Honestly, i really enjoyed this movie. I feel like a lot of the criticisms from Jeff come from so.eone who got stuck with g1 as the only cannon. It is like it comes from someone who refused to transform, which is ironic because transformers is an ever transforming franchise.
Original G1 head here…Most G1 heads like this movie. I think he doesn’t get TFs . I will say that he reminds me of that person that criticizes a show like SpongeBob and asks questions like how does a sponge talk under water, when a better question is why is a sponge talking at all. The transformations were wonderful and logical…. FTR, talking sentient robots would have the technical knowledge to alter matter and mass through alchemical technology…mass shifting would be easy work
It was streaming on Prime, so I threw it on for fun-and it was such a blast! I usually agree with Jeff, but I don’t watch tons of movies or follow reviews, so my expectations were pretty low. As an ’80s kid, I might lose my nostalgia cred for this, for half the movie, I thought Megatron was Jazz-at least until he arm transformed the gun! Crazy, considering I had both of the original toys as a kid 😑
Transformers was my generation The problem is you youngsters have absolutely no taste no imagination and no originality And honestly I'm getting sick and tired of watching you ruin everything I grew up with cause you can't create your own shit
I seriously challenge the assertion that this a Marxist film. The whole reason there are miners and non-miners is by no means about business owners vs workers. To get into that would be spoilers. But it's surprising to me that someone who watched this film missed that. Although, in sone ways its not surprising given that it touches on an issue that, even in our era of focusing on marginalized and oppressed groups, doesn't get nearly the play as ethnicity or income level or sexual proclivities.
My kid logic theory was that they were all energy to matter and when they run out of energon they stay in that static material form…. But really there is. O logic
This movie is absolutey a subtle call to action for the general public. This was marketed for children but the story telling is for adults. It talked about work place violence, abusive, corruption, greed and brutality. Yes the leap from D-16 to Megatron was a bit much. But the cinematography was incredible. And I loved the DEEP lore it dived into. Jeff, I so disagree.
Heh can’t logic out transformers. Else you’ll work yourself in circles. Where does the trailer go? Where do their gun accessories go? Why isn’t Long Haul eight times the size of Optimus Prime?
I just got done watching this movie it sucked It was lazy writing horrible one-liners and rushed If you thought this movie was deep you're a simpleton.
Am I out to lunch, or do you guys really believe that your target audience would be more interested in having the main review be a kids' cartoon as opposed to The Substance? Sincere question.
This almost never happens but i 100% agree woth everything jeff said. This movie is the epitome of fine. Something ill forget about un 3 months. One of my biggest gripes in animated movies is when the action is not coherent. You have complete control and no actors to worry about putting in danger...so why can't i see and understand the choreography?
I genuinely think it's not the movie's fault you can't understand the choreography. I think it was perfectly clear and very well done. It was very fast at points, but not at all incoherent. Did we watch the same film?
I enjoyed it more than Jeff, but actually agree with him quite a bit. I felt it the most in the editing. The never stayed in a scene a second longer than needed. As soon as the final line was delivered, it would almost always cut to the next thing. It was as if they felt they had to ALWAYS have something crazy happening…for the kids. It happens so much it makes the few moments it does linger feel weird. But still, there was a lot to love about the movie. But Mutant Mayhem it was not.

I thought it was well-acted, well written, and looked great. I loved it
Someone was scrolling on his phone while watchimg this movie👀

Sick of boomer opinions on things they don't even like in the first place.
Jeff is Gen X not a boomer, dummy

Please go support this movie, it's struggling at the box office and the planned trilogy is in trouble!

I still like the 1986 movie better, even though it traumatised me as a child
5:59 Jeff quoting Dan Trachtenberg’s classic line from their Lost finale review
Jeff is right

So the title of the video.....transformed? eh? anyone? eh?
Heh can’t logic out transformers. Else you’ll work yourself in circles. Where does the trailer go? Where do their gun accessories go? Why isn’t Long Haul eight times the size of Optimus Prime?
Yeah...Jeff...you're WAY WAY off. This movie is extremely serious.
