Transformers Live Action Movie

[sethsez]

Anybody who complains about product placement in a Transformers movie needs to turn their brain in because they're clearly not using it. This isn't like I, Robot where the source material was Asimov... it's fucking Transformers.

One word: EPIC

Who gives a fuck about the product placement? My friend thought they the US Army was recruiting with the "you're a soldier now" remark made to Sam. (Note: His name is Sam.. Uncle Sam.. uh oh)

Also, Megan Fox = HOTTEST GIRL EVER.

Movie = Awesome. Megan Fox = Holy fucking hell that's hot!

I was talking with my girlfriend about the product placement afterwards, and here is what she said about it. "Well duh, of course they're going to have that kind of stuff in the movies, who wants to see a generic car transform?"

The only thing I thought was a bit over the top was the Dew, and 360. But that was like a total of 10 seconds.

After absorbing it, I still say very good, not great. But shit, that still means it was very good.

More attention on the Transformers and their interaction in the sequel and less on the humans and I'll be very happy.

I also think the Transformer's designs were a tad too busy and made it hard to tell them apart at times, especially the faces. But overall, I liked the designs.

And there's no way I'm going to bitch about possible plot holes in a movie of this type, but how did Prime know that Megatron accidently projected the Allspark's location onto Sam's Great-Grandfather's glasses?

And how did the Decepticons know Megatron was on Earth? I mean, he'd been there for thousands of years, the humans said. You'd think someone would have rescued him before now.

What I'm wondering...

What of the virus left in the entire world's network?

Good question. They never said what happened with that, did they?

It was pretty obvious that the Allspark survived as Prime took the shard out of Megatron's chest

Yeah, but Prime flat-out said it was destroyed. But who knows?

I didn't think the product placement was that in your face.

Me either. I've seen movies that go 500% out of their way to make sure a product's logo was right in your face for half the movie. Here, it felt much more organic, and even funny at times. I had no problem whatsoever with the product placement- it wasn't invasive at all.

Shit they barely showed what kind of cars the Tranformers turned into.

Oh, yes they did.

A Mountain Dew vending machine turned into a robot and started firing cans of 'Dew out of it's cannons. I thought that was funny as hell tho'.

I didn't notice it was actually firing cans of Dew. That shit's funny.

But werent the G1 transformers nothing more than a commercial for the toys? is anyone really surprised bout the product placement,from a move based on a cartoon, that itself was product placement?

Good point.

Hell even CG fight sequences suffered from overly shaky camera.

Yes, they did. I hate the fucking shaky camera...

The whole looking for the glasses sequence was funny, but very very drawn out.

This is true. I loved the sequence, but it did start to drag on and on after a while. Ironhide wanting to "take out" the parents was hilarious, however.

Jazz got owned, but half the audience didnt even notice, and that should have been more drawn out as a devistating loss to the Autobots, not lulz at home with mom and pop.

Yeah, they glossed that over. I would have also liked bigger introductions to the Decpticons as well.

Not enough transformers, too much pseudo love story that wasnt very developed as it was.

Correct.

Also, Megan Fox = HOTTEST GIRL EVER.

She's hot, alright. But she's in one of this month's mens magazines, Maxim or something, and she has the worst tattoos you've ever seen on a human being. Seriously, they're the type of tattoos a retard (yes, an actual retard) would choose if you gave them $500, sent them to a tattoo parlor and told them to go nuts. I almost thought they were a joke until I read the interview and found out they were real. Horrible.

Wow. I didn't even think of all that. They covered it in the prequel comic I read, but now that you mention it, they really should have put it in the movie too...

The Allspark calls out to the Transformers. That's how they were able to find it/Earth.

The Allspark only calls out once every 1000 years. That's why it took them so long to find it.

Megatron had some sort of bond with the Allspark. That's why he was able to find it 10,000 years before anybody else.

When Sam's GGF fell down the hole, he touched megatron, which then started up his nav sys/beacon. They say this in the movie, did you also have an issue figuring out while the kraken was dead in At Worlds End?

Well, that answers a lot. But We still don't know how Prime knew that Megatron projected the Allspark's location onto the glasses 100 years ago. I mean, you'd have to be there when it happened to know that.

Did the sys/beacon tell all the Transformers that the map to the Allspark was on the old man's glasses too?

This sentance doesn't even make sense, but your mean intent is clear. Stop being a cunt.

Given that ladiesman217 has a very decent upclose photo of the glasses with the lenses in focus, they may have just figured it out from that.

I could go edit while to be why, and edit your quote too.

I lose at trolling and writing.
