And how about this gem: "Explosions, destruction, robots flying through the air... This is what I wanted to see out of this movie." The only thing this review proves is that if you love Micheal Bay, you'll love this movie too. What a surprise.

Plantiest sentence I have ever read:

oh dear. The classic admit to something everyone already knew was shit to try to fool people into thinking that you are not a plant. Sort of like the sentinel thing the plants came out with in X3 reviews last year.

Clearly he's a bit amped up from getting to see the screening. But heck, it doesn't sound all that bad. Unforunatly, it sounds like they focused on the humans a bit too much. Starscream not coming till later...kinda sucky. But hey, he says it was great so whatever.

this is because everyone already knows that if you are a bay fan you will like it. If you hate bay, and have problems with the script, design, anal rape of childhood etc, you are never going to be convinced, so there is no point in appealing to you, so the plant may as well consolidate his fan base.

It's nice to see that the studios that relie on our money, find the need to to try this kind of fucking shit. I mean who on earth would think this was real in anyway? I mean apart from talking like a 13 year old moron or added to the fact its more like hes trying to talk like one of us (a sad and transparant attempet). Also stupid to comferm our fears of being hardly no Starscrem in this movie and almost 80 to 90% focusing on human crap. I Also want to add that next time you (moronic studio people) try this shit, please keep in mind unlike you were not moronic kiss ass and we can form our own opinions. Jesus fuck me christ i really hate shit like this..."Not a plant"...yea right thats like Harry saying he isnt fat or lazy

No matter how positive or negative the reviews will be.Overall it was an interesting review from a confessed Bayfan.But all we will ever hear is the same ol shit from both sides.Even after they see this fucker the haters will say shit like"Sure the robots punching each other were cool ,but flames and lips are dumb."And the Pro Transformer crowd will say equally stupid shit like"Told you so!",..and "Bay pwns!" So what the fucks the point by now?Why even discuss it?BTW-The most telling detail in this entire debacle has always been the shared want on both sides of the "Franchise".Lets me always know whos a filmgoer and whos a fanboy.One good or bad movie isnt enough,theres got to be three of these fuckers...Its just stupid

I'm 34 and I have a powerglide open on the table in my garage to put back in my 69 Chevelle. I think flames are cool. Anyone who doesn't like flames is a fucking nerd with an imac, ipod, and a new rice burner every 5 years (which puts more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for blast furnace steel than my chevelle ever has with fresh points and plugs every year). Seriously... anyone who wants to fight a bald 6'5" texas mechanic over whether or not flames are cool can find me pretty easy. Anytime.

Indistiguishable mass of thousands upon thousands of piecs of jagged metal shards and crumpled lumps of metal with no discernable shape or iconic silhouette. This is what the fans want. They want to know WHICH CHARACTER IS WHICH. They all look the fucking same. No one wants to just see "robots smashing shit". They want to see TRANSFORMERS smashing shit. I haven't seen a Transformer yet...just mangled lumps of twisted steel where I can't even tell if it has a face or not. In closing, the lips don't bother me in the least. Not at all. In fact, I think they're neat-o.

If Michael Bay were an auteur of some kind, I'd have no problem with him comming in and making changes. As it is, Pearl Harbor and The Island are Bay's most personal films, and while the action and explosions will be nice, that doesn't mean a damn thing when the story is shit and the designs are fucked up.

That review was an absolute disaster. First of all, I'm not even sure he saw the movie. He describes in detail some of the scenes from the trailers and then only vaguely smatters in bits from the script. And as someone else noted, he practically tracks the talkbacks in his comments. And even assuming he did see it, based upon the quality of this review, then he must have seen it as part of a charity screening for autistic kids (which coincidentally is Michael Bay's target demographic). This guy reads like a Corky Thatcher book report. This movie is going to suck so badly my insides are sad just thinking about it. Fuck you Michael Bay, fuck you in your ear. By the way, note that even this r-tard thought that parts are being played for cheesy laughs. Is that what you want in your transformers? Bumblebee the Love Bug and the cheesy Small Wonder/Full House type family interactions? Good lord this is gonna suck. I hate you Michael Bay with all of my soul.

Why this sounds like a PLANT
by LilJimmyNorton
Apr 27th, 2007
01:55:21 PM
I'm not one who normally posts on here other than an occasional line or two but after reading this review I again feel the need to post my 2 cents. First let me say that the only reason I am still going to see this movie is because of Cullen. That alone is the only nostalgia factor I need. It would have been better to get welker as well but 1 out of 2... I work with alot of copywriters, and this just smacks of someone who is trying to relate to the fanboy. This person addresses every single complaint I have seen on these boards (lips on OP, flames on OP, human vs robot story, transforming robot sound,etc) and spins a positive on all of them. Come on, if you really like all of the changes more power to you but it's a little unbelievable coming from someone who said they liked the original source material and is 28 and grew up with it (I am 29 and am so unexcited about this movie). Then this person reviews only the first 1/3 of the movie, whetting our whistles with spoilers galore and then suddenly deciding not to post anymore spoilers? Seriously??? There is even a place where thye sum it all up. That's like one of the first rules of writing something like this; always write the most important thing last because generalyl that's what most people remember: the last thing they've read. There are many more glaring examples of this but I really don't feel the need to point them out so I'll end with this: If you are that dead set against it, PLEASE DO NOT GO SEE IT. After reading all the bad press and story synopsis of X3 last year, I didn't go see it, I still havent seen it, and I will never end up seeing it. It's that simple to teach HWood a lesson, stop bitching and take action, just boycott the fucker. And TINO! TINO! TINO! (I dont know what it means but it makes me laugh).
I'll say it... FAKE!

