"bang, bang, crash, no, no, no, go, go, go, boom, bam, pew, pew, bang, crash".....there, you just saw Transformers without waisting 2.5 hours of your life.
If I were charged to compile a list of ten or twenty scenes which I feel are the worst in the history of film, the bullshit that takes place at the Witwicky residence about halfway through Michael Bay's cinematic abortion Transformers might just make the top ten. Culminating with the introduction of John Turturro's government agent, and Mrs. Witwicky shouting "get your hands off my bush," this scene is the moment that my blank indifferent stare at the nonsense that was washing over me turned to a seething rage, and I realized that not only did Michael Bay not give two shits about what he was doing, but also that the film was an aggressive insult to the intelligence of…
"Like the itty bitty Energizer bunny from hell."
It's been ten whole years since the release of Michael Bay's "Transformers". A film that would set the ground work (for better or worse ((mostly worse)) ) for all franchise reboots that followed since its shocking success.
With director Michael Bay at the helm (best known before this point for his work with Jerry Bruckheimer in the late 90s (("Bad Boys", "The Rock") and Executive Producer Steven Spielberg (everybody knows who he is so there's no point listing off his work), all the pieces should be there for (at the very least) a fun little piece of balls to the wall teenage escapism that Bay was best known for.
Problem is, with…
Michael Bay is a magician and understands the concept of misdirection a bit too well.
The first time I watched this he managed to convince me that this wasn't a total disaster by bombarding me with cosmetics, explosions and a constantly sweaty Megan Fox.
This time around the cosmetics still look great, the explosions are annoying and Fox could do with a shower as she looks nasty in all the wrong ways. For some reason I always thought the second part was far worse than this one, but when push comes to shove this is an equally hollow affair. The fact that it was the first one and that it doesn't suffer that much from the ridiculous stacking of moronic over the top and poorly choreographed action the sequels have, is probably the reason why it gets a bit more credit.
It's just a rather dull collection of pixels (Fox included) and LaBoeuf running and not much else.
I honestly don’t know why some people think this movie is good when it has the same exact problems as it’s sequels.
Total nostalgia flick. It’s got it’s quirks, but remains endlessly entertaining and charming.
Bit too long. Bit sketchy. But my god did this get my heart pumping back in 2007. Michael Bay hot-wired my adolescent heart in the first five minutes.
When the helicopter destroys everything and is like kaboom, shoot shoot, blow up. Fuck me. The scorpion transformer?! Awesome. Or the bit where Bumblebee blows out all the windows. The part where Bumblebee's like "who's gonna drive you home tonight" and Shia Labeouf tells Megan Fox that there's more to her than meets the eye. Shia Labeouf (in all his Michael J. Fox-esque brilliance). Megan Fox (in all her Megan Fox brilliance).
Oh and the bit where Optimus fights one of the bad guys on the highway. The bit with Megatron chasing…
