Transformers (2007)
Maybe, but at least Godzilla didn't piss on Matthew Broderick & was not pissed upon by a yip dog.
Yeah, but at least Transformers has Transformers in it.
Godzilla never even showed up in the bullshit Matthew Broderick Godzilla.

Actually, I rather liked it. I agree with every single point you've made, Malcolm, and it's not as far from cannon as Starship Troopers was but it's in the same area code. However, if you ignore everything else that's come before it this movie does hang together pretty well on it's own. It definately could have been much better. It should have been much better. But if you go into it forgetting everything you know about the franchise, it's a decent flick overall.
I give it 5 out of 10. It would have been 6, but the lubricant jokes and bad use of "more than meets the eye" cost a half-point each.

I didn't hate (most of) it, but I left sort of dissapointed. They could have done so much better.
And the quick-camera edits during combat. You could never tell what was going on, it just looked like big piles of machinery filling the screen for 30 second chunks of time. Whoops, my bad.

For some reason, the only person that has as much hatred of this film is the associate I saw it w\. Everyone else seems to range from kinda lukewarm to kick-ass.
I still seriously don't see what was worth watching in this flick besides a few seconds of CG fighting.
Odd, they seem to fit in well w\ the general shittiness of the shots they left in.

Well, there's the American TV series everyone's familiar w\ & there's the comic books. Then all these other crap TV series started cropping up some years back.TheCatt wrote:I'm guessing Malcolm watched the show? Or was there some other source for the Transformers mythology?

And don't forget the animated movie from ... 1986 or so?
If you watch it now, you'll see that it doesn't age well.

Originally, yeah, but it works as a camero. I liked him as the older model camero, though, more than the newer slicker version.
EDIT: Although the real reason is product placement, of course. Autobots = GMC, you see.
