Re: Transformers
Transformers is really a "turn your brain off and just enjoy the giant robots blowing shit up" series of films. When taken that way, and with a good helping of humor and beer, they are fun films.

Re: Transformers
One thing that I noticed about the movie was the continuity error with using the same guy over and over. Long Haul (the dump truck) was part of Devastator but he also popped up fighting the Autobots while Devastator was ripping apart the pyramid. I noticed that sort of thing a couple times.
Ugh... do not thump the Book of G'Quan...

Re: Transformers
Just two different 'Cons sharing the same body-type, probably. Happens all the time. Skywarp, Starscream and Thundercracker in G1. Comes from recoloring the same toy molds for maximizing profits from them.Jim wrote:One thing that I noticed about the movie was the continuity error with using the same guy over and over.

For me it would be that way if the damned humans weren't so annoying. They dont shut up. You just have to keep listening to their annoying voices.
Re: Transformers
They are also idiots too. I also can't stand some of the stuff the humans say, but I can tolerate it unlike those racist twins from the second movie.Nickswitz wrote:Deepcrush wrote:Transformers is really a "turn your brain off and just enjoy the giant robots blowing shit up" series of films.

Re: Transformers
I loved the twins to be honest and I don't recall them being racist... just stupid. The parents were fun for me too, they just really stood out for the "what the fuck is going on, I need a drink" while trying to put up with the end of the world.

Re: Transformers
Yeah, I didn't mind the twins either.
Re: Transformers
I didn't mean the twins themselves being racist just the way they were portrayed. But that is just an opinion.Deepcrush wrote:I loved the twins to be honest and I don't recall them being racist... just stupid.

Re: Transformers
How where they portrayed as racist?

Re: Transformers
Like I said just an opnion. Every time I hear them speak, it makes me cringe. It's the way they speak that makes them sound racist.Deepcrush wrote:How where they portrayed as racist?

Re: Transformers
I understand that for the toys, but not in the movie. Old GIJoe toys did something similar but lest obvious. Many times the upper legs or the orms or some other smaller part was shared by a few figures, but not the entire mold like some transformers.RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote:Just two different 'Cons sharing the same body-type, probably.
