Being a fan of Import cars, seeing those GM cars roll over Benz's and Beamers sucked. :x But with that aside, the movie was decent. As ASDF said, there were some cheesey moments, and a couple of my friends who were into the original Transformers lamented on the ending since supposedly, the cube could only be inserted into Optimus Prime to end the feud. Kinda silly for Optimus to play the hero and everything when he could've just stuck the cube into Megatron and just call it a day. :lol:

BTW, anyone saw the trailer for Rush Hour 3? I can't wait till it comes out. Sun Ming Ming FTW.

I darn envy you for seeing the Transformers movie. :(

1st Hitman Movie Trailer

I think producers are running out of ideas on making movies. If this one comes out good, I'll be surprised. Playing the game is really cool, I wonder how would they make the viewers feel the game by watching the movie.

I'm waiting for this too. I miss Jackie Chan films.

I can't believe any of you liked the Transformers. How awful was that movie. Michael Bay is the worst person that does anything with movies in the world.

It wasn't anything too amazing I admit, but that doesn't mean that it wasn't entertaining. The movie was really geared towards the fans of the previous series, that's for sure.

as it has already made well over 200 mil in only 2 weeks i think its safe to say there will be a part 2 and probably 3 for them to get right whatever is wrong with the first.

i dunno if you guys stayed for the few scenes during the credits, but the last one was definitely implying a 2nd movie is going to be made.

Can somebody tell me what happened after the credits of Transformers? I left the theatre when they started and I heard there was something after the credits that hinted at a sequel.

Why not? I wanted to see robots kicking ass, and they did. I f I wanted to see good acting then I would watch other movies.

I'll write it in small print since there are some people who are too pussy to handle spoilers.

Their transformation animations are just sick. And the violence seems okay. I haven't seen humans being shot to their deaths (well, just jets and vehicles and buildings being shot down) :|

It's amazing how they did the animations, although sometimes I don't understand what just happened after they transformed. "Oh, the truck became a robot."

I believe Starscream wasn't around when Megatron was being smashed. The last time I saw him (before the credits) is when he destroyed the jets attacking Megatron.

I can't believe they censored themselves. anyone noticed they bleeped "motherfucker" twice? once from Tyrese when in battle and I think the other was Anthony Anderson, but still, it's not like primetime tv or anything. our country is too fucking conservative for our own good.

Sweet. Jet Li is so badass, getting old though. Wonder if he'll be at it until he's like 60 like Jackie Chan :lol:

I had thought however that Starscream was one of the F-22's (or whatever type they were) that bombed Megatron and assisted in killing him. Also that bus that got busted up on the highway had no driver or passengers, just driving by itself...

so much for staying away from martial arts roles. too bad we can't get casted for any other roles, like say the role of a "normal guy" or as the protagonist in a movie :roll:

i believe he said he would not do any more martial arts epics, which is different than your typical americanized version of martial arts.

It's good to see them back together. Looks like Jason is chasing him once again, though. Just like in The One.

that's true, therre is a difference, but still seems like the only thing we're good for is looking cool while beating people up.
