Transformers!! Who's going to see it?

[ECHOKnight2000]

Okay. So who is going to see the new Transformers movie? I know I am. Any hard core enthuists out there? I remember them back in the day but to be honest I personally never really got into them but I'm still going to see the movie.

Any people have an opinion of Michael Bay directing it? I know there was some controversial thing about it and hoping he won't really mess it up.

[hasher22]

i like transformers!! i gonna see it when its released here next week...

though i really like that other show...where those animals turned into people.....beast wars is it??? soo cool

[W.A.S.P]

I can't wait! I have always been a fan. I think is going to rock! At least the CGI looks amazing!

Just look at Skorponok! Makes the one from Beast Wars look goofy!

[yrsdrgn]

I just don't like how they made optimus prime have some flames on his truck design...................very ugh in my opinion.....and most of the characters have an american car that they transform into which i don't really appreciate. Those are the only things i have against the movie. Other than that I'm watching it lol

[hasher22]

Before i go see it next week........

when they transform into robots whatever u wanna call it when they transform...do u acually see a resemblence of the car?? for example; the headlights of the car would be their eyes........or sumfin, if it doesnt then there no point to it isnt there?

Yes, it sucks that they made the movie a big GM commercial. It's like that stupid Fantastic 4 movie and the Dodge advertising... "It has a Hemi?" I gagged!

I'm also confused as for why Megatron is not at least a tank. They made it a Cybertronian space ship or something like that.

I have no clue haha. I have yet to find out

[bdc87]

Going to see a special premier of it the day before it comes out. By the way I'm new here.

[yrsdrgn]

Lucky!!!! and Welcome to the boards

From what I see int he trailer, promotional photos, and so on, some of them are quite noticeable, bit others are a bit more wild and less "realistic"

Anyway, it should still be a heck of a lot of fun to watch, I'll be there :wink:

[yrsdrgn]

After we watch the movie we should have a thread for Transfomers: The Movie Reviews LOL

[Kaotic Lazagna]

i am...

[death is my gift]

michael bay's directing thus far isn't that great, but i have faith that this movie will be the exception. i know a few little things have changed but think about it. the fact that there is even a transformers movie alone is a huge accomplishment. remember, fans of the show are now all grown up and they have to take this idea in front of a bunch of suits who know nothing about the transformers history. i'm sure a few minor changes will piss off a lot of people but you can't please everyone.

i know i will see it. maybe not opening day, but i'm all over it. i use to watch the cartoon when i was little so i'm interested in how they pull a few things off.

[YarisTom73]

Can't wait to see it, I too watched it as a lil one :biggrin:

[tiksman]

I will be there

[redyaris]

Love the preview. Looks cool. I will go see it (hopefully in IMAX??)

[FoEKuZ]

doin it imax style

[fnkngrv]

I believe that Bay directed The Island? That movie was the shizniti....as for the TtM I will be there opening night...my only real qualms will be the GM BS for the cars and that Megatron is not the hand cannon as he should have been...that they changed him because of their personal opinions is real BS:bs: But now that they have this I can't wait to see WoW:The Movie (never even played the game), Diablo:The Movie and maybe they will work on Voltron?????

[marcus]

they should make the THUNDERCATS Movie!!

[marcus]

Better yet GUMMY BEARS!!

[Slummy]

If you a true fan you'll remember this:
bah weep graaagnah wheep ni ni bong:thumbup:

[marcus]

is that the sound they make when they transform..i thought it was " ee e a e a a a or e a oa e e a...hehehehe

[Yaris Omega]

not a big fan of transformers but i got to say damn that movie looks freaken asome

[fnkngrv]

Better yet GUMMY BEARS!!


Ok....who gave this nut sugar?:drinking:

[Astroman]

I'm planning on seeing the movie. I wish I hadn't smashed up all my 1st gen metal toys. :mad:

[keggo]

I will see it... I'm just disappointed they used GM vehicles... :barf:

[marcus]

dont expect too much boys.. i was told the characters a limited.. due to it takes so much hours just to do one character... and yah Bumblebee as a Camaro...come on now!!!??????????

