Im pretty open minded and can understand you having an opinion and not liking the movie. Fine maybe it just didnt suit your taste, but to say that it was utter shit i mean thats a little ridiculous. Even if you didnt like it you have to be impressed with the CGI and the action sequences which is enough to make it at the very least entertaining. In my opinion (which i know doesnt mean shit to you, but im gonna tell you anyway) I thought this movie was out of control good. The acting was a little better than average, the script was good, the FX were awesome, it was funny as hell, but it was the actual Transformers that did it for me. Each of them had such a cool personality, and they were so insane looking. 10/10 for me.
Frenzy wasn't bad. After seeing it a 2nd time he kind of reminded me of Ravage (the way he moved), and Laser Beak. Plus he ignited the old hatred I had for both spy tapes when I was a kid.
Jazz I was PISSED. Not at the characterization (although, He was 2nd in command under Prime on Earth in G1 just in case noone remembered) I actually liked the attitude.
But at the fact that he died (arguably) the worst death in the Movie.
He was the coolest Transformer on screen next to Prime and Bumble Bee (I was skepticle but they made it work), and had THE COOLEST trasnformation animation out of every body.
Not to mention he was the ONLY one that wanted to go get Bumble Bee.
Rachet was a BUM.
Who did he fix?
Iron Hide was a BUSTER (I had a problem with his voice/ came off Wolverineish).
After all that "Gun" talk did he shoot, hit, and kill anybody?
Devastator was a tank.
and his left arm (Bone Crusher) was the huge millitary construction vehicle

no. i require a decent plot to be entertained. im not easily ooh'd and aaah'd by cgi. i realise that im a minority in that respect, but still doesnt change my opinion.
im sure i would be. the point i made was throwing out baseless and irrelevant accusations to discredit an opinion. so no, i dont think you're a bay fanboy. now you understand the point i was making, im sure

Don't mind PVS, he gets prissy when he doesn't get his head.
I thought this movie was fvcking off the wall fantastic, 10/10.
The action was great, the acting was good, and the actors were good choice (Did anyone else find the girl to actually be pretty hot?).
What really got me was how human they made the Autobots seem at times, it was hilarious the way they were [SPOILER - highlight to read]: hiding outside the house from the parents.
And as for the action I guess one of my favorite parts was when [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Starscream intercepted the F-22's and started taking them out one by one, each time pretending to be part of the squadron.
OMG!!! How do you post spoilers like that??!!! I have something to post but cannot figure out how to do it without spoiling the movie. I'm dying!!! LOL

This is the best movie of the summer, tied with 300 for best movie of the year (so far) and watching it was the best time I've had in a theatre since the premier of Revenge of the Sith.
OK, did anyone else notice in the above scene that [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Starscream became one of the jets and helped kill Megatron? Or was that just me hoping for nostalgia?

-Frenzy was still not anything like his original adaptation and was made into a lil oddball Jar-Jar Binx-esque character. Not to the point I wish he was out of the film, but his new depiction wasn't loyal to the original at all. I give it a pass because I know Bay couldn't pull this off being 100% loyal, it's a personal taste issue.
-Being a 27 year old African American male myself I have no problem with the character being voiced by a brotha. However, the original Jazz from the cartoon was more akin to Ozone from the Breakin' films (streetwise, yet mello) than the 50 Cent-esque depiction in the new film (hot-headed, foul mouthed street cat). Granted, it's now 2007, but the disparity between the old persona and the newer adaptation is striking, and there's a full spectrum of persona's within my demographic they could have pulled from, particularly considering Jazz was a peaceful autobot. Hell, his main weapon was his sound system in the original cartoon.
-Devastator was the codename of the tank Decepticon (who is actually supposed to be named "Brawl"). He even said as much when the Decepticon's had a role call after Frenzy had located the Allspark and Starscream had the Decepticons check in for duty.
But you know that because you saw the same film...

Now, to say that Transformers is the greatest movie ever made is quite bold. Maybe it's true, maybe it isn't, but when I left the theatre after seeing Transformers, I left that theater feeling totally satisfied. I couldn't wait to call my best friend who now lives in another state and explain to him that this movie brought me back to the times when he and I would wait in line for hours to see T-2, or the first Batman, back when Summer blockbusters truly delivered. Now, I've seen Die Hard 4, Spider-Man 3, Pirates 3, and the Fantastic Four 2, as well as Transformers, but Transformers was the only Summer blockbuster that totally delivered, it's the only Summer blockbuster that I will go see again while it's still in theaters. I'll at least see it one more time, probably two, then I'll buy the DVD. Of course the movie is formulaic, of course it's unrealistic, but I didn't think about that while watching it because going into it you know it's about a bunch of toys made by Hasbro, so with that disclaimer I was able to ease my seat back, smack on my popcorn and go for an awesome ride. I put this movie up there with Empire Strikes Back and the first Die Hard, as far as action/adventure goes. I was truly swept away. I even got teary eyed when Optimus Prime spoke a few times and [SPOILER - highlight to read]: when Bumble Bee was being tortured. I loved Transformers. The characters were also perfect. Shia LeBouf is a great actor, they couldn't go wrong with him. He had me convinced back when he was Louis Steven in Even Stevens. The cameos and gags were perfect too, Bernie Mac . . . hilarious, that kid with the video camera who says [SPOILER - highlight to read]: "This blows Armageddon away!" . . . omg, I totally lol'd. Transformers is the perfect blend of everything a Summer blockbuster should be. It more than meets the eye, it touches the heart strings as well.
from the old cartoon i thought Jazz and IronHide sounded like cowboys but i probably mentioned that before, Im pretty sure i say Brawl as the name of the tank....and ill agree with the Frenzy being the jar jar of TFs in the film. but like i said before he did play a key role
