@@Eidlones I call bullshit cause the Cybertronians are LIVING metal. They move they think they.... don't breathe but you get it. They also transform and can't grow as they do so EVERY PIECE of metal needs a home somewhere. That extreme close up of optimus at any point only works because of good lighting, shadow and innovative ways making that light look good. Not only do you have him in natural light but his optics also emit light of their own around his eyes so that's something to remember with any extreme close up. They just nailed it.

I worked on this film , I spent all of 2006 making this film , from Feb till Nov 2006 it was my life morning noon and night.. we shot in LA New Mexico and Detriot it was a lot of hard work.. glad someone is still watching it ..

The first Transformers movie is REALLY solid, especially the effects. ILM and the other studios did a fantastic job with the first one... As the films go on, they still look pretty good, but by the time the fourth one comes around, you can tell Bay was getting REAL lazy with his film making. Don't worry, it goes downhill from here! The hardcore fans I've known all my life like these movies, but boy... If you don't have that tolerance, this is NOT for you, and a super fan who's a fan of the toys, shows, comics and games, you would LOATHE these movies. The Blonde is played by Rachel Taylor, who plays Trish Walker in Jessica Jones.

[@Mitheledh]

The first movie was solid and I really enjoyed it, but it also showed that Bay fundamentally did not understand why people watch the Transformers. It spent WAY too much time focusing on humans and not enough time focusing on the Transformers. And... where were the lasers?

It’s the same thing in Godzilla and King Kong films. They could totally make a movie only about autobots and disepticons and it would be good

[@TheRibottoStudios]

Dude when a movie theater cheers THREE times in a movie (it was rare back in the day) ya know you did something right. The people cheered when Optimus first speaks, when Optimus first transforms, and Optimus vs Megatron. So basically anytime Prime did something BADASS. Which....makes sense.

Megan Fox has more depth in this movie over any of the other characters. She has a past, she is actually smart, she's a grey character and actually 3 dimensional.

[@TheEmery223]

Despite how old this film is, it’s surprising how *mostly* well the CGI holds up. Visually, the film has aged quite well. Random factoid: The screenplay writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman also worked on The Amazing Spider-Man and Amazing Spider-Man 2. Also worth noting: the first film in the Transformers franchise was actually pretty dang good, but Revenge of the Fallen is the entry that is unquestionably the MOST divisive, by far. Also also: I LOVE Jen’s insight into every film she watches. You can tell she isn’t trying to reserve her opinions and is being fully transparent and her commentary is very detailed. She doesn’t just give the bare minimum, she has a lot to say - good or bad - and hence why her reactions are so good! Don’t waste her time with #4 or #5 (I forget the titles, that’s how unmemorable they were 😂😂😂), but Bumblebee is pretty dang good.

When Jen first mentioned that "The Rock" was one of her all-time favorites, I had serious doubts that she and I, were we to meet, would find much common ground. But then she brought "Training Day" to Holden and the channel, and I concluded that she must have a few good qualities after all. (Training Day is one of my favorite films of 2001, while The Rock sits comfortably on my list of "most hated movies of all time".) I wouldn't recommend most of the Transformers movies, but I think you guys should give the third--"Dark Of The Moon"--a shot. The Chicago climax is one of the most gargantuan action sequences I've ever seen, and one of the longest at over 40 minutes.

This movie came out when I was 6. Being sci-fi, aliens, robots, etc. I probably watched it 40 times on DVD. Of course, I never cared about the teenage romance plot and all of that back then. I know that's what dragged many people away from this movie, who just wanted to see giant robots fight. To which, I highly recommend The Transformers Videogame that came out along with the movie. It has the same plot of the movie, but reduces the human participation to a 1%. The cherry on top is that it also lets you play as the Decepticons in an alternative version where they and Megatron win at the end.

One of Bay's greatest sins in how he handled this series, his decision to make the Transformers more alien looking failed to match the fact that all of the Transformers previously were *extremely* distinctive. Even Transformers that had the same basic model had distinct and readily identifiable color schemes to separate them.

[@VanArchon]

Which is funny considering that Travis Knight made their more classic look totally work directing "Bumblebee". I really enjoyed that one and seeing them being a lot closer to toy accurate was thrilling.

[@jonathandelgado3755]

Fair enough. I feel like the Travis Knight aesthetic wouldn’t be as good as it was without the Bay designs as a basic guide for what to do and what not to do. Though I do like the alien designs. I think it’s a totally valid take that is still unique in the franchise, even if they could’ve done more to make them look more distinct. Because they have made some unique looking Transformers in the Bay films.

[@3Rayfire]

@@jonathandelgado3755 I personally think he took the "they're alien they don't have to look rational to us" thing too far.

