Sweet Jebus Allmighty. You cannot tell me that they failed to capture Transformers spirit. Amazing.

Here,Here, Master Fwiffo!

Looks like big robots fighting to me. Yes, it looks very nice, but it does not capture the Transformers feeling or look (in any way).


Oh, and Optimus's face is still horrible.


(I did like Cullen's voice though, sounded better here)

While I'm no supporter of the movie, I have never disagreed with the notion the FX would be great until last night.

I was watching the awards with my roomate, and when we saw the Prime fighting clip we were both very dissapointed. It just didn't look right at all to me. It almost seemed too "plastic-y" and the way the individual pieces that were hanging off were animated just seemed off. I know there's always the argument that because it's a non-plausible character in the real world that your brain won't completely accept it. I don't think that's the case here. Mt design opinion aside, I do not like how they (TF's) look when animated at all.

Also finally seeing the Prime's mouth in motion (and at a decent size) I definately wish they would've kept the face plate up.

The problem with banking on CGI effects to sell a movie -- any movie -- is that so much has been done already it's hard for anything to really take your breath away, you know?

I'm quite disappointed the way poisoncow is in that the transformations for me lack punch, weight and credibility. The vehicles seem to dissolve into the bot modes, which is quite unsatisfying.

I wasn't impressed by the clips. Its okay I guess. Just doesn't envoke the Transformers I know.

It was shameless how Transformers won 'Most anticipated movie coming out this summer.' Was there any doubt that it wasn't going to win? Everything about the awards show had a subtle robot feel to it. The transforming dog that Sarah rode in on, the transforming best (insert here) catagory, MTV 2007 awards icon transforming, etc.

By the way, Sarah Silverman was totally unfunny. So was Dane Cook. I hate both those comedians. Their jokes are dumb. No one was really laughing. Sounded more like they where trying to laugh. Big applause & laugh signs where probably going off. Everyone clap now. Very drool.

Sarah after Rhianna's song performance of her hit Umbrella. "I wouldn't want to sing that song indoors." "Rhianna's mother is named Umbrella. Huh? Absolutely the worst MTV awards show ever!

I noticed the more subtle references as well. My roomate and I were discussing how this (TF) movie is being "whored" out more than any movie we could recall. I can't turn anywhere without seeing TF's. The movie awards were ridiculous as far as TF's went, and if the category for "best Summer movie you haven't seen" wasn't a studio throwing money around, I don't know what is (Unless this has been an award before).

Even without the merchandise though, this movie is everywhere. If it wasn't TF's and hadn't promised people I'd go, I wouldn't at this point. Not because of my apprehension over what I've seen. But because I'm sick of seeing and hearing about it (though I'm on a TF board right now). I didn't see Spidey 3 or Pirates (2 or 3) because of all the hype, TF's now feels the same

To be fair to both, I think what people prefer as far as transformations goes depends on how the aesthetics of the bots rub you. The movie bots couldn't transform like a G1 bot and vice versa.

I think what most traditionalists (see i didn't say Gee-Wunners) find appealing about the older transformation is it's plausible to follow the transformation. Like a puzzle they're (myself included) able to deicpher and figure out either just visually or represented in toy form. The movie transformations seem almost too complicated at times (not saying bad, just not my cup of tea)

With that said, I'll say what I always say, The movie bots aren't too far away from the point where some minor-major design choices/changes could have been made to compromise a more traditional aesthetic while creating a new and very different bot. I still think prime isn't so bad (although he's the only I like), and if he had just a few changes I could love him as much as a G1,RID or Cybertron Prime. It was a fine line to walk, and I think Bay and Company were poor tightrope walkers.

No person can work out Frenzy's transformation.

Wait - I think it's something like this:

*rattles some cutlery in a box*

But less impressive.

Master Fwiffo, I wonder why you're here..
