Swinging 60's...


YEAAAAH BABY YEAAAAH!!!!!

Let me know what you think. I used to like 2 the best but upon rewatching I think 1 is my favourite =3

Will do, I always enjoy revisiting old films and getting all nostalgic over them, try not to glorify them too much until i've re watched them, but from what i remember all the film where well worth my money at the cinema.

Agreed. It's fun revisiting oldies because you often rediscover why you fell in love in the first place. Like Men in Black. Hadn't seen the film in years then caught it on tv and was like "This actually still holdsup really well." I'd remembered it as being more a kids movie but it's just so well put together. THough the second... not so much.

Yeah the first one i'll agree it holds itself up well, the second one was.... not so great to revisit.

Transformers is one of the few that i liked watching over and over again, the second ones alright but i've seen the same clip on tv either round my house or round the gf's house over and over again for the past few months, sorta turned me off the thought of revisiting it. the 3rd installments out on the 29th btw.

I think the second is perhaps too much maligned tbh. It's certainly far from perfect, but I think had certain elements been excised or edited it would've been a really good film. Specifically the Twins (don't think they're racist but they are not funny and annoying), Leo, humping dogs, John Turturro's undies (again...) and trimming down the second half in egypt.

I still like it for all the robot punching anyway =P

Yeah the first one to me was a serious story, the second one they tried to add in comedy where it wasn't needed, and for the the guy to go to college? there's no real point in it, it doesn't do much past reignite a love between him and megan fox at the end.... well at the end of the first one they where in love, yeah they've done it to be abit more interesting, a love interest, a war from the past, a sacred object (again) and the fighting....but to me the comedy doesn't need to be there, i'm hoping the 3rd is more "action packed movie" like the first one.

They are 13 year old films. It's Bay's style. Over-sexualised and jokes about masturbation (which the first film totally had in an incredibly awkward comedy scene). I kind of like the first film but loathe the second. It's worse than Green Lantern. I'm hesitant about the third. I hate the new girl already, so we'll see...

Agreed the masturbation comedy scene (this the one with the glasses in the bedroom and they're looking everywhere ina powercut?) wasn't needed but even as an older viewer i can think back and go "yeah, that would be funny if it was mistaken for something it isn't" but overall the storyline works better in the first one.

Ah, that's because it had a storyline.

It's funny hearing Men In Black and X-Men being refered to as "oldies", even thought they're over a decade old I still don't see them as being old films for some reason.

As for Transformers, Bay's films are a travesty, the original Transformers movie from the Eighties is where its at, 90% cheesey camp toy advert, 10% Awesome, plus its got Leonard Nemoy, Orson Welles and Eric Idle providing voice over work!

Also, need I mention the soundtrack!?

You mentioned a treky.... thats not cool man

the films turned up lastnight, was very pleased to see it there waiting for me, so after going tot he gym and pizza hut, i finally got home and watched the first one.... after rewatching it i realised a couple of things.... Rogue is suki from true blood and also, i think she's more attractive with brown hair than blonde. Also.... in the statue of liberty bit at the end... when wolverine is about to stab himself... the "metal" locking him into place, moves haha Shall rewatch the second one tonight enjoyed it.

Ha! Honestly, I'm not a Trekky, but having someone with the status of Leonard Nemoy in Transformers The Movie is absolutely huge!

Nimoy's also in Bay's third movie... so...whatcha gonna do now =P

Not having grown up with the G1 cartoon I can't really appreciate the level of nostalgia it receives. It's a decent enough show, but I would say that it doesn't hold up as well as more recent efforts like Beast Wars that try and deal with some more weighty issues (it had an episode that was basically about euthanasia for cripes' sakes).

Plus for all the good in Transformers: The Movie (the Op v Megs fight is pretty epic) there's plenty of silliness too. I mean Junkions, Wheelie and his rhymy speak. I'm not saying Bay's movies are better, I just find it irksome the way some TF fans (not saying you are one of these Riva) hold up G1 as Jesus in cartoon form.
