This is one of the most well written, well directed films I have ever seen. This movie is so underappreciated for the magnificence of this film! Only 221 people including myself at the time of this review saw this film out of the entire Flixster community.
Incredibly well written it's the kind of film that a lot of people had no desire to see, but has to be one of the best films ever written. Truely an amazing cult classic!
Well this week I went to the local movie theatre to go see TRANSFORMERS I'm a pretty good fan of the original series so I was hoping to expect some good stuff. The movie was great how my Movie Tuesdays work is I try to watch one movie that week either at the show or one that's on dvd and then review it for Tuesday. This means I either watch the movie that day, the weekend before, or the Monday before. Anyway I try to review each aspect of the movie without giving any spoilers. Then I give my final judgement weather you should tell the movie "Got the pitch" or "Hit the ditch". Tried to think of something that rhymed. Alright let's start off. GRAPHICS Transformers doesn't disappoint in this aspect at all. I'd have to say it's the best graphics I've seen in a movie yet. The CGI was amazing. The detail and transformations of the characters where great. Everything was shiny. Only problem with the graphics is that they totally changed Ironhide and Bumblebee. Storyline What is kind of unexpected is they only followed same fanbased aspecs of Generation One. What I mean is that they didn't make it so fanbased of a movie that only fans of the original series could understand the movie. There was little to no mention of cybertron or energon cubes. Completely new story around transformers, but not like the original series. Voice Acting The movie did really good with voice acting. They even got Peter Cullen to do the voice of Optimus Prime which original transformers fans will know. Other than that I did not like that the voices of some other characters were completely different. The least they could of did was get a freaken impersonator to do the voices. The new voices just seemed lame and boring. Characters NO! NO! (and for the last time) NO! Optimus Prime does NOT look good with flames on him. What were you thinking? Flames do not make Prime look more badass. If that's not bad enough Bumblebee's a fucken sports car! A camaro to be exact and don't say "But Adam it's a cool sportcar..." don't give me that crap Bumblebee was meant to be the fricken beatle he was in the original show. Also they seemed to have forgotten to put some lead characters in. No soundwave, shockwave, rumble, bulldozer... next you'll tell me that Ironhide is a GMC SUV/Truck oh that's right that's because he is. Huge disappointment with how they updated the characters if you're going for a kickass film please leave the already kickass characters the same. That's right I'm talking to you hollywood fucktards! Directing You mean there were people in the movie to direct? With all the fast fight scenes and badass graphics it was hard to notice anything resembling flesh on the big screen. Although when they were on they appeared for too damn long I want to see more Autobot and Decepticon carnage. Review Points +Optimus Prime is pretty unchanged -Prime does not look good with flames -Looks like Megatron got hit with an ugly bat +Great use of CGI +Funny Jokes +Lots of quotes from Generation one -Missing characters +Michael Bay directed it +Spielburg coproduced something lately that isn't shit -Too much human shots needs more carnage -Megatron didn't transform into that so called "world's strongest weapon" Review Roundup Overall the movie still gets my high mark and is officially my favorite movie. It deserves a 5/5 and that's what it gets. Those aren't pity points either. Of course there will still be those few downers who complain about it as much as or more than me but hate it. Either way it's still a box office blowout so far it's raked in $70.5 million according to Fandango.com. That's it for this week's Movie Tuesday hope everyone enjoys the review. More to come next week.
Sadly the majority of people who saw this film never heard of the original skits on Da Ali G Show. This movie had it's moments, but it definately did not live up to the skits.
What's funnier than a college student that makes up his own college along with the courses? Well I can think of a lot of thing's but this movie is truely downright amazing.
The Mummy is an amazing action flick. The comedic factor of the movie is an ok "fill-in" bit to make character development. The movie wasn't meant to be "funny", but did good at what it was meant to do.
The movie was great there were a ton of parodies in the film from Mad Max to Grand Theft Auto. Defiantely worth going to see for long time fans of the series. Also respect the rating it's not meant to be a kids film don't complain that it wasn't.
Great movie very well written the movie's funny with good acting defiantely does a good job at everything. Defiantely an unlikely plot, but that's truely part of the humor in the movie.
Great movie Lucas is one of the reasons this film is worth watching for. Lucas's part and character was so well written making Lucas look Prince-esque was defiantely a good decision.
It's one of those goofy comedies that really made the 90s the movie age. Although most viewers would rather watch other films if you're a normal teenage viewer who thinks that making a movie out of stoner's is funny than this is for you.
It's one of those semi-cult classics where only a select number of people will truely appreciate this film for what it is. Yes, it is a musical-romantic-comedy, but it does a funny look at these categories with a strange storyline.
I'm a huge "The Beatles" fan so naturely I liked this film. A lot of people say it ruined a lot of Beatles songs, but yet again this was coming from someone in a review who couldn't even spell Beatles right. Aerosmith kind of butchered their one song they covered. Maxwell's Silver Hammer cover was also pretty bad the rest was actually a pretty good turn on beatles songs.
Great film if you enjoyed other films like "School of Schoundrels", "Bad Santa", or "Accepted" you'll really enjoy "Mr. Woodcock". Funny film although Amy Poehler is listed high in the credits she only appears for about 15 minutes of the film. A lot like the other slapstick comedy that Billy Bob Thorton has done recently in his career.
Great true story I thought this movie adaptation was good besides that Tucker's "team" raced the "Tucker" after the court case and not before. Currently 47/51 Tucker's produced still are existing today one of which is owned by George Lucas.
Much like other Robin Williams films "Bicentennial Man" is compelling and an emotional masterpiece. This film deserves a high grade and is well underlooked.