Is there anyway we can get a confirmation that this "test screening" was actually held?

Honestly, this guys "review" didn't bring any new information abou this film or what happens in it than what we have already seen in trailers and clips, or through interviews and the like from Bay, LeBouf, and others in this film.

This "review" doesn't make me want to see this film anymore than I already don't and infact it just confirms that this is utter crap.

Every single detail this guy "gave" to us is something that has already appeared in trailers or clips. It reads like a review of everything we have seen or heard so far and I can't tell you how this can even qualify as a review.

It's not.

This really is not a review of the film.

Also, I know people are complaining about the cloud galactus. I get that... but, think about how much time is left before that film comes out. How easy would it be for Tim Story or Avi Arad to look at the negative feedback of people here and say to themselves, "Galactus as a cloud might hurt box office. We should change that." Give it a week for character design, and modeling, another week for rigging, and then about three weeks for animation for the minute or so Galactus "appears" in the film and so long as renders started a week after animation began they would be done with plenty of time to make the release date. Even if the novel says cloud, it might be altered given the poor response.

I say might, because if there is one thing I've learned while working in this business it's that no one in the industry has the balls to actually fix an issue that could adversly affect a film.

I think this is mostly because the reaction is like your girlfriend's reaction when you ask her to take it in the butt. She (people) get pissed that you would even suggest that they accept this proposition, but then a few days later when you ask again she sighs and tells you to use plenty of lube as she takes off her clothes.

I wish people would be strong enough to stand by their first, "fuck no that won't fly" ideals. If we did that then maybe the film industry would start listening.

However, back to this review it feels fake.

Make me ashamed to be a geek. PLANT! my ass. If someone says something positive about a film, its a plant...if they say something negative, its a plant because they're trying to trick us. Get a fucking life. And Lost Prophet, I'm going after you because you're the most recent post as I'm writing this...many people confuse the two words "role" and "roll"...the guy may be a little lacking in the vocabulary department, but it doesn't make him a plant.

if it was just the misspelling of role then fine- it's an easy mistake to make, and fuck proofreading. But look at the rest of that sentence, and that is only one line. The whole review is written in this way.

The point is that they think as we post on-line we are utterly incapable of writing, and have nothing more than a binary vocabulary. The mangled English is a sign of a true plant.

Truth is, you make an ass of yourself calling plant when you can't ever be sure. Of course I guess thats why the internet is anonymous...

although that doesn't help his cause. It reminds me of the MutantCamel X3 review from last year- which actually got pulled by Mori- he names every single thing that people have been bitching about, and then either dismisses it, calls it pathetic whining, attempts some sort of hip joke about it, or attempts to turn it into a positive. This is a plant.

In fact "The boxy designs from the cartoons simply would not have worked, they would have looked stupid and old." Is almost straight off www.suckmurphysfatnob.com.

Also, the stylistic problems are inconsistent- if you have no clue how to write you do not suddenly produce perfect English and then produce crap again.

I refuse to download movies illegally, but at the same time I refuse to pay for Mike and Steve to fuck my favorite characters up beyond all recognition with the excuse being "it needs to be more realistic." Really. Oh reeeally. Realistic like 300 you mean? Like Sin City? Like the Star Wars series, prequels and all? Like Fast and the Furious? Like the three bajillion other big blockbuster movies that come out every year with exactly realistic physics and guns that run out of bullets and heros that look like a young Ernest Borgnine? Bumblebee is a damn robot, what reason could possibly exist that his voice box couldn't be fixed and he's got to rely on a satellite radio advertising gimmick to talk!? Pile on to that the fact that the robots are able to magically heal themselves in the script. Show me one design in the whole movie that could even slightly work in the real world. Seriously, the movie is about GIANT ROBOTS FIGHTING A GALACTIC CIVIL WAR. There is not one damn thing realistic about this and the attempts to do so in the script are preposterous.

however, you have to include the tells or it isn't fair. I bet reviews will be split for this. Harry will gaze it it in a pile of drool with a goofy expression of wonderment on his face, Quint is lready determined to like it, as is Capone- see the interview with Shia where they criticise TB'ers. Vern- well, vern is vern. Mori will be the one to watch, as he has stated repeatedly that he is on the fence so far. Fan reviews will be "It sucked because", and "it rocked because", there will be no "It was OK type reviews", and all fan reviews will get PLANT screamed at them by the apologists and haters alike. I refuse to see this just for the dog pisses on giant robot bit, but like the arguments.