[marcus]

our car should be sidewinder...i always like rabage!!!!

[Typer73]

remember, fans of the show are now all grown up and they have to take this idea in front of a bunch of suits who know nothing about the transformers history.

The "suits" who supposedly "know nothing about the transformers history" are the moms & dads who bought these ridiculous pieces of plastic for you "fans". Believe me, we know all about Transformers history. :moon:

[brickhardmeat]

only if my geekazoid friends force me to:frown:

[RodimusPrime]

A bit annoyed that Bumblebee is a Camaro. He's called Bumblebee for a reason. He was a SMALL compact VW! But yeah, I'm seeing it. Had to talk my better half into letting me take her.

[Safariworld]

Thanks to the threat of video piracy, Transformers premiers tonight (28 June 07) in Malaysia and possibly other South East Asian countries as well. I guess the idea is that if we get to watch it first, we won't be tempted to get the pirated DVDs filmed from US theatres? I wonder why the authorities didn't figure it could work the other way around as well?

I got my tickets for the 1st of July. Hope its gonna be good. From the cast list, Optimus Prime is voiced by the same guy from generation 1!

[eTiMaGo]

ah yes it's premiering tonight too, though I don't know if I'll be able to go... probably too many people anyway :biggrin:

[Safariworld]

I booked my tickets a week in advance but still ended up with 4th row from the screen... Ah well, maybe this way the robots will look bigger...

[eTiMaGo]

wow so there's still a good amount of people going to the cinema in KL? I remember when I was there, even for pretty big movies, they were rarely more than half full... Which one will you go to?

[Astroman]

I'm a little upset they didn't stick to the original vehicles. The part that upsets me the most is that Optimus Prime isn't a cab-over truck. They could have made Bumblebee a Chevette, still would have been a GM advertisement AND a small car :rolleyes:. At least it's being made into a movie, and I can't wait to see it.

[marcus]

it may not be theyre fault.. vw didnt want to be a part of it or theyre wanting too much money..for it.

[Safariworld]

Big movies still pack in the crowds here. I feel theres been a resurgance of the cineplex over the last few years. Over here, the new complexes have finally balanced out the size of the theatres to be at least medium sized. In the 90s with the cineplex boom, mini thearters the size of living rooms were all over the place. I think that killed the market for a while.

I'm heading to the Cathay Cineplex in Mutiara Damansara. Its a big standalone building similar to cinema complexes in Australia. Its good because you only need to compete for parking with movie goers and not against shoppers. I paid RM11 (USD3.20) per ticket.

I hear that Bangkok cinemas are bigger, fancier, and a lot cheaper...

[eTiMaGo]

Yeah the cineplex in the new Paragon shopping center is just insane, something like 20 screens, and apparently some super VIP rooms where they give you a bed to lie on while watching the movie, but it's like 3000 Baht (US100)

Normal cinemas are 100 baht, though I think there are often special promotions down to 80 baht...

I don't go to the cinema so often so I usually go for the more comfortable VIP seats, they're usually 300 Baht, but they are like La-Z-Boy chairs, they recline, you get a leg rest, and no annoying people kicking your back... :biggrin:

[Blenjar]

I'll see mine tonight at 8 PM.

[Meteorite Man]

Probably won't go see it but I was just cruising by this forum. It's funny how the theaters are different all over the world. I was stationed in Holland/Amsterdam in the late 80's and I saw TopGun at a big theatre. They stop halfway through the movie for intermission so you can get your refreshments. The usuals, candy, popcorn, soda....beer! Then they would start the movie when everyone was back to their seats. And these were some great chairs, recliner like. Footpads and trays. Every row was stepped up higher than the one in front of you so there was noooooooooo way you'd have a blocked view. Made it all that much more fun to "roll" the empty beer bottle down the aisle ramp. We'd have contests to see how far "your" bottle would go. "tink tink tink"...No wonder Americans are frowned on...Hope I didn't ruin your movie back then.

