# What was wrong with Transformers?
I saw it yesterday and loved it. And I hate the original cartoons or comics or series of advertisements for toys or whatever the fuck it was.

# the 2D human characters
the awful shoe horning of the story
the lack of any real action
the horrible way they transform
and the entire missed opportunity of it all

here's hoping it's like the X-men films
and the second one will be better

# But the terrible stereotypes of human characters was hilarious
as was the naff story. Especially the hacking. THIS IS THE SIGNAL THEY WERE USING TO HACK! ONLY A FAT BLACK DUDE WHO PLAYS DDR ALL DAY CAN FIND THE SECRET MESSAGE HIDDEN IN THE HACKER SIGNAL! WHAT THE FUCK THEY HACKED OUR FIREWALL THAT SHOULD TAKE TWENTY YEARS?!

What was wrong with the transforming, anyway? It had the "Borkbirkbirkbork" noise, and Starscream and Megatron could do awesome flips and transform in a split second while in mid air

# hahaha I loved the australian girl, just because she had nothing to do with the film whatsoever they just said
"WE NEED SEXY PEOPLE IN THIS SCENE!"

# Hah, exactly :D
I don't know which was worse. Die Hard 4's "QUICK HACK THE GASPIPES AND REROUTE ALL THE GAS TO THE PLANT TO MAKE IT EXPLODE!", or the Transformer signal hacking with secret messages and elite black DDR dudes

# or the whole, map on your glasses thing
WTF!?!?

why?!?!
i'll tell you why
because we need it for the story and we can't be bothered
to try and come up with something cool....

# :D
But without the glasses they wouldn't have been able to include the completely unnecessary glasses finding scenes with the transformers hiding outside the house, the "WERE YOU MASTURBATING!?!?" shouts of the mother and the "OMFG URFQUAKE!!" dad

# in those car adverts you can see how the car becomes a robot
in the film, the car becomes a mess then becomes a robot

things rotate over each other and it's all too complicated
i thought it was craptastic

# And yet still Manwife, Transforners obsessive that he is wants to see it.
He had to buy the frigging magazine to get the free dogtags, and then they wouldn't fit over his dreads.

Needless to say I wasn't as upset by this as he was.

# I had this discussion with a friend yesterday (about what was wrong with the transforming)
and we decided it would be far more awesome if they all took two or three hours to transform.

AUTOBOTS, TRANSFORM!

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNKSHH! (step 1 of 79)

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNKSHHH! (step 2 of 79)

Three hours later:

NNNNNNNNNNNKSHHHH! (Step 73 of 79)

# Hah
But then in the next scene they do an instant flip transformation and jet into the air, because it's cool to do that. Screw consistency.

# I thought the last half hour of Transformers was..what's the word...very good.
It's just the script and acting of THE HUMANS, that let it down.

# Except it wasn't, really.
Because there was nowhere near enough robot stomping and far too much "HAY GUYS I'M A STEREOTYPICAL AMERICAN NERDY GUY WHO THINKS BUYING A CAR WILL GET ME ALL THE LAYDEEZ

...also EBAY."

# *makes transformer noise*
Bonecrusher was dispensed with far too easily

# Agreed, there are some awful scenes.
Like outside the kids house. It makes me angry just thinking about it!
(I helped save b3ta! Aenesis, Mon 30 Jul 2007, 13:28, archived)
# Haha
I loved that because it was so stupid, though. Especially how the transformers were fucking STOMPING AROUND and going "HEY SHUT UP GUYS" in their booming voices, and STILL no one could hear them.

I'm a fan of the craptastic :D

# same here.
it was cheesy and rubbish.

# didn't you want it to be cool and mindblowing?
i would have preferred it so
(I helped save b3ta! The King of Hats Cone of shame, Mon 30 Jul 2007, 13:45, archived)
# Well I hear there are going to be two more movies with bigger budgets.
So maybe they'll be more mindblowing.

Either way is fine for me. I like awesome cool mindblowingless, but I also love the lulz of craptasticness
(I helped save b3ta! Shada, Mon 30 Jul 2007, 13:50, archived)
# well then hopefully it really will be like X-men
and the first installment was just to test the water
and the second will deliver on the coolness

# it was never, ever going to be that.
edit: but it would have been nice. :)

# The end was good, nothing like big fucking robots destroying stuff,
but I though the rest of the film was a let down. I was feeling like walking out after 2 hours.
It was a nice idea but it could have been executed better. I hate it when the story is changed too much like this was.

# Damn you Michael Bay.
Yessum, mostly shit. Except the big fighty scenes.

I downloaded it.
