Transformers is a 2007 American science fiction action film based on the toy line of the same name. The film, which combines computer animation with live-action filming, was directed by Michael Bay, with Steven Spielberg serving as executive producer. It was produced by Don Murphy and Tom DeSanto, and is the first instalment in the live-action Transformers film series.
The film stars Shia LaBeouf as Sam Witwicky, a teenager who gets caught up in a war between the heroic Autobots and the villainous Decepticons, two factions of alien robots who can disguise themselves by transforming into everyday machinery, primarily vehicles. The Autobots intend to retrieve and use the AllSpark, the powerful artifact that created their robotic race that is on Earth, to rebuild their home planet Cybertron and end the war, while the Decepticons have the intention of using it to build an army by giving life to the machines of Earth. Tyrese Gibson, Josh Duhamel, Anthony Anderson, Megan Fox, Rachael Taylor, John Turturro, and Jon Voight also star, while voice actors Peter Cullen and Hugo Weaving voice Optimus Prime and Megatron respectively.

@scottkelly1685 2 жыл бұрын

As one of the "75% of adult men" who grew up with the original Transformers (and GI Joe, He-Man and other half-hour toy commercials) I did enjoy the movie. The sequels, not so much. What struck me about Bay's series is that, unlike the cartoon (except the theatrical movie) characters died. In Bay's first movie, Jazz is ripped in two and killed - permanently. Jazz was my favorite character in the 80s show, in no small part due to the voice work of the legendary Scatman Crothers. That, more than the design changes and adult situations, truly singnaled that this was not a retread of the cartoon. Granted, in a sanitized 80s kids show there were no deaths despite both sides being armed with heavy weaponry that should rightfully annihilate each other (anyone recall how Cobra soldiers could always bail safely from jets and tanks before the missiles hit?). Hence the cartoons had no real tension because everything had a happy ending. But Jazz getting killed? Game changer. Bay's series went downhill after the first due to more explosions, illogic, incomprehensible action scenes, stupid plots and etc. But the first film was definitely worthwhile.

@alexandradaniels6048 2 жыл бұрын

I mean: Optimus did return from death as a Zombie in the animated show Lmao. I liked the first movie and I liked the third act of the third film. Everything other than that is pretty awful IMHO. It doesn’t help that Bay become more and more partisan as the films went on. Like Snyder, he likes to slide in his politics into film (he admits this totally and this isn’t a negative thing in a lot of movies) but, he isn’t an amazing storyteller so he ends up telling the opposite message than he wanted to. For example: the fourth film is pretty heavily a “anti-Immigration” POV. The Autobots are the “good, legal immigrants” and the decepticons are the “Bad, illegal” ones. The problem became when Kelsey Grammar’s character accidentally proved the point they were trying to avoid: “There’s no good Aliens, there’s only them and Us.” I think Bumblebee proved that you can make a great transformers movie, that makes thematic sense and is still fun. I hope they keep going that way!

They give me some unique and thrilling feeling watching them and in 12 years since being introduced to this franchise and Transformers in general (with ROTF release), my enjoyment still persists and I'm certain it won't go away. Thanks to movie franchise introducing me to Transformers, I also found a lot of fun in watching Transformers Prime (the only animated TF show that really grasped me, mainly thanks to its darker tone) and playing War for Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron games. Looking forward to more live action movies.

A film with no action, with worse CG than this film which is 10 years older, only three actual transformers other than the opening 5 minutes of fan service, and manages t make human characters even more irritating than bay verse ones.

And also the male, ive forgotten his name is literally just sam with an afro. The first 3 transformers films were brilliant all things considered.

It's sad to me, and many (often, now, estranged) fans of Transformers, that, even after all these years, our fears and criticisms for the direction that these movies have given the franchise, are being misrepresented as bitching about superficial aspects like just the design aesthetics. What the old Marvel cartoons and comics, managed, seems to be still elusive for people, who weren't there, to understand. All they had to do, was, sell the toys. That's it. And yet they rose so far above that requirement, that they created a living breathing fictional world, populated by countless defined characters and a deep and unique mythology. Not at all unlike any of the best pieces of Marvel source material, that is now being turnt into genuinely well-received blockbuster cinema. Bay's Transformers movies, while technically impressive, essentially, un-did, the old cartoon's triumph of elevating a toy commercial into a proper and engaging mythology, by turning the franchise back into nothing more than a toy commercial, with soulless CGI non-character toys that just blow things up.

I enjoy every bit of Bayverse. I watch it for the Transformers, and just ignore the writing after the 3rd one. No matter how many times I catch any part of Transformers on t.v, I watch it as well. Never get tired of them. Hope Michael Bay would come back and finish it off with Unicron, I don't care what anyone say or think, I'd still support him and his film. With that being said, I'm so hyped for the ,"Transformers, Rise of the Beast!" Can't wait to see it's 1st trailer as well

I grew up with the Transformers cartoon and comics since the 80s. I do love the live action movies even with all the faults. Bumblebee was amazing. I liked how they made it so it could have been either a reboot or a prequel, with Bumblebee turning into the Camaro at the end plus a few scenes with a young Agent Simmons.

I forgot where I heard this but someone accused Bay of making movies just for teenage boys and he replied "Whats wrong with that?".

Hey man, your video is amazing!!! This shows the size of the challenge the team behind those scenes faced while making the movies. Is easy for audiences and critics to say harsh things about the movie, but no one can understand what those guys had to deal with. For me, I had a blast watching them, they are not perfect or even close to that, but I knew there was something special about this, it looks like something made with passion, Michael Bay knows how to put a bombastic show in front of the audiences, idc about his recycled shots and other cliches, his vision is clear and unique on its own way. Thanks for this video man, stay safe.

The opening 15 minutes was some of the greatest Sci fi/military action I've ever seen.

Michael Bay is a man after my own heart. The gleeful way he orchestrates all that vehicle destruction is something else.

the first 3 were excellent, really fun movies, I love them, 4 an 5 really lost some thing's, bumblebee was also great, especially those cybertron part's, watching that got me back into collecting after like 20 some year's lol, it is truly amazing how they put these movies together, hopefully you cover the other movies, an maybe the wfc foc games, we really need a new game just like those 2, but yeah, this was an awesome video, keep up the good work