[Blenjar]

well just got home while ago...

movie was awesome.

I plan on watching it again at a imax movie theater.

-- Blen

[Kaotic Lazagna]

i'm about to watch it in a couple of hours!

[Safariworld]

Good movie. Won't tax your brain power though. Better than Spiderman 3 in my opinion.

I won't say anything else till more people have watched it!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

easily one of the best movies i've watched in a while.

[Edd]

Awesome movie. Some things sucked though:
• VB Bug => Camaro (surprisingly looked good though, seeing as GM is almost pure crap). I loved the "BEE-OTCH" sticker though. :biggrin:
• Jaz was a Porsche, now a pontiac. C'mon.
• I don't think Megatron entered his vehicle form.

[njyaris]

me foe sho .. bring back after skewl memories

[hasher22]

errrrrrr half the people i know has seen it!!!!

thats it im going this friday with a couple of friends.....everyone is ravin about it!

[nqd]

do they play the orginal theme song in the movie?

[tiksman]

I had to take a leak but could not get up due to non stop action. Very good movie. Yes the cars were not the same and all that but this is Hollywood they never keep anything the same. And every movie needs a advertising plot so they can sell it to the higest bidder this time it was GM.

[Edd]

do they play the orginal theme song in the movie?

No, unfortunately not. :( It's probably for the best though. Hollywood could make it VERY cheezy.

[redduck]

I just got back this is the best movie I have seen in a long time. anyone else notice that optimus prime always showed up late and lost?

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Megatron transformed into a fighter jet every once-in-a-while, but wasn't he also a large cannon? it's been so long since i watched the original series.

[marcus]

i think he bacame triple changer on the next generations...coz starscreem keeps living him behind he cant shoot his own cannon...:laughabove:

[FoEKuZ]

movie was badass... that junior analyst advisor brod was bangin.

[tiksman]

movie was badass... that junior analyst advisor brod was bangin.

Her and the black guy played in a movie together b4. Movie was called See Spot Run. I thought that was a funny movie.

[redyaris]

What a way to spend 4th of July afternoon. Fireworks inside the theatre!

This movie kicked all kinds of ass.

But...it got a little cheese filled near the middle when the autobots introduced themselves (Jazz's hip hop was lame)...and when they were hiding at the boys house. A little much.

Oh and that chick was HOTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!

[Safariworld]

If only they didn't spend so much time playing hide and seek at the house so that there could be more time spent on the ending. It was a pretty sudden way to end the movie.

[Astroman]

Had to buy my ticket 3 hours early and wait in a huge line, but I got a great seat and the gf and I loved the movie. :thumbup: Also saw knocked up. Funny.

[Yaris Revenge]

"And every movie needs a advertising plot so they can sell it to the higest bidder this time it was GM."

Actually, I read an article where Bay talked about choosing the cars. He actually sought out GM! Apparently he's a fanboy... one of the 1st in the country to get that stupid looking SS sport-pickup-things when they came out. He saw the concept Camaro and HAD to have it in his movie, and wound up using GM for all of it. Saleen actually built the 2 concept Camaros used in the flick... they're not really "cars", per say, more like fully functional props. Lots of fake bits, like molded-in brake rotor hubcaps, plasticky doorhandles, stuff like that. They were built on a Pontiac GTO frame.

I think that was an article posted on the Motortrend website or something...

It is kinda' goofy changing from the original vehicles, but who wants to see hi-tech alien robots turning into 20 year old cars? The change makes sense. However, Jazz should have been a new Boxster or Carrera, not a Solstice! And BB really should have been a new Beetle, or even a Yaris!

Throughout the years Megatron has become so many different vehicles and gadgets, I can't even remember them all. I think his last toy incarnation actually was a jet/spaceship looking thing (Transformers: Energon).
