| | Customer Reviews: The Transformers are irrelevant; (03 August 2010)For Transformers fans: This is not a good movie, as a Transformers movie it's even worse. The return of Cullen to do the voice aside, and re-use of character names, there's little here to tie this movie to the 30 year old Franchise. The movie is far from coherent, and drifts way way way from the source material to create yet another parallel dimension of Transformers canon...for what purpose? Was Simon Furman not available for consultation? Ultimately this is what comes of people preying on fads, and unfortunately this decades fascination is with remaking 80's childrens TV Series. Unfortunately the movie is neither satisfying to Transformers fans, nor is it likely to be the launchpad for same kind of childhood addiction. In 30 years can we expect people to be looking at this movie with any affection once the (currently stunning) CGI is then looking dated? Or will classics such as "Jason and The Argonauts" still outstrip it even with its plastecine monsters? I stopped this movie with ten minutes remaining. I will never watch it again. For Non Transformers fans: This movie is excellent, it's full of big explosions and robots, and Megan Fox gets sudsy and hangs around half dressed! Transformers (14 April 2010)This film is fantastic, the filming is energetic,vibrant and a good storylineTransformers (2007) [DVD] very good (08 April 2010)thank you for getting to me so soon and in the nick you said it would be. Utter bobbins (14 January 2010)Now, don't get me wrong; I like a good, dumb actioner as much as the next person, however it needs to have at least some semblance of intelligence, and look like the scriptwriter and director had a passing interest in making a cohesive and coherent movie. Sadly, this DVD lacks any of the above; my main quibble is the uneven tone - if it was pitched squarely at kids then I could understand it, but Michael Bay appears to be attempting to attract family audiences by incorporating elements of adult humour and commenting on the (parlous) state of US politics in the early 21st century. This too would be okay, but the latter sits uneasily with the myriad explosions and mash-ups, and the insipid teen romance - not helped by Shia Lebouef's try-hard cheeky chappy and Megan Fox's vacuous high school babe. Overall I view this film as 2 hours of my life that I'll never get back, and I can really find little to be positive about; even John Turturro's bizarre take on stock shady US government agent seems random. At least the CGI is impressive, with the titular robots looking pretty cool - but despite the ropey premise of the movie, surely there was the potential for a half-decent script and more accomplished leads? More than meets the eye? You betchya! (19 December 2009)It is called the All Spark. Powerful. Incredible. Able to create robotic life and destroy it just as quickly. On Cybertron, a planet far, far away, a war arose when a robot named Megatron, leader of the Decepticons, wanted the power of the All Spark for himself. Optimus Prime and his band of Autobots rose up against him and their battle destroyed their homeworld, sending the cube-shaped All Spark into space. Lost. The Autobots and Decepticons scoured the galaxy looking for it, knowing that whoever found it first would be the victor and would decide the fate of not just one world, but the universe. The All Spark found its way to Earth, but not before Megatron tracked it there. It landed in the Arctic, and Megatron was frozen there until found later on by Captain Witwicky, explorer. Decades later, his grandson, Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf), needs a car and after visiting a used-car dealer ends up coming home with an old Chevy Camaro. Little does he know the car is more than meets the eye and lurking beneath its yellow shell is an Autobot named Bumblebee. It's not long till Sam finds out and is thrust into a robotic world where two teams of giant robots compete to find the All Spark. Joining Sam is his high school crush, Mikaela Banes (Megan Fox), whom reluctantly is dragged on this journey with him but soon finds herself getting interested in this guy who she barely knew existed. It's robot vs robot in this giant epic of good vs evil, fireballs, bullets and vehicles that are more than meets the eye. What can I say? When I heard they were taking the Transformers from my childhood and lifting them from the cartoon to "real life," I was ecstatic. I was also concerned because I knew it'd take a crazy amount of CGI to make it happen, and not just any CGI either--good CGI. The last thing I wanted was for a bunch of cartoony robots with rubbery parts dominating the screen. Boy, was I shocked when I saw Bumblebee transform and tower over all, shining his spotlight into the sky, or when Optimus Prime showed up and that glorious digital transformation sound roared and he stood proud, huge and detailed. This stuff was real, and it looked like the makers of this movie actually made real Autobots and Decepticons to make it happen. Good times. Storywise, yeah, I liked it. The alien invasion thing worked. Very well done. Same with the notion that, unlike the cartoons (from what I recall), the Autobots had a vow of secrecy to keep themselves hidden from the humans while they searched for the All Spark. Shia LaBeouf as Sam Witwicky was funny, same with Kevin Dunn as his father. The story also bodes well for a sequel, which has now come and gone, with more stories in the works. If you're going to go epic, like Transformers did, you're going to need more than one. Last I heard, they're doing 5 or 6 of these things. Me? I'm all for it. I go into these things expecting a good time and not some life-altering film where, years later, I look back and see it as a turning point for me. Transformers is just that: a good time, and one that tickled my inner fanboy. More than meets the eye? You betchya! A.P. Fuchs |
