Transformers mu**&#!*!&&!%!!

Low expectations be damned, Transformers actually turned out to be a good movie. I’m gonna give away about a hundred spoilers here so anyone who hasn’t seen it yet and wants to can opt out of reading this blog.

For me growing up Transformers was pretty much a line of demarcation. There are respectable exceptions of course but pretty much if you didn’t like Transformers and/or G.I Joe then you were probably into My Little Pony or something.
Which is to say you didn’t take a wiz standing up. Which is to say you were a girl. The combination of storytelling and fighting proved irresistable to my young mind. I’ve been conditioned for two decades for this movie. I had to see it.

The movie starts with Autobots leader Optimus Prime (uh, do I need to explain that there are two types of Transformers-Autobots are good and Decepticons are bad. Cool?) boomin ass baritone narrating on why the events that are about to happen are important. Something about a war on their home planet and how they are coming to Earth to search for a energy cube that contains some sort of life-giving energy source that makes all mechanical things move.

As any consistent readers of this site can tell you, I was type skeptical of the movie but had decided to risk it anyway. Michael Bay directed it and Tyrese Gibson and Josh Duhamel were given starring roles which is pretty much the perfect storm of bad movie choices. Bay did Armaggeoden of all things and Tyrese starred in Baby Boy (the 2nd worst movie of all time, followed closely by last summers Crank. A movie so absurd and corny that immediately after watching I got into an argument with the girl I went to see it with and stopped dealing with her. True story) and this Duhamel guy has his nose open by Fergie. Seriously though, how can you trust this him?

The action sequences start about five minutes in when an unidentified helicoptor attacks a US Military base in the Middle East. There are no insurgents here, just a bad-ass robot that obliterates a multi-million dollar military compound. There is no explanation about why the attack is taking place but you don’t really care either because the coptor just starts raising hell and the whole sequence is damn near jaw –dropping. The thing that got me hooked was the trailer and the fact that the detail to greatness regarding effects seemed to be serious. I enjoyed the military aspect of the scene and throughout the movie that aspect led credibility to it and kept it from becoming a movie about toys. Basically it was an alien invasion flick, but instead of weird looking monsters it was big giant machines.

This was also my introduction to Shia Lebeauf (can someone phonetically sound out his name to me? Thanks and btw who is his agent? I never heard of him now he’s the star of the summer’s biggest movie? wow). I saw this morning that’s he’s on the cover of Vanity Fair and they are saying he’s the new Tom Hanks (to which I say relax. Tom Hanks is like the Magic Johnson of movies. Obviously great and versatile but somehow we still sorta sleep on him). His role starts when his dad takes him to buy his first car and it happens that the car is a transformer. Apparently the car was looking for him because his grandfather was an archeologist who mistakenly came across important coordinates while on a excavation in the Artic. Yeah i know but remember thats its a summer movie. Don’t think too hard just enjoy it and really, they explain it in a way to where the scenario is feasible

From here its more military stuff, more machines and more action but its done in a way that’s not insulting to those of us who like a bit of reality/intelligence with out summer popcorn blockbusters. There are a couple of corny moments and it was sorta weird when the autobot Jazz (who speaks in a random “black folks” vernacular) was the only autobot who died but all in all the joint was hot. The effects alone simply raised the bar on movie making and judging the numbers from last week it seems that a sequel will be made. And I’ll see that one too.

Yeah... I really didn't want to see it because of Michael Bay. IMHO, the only good movie he's done is Bad Boys... and I only thought it was good because it was filled with so many memorable, corny lines and dialogue.

And I felt that the GM license tie up was a big sell-out. I hate that in movies. Just the sight of a flipping Nokia almost ruined "The Matrix" for me.

BUT: The fact that Shia LaBeouf was in it was the clincher. I was 50:50... my dislike of Bay and product placements versus my love of Transformers... Shia LeBeouf sealed the deal.

He's one of Disney's prime talents. He co-starred alongside Christy Carlson Romano in "Even Stevens" for a few seasons (my wife and I watch it often on the Disney Channel... excellent show, especially for Disney, which usually has cornball productions on TV) and has won awards for that work. He was also in "Holes"... a pretty good pre-teen / teen movie based on a pretty good kid's book.

Yes, he could be the next Tom Hanks. ;)

before Transformers, i remember seeing Shia last on Constantine.

also saw him on Letterman or Leno a couple of weeks ago (i think) and he said his name means, thank God (Shia) [for] the Beef (LaBeouf). weird name.

nice movie...

**boybi** · July 13th, 2007 10:09 PM

Just watched this movie with my 7yo kid this evening. Nagyayaya nang umuwi anak ko halfway through the movie, but I insisted on finishing it. Then bigla syang namangha when the final fight scenes were showed. Nag enjoy din sya in the end.

Btw, what happened to those new transformers that were formed out of the All spark near the end of the movie?

**oliver1013** · July 14th, 2007 02:01 PM

Pinagkaka abalahan ko ngayon yung transformers the game sa PS2

Ok din

Remember "Sam's happy time?" They actually blurted the "m" word... check from Philstar...

The other scene that irritated me is the Bernie Mac's mom with the finger. If we want our kids to watch, these sort of things shouldn't be there.

I hope the disk has some parental controls in it.

**kimpOy** · July 15th, 2007 08:13 AM

Natuwa ako sa nakasulat sa Decepticon police car na si Barricade. Instead of "To protect and serve," his rear fender had "To punish and enslave" written on it

**Isuzoom** · July 15th, 2007 01:51 PM

mas ok ang police car dito sa atin " THRU THE EFFORT OF MAYOR ____"...walang patawad.

Maganda ang movie Michael Bay did it right..buti na lang di si John Woo.

Actually di ako nairritate, the movie was never supposed to be GP anyway... Bobo lang dito sa Pinas basta big box office hit ang movie gagawin nilang GP... Same thing with all the Marvel flicks, Harry Potter, etc... They're not technically GP, but kikita eh, edi gawing GP.

I'm pretty sure that they'll GP Simpsons as well even if the TV series have been PG the past decade and a half hehe
