Transformers (2007)

From Comics to Movie and Back to the Comics...

Wow, with 807 reviews, mine probably won't even see the light of day, however, if you are reading this and you want to get all you can (or your kids) out of this movie then please follow these directions.
1) Buy the comic - SAGA OF ALLSPARK (Transformers) as of 9/08 only three (3) issues of five (5) are currently available to the public, but the remaining two will follow shortly.

2) Watch the Transformers movie

3) Buy the comic - "Reign of Starscream" (Transformers) - this is a 5 issue comic book series or you can buy the TPB when it is available in a month or so.

You see, by reading the comics in the correct order, you WILL have a better understanding of exactly what is going on in the movie and it will make better sense. Not that it is absolutely necessary to do it this way but it again WILL make the Transformers experience a better one, making it more enjoyable.

What gets me however is that every single adult I have spoken to says they did not like the movie and I think its because of the back story. Without it, it's sort of like walking into a movie after the movie is half over. You're gonna miss allot that way. Well, the same ALMOST applies to the Transformer movie, again almost. Certainly you can watch the movie and that would be the end of it, but for the serious fan, first buy the comic prequel (Allspark) THEN watch the movie, then buy the comic sequel (Starscream).

In the mean time, as an adult myself, I feel this movie is darn good. Like for instance the scene at the airport when the little robot is sneaking past the people in order to get into the police car, well, he cups his hand/metal hand that it over his eyes in order to hide himself. It was so absurd it was hilarious.

Watch it again, you'll like it. An even better idea is to watch it again with your kids, both of you will enjoy yourselves, trust me. September 1, 2008

Not what I expected

Me and my husband have a movie day of the week, were we watch a movie relax and all that when the kids are sleeping, I knew he would love this movie so i orderd it, I was like omg this movie is going to suck big time. But then it did not, it was fun, filled with action and it had a nice story. So I was so surpriced.

Only thing I got to compain about is that the movie cover was all blue there was not a singel text line on anything, so I think theres a front cover missing?

Anyway cant wait for nr 2 to come on dvd. :o)

It gets better each time I watch it

This film definitely gets better each time I watch it. When it first came out on the Big Screen... perhaps because there was so much to take in, I found myself a bit critical of it. It has since been showing on HBO,so like I have had the opportunity to watch it over and over again. After the 10th time watching it on HBO, I decided to buy it myself, so I can watch it when I want to. The very scenes that I remember thinking where dorky when I saw it on the Big Screen, now I see are some of the funniest scene's in the film. 5 Stars from me. September 1, 2008

To clear things up

First let me say I enjoyed this movie, not for the acting or the writing but mostly for the realistic vision of my child hood memories on the screen. If you have never seen transformers or know nothing about them then you will enjoy this more than some, I was disapointed in some areas ill say for sure.
I have read alot of god awful reviews on this movie most saying they diddnt like it because"oh like that would happen!" this movie is about robots from space!? of course it would never happen its a movie!!! take this movie as it is a movie. Clique in parts funny in other fart joke here its just a standard movie nothing overwhelmingly special but definitly not the worst movie ever made watch lady in the water now thats a negative 5 stars.

TRANSFORMERS is AWESOME!!!

This is an awesome action-robot film based on some action figures! I watched this movie some time last year, then three months ago, back when I was a senior in high school, our English teacher let us watch this, and I'm glad she did because I forgot how cool it was! Sam Witwicky buys a car that happens to be an Autobot named Bumblebee. Sam is introduced to other Autobots, named Optimus Prime, Jazz, and others. (Our dog's name is Jazz!) The Autobots have to save the world and stop the evil Decepticons, and their leader, Megatron. There is a lot of action, gun-play, and robots fighting, if you love that, and a little comedy, you'll love TRANSFORMERS!!! August 23, 2008
