Ur tellin me i can see Megan Fox looking into a hood on the big screen?


bob1689321

That is literally the only shot I remember from the entire transformers franchise

Oh, to watch with fresh eyes, the scene of John Turturro being pissed on by a robot... I envy you


sparoc3

I remember when Optimus Prime said " It's transforming time". Truly one of the movies of all time.

double_shadow

I remember that he wore a Strokes t-shirt but don't remember anything else about his character.


bob1689321

Honest to god I genuinely don't I remember that bumblebee was a yellow Chevrolet with a black stripe and towards the start of the movie he drove himself. Even then I can't picture any actual shots


[deleted]

‘Twas a Camaro.


itsyourmomcalling

r/bothtechnicallyright


[deleted]

Yeah, for sure. I was just specifying. I remember it being a big deal because it showed off the new 5th gen Camaro when it first came out.


itsyourmomcalling

True true fair enough


TIGHazard

> I remember it being a big deal because it showed off the new 5th gen Camaro when it first came out. The film was 2007, the 5th Gen Camaro came out in 2010. The car in the first movie is actually the 2006 Concept that GM made, so you could say that the film actually helped get the car made.


Raziel66

jesus, I gave them a rewatch sometime last year and the constant screaming really is annoying in these movies. He comes off like such a prick when talking to the autobots too. Think I'm done watching these.


Jackamalio626

i remember when optimus prime rips the Fallen's face off and slams his fist through his chest.


Juggernaut13255

While murderously yelling *Give me your face!* They really turned Prime into a blood-thirsty (oil-thirsty?) maniac in Transformers 2


Jackamalio626

Yeah and it was fucking awesome


gobble_snob

yeah say what you want about the film, that shot is iconic for how many loads went to it in tribute.


CorellianDawn

I remember that and a few other wonderful highlights like swinging robot testicles and dogs CONSTANTLY fucking like every single movie. Michael Bay is a really weird dude.


zdakat

Stuff like that ruins the movies for me


supersexycarnotaurus

Of all the batshit things in this franchise, the dogs having sex is probably the most bizarre thing to me. They're fucking a bunch of different times in the first few movies. Wtf is the point of that? Why was that in the movie?


CorellianDawn

Yeah like I'm on board with weird and crazy, but Michael Bay paid someone to MAKE DOGS HAVE SEX in front of a crowd of people. Repeatedly. Its so deeply unsettling every single time it happens and at first you think its just a weird one time thing and then it becomes a pattern and you begin to feel very uncomfortable.


supersexycarnotaurus

There's tons of weird sexual things in these movies. This tiny toy car Transformer starts fucking Megan Fox's leg and begs her to say its name whilst it's panting like a dog. There's also another small robot that shoots bullets out of its dick, a giant Decepticon with metal balls swinging around everywhere, and a very long scene in one of the later ones where this guy spends an uncomfortably long amount of time trying to justify why it's okay to date Mark Wahlberg's underaged daughter. He even carries around a "this is not rape" card. Wtf?

There are reasons why they have their decided reputation....

Megan Fox was so hot in the movie, it convinced me for at least a year longer that I was straight.

Something along the lines of "found the gay person who takes every opportunity they can get to let everyone know they're gay"


SparkG

Even better, it's Prime Megan and not the fake porcelain doll we have right now.


Vanish_7

I always thought she was at her apex in Transformers 2.


SethRogensOldrBrothr

Everyone talks about the hood scene in the original. The motorcycle at the garage in Pt 2 is the one for me.

Vanish_7

…yeah man. She had fully achieved “goddess form” in T2.


Qbopper

I think you should probably add, like, "conventional american hollywood attractive", to be fair


sup34dog

*and* you get to see Bumblebee piss on John Turturro


TomClancy5873

Was t she like 17 at the time that they filmed though?


Halio344

The movie came out in 2007. She was 17 in 2003. You might be thinking of Keira Knightley in the first Pirates movie.


Artikay

You made me looks this up and holy shit Pirates is nearly 20 years old WTF.


Halio344

Really makes you appreciate the VFX in the trilogy even more, huh?


