It was the intro of the first movie that impressed me initially. I really enjoyed the entire base attack at the beginning, up until that part ends and we get to the classroom scene when we realize that the script sucks. But except for the stupid fart joke with the baby, that battle sequence made me feel like a kid again while watching. The Scorponok fight is similar for me: Great scene, marred by that stupid credit card joke part, which could've been funny... but wasn't. My thoughts were: Terrific battles and transformations... even the story itself wasn't bad (it's a sci-fi movie based on a kid's toy, what do ya expect). They just need to ixnay the Jar-Jar Binx moments and fix the script for the next movie, but unfortunately, Transformers 2 embraced all of the bullshit and ended the chances for this series to be taken seriously as good entertainment. Here's hoping that the new trilogy is better like Bumblebee was, but I have my doubts. |
Personally, I had problems with the transformations. Apart from Optimus Prime, must robot forms don't look like the vehicle they transform into. Starscream had a yellow cockpit on his chest, wings in the back, red and blue on his chest and legs in the comics. In the movie, he's a grey hunk of metal that through the magic of CGI transform into a jet. |
This. The original Transformers, licensed by Hasbro from the Takara toy lines, all had distinctive and unique designs and personalities.
The Bay Transformers are just variations on the same thing.
