I saw Transformers last night. I was jumping up and down with a perma-grin on my face all the way through. It was seriously the BEST movie I've seen ALL YEAR. Bar none.
Yes, I know it's cheesy. And yes, I know it's one massive commercial. And yes, it reeks of coming of age nerd-wins-the-hot*-girl. But all of that said and done, it's a kick-ass movie.
The camera work was phenomenal and gave the whole film a real sense of action and involvement up close with each of the characters. There was a nice-moving plot [albeit a little predictable], and the script work was excellent. I was laughing out loud a few times!
The robots were done in such an awesome way - personality, design, the way they morphed.. phwoar! My only gripe about this part of the movie was that a] Optimus doesn't have that cute little mouth-guard vent thing he used to have, and that b] Bumblebee was made into such a pussy-assed wet blanket piece of shit. A loveable piece of shit, but not tough enough at all.
Possible spoiler in white [highlight and read]:
I could have cried when they killed Megatron. He was always my favourite, ever since I was really tiny. I'm just hoping he'll be ressurected in the sequel.
And also, is it just me or is this Megan Fox not as hot as they're making out? She looks like she's been baked in a solarium for about 10 days too long, and is walking around like a 30-year-old whore on the streets of St Kilda. =|
I can appreciate beauty, especially in women, but she really just doesn't do it for me. Curious to hear other people's views who've seen the movie?
