Went to see the movie today,had no idea the original Blackbird had a supporting role,brief in original form and no shots of it really flying,but thought the idea was cool.His "character" was a little ironic.Won't say anymore.

lois

So are you saying that it is worth seeing on the big screen, or just wait for it to come out on DVD?

I think this is definitely a Big screen movie, but I still have a 25 in tube tv. I think the second one is better than the first. More action, better fight scenes bigger explosions, typical Bay movie.

I agree--I think this is one of the (many?) instances where the critics (pretty much all of them hated it) are way off the mark. Its being panned for being to loud, having too many fight scenes, and being filled with too many cheesy lines; what the hell do they expect? This ain't James Joyce folks, it a movie about Japanese toys from the 80s...I really enjoyed both movies, and think this one is definitely worth the big screen view.

DeathWish01

exactly why do we worship the sr-71 blackbird? i mean yeah our bikes are named after them... but it would be like comparing lois to all the women in the world named lois... and well im sure the women don't have hairy nipples and a plumbers crack (maybe a few) .... sorry just curious

Mike, its not just being named after the blackbird its the idea of being the fastest on the planet, the sleek lines, the appeal..

If you have to ask i guess you just dont get it...

<shrugs> i thought the sr-71 blackbird lost its speed record ages ago?
but i will agree with you one the sleekness/speed yadda yadda yadda... but our bikes would still be what they are wheather they were called bumblebee's or inchworms

I think it held the record for over 30 years,not too bad at all.

Actually, it's pretty awesome for a plane that was designed, developed and built entirely without the aid of computers. Kelly Johnson was a fricking genius.

And the fact that they have a few slow motion scenes of Megan Foxx running with a small top only adds that much more to a great movie. Cqan't wait for the 3rd one to come out.

I've watched the first so many times I feel like a Transformer junkie. I guess I'll be in the theater this weekend buying popcorn for the first time in about ... can't remember.

Cool, thanks gents...... and ladies too if your watching !!!

ArmyStrong

NOW, I'm gonna go see it!!


small rant follows:

What the hell do they think we go see these types of movies for anyways? A story line?? Get real. Stay as close to the original intent, and most of us will be happy! At least those of us "in the know", anyways. I remember reading some nonsense Howard what's-his-name...yeah, Terrence Howard (he's such a fag, but I like some of his other roles, but I digress...) said about the story in the Iron Man movie, like the message in the movie, comparing it to the manhattan project, the "human" aspect, etc. ...now that I think about it, there were some good points, but that ain't the point! All Iron Man needed to do was kick some a**!! Eff a story line! I guess ultimately the producers need to appeal to the widest possible audience (think Star Wars episodes 1, 2, and 3). And don't get me started on the X-men...

Wait till you see the first scene that Megan Fox is in. My Jaw hit the floor, my wife slapped me cuz I said "Oh my god" out loud

Growler67

This one?

I have to ask as I don't go to the movie theater when school is out. I just can't enjoy a movie that I've paid to see with a bunch of people (kids mostly but not exclusively) talking or texting or otherwise ruining my experience. I'll wait for school to start and go to a mid week matinee.

Some action movies are really enhanced by a deeper theme. Iorn Man missed the mark, but think about The Dark Night. It was as much about the relativlistic nature of morality as it was a comic book superhero movie, and it was all the better for it. One of the best movies Ive seen in a while.

i just watched it today and when they did the slow mo of megan fox running apparently i let out a sigh or a slight "MMmmmm" cuz all i felt was my wifes hand upside my head....

oh and as for the SR-71...
<POSSIBLE SPOILER>
highlight below to view better
WTF is up with him having a cane and lack of memory? i mean it hasn't been THAT long... i could have understood if he was the ford model T or something... but jeeze give him some credit.... he did have some bad ass moves w/ that transporter of his "thank god i got us on the same planet" LMAO!!!

anyway, it was a great movie. Just like the first, its not often anymore where the 2nd movie is just as good or better then the first one.
and im with smurf, i have transformers on bluray and ive at least watched it 50 times (not even close to how many times ive watched boondock saints... NOTHING comes close to that movie)
just remember gents, if your with your wife.... don't oogle megan or pop a tent cuz you won't be gettin any for a while

Now this will date myself a little but what the hell...

I wore out Boondock Saints on VHS when I was in College. Literally the tape broke! I wore out Tommy Boy too, but that one just got all fuzzy, it never broke

CanadianBird

"BlackBird lost its speed record years ago", so did Canadian Bird.

DeathWish01

what do you mean it will date yourself a little? it came out 10 years ago LOL not like it was the 3 stooges or something that some of these guys used to watch..
i didn't even realize it came out on VHS? but yeah ive gone through 3 discs 2 DVDs and now my BLURAY

I meant the fact that I had VHS. Has it only been 10 years??

ArmyStrong

Agreed. With this one action wasn't the main theme, imo. I'd consider it a somewhat action filled drama. I think there's too much drama in most of today's action films; to a point sometimes where it just plays w/my emotions and intellect. When they get it right, it's truly art. Now don't get me wrong, action w/o a decent storyline is much of the same. It's difficult at best, to achieve the right balance. I think the first Star Wars trilogy got it right.


(we may have to split this off topic soon)

Star Wars is more of an Epic (like tolkien) than an action hero movie. Ive even heard someone call it the great American novel.

yup, boondock saints went straight to disc (or apparently also VHS LOL) in 1999
if you really like the movie, get the bluray copy, it comes with the complete script... has a TON of extra stuff that i didn't even see in the special edition DVD's.... sorry back on transformers topic....

well the main reason they made the first trilogy the actual last was because technology wasn't available back then, but george lucas knew that better technology would exist today therefore creating the star wars somewhat backwords. To where the older films were when the empire had fallen and all they had were hunks of junk to fly around in....
at least thats what i saw on TV... (dunno if i can trust the boob tube anymore)
dang... someone should just create a movie's in general topic LOL

I thought Iron Man hit the mark quite effectively. It had several interesting comments about our culture, our many weaknesses, and our redeeming qualities as well. All it was really missing was some hottie in a skimpy outfit (Gwyneth just didn't do it for me) jogging in slow motion.
