ok... I have actually yet to see this movie, which is astonishing, since we had plans to see it opening night... but... please tell me that you are lying about Prime saying "Sorry, my bad." Please?  |

I was surprised by how much I liked that movie. The two gals I went with and I were laughing quite a bit. I have to say I was getting chills at several points, especially when Prime transformed for the first time. And I knew we had a winner when my little sister, the girly-girl of the bunch, leaned forward and yelled, "Leave the bot alone!" when Bumblebee was being restrained.
But then, I wasn't a diehard Transformers follower...I was more along the lines of She-Ra (c'mon, it's Girl Power) and TMNT. So I'm sure I missed several plot holes along the way.
Side Note: My elementary school reading group called itself the Transformers. I was the tallest of the group, so somehow I wound up nicknamed Prime. Go figure.

I am also a "transfan" and I loved this movie but to each his own. Decent review Drew and kudos to you.
(Note: Shia Lebeoufs character in the movie is Sam not Spike)

Well, I grew up on Transformers, but like I said in the Transformers thread, I had really low and undefined expectations. This, I think, made the biggest difference in how I felt coming out of the movie. Also I am one of those people that can treat it as a different entity, so it was fun. But I still liked the review.
I completely blocked out the part about "lubricates"... Now I remember. Thanks a lot, Drew.

(Note: Shia Lebeoufs character in the movie is Sam not Spike) I'll stick with Spike. please tell me that you are lying about Prime saying "Sorry, my bad." Please? I could tell you that I was lying... ...but that would be a lie. The funny thing is, as I look back on it, it would have been a pretty decent movie if they'd excised about a half-hour of footage, everything from when the Autobots introduce themselves to when [SPOILERS] Bumblebee gets captured. That way you miss out on Optimus Prime bumbling around, messing up Sparkplug's lawn and having to say "Sorry, my bad," you miss out on a dog pissing on Ironhide's foot, Spike's idiot mother accusing him of masturbating, Ratchet tripping and falling over power lines, Ironhide being a moron about wanting to shoot everything, Bumblebee urinating on that government guy... all that crap. Seriously, leave out that half-hour and the film is about a hundred times stronger. -D |

The end credits lists him as Sam 'Spike' Witwicky, but he's not actually called Spike at any point in the movie. Go figure.

Odd that they gave Frank Welker the bum's rush for the movie, but did use him for the game, despite the fact that it's the same "big sexy beast with ripped abs" (or whatever Michael said) Megatron in both cases.
I have a few theories as to why, and they are all chock full of negativity and generally cast Mr. Bay as the villain.
