#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 You've just insulted the 870 million people who are die hard Transformers fansIt's like saying there's no use to analyse the score to E.T.It was only composed for a children's film.

John Crichton 4 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 You've just insulted the 870 million people who are die hard Transformers fansIt's like saying there's no use to analyse the score to E.T.It was only composed for a children's film.Well as cool as it would be to insult 870 million people at once, that wasn't it. We're only a couple of years apart in age so I know we experienced it at roughly the same childhood age and I know where you're coming from there, I was there too. I really like the movie, it has a lot of great things going for it, but in the end it is a kids cartoon movie based on a kids cartoon show, which to me doesn't lend itself to deep philosophical discussions on film making.And, seriously, the score for ET and Transformers? That's not apples and oranges, that's like, watermelons and satsumas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker 5 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Why is everyone saying the 1986 film was based on a cartoon series? It wasn't. That movie, this new movie and the TV show was based on a bunch of plastic toys.Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker 5 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I don't hate Indy IV, I just don't think it's a good idea to make the movie.Superman Returns should have been good.

A24 4,347 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Hmm, Bay's movie is receiving quite good comments from critics (see quotes below). It seems like a perfect film for my son.Transformers isn't just dorky, it's gloriously dorky.Better than sex.One of the few summer blockbusters to live up to its hypeMichael Bay's best film to date offers plenty of fun, but not more than meets the eye.There's not much under the hood, but Transformers roars with power and style thanks to awe-inspiring action and flawless effects.For sci-fi excitement and escapist, fast-paced action, you cn't beat this. It's spectacularly loud, fun-filled and wicked cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bondo 33 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Just saw Transformers and LOVED it! I counted 15 helicopters, more than a dozen airplanes, and several sunset-silhouette shots... definitely a Michael Bay film.

Trent B 337 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I downloaded the movie since I have no fundage right now at all to see a movie in theaters. Anyways I for one throughly enjoyed the film. I only wished that Megatron and Starscream had more screen time but I guess with the potential sequel Starscream may get more screen time. I'm also glad that Optimus Prime pretty much owned the film. I for one will be buying this on DVD for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
