Wait a damn minute...
Micheal Bay
made a movie I actually enjoyed?!!! Yes, I like the Transformers movie.
Michael Bay promised movie audiences the best movie for summer '07 and
he delivered it in spades. As a matter of fact, I will probably go see
it again, soon.
- You want big robots? - check
- You want special effects? - check
- You want action? - check
- You want stuff blowing up real good? - check
- You want to have a good time? - check
For whatever strange reason, my original disapproval for all the
changes Bay was making have pretty much disappeared. There a few
problems I had with the movie.
- All of the willy-nilly world wide computer network hacking was borderline Jeffrey Goldblum in Independence Day
- Why the main character have such a silly last name
- Did the Iron Giant "hide & seek" sequence have to last that long
- Why do "they" never believe the main character until the third act
- Each individual Transformer was so detailed, there was too much to look
For
old school Transformers fans, let me mention the following. As for the
most famous gun in the Transformers universe, Megatron, you probably
already know he's not a gun. As for the second most famous gun, Optimus
Prime's rifle, it ain't in this movie. But, Optimus does have something
up his sleeve (*cough). For all of the original Transformers characters
used in the movie, they did seem to remain true to their charater's
spirit in the original animated TV series. It was also cool hearing
characters saying catch phrases and quotes from both the original
animated TV series and animated movie. As I said earlier, this movie
has action and it is currently the action movie to beat. My
complements go to Micheal Bay, his film crew, the actors and ILM for
their best CGI, yet. The movie starts off right away getting into the
action with a scene on a military base in Qatar.
Lord have mercy! It will make you believe in Michael Bay. Moving
forward, every second of screen time with a Transformer is a site to
behold. You will be a kid, again.
- The car chase between Bumblebee and Barricade is car porn
- The aerial battle between Starscream and the other F-22 Raptors is too damn good and too damn short
- The scenes of the Autobot Transformers driving down the hilly dessert highways is so gorgeous, I could watch those all day long
- For the last twenty minutes of action, Michael Bay went "all-in" and came out winning the whole damn pot
Did I forget to mention I like this Micheal Bay movie.