Again, with people like this dumbass in Bay's corner, is it any more obvious as to why most of us have had problems with this film? This caffeinated, bong-smoking, 12-year-old mental giant is the POSTERBOY of Bay's core audience. Unfortunately, it also seems to be the target audience of this "franchise in the making" and not the real fans. Do you guys understand why we're pissed, now?

I suppose that depends on what you define entertaining, doesnt it? When I go to movies, I'm entertained by an interesting plot, good acting, and a competant script. Hell, as long as a movie has two of my three requirements, I'll be just fine. But I cant sit through a film that has none of the requirements, ala Armegeddon. True, I have a tolerance for bad sci-fi films, but only when they are actually attempting to be thought provoking or humorous, in which case I will give them an 'A' for effort. Armageddon, however, was just so all over the board with no semblence of consistancy, realism, acting, dialogue, or even plot. Hey, I gave "The Island" a pass because it was an attempt at being thought provoking. True, it descended into Bayism at the very end, but it was still a pretty decent movie. I walked out of Armageddon.

I havent seen the film yet becuase its not out yet, so I havent seen the finished article, I so if i say something will suck and havent seen it yet. it makes no sense.

How in the hell can anyone who even remotely claims allegiance to the Geek Guild (ie. Every Friggin' Talkbacker) possibly be serious about not seeing this movie? It's tailor made for genre fans, and sure some of it is bound to irritate and fall short of expectations but it most certainly is going to be entertaining. So stop fucking lying about refusing to see this unless you've got some kinda elitist bullshit mentality about the movies you see. If so George Carlin has a comedy routine involving golf he needs to tell you pronto.

I have been reading these tranformers talkbacks for a while with some disgust. I grew up with transformers..Optimus Prime was the first thing I drew and the first thing I made in 3d..as for the movie I had the soundtrack on cassete and wore it out..It was a serious part of my childhood, comics, TV, Toys I had them all. Alpha Trion,Key to vector Sigma, Buster, Spike, jetfire, skyfire, all of that stuff. It can't be the same thing in a real movie the attitude and designs of the characters had to change..were older now..I dont want to see people shooting at feet Gijoe style I want to see things get messed up.The TV show didn't have story or character development..it was a long commercial for toys. We loved it, it was awesome, but thats all it was.I was ecstatic when they chose Cullen for the voice. I did a lot previz for Transformers, as a fan boy ..huge thrill...but as a fan boy I will tell you....you will all eventually see it..no matter what you say now..you will see it because its that good. You have never seen action sequences like these on screen ..ever. No sense in changing your mind now I know, but relax sit back...give your angry little typing fingers a rest for 2 months and enjoy it when it comes out..

That is so illegal, I know my DVDs tell me so, so it must be true. But you admit you will see robots transform into something that is still a robot, even if it is via your computer screen. Maybe you'll unwittingly download some viral porn with the cool transformation sound effect from the cartoon. Could bring a whole new meaning to "More than meets the eye". Anyways, good luck with the sans legal piracy viewing.

I'm well aware of the problems that have plagued Transformers. The inconsistencies, the stupid crap, the unbearably bad episodes, etc. I own all of it. However, there is a "core" to Transformers, there are bits and peices that are considered cannon across the varying continuities (the good ones, anyway) that work well, make sense, and are well worthy of being made into a film. Of course things are going to change from one medium to another, particularly one as expensive as film, but there's a point at which changes become pointless, or worse than pointless. Bumblebee's voice. The Matrix being switched out for "the Allspark cube." THEN there's just bad design. Think of characters that have lasted well beyond what is normal in pop culture- simple designs, iconic looks. I'm not going to say I want the TFs to look EXACTLY like they do in the animation design sheets, but for God's sake, making them into giant walking trashpiles (or in Starscream's case, a fat monkey/Waspinator) is going unecissarily far. Again, if Bay was ANY kind of artist, then I'd be more likely to accept change. Changes could be made to make the concept more realistic, fine. But this sure as hell isn't realistic in the least. Bay can claim that he has some kind of idea about what a movie audience will or won't swallow, but I posit that in a world where White Chicks can be a successful movie, audiences will swallow ANYTHING.

LOOKS AWESOME. This is the kind of showmanship that reminds me of how/why the summer blockbuster was born. And if Warner Bros. can't get Peter Jackson interested in directing JUSTICE LEAGUE, then they should hire Michael Bay. I'm not a huge fan of Bay. However, he does have that eye for iconic/epic imagery. And I'd take a half-hour of that... over 2 hours of something far less. Warner Bros. could do much worse. Peter Jackson first, Michael Bay second (since James Cameron won't be available).

for me. Great action is nice, but it's just not the point to a good film unless you have great characters. Shia as a teenage Woody Allen type is what he comes across as in that script, and if you think about it, this is really pathetic characterization. What the heck does Shia's character getting laid have to do with Transformers? It's idiotic.
