yeah that does suck... what else sucks is I won't be seeing it until the 4th :grr

Why not the third, Hot Rod?

I would say you suck. But we all already know that. :tftongue

Glad you enjoyed the movie pal (and thanks for the info on it).

27th FTL :tdown

awesome review, and i like that HR did it, I'm used to how HR sees things and with a psitive rebiew like that, the last few doubts i had are gone. Thank you!

btw- i just pulled this from Rotten tomatoes and i have to agree with the statements here:

It does all go on too long at times, most notably that last act, yet the scenes that need to be exciting are. ILM's truly jaw-dropping effects not only look practically photo real throughout, but also take into consideration the one thing that far too many films of this type ignore - the laws of physics. Giant robots have mass, intertia, and thousands of complex working parts - something the FX house not only understands but gets right.

Shots like two robots falling off a raised highway or Optimus and Megatron in a death grip as they go flying through a building

(the film's single most epic shot) feel very real which makes the action that much more intense.

 

The two sequences described above made the theater I was in collectively gasp in awe.

 

One of the frustrating things about having seen it early is - i have no one to share my excitement with.... i have to wait a week before anyone else can circle jerk with me on this.

 

 

As a proud New Zealander, i've seen it 3 times in the space of 48 hours.

Dont worry about the stuff you missed Hunter. The DVD will be out before you know it.

DVD? WTF are you talking about? I am hitting the theater again -probably two more times.

I gotta agree with almost everything in the review. There seemed to be a few loose ends at the end, but I guess that's what sequels are for.

I saw it on thursday at a special presantation.... it was bad ass...

 

I could have done without the stupid cheesy cartoon line references in the movie though.... Outside of Megatrons reponse to Prime's line of" One shall stand and one shall fall!" Megatron's comment -that was truelly arrogant!

 

BTW for the rest of TFans- Megatron didn't finish the line like the originally cartoon movie line either!
