to put a shotgun in the australian girl's mouth and blow her brains out.

She pissed me off so badly. I wanted to kill her every time she was on screen.

[PshSam]

pix, who is she?

[AmericanWeiner]

I dont even know. Pics won't do it justice. You have to see her try to talk.

[planewreck]

:lol: :lol:
Your opinion is worthless.
I'm talking about the one where the camera is tied down and then dragged along after you see another body being dragged along. It mercifully left out anything remotely related to the film in terms of story or plot and was generally creepy and effective. Why this makes my opinion worthless because I liked the teaser and not the actual film in question is really stupid.

[PshSam]

I dont even know. Pics won't do it justice. You have to see her try to talk.

im intrigued is she just plain retarded or what?

[AmericanWeiner]

no its like the most extreme, plastic, jaw stretching, speech impediment australian accent I've ever heard

it's like her mouth moves more than it should for the amount of noise shes making or soemthing

[planewreck]

She also does not know how to respond in crisis.

[Tyrant21]

Haha, you don't even have a clue about my taste in movies. It's just that most movies brought up here are bigger ones that I like.

and no one else likes, and no offense but it's hard to consider you having anything resembling good taste when you are trying to say how awesome a movie is that you havent even seen

[AA-12]

and no one else likes,
Huh?
and no offense but it's hard to consider you having anything resembling good taste when you are trying to say how awesome a movie is that you havent even seen
Just for the sake of understanding my taste, list some of your favorite movies and i'll tell you my thoughts on them.

stop trying to explain your utterly retarded taste. it was neither creepy nor effective, just a really dumb teaser for an ever dumber movie.

[Lee Mangano]

Im not a huge Transformer fan...but I think they are kind of cool...& the effects in this movie look great...

My original band "NRG" performed "Instruments of Destruction" on the 1st Transformers Movie soundtrack in 1987 (animated.)

Some TF Fan YOU TUBED us with the new Trailor...

Thanks man...I do miss those days.., I wish we were in this new film too !!! It's kickin butt in the box office. There are alot of siskel & Eberts on this forum, I was actually afraid to post it !!!

[Hebrew Hammer]

Transformers>all

Everyone please stop doing this ^^^

[planewreck]

oh ok because i do not like transformers and happened to like this teaser i have utterly retarded taste.

thank you for clarifying.

[Lee Mangano]

Everyone please stop doing this ^^^


Hebrew what exactley do you want us to stop doing?...Posting threads you are not interested in ????...I don't get it...simply change the channel man !!!!!

[3074326]

He wants people to stop saying Transformers>All.

That's why he quoted it. ;)

[samthebassman]

But that's the way it is.

[planewreck]

That's one of the dumbest things you've ever said. :/

How did you get the gig on the soundtrack?

Was instruments of destruction specifically written for the movie?

[Virus278]

it really suprises me that so many people thought this was a great movie. After I finished watching it I thought "man, this movie's going to be a big let down for a lot of people" and right after the movie finished the guy sitting behind me said in a really loud voice "Man! That movie was awesome!". I kinda laughed at that but it just kept going from there. Almost everyone who I've talked thinks it was an awesome movie. IDK, makes no sense to me...

[fingers mccoy]

same here

[samthebassman]

If I wasnt a transformers freak I wouldn't like the new movie.

But Iam so I think it is badass even though it has some massive faults.

Love is blind.

[3074326]

Every movie has people who think it's a let down. Transformers is no different.

[Kage]

Every movie has people who can't wait to proclaim how much of a let down it is, even way before the movie even comes out. There are just those people you know don't wan to like it.

[Strum]

Ahahahaha, that's amazing

http://www.ifilm.com/video/2772918

i made that last year

[Mr. Ron]

I'm seeing this tomorrow.

[samthebassman]

Im going to see it again tonight.

[Lee Mangano]

How did you get the gig on the soundtrack?

One of the members of our management co. was networking my band "NRG" & met with the VP of Scotti Bros./CBS Records and played out demo. I think he if I remember correctly...it was the 80's you know!!!

him saying we were a few days late, but liked 1 of our other songs that would fit in "Cobra" w/ Sylvester Stallone....but the Song "Instruments of Destruction" words fit perfect for the up & coming animated movie "Transformers" ... we almost missed the deadline for that too...had to actually FED EX overnight the masters.