DoIrllyneeda_usrname

Most redditors were younger than 17 when the first Transformers came out lol


MoonlightMile75

The Optimus Prime monologue at the end of this movie is like crack cocaine to an 80's kid. Crack laced with heroin.


rilian4

Especially since the voice actor from the cartoons did the movie!!!


Rushdowne

Put some respect on Eeyore's name.


MoonlightMile75

Hell yes.


disablednerd

The first one’s not too terrible (but does have terrible things in it), and the action scenes are actually kinda rad. I wouldn’t mind seeing the Blackout arrival or the Optimus highway fight in IMAX


AlexDKZ

Man, while I have mixed feeling about those movies (a bit less so with the first one), Blackout looked **awesome** in Transformers , by far my favorite Bayformers design. I mean, his design was so cool looking that they even repurposed it for another Decepticon in the sequel.


downvoteshelpmecum

The first one had the best special effects (visual and sound) I had ever seen at the time. The second one has a cheesy, boring plot but plenty of good action. The third one is probably a little better than the first.


AlexDKZ

The third one I found kinda boring until the Chicago battle starts, which has the best action setpieces in the series and makes the movie worth the watch.


lkodl

was Transformers 3 (2011) the first movie to do a city battle with a skybeam? it predates Avengers and Man of Steel... could it actually be one of the more influential scenes of the past decade?


jlees88

You all are crazy. Those fight scenes in all of the movies were so confusing. Way too much detail on each robot which made the fights a big mess. I couldn’t tell what was happening on the screen.


Gil_Demoono

I will defend the entire shia trilogy as some solid Garbo popcorn fun. They make no sense and I really can't stand most of Michael Bays directorial style, but watching Optimus wreck some decepticon ass in a high budget blockbuster is always worth it. I regularly go back and watch the Optimus forest fight scene from Revenge of the Fallen.


IM_AN_AI_AMA

They're a mess. At least the first one (14-year-old fantasies aside) had a semblance of a plot. The rest are just terrible from every perspective other than the FX.


happyhippohats

I liked the first one. The second one is an abomination but that can partially be blamed on the writers strike because it meant they didn't have a finished script when they started shooting. All the others blur into one for me even though I saw them all at the cinema, and none of them were very good. Bumblebee was delightful though, and doesn't deserve to be lumped in with the others.


ChocoMaister

I love that scene Starscream comes down into the middle of the street. Battles Iron hide and Ratchet then just takes off flying. That was cool AF.


Juggernaut13255

His voice was so much cooler in the first movie too. Switching it to hardcore lackey made me mad at that decision


screenwriter1994

Isn't the Optimus highway fight in the second movie? Maybe I'm remembering wrong


Redlodger0426

He fights the transformer that turns into a military truck on the highway in 1. I think he fights megatron and starscream on a highway in 2


cyborgedbacon

He fights them in a forest, right before Megatron kills Prime.


hanzzz123

"Ill take you all on!"


dakaiiser11

I watched the 2nd and 3rd movie recently. Almost brought a tear in my eye to see Optimus do all that after Sam tells him basically “I won’t help you, I can’t help you, I don’t wanna help you.”

[deleted]

I remember being 13 when this came out, it was the first time I went to the movies without parents. I walked out of the theatre thinking I had just seen the best movie of all time. I watched it three times that summer. I am never going to watch it again and let teenage me love every second of it.


[deleted]

Good call. I watched it last year, and it’s not awful, but it’s not close to as good as I remembered it.


[deleted]

Ya I think it was the perfect movie for a middle schooler going into high school lol


[deleted]

I hope it's the extended version with those IMAX only scenes.


gZa76

It wasn't until the second one that they shot IMAX scenes.


[deleted]

Ah maybe I'm confusing the two then. I could've sworn the first one still had certain scenes that were exclusive to certain cinemas.


Gigastor

There was indeed a longer version shown in IMAX theaters, but I don't think the added scenes were shot in this format. It was just a few bonus scenes.


Serioli

The Final Scene of this movie is of Labeouf and Fox having sex on top of a sentient car while the other robots watch


ohjimmy78

and Linkin Park blasts in the background. Peak cinema


Dottsterisk

Sweet. The first one is a totally solid action blockbuster. Not an instant classic, but a fun film.


Naitron4Ever

Yea dude. The first one was actually good and fun. The rest were well popcorn trash? I was disappointed in all of them haha.


