Transformed Me
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I was very skeptical about this movie, thinking that I would not like it. I did not even buy this movie until the second movie was released. I have to say that I really enjoyed this movie; there’s something for everyone. There were some really good laughs in the movie. It has also compelled me to buy a 2010 Camaro!
Are you serious?

Basically, what you get in Michael Bay’s “Transformers” is action, action, action, Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, childish humor, action, Autobots, action, Decepticons, action, more childish humor, action, action, the end. I did like the action sequences and the appearances of the Autobots and Decepticons. I also liked John Turturro as Agent Simmons and Jon Voight as John Keller. But that’s pretty much it. LaBeouf and Fox were so f***ing annoying in this film (but Fox is hot, so that keeps her from being a big downside). I was especially annoyed at LaBeouf’s hyperactive personality and overly excessive dialogue. Couldn’t they have created a more likable teenager as the main character? Plus, the Autobot and Decepticons were more like supporting characters. Isn’t this film called “Transformers?” Aren’t these robots supposed to be the ones we should be focusing on? But I think the biggest thing that I had trouble with this film was the supposed humor. My God, it’s so unworthy of even being mentioned! You’ve got robots peeing, parents panicking, Anthony Anderson at his worst, and Jazz the Autobot who can be best described as a black stereotype (but you’ll see far worse stereotypes in the sequel). Is this geared towards kids, teens, or grownups? Is this a family film? They should have toned down the humor and focused on the overall drama of the film.
I wish I could like this movie, but it’s pretty much a mess (and I heard the sequel is even worse). I give this a D.
Great movie for the family
Awesome graphics, action sequeces…cant wait to see the next one. My 5 year old loves transformers, and he watches this movie at least three times a day 
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought this movie as a birthday present, and the whole family enjoys watching it. There are a couple times where the language is bad for little ones, but they actually didnt notice
Excellent Movie to test out a Home Theather System
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I always use this Movie, The Italian Job, and The Dark Knight when I have friends over to show them my Home Theather System. The Sound and the special effects in this movie are amazing. I have a 46″ SONY Bravia XBR6 with a Denon Receiver and Klipsch RF-62 Home Theater System.
Last night Oct 23, I rented TRANSFORMERS REVENGE OF THE FALLEN on Blu-ray. It was ok. I enjoyed watching the first one better.
Dazzling, inventive, well scripted Entertainment
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Don’t miss the first film in the Transformers series. It’s very well written, and very balanced. Extremely entertaining film, and easily Bays best film. Funny, fun, and the best action in any film I’ve ever seen. Fabulous to look at…details that knock you out. The only thing people complain about in the first film is that during the serious action in the city in the last part of the film, that it’s difficult to follow. It’s really in one sequence, where giant robots are falling into the sides of buildings to slow their fall from above, but what happens after you watch the film a couple of times, is that you begin to see exactly what is going on…and then it actually becomes even more impressive. Michael Bay challenges the viewer with his visuals…it’s not jump cuts, etc. being overdone…what Bay creates is real density and power, which works to overwhelm us, which is what should happen to anyone who is anyway near these giant robots duking it out. The slo-mo moves are so hip…bots spinning laterally and then firing into the ground to boost their spin, etc…are probably the coolest action moves I’ve ever seen, or will ever see. Kudos to the wild guys at ILM…they are on a serious roll. The second film is all over the place…and has it’s gifts, but this first film is excellent on all levels. Megan Fox plays the dingy babe just right. And watch out when she gives the big smile…cause it will knock you over. She not as well used in the second film…not her fault. Watch those scenes in the car with her and Shea when he’s trying to start the car…perfect.
I’m 58 years old…love my Cocteau films…Antonioni…the classics…big jazz guy…but this movie is a real party.
Please rate the TRANSFER, CONTENT and not the film
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
By the time a movie is transferred to Blu-Ray, the fans already know the film by heart either from the theatre or the many earlier incarnations of the film… what I care about is the quality of Blu-Ray transfer before I plop down my hard-earned dollars. A great example of super Blu-Ray reviews are those Amazon customer reviews for PREDATOR – those reviews told me a lot about the transfer and the extras, and warned me that I probably didn’t want to invest in the current Blu-Ray release.

