I Create Things

   Agreed Transformers really was that amazing. If I don’t get to see it at least 1 more time in theaters I’m going to be thoroughly disappointed.

   It was simply mindblowing.

   I’ve seen it twice in cinemas, and it was just as enjoyable the second time. Arguably the best CG in any movie to date, it was flawless.

   Actually saw it on the first day it came out in Australia (before America and the rest of the world apparently).

   First off, i think your blog rocks! However, I believe that the Transformers movie was simply OK. There are many thing I could say about it, but it’s all posted on my blog @ http://blog.travistotz.com. I agree that Bay did a good job translating it to the big screen, however I am not impressed with many of aspects of the movie. Cloverfield (aka Monstrous) looks incredible!

   I must admit that post was written as I walked in the door from seeing it on opening night. The atmosphere was different from the other times I saw it. As I first walked in, the packed theater was shouting at a kid in a Optimus Prime costume made out of boxes and during the movie everyone was cheering and shouting. It was weird… Sure there was a lot of things that could be better but at that moment in time, nothing could touch it for me.

   And thanks for the compliment about the blog :)

   Agreed x 10. It was a great movie. Going to try and catch it on IMAX too.

   The cool thing about Transformers is watching them transform from cars to robots, and seeing where each part of the car goes. That’s what rocked about the cartoon, and that’s the *whole point* of the toys. In the movie, the transformations are so fast cut and quick that you can’t see any detail! (except the first time you see a transformation, when each machine takes about 2 minutes to fully transform). They break into such miniscule pieces that, to be frank, they might as well just disintegrate and remould into a different creature (defeating the whole point of being robots in disguise). Its so messed up that even the models you can buy in record stores are in a fixed ‘robot’ pose, as the complex transformations in the movie made it impossible to transform them! I guess thats not such a disappointment if you don’t remember the first generation of Transformers toys.

   Lastly, when Bumblebee is broken and falling apart at the start he can transfer his energy into a different vehicle. But when he’s broken and damaged near the end, suddenly he’s dying and somehow has lost that ability. Just one of many inconsistencies in this shockingly disappointing movie.

   I completely agree.

   I enjoyed almost every second of it.

   Even when they gave Optimus Prime and the rest of them a sense of humor. You can’t just make huge car-like robots funny, you have to try.

   And the slow motion scenes were intense.

    Hey, in many ways, Transformers was enjoyable. However, the movie definitely trafficked in horribly racist stereotypes. In particular, the Step’n'Fetchit like performance of Anthony Anderson was a disgrace. It’s shocking to think that Michael Bay and Stephen Spielberg (especially since he has two African American children) would inject such crap into a family film.

    From Anderson’s introduction where he’s shouting at his grandmother, to his dancing, and finally his cowardly denunciation of his friend, I can’t think of worse stereotypical depiction in a major action pic in the last several years. For all of the faults of “Crash,” the scene where Terrance Howard tries to explain to Tony Danza why a scene is bigoted but is forced to do it any way comes to mind here.

    It’s surprising after reading the script, Anderson didn’t speak up.

    Oh, well, to make matters worse, this weekend, Chris Tucker brings his sorry but back to the screen. God knows Tucker loves to shuck and jive in the worst way possible.

    Ugh!