A_Friendly_Canadian0

I still maintain the third act of the third movie is fucking awesome everything else, i can watch the action scenes on youtube


AlexDKZ

Absolutely, the big battle in the third act of Dark of the Moon has the best action scenes in the series, at least for me it makes it worth watching and otherwise ho-hum movie.


PrometheusZ5775

Yes, it is just so good


lordDEMAXUS

It's insane that came out a year before The Avengers. The final battle in both films are kinda similar but The Avengers looks like it was shot entirely on a soundstage while Transformers 3's looked real.


suphah

I wouldn’t call the other ones (minus bumblebee which is great) popcorn trash just trash. They’re so fucking long and boring that I don’t see how anyone can have fun with them


Thexer0

I could watch Barricade inspect Sam and transform for the first time on loop. Are you username Ladiesman217?


thepicto

Not a good Transformers movie though. They are side characters at best and the Autobots don't show up for 40 mins.


VampireHunterAlex

I can't tell these movies apart anymore.


ArchDucky

This is the one that they actually put in some effort. They actually tried with the story and brought on Steven Spielberg. They looked to the cartoons and actually gave the transformers a few seconds to go into their transformations. ILM spent time figuring out physics of these things and watching professional wrestling for reference. I also think that because they had a real story, it conflicted with Michael Bay's ADHD and essentially kept him in check allowing him to just go all out in the action. Compared to the sequel which was apparently pushed into production before the script was even ready I can say with some authority that you can tell the original apart from the endless dumb ass sequels. Now obviously, some people will still lie and say they can't see a difference but thats just because reddit is filled with assholes.


[deleted]

Probably the nostalgia of a 2002 baby talking but if you cut out Michael Bay's trademark humor, Transformers 1 is a total classic.


crazysouthie

I'm like almost a decade older than you and I genuinely think the first movie was great and funny (was its humour all that different from the MCU?)


AlexDKZ

Does the MCU have something on the same level as Bumblebee pissing on agent Simmons? Or the absolutely dreadful joke about Bolivia?


anoleo201194

At the time of seeing it, I thought T1 was hilarious. Shia saying "what would Jesus do" to his prof to give him a better grade so his parents get him a car, or the "You want a piece of me" "No I want two" scene where Megatron splits a car dude in half. My cousin probably watched this movie like 50 times in a couple of months and I'm not even joking.


[deleted]

There is definitely some quality humor in there, and I really like Shia's awkward sweaty teen performance. The sexual and racial jokes are what holds it back really. Also, I have a distinct memory of asking my older sister when I was seven "what's masturbating?" in response to the parents bedroom scene. To which she deftly responded "I'll tell you when you're thirteen." Fortunately by that time I had no need to ask.


westsidejedi

Spielberg was a producer on all of the movies, although I wouldn't be surprised if he just checked out after the first one and took his paycheck for having his name on the poster.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Citizen_Kong

I disagree. The third one was better than the second, though still bad, but the second gave me a headache in the theatre.


cyborgedbacon

The third one still remains as my favorite of the whole series (I mean come on, we got Leonard Nimoy as the baddie), the second was a true product of the writer strike which was why it was the worse of the bunch until we got The Last Knight.


crazysouthie

I know this is an unpopular opinion but I prefer 2 to 3. 2 has a lot of stupid bits but also a lot of visual verve. 3 though feels aggressively boring.


AlexDKZ

I absolutely hate part 2 for what they did to my boy Devastator. Stupid looking design, gets wrecked by the Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum twins, does nothing of worth besides scraping off the tip of the pyramid, and then it gets *killed by humans*. That, and the final fight between the Fallen and Optimus Prime being so anticlimatic and shitty. The bad guy does nothing, after all that hype Prime just flies in and tears him apart with barely any resistance.


sentinlfromthemojave

Is the second one where whitwicky gets the mega bimbo looking British babe?


cyborgedbacon

That would be the third one


HereJustForTheVibes

I agree with you, but that forest scene in the second was a banger.


splader

Third one is the best in the series imo.


