Official Transformer Movie Review Thread!!! - Spoiler Free until July 4th!

[nash]

saw the film last night and all i can say is, it gave me serious eye strain. did anyone notice that a majority of the camera shots had you looking directly into either smoke or light? especially from the second half on. every couple of seconds you were either looking into the sun, a spotlight, a flashlight, an explosion, or fire. And just as your eyes were adjusting, another flash would make you see spots again. now i don't know if it's the director, michael bay, or the lighting guy who is responsible, but it made it very difficult to follow the fast moving action. i mean jesus, it was like it had been filmed by a guy in film school that didn't know better not to look into the sun. it kind of pissed me off because i could have really enjoyed it if it wasn't for that. but megan fox was UNBELIEVABLE!!! WOW!!! what a hottie!

Were you on XTC?

not even close. this film's cinematography was the anti-viagra. my buddy started saying light or smoke everytime the camera shot warranted it. and he was saying this every few seconds.

Gotta agree there, Tyler, I have no clue what you're talking about, I didn't find the lighting overwhelming or anything.

this is curious. nobody else saw several camera shots into a shining sun, helicopter spotlight, flashlight, explosion or fire, although it was for a brief second but happened continuously in the movie? it seemed very obvious to us. see it again and look for it.

I know exactly what tylerd was talking about. Heck, I love that about Bay movies, where he always gets those cool lighting scenes.. yes like Iron Hide jumping over the screaming Eva Langoria chick.. heck, the strong light, be it from a Transformer, the Sun, or Shea's flashlight would be shooting in your face.. definitely need shades for that movie.

It's okay tylerd, they're a slow bunch but they'll come around.

hehe

I noticed shots like that but it didn't affect my eyes any, your initial comment sounds like it hurt your eyes as if you were really there.

Perhaps Megan Fox's fine ass and badass robots had me too occupied to notice the lighting, cept when it worked to hug her sweet curves

It kicked a Major's ass? Dayum! Was the Major mad? Did it tell the movie to do 20 pushups on the spot and peel a 100 potatoes?

Yes, Busty Larue was a hot one for sure!

That's Michael Bay's style... keep the audience continuously distracted so they won't realize just how bad the movie really sucks.

Gee, I wonder if you have a big disliking for Michael Bay and Transformers the movie Dave.

You sure like to beat a dead horse until it's nothing but pulp, and beat that pulp into nothing but thin air, and beat that thin air... you get what I mean.
