I thought the ghettoblaster/radio-thing was supposed to be Soundwave?

“Soundwave Superior. I-Pod thing inferior.”

I'm gonna go with my theory that he isn't Soundwave.

Wiki agrees:

2006 script reviews named Soundwave as a spying boombox on Air Force One, able to transform into a small robot, but eventually, this character was amended to being Frenzy, with Don Murphy stating that Soundwave will be reserved for a future sequel, until they can "do him right."

Well I thought it was the best Michael Bay movie yet. However, it's still a Michael Bay movie.

So you have lots of nice shots
Tons of great action
AWESOME Robots
lots of plot holes
tons of action just for the sake of action, plot be damned
completely stupid characters

however, Megan Fox wow!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plus John Turturro was really funny

Saw it tonight and it wasn't too bad. But it ain't 8,4 (its IMDB rating) on my scale, more like 6,4.

Too fast. Speed hides a lot, half of the movie is a blur of shiny metal and wires with an occassional explosion. There are some of us who would have appreciated more detail.

But in the row behind me there were some kids, and I heard them giggling at the radio bot, being impressed by Optimus Prime and so on... for kids, this movie was brilliant

8.4 on imdb?!?
wow usually imdb is a tough crowd...

Just finished watching it. It's been a long time since I've seen a movie that I wouldn't have minded paying for a full-price ticket (provided matinée time slots were unavailable). It was pretty damn good, much better than I expected, but I had some issues:

Spoiler:

I (and everyone else in the galaxy) really could have done without that contrived Section 7 character. Seriously, dude, stfu. Everyone else was taking their roles seriously: Pentagon people acting like Pentagon people, soldiers acting like soldiers (when they weren't acting like babydaddy ... geez, was that sideline necessary?), teenagers acting like teenagers, giant shape-shifting robots from outer space acting, um, ghetto ... that's Jazz for you, when in Rome and all that. But this guy? He totally threw-off every scene he was in. Every line that came out of his mouth was groan-inducing. Fortunately, his twin putz brother only had one scene and it was mercifully short. Probably transfered in from Reno 911.

The Transformers themselves had waaay too many changey bits. As others have said, slowing things down to show detail might have been nice, otherwise it was all so much epileptic fit-inducing flashy shiny stuff.

While there were a few chunks of wtf? this movie was, as eloquently stated earlier, made (almost) entirely out of awesome.



Please note: "Giant shape-shifting robots from outer space" are awesome in any context. God bless the Japanese and their bizarre quirks and fetishes. Ok, maybe not so much the fetishes...

btw Ecthy, Heresson etc could people in the eastern block watch transformers, thundercats, gi joe etc in the 80´s?

I believe not. In Poland, western comic books of this kind appeared after the fall of communism, though there was a single, seemingly not official Superman comic book earlier.

I have almost all early comic books published in Poland in my basement

Spec.

[Wiglaf]

That is such a dorky white guy phrase.

No Sound Wave (I know I am behind)

The best part was the opening scene when that helicopter dude wastes the entire base in Qatar (been there, it is a concrete shack in the middle of an empty airbase).

That was cool, except why did they not do the same think in the ending sequence when just trying to kill a squad of eight AF douchbags?

And what is up with the AF anyways? "We can't accomplish this without the airforce?" Why exactly?

And F-22s do not have a ground attack capability, they should have stuck with the A-10s.
