Worth reading just for pointing out what a bunch of whining bitches we are....

... which, looking at a fandom as a whole, is rather spot on, right?

Post by **Best First** » Mon Oct 15, 2007 4:45 pm

yes.

Basically we are ace (not you. or you) and everyone else blows.

Ironside?

Sorry, I'm bitching.

Shame about the extras tho. I was hoping for some kind of comic history, like they do on most comic film DVD releases. The fact that TFs also have cartoons/toys should have given them even more material.

yeah.

For the UK release they should slap I love 1984 on there....

I'm not saying we're not bitchy, but I don't think the movie was a case of the fanboys crying wolf, either. The reviewer basically has the opinion, "Man, those Transformers fans are a bunch of whiners, but this spectacular piece of filmmaking sure shut THEM up, didn't it?"

And crappy extras? Boo.

Update the title thread please, because:

Somewhat importantly, the HD-DVD version of the TF:M is also out on release, it features (obviously) the entire movie in HD, and also has some extras on the disc.
Its worth noting, that due to Paramount owning TF:M, this film will not be on BluRay - sorry PS3 owners...

Feature list:

Commentary with Michael Bay

Heads-Up Display (HD Exclusive)

Paramount HD Connect Web-Interactivity (HD Exclusive)

Tech Inspector (HD Exclusive)

According to TFW2005 there are also some screencaps and interviews with Bay about the early production designs and fan reaction. I bet that won't be in any way smug and self-aggrandising!

Review rings a bit hollow to me- not everyone dislikes the 2007 flick just because it's 'different' and neither have we all now suddenly been converted to loving it by its sheer awesomeness.

Though I must say my main gripe is "The real stars are supporting cast". The supporting cast were at best mostly pointless detours and at worst painful- the film was carried by the lead humans imo.

Yar, that while detour was just weird. At least the government agent chap had something to do with where the story was going. The Ozzy hacker and her chum just seemed there to offer an alternative to Sam for air-time filler between explosions.

On that note, Mojo needs his own spinoff show.
