Invite for G1 to vent their frustrations at the new movie

Post by **Ultra Magnus** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 7:48 pm

Ok, I have now seen it a second time and have to say that my original feelings about the Michael Bay-ness of the movie hold true. 2 minutes of action because, after all, in an hour or two, we might need a plot...30 minutes of subplot..2 minutes of action 40 mintues of subplot..Finally, a robot on robot fight, which we don't get to see, as we see the comic relief scuffle instead...40 more minutes, at least 10 of which are actually devoted to ther main plot, and finally another robot on robot fight.. 15 more minutes, and one huge fight at the end.

This is a great formula, if you are a Michael Bay movie fan. As for me, when I think of the Bay, I think of the smell of dead fish!!!

Edit to add: For a more complete breakdown of my feelings, if you have seen the movioe already (this means stay out, Mark!), see the Movie Spoiler, Do you like it thread!

I hate to say it Magnus, but did you even transform in the original movie?

I was just expecting a movie with a bunch of Transformers, and some humans thrown in. Not a movie about a bunch of humans, with a few Transformers thrown in!

I saw the movie last saturday. Im pleased that it went for 2.5 hours, i didnt get bored at all, bumblebee kix a$$. The only thing i found a little irritating was a cuple of the fight were a little to frantic dus to the closeness of the camera to the action ( hard to see whats goin on i mean ) But that did add a little more suspense to the scenes anyway so im not realy complaining. Oh and TT, magnus did transorm in the original movie, i think in autobot city before springer and arcee transform the city

Magnus Transforms twice. He arrives in transporter form then turns to robot to talk to Perceptor and Springer and ther rest. Dishes out his orders then Transforms back to truck mode and leves with Blurr to "Alert the others"

It doesn't matter if I get to see someone transform, if my movie dollar is spent to see big robots involved in battles. As long as I get to see the big robots, that is.

A bit of a swipe at the new movie there Magnus?

Post by **Ultra Magnus** » Fri Jul 13, 2007 3:15 pm

I swear, I have no clue what you mean by that, Megatron.

I mean if someone were to make a two and a half hour long movie called the Transformers, you would just think they would have the transformers on screen as much as possible....

Why do you think that my words would have a deeper meaning?

I got the impressin that you felt you didn't see enough of the tfs. Having not yet graced the movie with my presence I cannot pass judgement. But believe me.....I will.

[sarcasm] No, Megatron, the new snazzy Michael Bey movie left me feeling overwhelmed by how much the tf's were on the screen. He may actually need to cut that back, if he wants to do a sequel[/sarcasm]

(In other words

means I do not necessarilly mean what was in that last sentence)

I agree with galvatron... You WILL NOT be disappointed! AWESOME movie! People just nitpick too much. Simple as that.

Galvatron/Three D you have put my mind at rest, thanks!

Yeah its good. Definately something ive been waiting to see. It re-kindled my dormant interest in TF's and the cast was good. By the the way thanx is due to Arcee for my awesome avatar

Commander Megatron · Post by **Commander Megatron** » Sat Jul 14, 2007 10:04 am

That is an excellent avatar Arcee. Smokescreen are you going to get a signature as well?

Overall I loved the movie too, but I have to agree with what was once though to be Magnus's comment (good to meet you Magnus and anyone else who I haven't been introduced to yet). Anyway, I didn't feel there were enough TFs in the movie, in particular Decepticons. Now don't get me wrong, the humans are amazing in the movie especially the marine guys, but I really wish the Decepticons hadn't just been all like "Grrrr we're Decepticons, we try to kill you and we have no personality." That's my whole gripe, the only thing.