Received very fast. I think I got mine in the mail 1 or 2 days after it came out. And you definitely could not beat the price. Everywhere else seemed to be $27.99 or there abouts. I got mine for $20.00 from Amazon.com. Thanks guys. And thanks for the Free Shipping.

Beautifully Awful Film
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I understand who this film was created for. It was created for 14-22 year old men who like watching explosions, special effects, and hot women. On those three counts, this film was a rousing success. I, on the other-hand, enjoy outdated concepts like writing, dialogue, acting and a funny thing called “plot”.
The movie is just so badly put together from a thinking mans point of view. Don’t get me wrong, the film is a beautiful spectacle. The effects used to create the robots are astonishing. The way Bay refused to hide the effects in darkness was a bold move, and it worked. However, The Dark Knight proved that you can make a smart, thinking mans film, based on a concept generally aimed at children. And on top of all that plot, acting and dialogue, there were also massive special effects. Outside of the visuals, Transformers failed to be even an adequate film on nearly every level.
Here is the most maddening part of the film:
* The military has a cube that the decepticons want. The cube is in a heavily guarded military installation. What is the most logical thing to do with it? Why drive it into the middle of a populated city of course!
If you choose to watch this film, please do yourself a favor and watch it in BluRay with full digital surround sound, and shut off your brain. Just eat popcorn drink soda and “feel” the film for what it is. A vehicle for Michael Bay to show you all his neat toys.

The Bottom Line:
I liked The Island and thought Transformers would be an enjoyable romp, so I was pretty shocked by how bad this overlong mess of a movie was, with jaw-droppingly awful attempts at humor (Little girl upon seeing a Transformer: “Are you the toof fairy?”) ridiculous action sequences (for those of us who like to actually understand what’s going on during a fight) wooden acting (I’m looking at you Megan Fox) and almost nothing to recommend it at all; some will tell you that it’s just supposed to be eye-candy, but this “candy” tastes vile and having to chew on it for 144 minutes is disgusting.
1.5/4
Words Fail Me…
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
This is a monumentally bad film on all levels.
How bad?
Well, I recently caught it on free-to-air and still felt ripped off.
It runs for about for nine thousand years (or felt like it did), exemplifies everything that is bad about modern American cinema, and manages to make a pitched battle between giant robots in the middle of Los Angeles as interesting as queuing in a chemist to buy suppositories.
Its loud, its stupid, its obnoxious and I suspect the script may have been written by a group of Macaques encouraged to draw on the walls using their own faeces.
Also, whilst the robots may have been voiced by the guys who played them in the original cartoon series (in a nod to the fanboys), they still sounded like they were voicing bad action movie trailers with. Every. Single. Line.
Acting?
There is none.
Shia Labeouf portrays an alarmed, sweaty vole and Megan Fox makes a very convincing showroom dummy – though it must be said, neither of them were acting at any point.
Avoid this film like the plague. Its an insult to art, intelligence and human dignity.
As a friend of mine rather flippantly observed after having seen it, “It runs for 144 minutes, the seizures last for about half an hour after that, and the shame of having sat through it will stay with you for a lifetime.”
Its only now that I realise that he wasn’t joking.
Blank DVD
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I loved this movie when I went to go see it in the theatre so I wanted to buy it on DVD. I tried to play it in my HD DVD player, my friends PS3 and it didnt work at all. I wasn’t able to send it back because I was in IRAQ at the time but please be careful to make sure your DVDs work when they first arrive or you will be surprised like I was and can not return them.
Woo-Hoo, a toy movie with a potty mouth!!!
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Amazed at how little I want to ever see this movie again, let alone own it. Three months have gone by and all I can still remember is the cringing embarrassment at watching this dull, low life-inspired film with my young daughter.
Look honey, there’s a flabby old actor’s butt in a thong! Ooh, over there are racist stereotypes that turn into compact cars! What a rush…
And to think they’re going to make a third one. what’s next, a pimp daddy robot with his AutoHo’s?
