TX3RN0BILL 3 Posted July 24, 2007 You betcha, Revvin! Good old Orion Pax... err... Optimus Prime is there! :yes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Revvin 1 Posted July 24, 2007 Watched Harry Potter tonight, decent film but there was a good trailer for Transformers, an extended version of one I'd seen before which included Optimus Prime in it :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Revvin 1 Posted July 26, 2007 Saw the film tonight WOW! Best film this year IMO, amazing special effects and good to see they didn't just blow the budget on 15 minutes of special effect laden action it was great all the way through, great film well worth watching!

JediMaster 451 Posted July 27, 2007 Yeah, it was definitely my biggest "pleasant surprise" this summer, followed by Die Hard 4. Both of those I expected to think weren't that good, but they were. On the flip side, I was disappointed by what I thought were the "sure" things: Spidey 3, Shrek 3, Pirates 3. Not that I hated them, I was just expecting more.

eraser_tr 29 Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) Except for that secret government guy. They should have cut him from the script entirely. Then my only real complaint would be Primes lame intro speach and long nosed cab (and Jazz ). Edited July 27, 2007 by eraser_tr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not that I hated them, I was just expecting more. I was looking forward to it but had a feeling it might be a little bit of a letdown as you tend to build films before watching them but this was just a great action flick from start to finish. Spidey 3 was ok, Shrek 3 was funny but maybe not as good as the original and Pirates 3 was a big dissapointment to me. Megan Fox....hubba hubba!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then my only real complaint would be Primes lame intro speach and long nosed cab (and Jazz ). Yeah he was a bit silly, perhaps more light entertainment because up until the appearance of Optimus Prime the film had an adult feel to it (no not that kind of adult! get you're minds out of the gutter! ) The bit where they are outside the boys home was a little camp, hiding from the parents but it was a really enjoyable film with gasps and laughs drawn from the audience I was part of.

TX3RN0BILL 3 Posted July 27, 2007 Then my only real complaint would be Primes lame intro speach and long nosed cab (and Jazz ). I think they had to use a long-nosed cab out of necessity - a cab without a nose like G1 Optimus Prime would supposedly not have enough mass to hide all that Optimus Prime was supposed to be in his glorious robot mode... As for Jazz, I don't know, but I never liked him, not in G1, and never later even, so I can perfectly live with his short-lived goofing around in this movie... There had to be one Autobot which wouldn't survive, and Jazz fit that role perfectly I think... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eraser_tr 29 Posted July 27, 2007 But of all the G1 autobots who were slaughtered in the animated movie, jazz was pretty much the only survivor besides bumblebee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TX3RN0BILL 3 Posted July 27, 2007 But of all the G1 autobots who were slaughtered in the animated movie, jazz was pretty much the only survivor besides bumblebee. I know... I would have preferred Wheeljack to have survived instead of Jazz, a zillion times over... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk MMS 0 Posted July 28, 2007 They only killed the G1 characters to market their crap follow up characters for Hasbro. We were scammed as kids. That movie marked the end of transformers as far as I was concerned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eraser_tr 29 Posted July 28, 2007 I know... I would have preferred Wheeljack to have survived instead of Jazz, a zillion times over... Or Ironhide, or Brawn, or......Optimus Prime Especially when we don't have the slightest explanation for Wheeljack, just a half desaturated body in all of 3 frames in autobot city. The least they could have done was sign on the movie voice actors for the next season of the series...but then again, who really likes Leonard Nemoy or Robert Stack( cue the start of airplane jokes!)

Hawk MMS 0 Posted July 29, 2007 With re: to the unknown trailer with the explosion and statue of liberty getting her head ripped off...

The best of newest G movies is Godzilla vs. Megaguirus IMHO. Second is the newest Godzilla against MechaGodzilla. Falcon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MigBuster 2,884 Posted August 5, 2007 I'm off to watch it Thursday with some friends who all remember the cartoons :) I've purposely not read the entire thread in case of spoilers but can you tell me if Optimus Prime is in it? :D Transformers without Optimus Prime - dont think so! Finally saw it yesterday - although I could see all the car and Military marketing the film is right up there in the Independence Day/JurrassicPark/Star Wars type family blockbuster. The action and effects had me on the edge of my seat - some feat these days - can see why the kids must love it - I certainly did. Also who would have thought - an AC130 Spectre Gunship - great stuff! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
