Transformers
Saw Transformers yesterday with my mom and was expecting it to be awful. When I first saw that trailer I just knew it was going to be awful and a bunch of noise but it wasn't too bad. Don't get me wrong, it was bad but it wasn't one star bad. The highest I would go is to give it two stars.
Put the next stuff behind the cut because of minor spoilers but they honestly aren't too bad.
1. Mudflap and Skids. I know some people are like, "They're just robots. Take a chill pill!" but I can't. Those two were just so ridiculous and ignorant and resembled the worst stereotypes. I could almost get past the gold tooth but when they were both illiterate I really thought you have got to be kidding me. I thought Jazz in the first movie was horrible. These guys are even worse.
2. The camera shots that just went into what seemed like an endless circle. These were really prominent in scenes with Sam and Mikaela. We get it already, Michael Bay and you're making me dizzy.
3. The movie was way too long. I think they could've easily cut out 30 minutes of that movie if only by getting rid of some of those endless circling camera shots. *lol*
4. Characters (more often robots) that are in the movie and then all of a sudden disappear and we have no idea what happened to them. Why have them in the movie in the first place?
5. The whole deal with Megatron. I don't see him being anyone's little bitch. C'mon, man!
6. Some of the dialogue was just atrocious. Poor Tyrese took the brunt of the bad lines.
7. Way too much crap/action going on at one time on the screen.
8. I never want to see a crusty butt in a thong again.
1. Bumblebee. He is so adorable and badass. You actually felt bad for him when Sam said that he couldn't come with him to college. They need to change Bumblebee's license plate to DAFKNMN because he is da f***ing man.
2. That English commander. My attention span was reaching its limit and then all of a sudden this fine guy shows up. Hello! He looks so familiar. Is it the same dude that got PWNED by Wesker in Resident Evil: Extinction?
3. Major Lennox and Master Sergeant Epps were really cool and I'm glad they got quite a bit of screen time in the movie.
4. Optimus Prime if only because he can make the corniest stuff sound so awesome. Thank goodness for Peter Cullen because they would be S.O.L. without him. He was a badass in this movie.
5. I may be in the minority but I liked Simmons character a lot and his interactions with Sam's college roommate Leo were hilarious! It's a shame that I thought that they had more chemistry than Sam and Mikaela's characters. I definitely see Leo becoming Simmons protege in all things conspiracy theory related.
6. Sam's scream of terror. One of the funniest things I've ever heard in my life. That's what my sister and I call a "man scream."
And to think I'm going to go through it again tomorrow when I see it at the IMAX.
