Transformers 2 - Page 8

I saw the movie on Saturday and I loved it, Its better then the 1st one.

Question: What does Spielberg see in Shia LaBeouf that no one else does?

Hear me out:
Transformers 1 and 2 produced by Spielberg.
Indy 4 directed by Spielberg.
Eagle Eye produced by Stevie
Disturbia (and this is the stretch) was a Dreamworks film, which was co-founded by Steven Spielberg.

Discuss...

I don't know what Steven sees in him, but the girl next to me in the theater was on the brink of an orgasm every time he appeared on the screen.

She would get all giggly and be like "Wow, he is sooooooooo hott...Oh my God". Her friend was trying to make her be quiet.

Me and my sister/her roommate all went to see it tonight and I, also, found it to be better than the first one. I think the fights were slightly less chaotic at least to where I could tell who was the good guys and who was the bad ones. My only complaints were the forced humor (mainly courtesy of his parents or the little Decepticon that became good). Oh, and the "twins" were ridiculous as well. Transformers, a primitive, highly advanced race of alien robots, has evolved so far along as to copy our world's own braindead hoodrat mannerism and ebonics.

But yea, overall I enjoyed the movie.

Anyone see that there are 2 sets of Constructicons? The Devastator group, and the group fighting the Autobots.

I saw this piece of trash at the Australian IMAX premiere. I was extremely disappointed, as I actually really enjoyed the first one. The review Zarius put up from youtube is EXACTLY right. Everything I could say about it is summed up perfectly in this movie. I actually enjoyed Wolverine a hell of a lot more than this because after X3, I had my expectations of the film down low. The best part of this movie? The GI JOE trailer, and getting up at the end. I felt like walking out after 15 minutes, and regret not doing so.

LaBeouf is charismatic in a weird way and is a draw to quite a few people.

I like him, personally.

I don't understand the Shia hate. I think he's alright, nothing spectacular. To be fair all those movies pretty much suck and I don't see how that's his fault.

Neither do I. He's not the best actor, but he's okay.

*Brodie* · 07-01-2009, 02:07 PM

I agree with the general consensus about Shia, the kid is fine by me. I've liked him since he was on Even Stevens, which I'm not ashamed to admit, but I think he does fine.

*ToTheNines* · 07-01-2009, 03:02 PM

I'm not seeing this, but I'd like to point out that IGN pretty much trashed this in a review but still gave it a 6 outta 10

I don't have anything against Shia, I think he's a very decent actor. I do not, however, understand the whole "Shia is the next Tom Hanks" talk that was going around a few years ago.

Oh, and looks like Transformers 2 broke another record. The worst reviewed film to break 200 million domestically. lol.

*Brodie* · 07-01-2009, 04:04 PM

The Tom Hanks thing is reeeeealllly jumping the gun. But hey, its possible. He hasn't shown the type of depth Hanks has, but its still relatively early in his career. I think he's got the chance to be a long lasting actor of this generation, if he plays his cards right.

*Candy Kappa* · 07-01-2009, 04:13 PM

so is the movie worth watching just for the robots?

*Brodie* · 07-01-2009, 04:18 PM

If you're interested in robots, its got them. The movie isn't god awful, or anything. Its just not very good.

Its a prime example of a casualty of the writer's strike. Its almost worth betting on that the script didn't exist when they were doing the CGI for most of the fights, then they made a script around those fights.

Worth a movie ticket, sure.

*Candy Kappa* · 07-01-2009, 04:26 PM

hmm... then I might see it
i wish it came out sooner so I could see it for free

*Cure* · 07-01-2009, 11:25 PM

Shia's cool with me.

Unless you want to see a lot of unfunny racial stereotypes, Mudflap and Skids, then no.
