And you left out the kiss with the sun setting in the background from Pearl Harbor. Did we have a hero-strut away from an explosion (ala Bad Boys) somewhere in there at all? <BR/><BR/>As for the next movie, I personally vote for Hot Rod, or Rodimus as they're calling him nowadays (one way or another that San Diego Comic Con exclusive will be mine). He better not get Optimus shot again though!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11805722195900855863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867660884980504124.post-59985877322647042392007-07-13T09:12:00.000-04:002007-07-13T09:12:00.000-04:00Also should be mentioned in the "niggling points, ...Also should be mentioned in the "niggling points, bad" category is the fact that Devestator appeared in this film as a tank, as did Bonecrusher as some construction vehicle other than a bulldozer--all the while, internet rumor has it in good faith that along with the Dinobots, the Constructicons will be featured in the sequel. <BR/><BR/>What are we to do with this? Will the gestalt giant robot formed by the Constructicons (sans bulldozer) be called by another name? Will they siphon from other giants like Bruticus, Menasor, or Abominus? <BR/><BR/>I enjoyed the movie, but I simply can't abide by a misrepresentation of Bruticus.<BR/><BR/>Also also niggling was that it seemed Bay used his car chase stencil from The Island, the scene where the good guy tells the gov'ment what he wants (no taxes...ever) from Armageddon, and the slo-mo running on a roof with flares from The Rock. <BR/><BR/>Other than all that, watching Starscream dogfight with the F-22 Raptors had me squeeling.DannyDonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02303868841170247413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867660884980504124.post-26573590359830144822007-07-11T22:25:00.000-04:002007-07-11T22:25:00.000-04:00I haven't seen this yet, so I have nothing to say ...I haven't seen this yet, so I have nothing to say about what you said.

As was said earlier, some people like my sister have no interest in the movie and probably won't really like the action/fighting etc. Interestingly enough, if you read the comic adaptation of the movie the hacker plot is almost entirely cut out.<BR/><BR/>In general, I thought the movie was pretty cool and entertaining enough to watch again and again. Shia does a great job with his role. Even after watching it on the big screen, I still don't like the general robot aesthetic that much though.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I agree. The Allspark could always have some delayed reaction with Megatron to make him into a super powerful Galvatron.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5867660884980504124.post-27118291103861915302007-07-04T09:32:00.000-04:002007-07-04T09:32:00.000-04:00Having seen more than a handful of Michael Bay's m...Having seen more than a handful of Michael Bay's movies to date, I have to say that it was a cut above his usual level of Bay-gasm. And he managed to use all of the standard shots in his repertoire... .<BR/><BR/>I still contend that the ending was a set up for the green-lit sequel. But also enough of an ending so that if they didn't green light a sequel, it'd be enough of an ending to be somewhat satisfying, plot holes notwithstanding.*(spoiler to follow with *)<BR/><BR/>Ah... the hackers. Completely superfluous, and only there to add a bit of exposition, eye candy (whose ausie accent is in fact really, horrible, but real, and why is an ausie working for the NSA anyway?), and comic relief. So at the very least, that subplot wasn't as completely superfluous as the Dory Miller plot in Pearl Harbor.<BR/><BR/>At any rate, I liked it. And Duvall, you missed commenting on the best part... <BR/><BR/>ninjas. <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>*SPOILER: e.g. M can still come back.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11805722195900855863noreply@blogger.com
