I predict it to win an Oscar for best special effects. Maybe sound too.

I saw TRANSFORMERS today and was underwhelmed. It certainly had non-stop action, but too much of it. They could cut 30 minutes and no one would miss it.
Not having grown up with Transformer toys, I found the whole idea of morphing machines to be delightful and something different.
Edit, edit, edit. Every director needs to learn that skill early.
And yes, Michael Bay loves his explosions.

Today I saw Transformers, and I enjoyed it! High quality CGI, great sound effect, skillful edit & cinematography.....well, they were excellent except for cheap story and idiot people in NSA. They guessed those robots were made in North Korea or China! I can't believe it! North Korea?! Damned idiots! He he he... *coughs* Sorry, I couldn't resist. :p
Anyway, it was a fun movie. Great action scenes, a little funny humor. What was so funny was "Japanese giant toys assaulted America."
And, I thought Transformers shouldn't speak the words. I felt they are cool, until they speak. I felt it corny.

Ironhide. Despite a bloodthirstiness to his attitude, is still my favorite autobot

LOVED the movie. Wished it had more Starscream in it.

Awful.
The first hour was okay, but once the robots turn up it was a mess.
I can normally put up with the Michael Bay naffness in his films, but coupled with the naffness of the last hour and a half it was too much. I couldn't wait for it to end, every slow mo felt like my life draining away.
Shia LeBouf came across well and Megan Fox was nice to look at though.

Well, maybe not so crazy after all, judging by your comments re: Ms. Fox.
Transformers - SickThing - 09-12-2007
I finally caught Transformers last weekend. Wow! My family and I loved it. I was expecting it to be entertaining, but I didn't expect it to be as good as it was. Yes, a couple of scenes went on too long (the end and the scene with the Autobots in Sam's yard), but those are small quibbles.
The CGI was excellent 95% of the time. Oddly enough, the giant robots were much more effective and realistic than the little appliance-bots. The CGI for those wasn't entirely convincing in some scenes, for some reason.
I'd like to see it again before it leaves theaters. The DVD comes out in a month....
