Went to watch Transformers last Thursday in Singapore for a special screening for Singapore Transformers fans. I can definitely say with confidence that IT IS the best movie of the YEAR.After this i do not need to watch anymore movies for the rest of the year. Seriously, out of 5 stars i'm willing to give it a 10.
Upon the movie opening with a narrative of Peter Cullen's deep and commanding rumble i could feel my eyes water as his voice brought back so many fond memories of my childhood watching boxy looking Autobots rolling out and saving the day from Decepticons. I had been waiting for this moment for nearly 2 years the minute i heard that they were going to make a live action Transformers movie.
Throughout the movie i was cheering,clapping and hooting like some soccer fan at a game. When Bumblebee appeared to save Sam and Mikaela from Barricade i screamed like the little fangirl i am. Lol.
Kudos to Michael Bay for keeping elements from the original series in the 1980s while integrating elements that made the movie current, entertaining and action-packed that would appeal to people who weren't familiar with the franchise.
Bumblebee was truly adorable(as usual) and i liked how Optimus Prime in the movie was very much like himself from the original cartoon but abit more human-like in the sense that he seemed alittle bit impatient.Seriously. Very amusing to watch.
Ratchet was great as well but there were hardly much scenes of him. Jazz was alittle too ghetto for my liking ("Little bitches?" WTF??) but still enjoyable to watch.
I really liked Ironhide's new update of himself.Although i did miss his original Southern drawl, his new slightly peppered of a British accent voice is very sexy. Prime called him his weapon specialist and it showed throughout the movie as he took whatever opportunity to show off his big cannons.
By the end of the movie i could hear the general clamor of the audience going "WE NEED TO WATCH THIS AGAIN!!"
Overall, the CGI was mind-blowing (the OMG-THAT-WAS-EFFING-AWESOME transformation scenes), the music that accompanied the scenes were great(alot of industrial,nu metal....yum), the jokes were funny and the flow of the movie was alright although they could have drawn out the fight scenes more. I do see some room for improvement but hopefully those issues will be addressed with the rumored sequel.
All i can say is....i want that sequel.......NOW!!
Maybe Michael Bay will bring in the Lambo twins and Dinobots.......i would die a happy fangirl.
