The Transformers Fan Guild

Family crisis on Sun, so I never got to go to the theater.
I guess I'll wait until next weekend. I considered going after work this week, but with the movie being so slagging long, I don't feel like getting home at 11pm. Plus, I know I'm gonna lay in bed all night thinking sad things. So, next weekend it is.
Bought all the Dinobot toys, though!

Oh Primus, I'm gonna cry over Ratchet. That sounds so heartbreaking. He's my absolute fav in all the universes. I better bring tissues.
Bad enough they killed Ironhide in the last movie. I'd like to punch Bay in the balls.

Glad to hear the humans are a secondary story line. That is where I think the other movies came up short - too much about squishies, not enough giant fighting robots.

I was hoping for more than Dinobots To The Rescue, but at least they showed up.

Did it give any indication of what happened to Sideswipe and Dino?

Thanks so much Otterwhisker.
Right now, everything's a go for me to see it tom'r morning.

Have you read about Shia's arrest the other day. I think he's gone nuts.

13 more days until I leave for the TFormer convention in Toronto.

I forgot about that! Considering its only 2-3 hour drive, im probably gonna go.

[Piney]

I wish I could go. _(:3_)_ Maybe next year.

Wow.
That was one loooong movie.
3 hours and 10 minutes, which included the previews and end credits.

Very exciting movie. Too long, but exciting. Lots of chases and fights and I was constantly on the edge of my seat. I really wanted to grab someone’s hand during the stressful parts, but my friend probably wouldn’t have been very understanding. In fact, she had to shush me a couple times, when I yelled some choice words at the screen. i.e. “Yes! You bastard! You got what you deserved!” (Surfer guy’s demise.) etc.
I like to interact with the characters.
The CIA %#$*er got what was coming to him, too. I clapped for his death.

Ah, let’s see.
3D was annoying. Too much crap flying up all over the place.
The burnt cinders during OP’s capture scene took away from what was going on. Black confetti everywhere. And the bonfire sparks. There was at least one other use of fly-in-your-face-and-give-you-a-headache-trying-to-focus scene, but I can’t recall what it was now. Things happened so quickly. That was a lot of movie to take in with no clicker to rewind.
I would like to go see the movie again in regular, but three hours is a long time and I don’t know if I can afford that time.

Oh my - poor Ratchet! That was hard to watch. But, it was kind of like a car crash where you can’t help yourself. I watched very carefully because of what someone mentioned.
I think, when Lockdown took his spark, he didn’t crush it. It went by so quickly, but I am pretty sure that it was intact. Hmm. Is it on the ship?
OP was pissed when he heard about Ratch, though. Vengeful Optimus is scary.
I liked the fact that the transformations of Galvatron & the drones were different, with those flying boxes. Pretty cool and it demonstrated the difference between good and bad guys very nicely.
OMG, Stinger. New, improved Bumblebee, my aft.
But, that car! Drool, drool, drool.

Now I feel like I’m cheating on my fav, the lambo.

I did not care for Hound. Bleah.
Drift was alright, I have no real knowledge of him except from fanfiction because I don’t read the comics. I did like the fact he was a triple-changer.
Crosshairs was funny and had a neat [Aussie?] accent. He seemed very young and full of himself.
Lockdown’s face creeped me out. Those lips were just...I don’t know, I couldn’t look away from them. And the whole turn-your-face-into-a-really-big-gun thing was certainly different.
Galvatron was a let-down. He didn’t look half as scary as Megatron, but he did seem just as bat-ass crazy as the cartoon Galvatron we all know and hate. And that thing in his chest – did it eat part of OP’s sword? I missed some of that fight scene because I blinked. That reminded me of the guy from the DJD that has a furnace or something in his chest. I don’t know his name.

DINOBOTS!!
Not enough screen time for Dinobots, IMO.
Grim looked even better on a big screen, all teeth and fire. Swoop, or I guess he’s called Strafe now, was very cool with the 2 heads. Crunch, crunch. Nice fight scene in the air.
Now, where the dinobots came from confused me. At first, I thought that the metal skeletons found in the arctic were supposed to be the Dinobots, and I couldn’t figure out how they got from the arctic to near Hong Kong and how OP even found them. It wasn’t until I got home and thought about the movie that I realized they were on Lockdown’s ship. Right? They were the ones OP released after he grabbed the sword, right?
See, I needed rewind again.
And what is this ‘knight’ stuff?

When did OP get boosters? That was weird.
A seed? WTF. Hey, what happened to the Matrix from the last movie? Don’t make me watch that one again, pleeze....
Creators? Quints, maybe? I’d like to see how they would be done in CGI. Actually, I wouldn’t mind the whole next movie done on another planet in CGI. No squishies, at all. Oh, pardon me – humans.

What to say about them?
I liked Cade better than Sam, both the characters and actors. Lucky Charms annoyed me, probably because he reminded me of a punk, sneaking around behind the father’s back.
CIA guy was easy to hate. Tuccio’s character was very funny, I enjoyed that comic relief. Daughter was stupid and needed to be locked in her room until she turned 21. The Chinese woman who kicked aft outside the elevator was also very likeable.
Eh, the people plot stuff bores me. I go to see giant robots fighting. (And there was a lot of fighting in this movie, so I was happy.)

Hong Kong. Oh, my. Do people really live in apartment buildings all squished together like that? And no railings?! That was scary.

Hmm, I can’t think of anything else that impressed me.
All in all, I’d say it was perfect summer movie fair.

Oh, to top everything off – as I was leaving, I started my truck and heard a clunk.
My belt slipped off the pulleys. My friend had to drive me home and I had to call AAA for a tow.
I had an appointment at the shop for Monday, anyway for a leak and rattle, but that just wasted the whole Saturday.

4 days until TFcon. I can't wait. I need to find my passport and hotel reservations and so much other stuff. Too much to do!

I agree. I think it's a bit busy for seeing in 3d

[Piney]

I still haven't seen it. I'm like the only Transformers fan that hasn't seen the movie yet. I've been too busy...

Whelp
I tend to forget about this forum because I'm not on MagiStream like I am ChickenSmoothie.
ANYWAY
My mom and I are going to see TF4 again in 3D on Tuesday, but everyone seems to be complaining about 3D so I dunno.
On the bright side, though, I found a place to get comics relatively cheap, so I've been buying MTMTE now and I'm only on #8 I think and I'm already addicted.
My problem is I binge-read, so I'm already out of money. ;o;
But, so far it's really good and I can't wait to get more money so I can continue reading. c:

[yummyquik]

Well, my time was too short and I spent lots of money.
Here you can see some pics from TFcon.

Nice! I've seen some of those cosplayers on Tumblr. I want to go to TFcon or another con someday but maybe next year.