Going in knowing nothing about the franchise and characters is really the best way to enjoy these movies and not get annoyed at how different the designs and personalities of the characters are. I grew up with these movies so these are what I think of when I think "Transformers". I am a massive fan of these movies bad parts n all, so I'm super excited to see you guys go through them all! Number 3 is my favourite (just a great action movie) so I'll be especially excited for that one. Can't wait to see Jen's reactions to these movies (and see what people think of number 5...), keep up the great videos!

Transformers stay one type of thing it's explained in the comics that explain the lore more (also in every other thing transformers but we sticking with movie here) that Land bots stay land bots and Air bots stay air etc. There are a few that can be both but they have to be born with it.

[@darkangel220a]

The most common theory for why the all spark turns all tech evil, is because all tech in the transformers universe is based off of megatron

[@lchitman7227]

Really great call back to the cartoon in the beginning of the film when we first see Bumblebee. He was originally a yellow Volkswagen Beetle which is the car his door hits when Bernie Mac is trying to sell it

I've been a HUGE Transformers fans since I was a kid(had optimus and unicron toys) and seeing the trailer for this movie BLEW my mind then watching the actual movie just had me fall in love all over again. It's actually a great movie and since then, I've seen it a ton of times because my freshmen autoshop teacher would always play it in class when he wasn't there which was quite often lol. Also I'll never forget seeing the Cloverfield teaser before this movie played!! Changed my life forever and made me fall in love with movies ever since.

I know it's a long shot; but after Clone Wars, there is a tv show called Transformers Prime that is a spinoff of these movies that I think is on Netflix. :) Edit: came out in 2010

[@landonselner4269]

I love it. “Does this one have a name?” “Oh yeah.” 15:25

[@devindubay7911]

WHEN THIS MOVIE CAME OUT I WAS 8 YEARS OLD SO I DONT REMEMBER SEEING IT IN THEATERS BUT NOW IM 23 YEARS OLD AND NOW I CAN SAY I SAW THIS MOVIE IN THEATERS!!!!!!! THAT WAS AWESOME, AND AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!! :)

[@MakingSomeTea]

The fights in Transformers are actually insane. The movies may not be brilliant but they are great just action movies.

[@cl151337]

If you and Jen are at all interested, find the clip where Peter Cullen drew his inspiration for Optimus Prime. It's a nice little heartwarming story imo.

[@chertikinamoto]

I’d love to see her reactions to the rest of the films. I like the unique viewpoint of someone who’s never seen them

[@shadowthief9918]

A fun fact: The original form for bumblebee was Volkswagen Beetle and if you notice when Sam is “picking out” his car a Volkswagen beetle was right beside the car and got hit by the current bumblebee

[@allsparkwarrier]

Fun fact this franchise is the reason why I chose the name I go by online, it's literally one of my favourite franchises out there

[@TheRManProds]

I LOVED THE FIRST TRANSFORMERS! Autobots Transform and Roll Out!

[@jhamer18]

There was a reference to the old Bumblebee vehicle the VW beetle at the car sales garage.

[@trenwilson6613]

I have a feeling that Bumblebee was called that because in the old cartoons he was a yellow Volkswagen bug like the one during the car lot scene.

[@phoenix_2478]

with the linkin park's what i've done song at the end... one of the best movie ever

[@joshuablack1358]

The arrival of the autobots is a cinematic masterpiece that I always return too

[@devindubay7911]

Fun fact that Volkswagen is actually a nod to the original series Bumblebee original form plus as you will see in Bumblebee, he transform into the Volkswagen, and Blackout first transformation scene you can hear the classic transformation sound effect

[@freelancespartan]

Fun fact about this movie, Michael Bay was the guy who gets flicked by Megatron in that final fight sequence

[@stuartthomson1863]

At the more than meets the eye comment, Jen’s internal speech bubble just said “what a geek” 😂

[@MomagicLol]

at 27:23 when megatron flicks that human into a car, fun fact that was Michael Bay lol

[@RoloTomassiVideos]

Adorable at the beginning when Jen was looking to see if Holden is checking out Megan Fox lol … raawr kitty has claws! :P

[@K_K.4302]

Transformers will always be my favorite childhood thing from the toys, movies, and the tv shows. I’m so happy you guys are watching Transformers

[@devindubay7911]

15:54 “MY NAME IS OPTIMUS PRIME” Me: CHILLS!!!!!! Also me: YEAH YOU ARE!!!!!!!!

[@bababboo1]

I was driving through Chicago and made a turn down a street and saw "disaster". Fire everywhere and buildings blown to hell, and I thought "I wonder if this is a transformer movie being filmed?" And then I saw the cars under tarps with decepticon symbols on them. So cool. Turned out to be transformers 3
