transformers

Is the most awesome movie this summer.

Yes. I don't even think the upcoming Harry Potter flick can top it. And it is definitely way more entertaining that Pirates or Ocean's or Spidey. Yes, Transformers is that awesome.

Disclaimer: I'm not a hard-core Transformers fan, so I can't tell you if it is true to the original stuff.

The reason I got interested in the movie is Josh Duhamel, and then I read up more on Transformers and it just got cooler and cooler, and eventually, it became my most anticipated summer blockbuster. And it doesn't disappoint. The movie start with a bang and the momentum just carries you through the entire 140 minutes. Michael Bay seemed to know exactly what he was doing. The bots and the battle sequences were all visually stunning and I love the sound effects. It has the right blend of action, drama, humor, along with the subtle romance between the two leads, enough to make the general movie-goers happy and keep the fanboys from freaking out. It is ultimately all about the robots, not the romance. Although Shia was absolutely lovable in his lead role, and Josh was absolutely HOT.

Also, TV fans, check out all the sweet cameos. Las Vegas's Danny McCoy (obviously). Prison Break's Fernando Sucre (oh how I missed his Spanish). Supernatural's Mary Winchester (ever the loving wife and mother). One Tree Hill's Jimmy Edwards (still as geeky).

So yeah, I'm probably gonna go catch it in theaters a second time next week.

I didn't even know of it before I stepped into the cinema, so I was kinda surprised when she first appeared. I think I got a little over-excited. =D

Yeah. lol Did people start to stare when you got over-excited? lmfao.

I'm so excited for Transformers. I'm not familiar with them whatsoever but I knew that Josh Duhamel was in the movie so that makes the movie a must-see for me. I am definitely going watch it next week once it hits theatres.

This post made me so much more excited, Alexis!! =D

Heh, looks like we're the same. Josh kinda sealed the deal for me too. Hope you enjoy the movie as much as I did. =D

Gah! Must you make me more excited than I already been since I heard that there's gonna be a Transformers movie?! Geez! >.<
*will continue to be patient lalalalalalalalala*

Heh. Just a few more days. It's worth the wait. =)

OMG! I love you so much right now. No one in my "real life" is excited about seeing Transformers. So it's great to finally see all my livejournal friends catching on.

For the past several weeks I've been obsessed with it. I loved Transformers growing up, and the movie looks so intense, not like a lame little sequel like Teenage mutant Ninja Turtles. God, I can't wait! Except I'm really worried Micheal Bay is going to screw everything up. But I've read up on most of the changes he's made, so I think I'm prepared. You're right, Josh is extremely hot.

And I'm so jealous that you've already seen it! I have to wait until next week!

I know! I have to try so hard to convince my best friend to watch it with me. After the movie, she was so blown away that she declared it the best movie this year. Awesome, isn't it?

I wasn't really into it as a kid, so I can't really tell you how it is compared to the old stuff, but go with an open mind. I think you would really enjoy it. ;)

Woah.
I know what movie I'm seeing next in theaters.

[identity profile] somersaulter.livejournal.com 2007-07-01 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yes. ;)

I don't know much about Transformers, except the basic facts and the awesomely awesome (cartoon) theme song "TRANSFORMERS- MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE..." which I keep singing every time I see/hear anything concerning Trasnformers :D but I'm hella excited for this movie (the trailers already blew me away). Your review made me want to see it even moar!!! Guhh unfortunately it opens August 3rd over here.

It is ultimately all about the robots, not the romance.
This somehow makes me very giddy, even though I'm a secret romantic at heart.

August 3rd? Damn, that's so far away! If you think the trailer is awesome, wait till you see the whole thing!

Yeah, I'm kinda a romantic at heart too, but if they made it into a romance movie, I would have been so pissed. I'm sure all the fanboys out there would too. ;)

[identity profile] lookat-thestars.livejournal.com 2007-06-28 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I have to admit, the movie looks damn good from what I've seen on tv.

[identity profile] somersaulter.livejournal.com 2007-07-01 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
Hee, go watch it. The whole thing is even better.

[identity profile] misshallelujah.livejournal.com 2007-06-29 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Mary Winchester was in it?! HOLY CRAP

[identity profile] somersaulter.livejournal.com 2007-07-01 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
OH YEAH. I think I got a little over-excited when she first appeared. =P

I want to see this movie, but I cannot stand Megan Fox, AT ALL. ;

[identity profile] somersaulter.livejournal.com 2007-07-01 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
Eek! That sucks. Why not?

[identity profile] whitepalms.livejournal.com 2007-07-02 09:15 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. I think she's the same in every role she does and I just cannot stand her. >< Argh. She gives me high blood pressure.