The song was written long before the moviethe & words were actually co-written by the guitar players friend & girlfriend. and the band wrote the music & our singer Les kicked the living crap out of the words...

In my bias oppinion, one of the most dynamic & powerful endings I ever heard.
thanks for your interest...were all old, fat & bald now, but still pretty excited we were involved with the whole Transformers thing...

[Tillius]

Saw it tonight finally.

Liked it.

[Hbp]

Gahhh, such hottness in one female.

The original soundtrack is pretty much the soundtrack to my childhood, so much great (and cheesy) music on it, "Instruments of Destruction" seemed to fit the movie well.

Who cares about the fat & bolding thing, we will all be there one day.

[Dinosawesome]

The script was nothing special and the story wasn't incredible but the visual effects is on a different level to anything I've ever seen.

That alone makes it an awesome movie. Anyone who disagrees with me is a retarded fag who needs to drink a litre of coolant fluid.

EDIT: Also, http://www.meganfoxy.com/wallpaper/images/megan-fox-fhm-wp-1024.jpg

yum

[samthebassman]

Just saw it again, I love it.

[JumpTheF**kUp]

Oh man, I watched it just then and DAMN.


I would watch it again. And again. And again.


I almost cried when Bumblebee got taken :'(

[samthebassman]

How about when Jazz got ripped in half by Megatron, that was ****ed up.

[JumpTheF**kUp]

I felt more of an emotional connection to Bumblebee tbh.

The funniest thing though was that there was a 7 year old sitting in my row, 2 seats from me, and during the scene where the mum goes to Sam, "Were you masturbating?", the girl said (really loudly) "Masturbating? What's that?" to her mother.

IT WAS SO ****ING FUNNY

[samthebassman]

Haha, I really didnt expect that humour from the movie.

[Hedgedive]

Haha, I really didnt expect that humour from the movie.

it really did have some funny moments.

I lol'd when Sam's dad gave him knucks.

[JumpTheF**kUp]

The black dude was the funniest.

Wasn't he the same guy from Harold and Kumar, the dude who worked at the burger joint?

But yeah, it was funnier than I expected it to be.

And Megan Fox is ****ing hot, so yeah, BIG plus there.

[samthebassman]

Black dude? Bernie Mac?

[JumpTheF**kUp]

No, the hacker kid. The one who ate all of the doughnuts.

[samthebassman]

Ahh, that fat ****, was he on Me, Myself & Irene?

[JumpTheF**kUp]

Probably, I haven't seen it.


Anyways, I liked Transformers a lot.


/end communication

[Lee Mangano]

I still havn't seen it yet...but all the feedback in this forum & about ...I havn't been this excited since the opening of the 1st animated Transformers Movie,

We were at a party with some of the actors at Studio 54 in New York the record company put on..memories !!!! This picture with Robert Stack is from the singer Les's website...I actually got these 2 guys to fight at the party...

http://www.area403.net/rstack.jpg

[samthebassman]

Nice.

Just got the PS2 game, not bad...

[A Spoonful Supreme]

movie sucked, wasnt engaging it all the story was so bad you just didn't give a **** about the characters their situations and abilities were so contrived

[samthebassman]

Anyone else got the game?

[Darkness]

I heard it was kind of meh. Can you confirm that?

[samthebassman]

Yeah, kinda...

[exodus]

.....you actually bought the game?

[samthebassman]

Yep.

[Darkness]

Seems like the kinda game you'd just rent if you were that interested... :lol:

[exodus]

I heard it was kind of meh
Yep.

Well now you know, game adaptations of movies suck ***, and there is no "no matter...", it blows **** period.

[samthebassman]

Im a Transformers nerd though, I had to have it.

[Darkness]

Actually I thought the Lord Of The Rings games were rather fun.

[planewreck]

Haha, I really didnt expect that humour from the movie.
because juvenile, sexual humor in a film aimed squarely at the teenage boy market is completely unexpected.

[samthebassman]

Was it aimed squarely at a teenage boy market? Remember the whole Transformer concept is based on kids toys and a kids TV show.

[exodus]

Im a Transformers nerd though, I had to have it.

Its okay :D, I'm the same way about Beast Wars

[Darkness]

Beast Wars was so awesome. That'd be a killer movie.

[planewreck]

Was it aimed squarely at a teenage boy market? Remember the whole Transformer concept is based on kids toys and a kids TV show.
just because 8 year olds are going to show up doesn't mean that the company is hoping to get as much as they can get out of the 11-16 age market. sexual humor is going to be prevalent. the film is PG-13.

