Scorponok will be back in the sequel since they never really showed his robot form.

Wrong.

Yeah, I thought about making that connection, but then I was like, "But that happened so long ago! That couldn't have been what it was." So that's why Ratchet said..erm...when he said "...yet."

There were several things that could have been made clearer.
Okay then. Thanks.

I don't understand the people that didn't at least find this movie entertaining.

Those are usually the people that go into these sorts of movies expecting them to be bad.

That's exactly why some people didn't like it. Read through all the reviews of the critics who hated the film, and they're all criticizing the concept itself, like they thought they were going to see Shakespear. It's the same sourpuss mentality that keeps comedies from ever having a real shot at an oscar - if it's not deep and meaningful, it's crap.

I really liked this movie not being a regular viewer of the old cartoons and of course not having high expectations it was a good special effects/action movie with a simplish plot but it runs ok with it.

But the one thing that spoiled it for me were the camera angles during the fight scenes; you never got a real sense entirely of what was going on especially at the end when it was a robot on robot battle royal, also the fact that some of the robots being undercast and not being able to get a sense of their individual character was a dissapointment.

But it would be a movie I'd gladly go see again.

Really? They did a pretty poor job of that then, especially considering

Pretty shit-weak explaination on that producer's part too, actually.

I liked it a lot. Prime's voice was the best part. Got kinda tingly when he introduced himself. I wish he'd have had the old school mask, tho. The mouth was pointless and looked like ass.

When I first learned that Bumble Bee was going to be a Camaro instead of a Beetle, I was disappointed. After seeing the movie, it would've been quite lame for it to have been a Beetle. All of the swerving and drifting wouldn't have been possible or as effective. Plus, it would've looked like crap.

Transformers hitting IMAX screens, with more footage, on September 21st! Personally I thought the movie should have seen an IMAX release since day one (damn you Harry Potter!).

I wonder this'll be a new trend if this release actually sees success, eg. extended editions going IMAX a couple months after original's release.

I concur.

Saw it and loved it.


Very good movie. I'd see it again, but sadly its not on DVD yet. :(

Ok. A couple of events happened yesterday -

First, Paramount & Dreamworks announce their decision to go HD-DVD exclusive:Then, Michael Bay retaliates by refusing to make Transformers 2 in his own personal blog:Now, Bay just sounds like a little kid in his post, but I guess I can understand what he is saying. I really don't understand how going HD-DVD exclusively would benefit Paramount, considering that Blu-Ray is supposedly winning the format war (from what I read anyways. Don't bite my head off if this you disagree with his!). I mean, unless their getting a shit load of money to go exclusive, I just don't understand what the hell is going on.

I guess it doesn't mean that there is no hope for a sequel, but I would have liked to see Bay return as I thought he did a damn good job with the first :/.

HD-DVD is the best format. The quality has already been proven, and it is the only format with finalized and functional specs.

I am surprised at the ignorance of even people in the film industry.

Bay will either come back because Paramount will pay him twenty billion space dollars or they'll get a new director. Transformers 2 and 3 have already been greenlighted. If anything, a new director may actually have the sequels focus more on the actual Transformers.

DVD and HD-DVD being released on October 16th. Is anyone as surprised as I am that the DVD is being released this soon? I mean it's going to DVD only ~4 months after it was released in theatres. Isn't the norm usually 5-6 months after the movie's theatre release?

This kinda makes me wonder if they plan to release an extended edition for the winter now, since IMAX version is supposed to have more footage than the theatrical version.

Transformers Hits DVD and HD DVD on Oct. 16! - Superhero Hype!

*sigh*
That means there'll be theater owners and their unions rattling their chains about how nobody thinks of them and how this will ruin their buisiness...
Maybe not in the US, but should they do the same here in Germany I know they would.
Did the same thing back then with Sin City.
