Ginawang "MACK" truck si Optimus, diba INTERNATIONAL si Optimus?

Parang mukhang Peterbilt yung truck.

AFAIK, may robot sa Challenge of the GoBots na long-nose tractor rig yung vehicle form. Hindi kaya magkaroon ng copyright issues?

I was about to say "ok na sana, kaya lang Michael Bay ang director" pero naunahan na ako ni baiskee...

I'd probably watch it for the effects, but I'm not expecting much in terms cinematography and direction.

VW wouldn't allow the new beetle to be involved in any war movie/scene, so ayun, they had to look for a new bumblebee car. :D

actually 2 cars ang ginamit kay bumblebee. alam ko camaro yata yun na luma then yun sa pic eh yun bago. alam ko kasi dun sa story si bumblebee ang unang dumating sa earth at hinahabol ng mga decepticons. sumunod lang sina prime para tulungan si bumblebee. not sure though

[tsupermario]

Did anyone notice that they took a shot at VW at the start of the movie when bumblebee smashed the beetle beside him in the used car lot?

More Than Meets the Eye Indeed

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.