[exodus]

Beast Wars was so awesome. That'd be a killer movie.

LOL

.....can't even picture it

Anyways, **** yeah, it was immortal compared to the original Transformers series

[Pop music sucks]

o.m.f.g.

This movie was awesome. I loved seeing the Transformers duke it out in the city at that final battle.

Was there anything else that happened at the end credits, besides Witwicky's parent's talking about government secrets and Starscream blasting off into space?

[AA-12]

About the game: It's really good.

[3074326]

Was there anything else that happened at the end credits, besides Witwicky's parent's talking about government secrets and Starscream blasting off into space?

No, that was it.

[Dinosawesome]

So is Starscreams escape mean a sequel?

[samthebassman]

Possibly, nothing is set in stone yet but everyone involved was made to sign contracts to make a sequel if the studio chose to make one.

[Darkness]

That would be kind of neat, but I really don't think it'll be as good. The parts where you're introduced to the characters and what not help make this one good, and the next one if having mostly the same characters would probably end up being boring.

[samthebassman]

There were only 5 autobots & about 6 or 7 deceptiocons in the first movie so I would imagine they would introduce a whole new bunch of transformers into a sequel.

[Dinosawesome]

Exactly, there is a whole Transformers Universe to go through.

But still, I've never been a huge fan of sequals, in my opinion, most movies hit classics by a stroke of luck- and usually they aren't lucky to do that twice in a row =/

[exodus]

Coulda had a little bit more of Starscream

[descendents1]

Coulda had a little bit more of intelligence. I guess it's inappropriate to call it an awful film, though it was awful, but it sure had amazing visuals. The script was miserable. "I'd bet my ridiculous salary..." that this movie could have any script and succeed.

[planewreck]

Exactly, there is a whole Transformers Universe to go through.

But still, I've never been a huge fan of sequals, in my opinion, most movies hit classics by a stroke of luck- and usually they aren't lucky to do that twice in a row =/
In that case, bring on a sequel.



except don't because it'll be just as bad

[bradc1988]

Watched it the other day...great!

[Darkness]

There were only 5 autobots & about 6 or 7 deceptiocons in the first movie so I would imagine they would introduce a whole new bunch of transformers into a sequel.

I was referring to the human characters... hardly any of the actual transformers characters were developed at all.

[samthebassman]

True. I think a sequel would work well though.

[descendents1]

True. I think a sequel would work well though.

Please elaborate.

[exodus]

True. I think a sequel would work well though.

How? Megatron dies, along with Jazz, Blackout, and Devastator. Starscream's the only decepticon on the loose.

[StreetlightRock]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvatron

Bit of allspark let

+

Decpticon base (supposedly) under the sea

+

lotsandlotsandlots more decipticons/autobots to put in

+

just for fun

[samthebassman]

Yes, Yes, Yes!!!

[samthebassman]

How? Megatron dies, along with Jazz, Blackout, and Devastator. Starscream's the only decepticon on the loose.

You sound like you never saw the original Transformers series, there are butt loads of Autobot/Decepticon characters for the writers to call on.

[Aficionado]

Megan Fox is...one of the most beautiful looking people I've ever seen.

[exodus]

You sound like you never saw the original Transformers series, there are butt loads of Autobot/Decepticon characters for the writers to call on.

Its obvious quite pointless without Megatron

[samthebassman]

Galvatron takes over from Megatron as decepticon leader in the original movie.

[Aficionado]

Man,

Transformers is such an extensive series. It's honestly hard to keep up with it.

[samthebassman]

Yeah, spin-off's everywhere.

[Strum]

How? Megatron dies, along with Jazz, Blackout, and Devastator. Starscream's the only decepticon on the loose.

It could go like it did in the cartoon series when Starscream takes off and build his own army of transformers

plus his love of Megatron could lead him to rebuilding himself in megatrons form

The next film would see the likes of the autobots intergrating into the US society and workforce (Constructacons were awesome and a massive franchise years ago)

http://images.dailytech.com/nimage/2586_constcat1.jpg



and just maybe, the next movie could see the autobots evolve into beasts :eek:

[Seafroggys]

Megan Fox is...one of the most beautiful looking people I've ever seen.

Indeed.

Someone at my work kinda looks like her.....which is a good thing :naughty:

Bad thing is....she's 17.
