The optics line is great and what about Primes "One shall stand, one shall fall" Great freaking line that held weight in the cartoon despite what some may think, but nothing like that from Prime in the movies because there's no real weight to the rivalry.

Totally. I was actually gonna say before how telling it is that the only line of note like that in the entire trilogy - the one you very rightly mentioned - was the one they referenced from the '86 movie in Bay's first outing.Originally posted by B_Metal View Post

I just loved that last bit at the end of Optimus' and Megatron's fight, where a wounded Optimus is about to get his head blown off by Megatron:
Megatron: I would've wiated an eternity for this! It's over, Prime.
Optimus: NEVER! (Prime coldcocks Megatron, sending him over the edge of the battlement)
Yeah, cheesy animation, but, damn if it send a charge through me when I first saw it.Comment

I felt more of those bumps in Megatron's fall to animated death than I did in the entire final battle in Dark of the Moon. Or the entire film, for that matter. Not even kidding.
And the way Hot Rod runs over to the grounded Prime after he's smoked his arch-rival? "Optimus?" Nelson Shin knew what was up."The bear is a solitary animal. They like their space.

Honest question: When was the last time any of you watched the TF cartoon all the way through?"Looking like Nic Cage dressed in Kurt Cobain's closet. I mean that as a compliment" - BillyG

Back in November or so, over on DERP. We had a watchalong.
Also, we've spent 2 fucking pages talking about nothing but Transformers in a thread about Renny Harlin. Let's get this train back on track, people.Last edited by Matt; 07-08-2011, 11:33 AM.Originally posted by MartinOriginally posted by gravediggerOriginally posted by MartinComment

A few months ago? Maybe turn of the year. I think I remember because it was pretty hot on the heels of the watch-along we did over at CHUD just before Christmas.Originally posted by Rherb View Post
I actually nearly watched it again this morning."The bear is a solitary animal. They like their space. They live in a magic circle. They don't mind if you're, like, a mile away. But if you get inside their circle, they will maul you." - AnonymousComment

So yeah...how about that opening sequence from 'Cliffhanger'. There's zero question that it's one of the best parts of the movie (if not THE best). Is there honestly any way in which it could have been improved?Originally posted by MartinOriginally posted by gravediggerOriginally posted by MartinComment

Also, your lists now are even better due to the fact that Transformers: The Movie gets a pass."Looking like Nic Cage dressed in Kurt Cobain's closet. I mean that as a compliment" - BillyG

Bro, it's not a GREAT movie by any stretch. I'd give it 2 out of 4 stars (maybe 2.5), that's it. It at least has characterization, motivation, and a coherent throughline to propel the plot and action forward.Originally posted by Rherb View PostOriginally posted by MartinOriginally posted by gravediggerOriginally posted by MartinComment
