Now missing SDCC is making me feel good.

Some people don't deserve to be rendered in cartoon form...

Saw this today for the second time. This time, at IMAX. Just AWESOME!!
It was a while since I last went there, so I thought this was a great opportunity to go again. What an experience. I forgot how great it was.

That's pretty cool. It's like a cross between Gen1 and the movie designs.

The action was great, but everything else...

WTF was that terminator hot chick transformer?

I hated that scene!!

 

[The Ringer]

I loved it!

Megan Fox was a thing of 2007 but its all about Isabel Lucas for me know.

Saw the movie today. I enjoyed it overall. There are parts that were just bad such as several ball jokes that were just not needed. Skidz and Mudflap having to be "street" like jazz in the first movie was also a bit much at times as well. And while I do personally fid Megan Fox to be very sexy I think they took way too many shots of just trying to put her in sexy positions just to put her in sexy positions. I also thought some parts drug on way too long like Sam trying to get to Prime toward the end. Just get there already!


That's really the only negative stuff for me. Overall I did find it entertaining and liked it.

As P!tu pointed out she is a pretender....

Pretenders is a subline within the Transformers toy line, introduced in 1988. The gimmick was that the Transformers were supposedly capable of disguising their robotic forms through the use of synthetic organic outer shells.

Metalhawk was the leader of the Autobot Pretenders

Metalhawk is the leader of the Autobot Pretenders and the Junior Headmasters in the Masterforce portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

Metalhawk is armed with the Titanium Saber, which can deflect lasers with its flat planes. Also possesses knock out gas and a rifle.

His human form is referred to as Hawk, though the Headmasters Junior refer to him as Hawk-san ("san" is a respectful term for an elder). When in human form, he is seen wearing a business suit. Is given to shout "Suit On" when he requires his Pretender Shell and to shout "Pretender" when he wishes to attain robot form.

Its also a bit of a nod to the the episode "Only Human"

Tired of the Autobots interfering with his operations, Drath contacts the mysterious Old Snake who apparently ran some kind of terrorist organization in the past. Drath purchases Old Snake's assistance and technology, setting up a laboratory at his home. Lured to the laboratory, Rodimus, Ultra Magnus, Arcee and Springer are trapped and their minds transferred into newly created synthoid human bodies. While the human Autobots are taken away to be disposed at the junk yard, Snake suggests that Drath can make use of the Autobots' former robot bodies

ok, i waited 3 weeks to see this in the hopes the hype would die down and i could see it in a somewhat subdued theater experience.

boy am i stupid.

the movie would have been a decent follow up to TF, nothing ground breaking or epic, but a good popcorn action flick. typical michael bay flare.

i would have more to say about the movie had i not been distracted through the whole thing by a walking stereotype with her food stamp kids. now, i'm not going to call out races, but gimme a break. apparently what you see in stand up routines, comedies, and satire's are not exaggerations.

if the children weren't climbing all over the seats and on other patrons hooting and hollering, this rotund beast was talking to the movie like it was going to respond to her and making calls on her cell phone.

before i end this tirade, don't start with all the PC nonsense about me being racially insensitive or a bigot. this idiot and her brood could have been green with sparkly antennae and i'd have been equally pissed off.

i'll guess i'll get a better feel for the movie on video. that's the last time i'm going to a theater.

 

[CelticPredator]

So....she was black? Chinese? Latino? Klingon?

Why didnt you say something? I know if some moron had been doing that in my theatre id have raised hell.

When dealing with this type of person you have to be somewhat careful. She clearly did not care who she or her kids bothered and if you say something she WILL cause a major scene because you can usually pick out the type of person who would THRIVE on a conflict in public and this woman sounds exactly like that type. She's the type who's almost HOPING someone will say something and when you do just sit back and watch the show she would put on. She would probably bring race into the issue which would just turn it into an even bigger mess.

It would probably result in both parties being thrown out. I am the type who would usually say something too, but when you're dealing with the type of person who THRIVES on conflict ( and trust me, from what's described I promise you she is ) then you end up with a big scene on your hands.

No matter a persons race you can generally pick out the people ( in about 2 seconds ) who are LOOKING for some type of conflict.

i didn't do anything mainly because it would have spun out of control. i have a bad temper when i comes to disrespectful people.

I dealt with three kids who lacked theatre etiquette when my wife and I saw the film on opening weekend. If I was in that situation I would have stepped out and asked to see the manager. Tell him/her that your theatre experience has been ruined and you demand a refund/gift certificate and tell him/her that you'll let the rest of the entire theatre know that they should ask for the same unless this ignorant patron is tossed.

People like this make me less and less inclined to go out to see movies anymore...
