[Movie] Transformers Movie (07-04-07)

Just saw the movie last night at a secret midnight premiere (Or at least, a day earlier then when most people would see the movie) and it was awesome. The plot wasn't the greatest and as spoiler'd text has pointed out, a lot of the movie is bendy on the logic area...

Prime example (no pun intended):

Spoiler:

Anthony Anderson as a genius hacker of sorts. I had just seen Live Free or Die Hard days earlier so I may be a bit biased, but it seemed odd that the world's 'best' hacker would not only know someone working on top-secret governent stuff, but that it would be convienetly in a short travel distance and be Anthony Anderson. The bit in the bunker with the 're-wire the pc to the radio to transmit out' was rediculous. If they were going to play it straight, they would have at least shown a bit more of it. Oh well, nitpick.

.

As far as the rest of the film goes, I enjoyed it a lot and I'll likely be watching it again, if not when the DVD comes out. I felt Megatron got a bit 'undercast' but he still got some good screentime as the big-bad. One thing I would have loved, and no big deal that it didn't happen was having the Beast Wars voice actor for Megatron voicing in this version, since they did get Peter Cullen after all. Why did they have to kill Jazz though? Black man always dies in the movies

Overall, a great sci-fi action film.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Props to whoever did the banner.

I'm thinking Starscream will take over from Megatron, or perhaps Fuse with him, thus giving us Ultra Magnus for the climatic battle in the sequel.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yikes! Did I say Ultra Mag... Yes I did, its right there... huh.

Well... nevermind that then!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