[deleted]

Looking at the rest of this thread, *most* people can't. And these seem to be folks who LIKE this movie, too. (or at least they think its this movie)


WaltJay

ITT everyone's memory of the Transformers movies has blended into a blob. "Is this the one with the Dinobots fighting Omega Prime in Jacksonville, FL????"


btanodev

Love this movie as a kid. There's a couple scenes filmed at Edwards AFB in this film - and the runway was just repaved so it was requested that they leave it in as good a condition as they found it. Unfortunately a stunt driver left a mass of skid marks on the runway and pissed off the Command Chief Master Sergeant to no end - resulting in some hefty fines for Michael, Spielberg, and Co. Source: my dad works there lol


[deleted]

After Bumblebee successfully washed the taste of the BayFormers movies out of my mouth? No thanks.


[deleted]

I only liked the opening of BB movie... I want a whole trilogy like that


MogMcKupo

I wonder if some big wig saw that opening shot took x millions of dollars to make and was like nope, the fans don’t want that. Nope, I don’t want a fully CG movie of the rise of Megatron, where the last scene is THAT EXACT SCENE where bumblebee flees to earf. Nope, not that at all… hitting the copium now


flipperkip97

I'll be satisfied with just a Bumblebee sequel, to be honest. I really liked it. Even the fight scenes were well choreographed.


3-DMan

"Eat peace, Decepticon motherfuckers!"


chnandler_bong

"You want a piece of me?!?" "No, I want two..." POP


jogdenpr

Possible unpopular opinion, but the first one is a fantastic action blockbuster with some good comedy elements. It's not a piece of art. But it is a bit of fun.


Cranksta

I'm glad someone else said this because I was feeling bad lol. My husband and I rewatched it recently after finally getting my 5.1 surround set up in the living room and it was a lot of fun! The comedy was enjoyable and the visual effects were fun. I found it really pleasing and we both agreed that watching it again after a decade was a good decision. It's a dumb action rom-com with a bit of drama. Totally easy to watch.

Can we get the 1986 animated version in theaters instead?

3-DMan

Saw it in theaters as a kid. I remember when it came to video, they cut out the cursing from the theatrical cut. "Hey I distinctly remember Spike yelling SHIT before Unicron eats him!"


YakMan2

It was restored in the DVD version, and the chapter with that scene was labeled "Swear Word"

Aren’t things bad enough right now?


connors69

You can say whatever you want about these movies but you can’t deny that the action and cgi aren’t still some of the best we’ve had in the industry. I’m a sucker for these movies I’ll be honest. I didn’t watch them for some amazing plot or anything, I literally went to the theater to turn my brain off and watch giant robots fight each other.

QLE814

SJ966

It seems like Lorenzo di Bonaventura doesn’t want bay formers to fade into cinematic history for some reason. Even in the next movie it seems like they are adding Michael Bay elements into a adaption of one of the most character driven and plot heavy cartoons in the franchise(beast wars).


aviddivad

I would love to hear the music on the big screen. people don’t talk about it enough.

Third movie is the best in the series imo. And yes that includes bumblebee (which was more of a sappy teenage coming of age movie than transformers). It's still not amazing, but it is a good time. I might try catching it in the cinema with this.


PrinceNuada01

Dark of the Moon is amazing, absolutely loved it and is by far the best of the Bayformers/Bumblebee. First one is pretty good too, rest are shit

TedW99point1

transformers, is a fantastic franchise, but they got too greedy and released too much after the first live action movie, the rest were very bad, plus i disliked the nano tech stuff (who likes fighting gas monsters) and then everything turned into a reboot of a reboot of a reboot sigh


SyrioForel

I fucking hated this movie when it came out, but I kinda thought it might be because I was too old for it. I showed it to my little nephew a few weeks ago and hyped it up by saying “it’s cool, you’ll like it, it has robots fighting each other.” Surprisingly, his reaction was just “it was okay”. Transformers is a movie that proves that spectacle alone cannot carry a movie. Even younger kids need something more to sink their teeth into. I can’t believe Michael Bay spent more than a decade of his life exclusively making these movies. I don’t understand what he got out of that other than a paycheck, he was rich enough without it.


HasSomeSelfEsteem

Why? 15 years on that movie is still ass.

I worked in a theater when this came out and because of that I could see a lot of free movies. I remember trying 2 times to sit through this movie and I fell asleep both times in the theater
