I got to see an early screening as well and I thought this movie looked way too childish. The first trailer killed almost all my hopes, but whoa. It was an absolute blast!
And it’s not just him plenty of big TF fans that got to see early screenings have said how great it is and how it honors the 40 years of this franchise which is great to hear
@@tfuniverse1651 in the first 10 min of the 86 films there were some amazing songs and moments I remember to this day, name one moment in this new film the even compares.
@@MrNaxman I haven’t seen it yet so I can’t but apart from the credits song there are not any non-score music in the movie, it’s all score. As for scenes the Iacon 500 is a stand out due to its cameos in the crowds, Orion becoming Optimus is supposedly a fantastic moment similar to What Up Danger scene in Spiderverse. The fight scenes are apparently fantastic which I can see from the clips we have so far. There’s going to be a lot of great moments in it.
Happy to hear you enjoyed it! Going on opening day with my brother and his son and daughter. Grew up with Transformers and it's pretty cool watching my niece and nephew really get into it too. Nice to know we can all love it!!
Music to my ears. Love me some Transformers from back in the day plus also the netflix animated shows recently. The trailer had me worried also, but now im pumped.
I really loved the movie when I saw it back in July. Big credits to the writers, Andrew Barrer, Gabriel Ferrari and Eric Pearson. Director Josh Cooley deserves big credit too for making another fantastic animated movie based on IP, first Toy Story and now Transformers.
Wow. Kristian you're glowing. I can't believe it was that good lol. That first trailer was terrible, but i recently saw a second trailer in theaters, which definitely piqued my interest. Now I may need to see it.
Glad you enjoyed it as much as you did. The first trailer really makes this film look more goofy than it is. They made a strange decision with it but thankfully the second was better and yeah like you and many fans have said that seen it early, it is made by fans who care.
This is great news Kristian. Im the same vintage as you and had zero hope for this. So glad to hear its great. Gotta take my 3 lil ones to it. Stoked! Roll out!!
I don’t believe you. I will see if for myself in a couple weeks, I very much doubt it can even come close to the 86 film as it still moves me every time I see it, it’s absolutely amazing soundtrack simple cannot be beat.
Watching the whole progression of your reaction to the first trailer to now this review. Love it! Great to see this movie is that surprising good in your eyes. Excited to see it now
0:45 You can't imagine - no, actually, you probably can - how happy you've made me here. I'll never like that they made Bumblebee part of OP's generation, but I'm excited for it now regardless.
Glad you loved it! I’ve seen your hate for the trailers but also seen a bunch of positive buzz around this. So was hoping you’d be pleasantly surprised! I’ll go check it out.
The 3 writers of the movie have separately been credited on writing Ant-Man and the Wasp, Thor: Ragnarok, Godzilla vs. Kong and Black Widow. The director has only previously directed Toy Story 4
When I first saw the Toy Story 4 director attached, I was very turned off on seeing this movie. I hated TS4 and didn’t wasn’t to see him touch transformers. After seeing all of the positive reviews and an awesome second trailer, I quickly realized this wasn’t gonna be like TS4. So excited to see it! Only 8 days till my showing!
@@Aussie27Legendis it though? TS4 still to this day holds critic and audience scores in the 90s on RT. Just the other 3-6% of them have been very vocal about their distaste for it over the years
Ive been thinking this movie is a restart for younger audiences and not so much og fans, but i keep hearing great things and i keep getting more and more excited for it, i definitely wanna watch this on 3d 4dx
@@Blitz4086 if you don’t know by now then your even more clueless then the rest of these “oh this new film I have not seen yet is so much better than the 86 original film” you and the people like you have standards are so low you will like anything. It’s a sad commentary on how dumb this generation is.
I too thought the trailer was very underwhelming. Since it's transformers, I was going to check it out regardless. So good to hear positive buzz on it. Can't wait till the weekend!
So glad to hear this after seeing some reactions of hardcore TF fans on twitter. This gives me even more hope now that this is the format going forward for TF movies.
When the trailer came out i saw everyone dunking on it, i did not get why.. I loved that trailer, That first Trailer was perfect, it was so good, the movie has to be good.
I know that one dude from the chat is excited to see this review and to tell you animation isn’t just for children lol. I’m shocked the movie is so good the trailers were okay at best .
I'm one of the ones who knew this would be a really good movie while many others just automatically shitted on it from the jump 😂 not surprised at all. Y'all gotta get outta this habit lol
I guess I gotta go see this now 👀 I'm soooo like Kristian was at first about this flick re: it's for kids b/c the 1986 Transformers animated movie scarred our psyches as fans of the IP since then 😱😫 So I gotta think my reaction will mirror his! I hope you try to compare & contrast this story w/the '86 one in your review, Kristian, since this new tale has elements that are serious in tone!
I feel like you only hated the first trailer because of them starting our as friends, but that was something that I have seen hinted at or teased in other media. So when the second trailer came out and showed that it was a bit of an origin story or their relationship from friends to enemies, I was completely on board. It reminded me of the cybertron video games from the early 2010s. Now, hearing how you were completely flipped on this movie, I'm definitely looking forward to this movie.
I think when you see it's animation cgi in the trailer it's like ehh... but seeing the movie if you buy into any of it shows more of what it's about and you're into it for what it is.
Giving these thoughts in front of a giant facehugger is next level.
The face hugger is preventing spoilers.
Thank you for watching our film. We really love the franchise and are fans ourselves! Glad you enjoyed it!!
Jason, it was FANTASTIC. I really was blown away. Well done to you and the team!!
It was a great movie!! All of you gave us the movie we needed, everything was amazing. Great work, and all my respects 🎉
Thank you Jason and the team! ❤
Loved the movie
I love all TF content, but this movie was by far the best TF content I have ever seen, loved it!
I’ve heard several reviewers saying they were so surprised by this film, and how deceptive the trailers were!!!
See and I was right!
@@Fan-Nimater101 I’m going to the amc fan event with 5 other friends I convinced to get tickets! Excited to get the lil key chain
@@FilmPepe2024 there also giving out posters too
@@FilmPepe2024 Let us know how it was!
I dare you to name one song from this film that is even close to the 86 film?
Think I'll give this a shot now. Was worried about it being too silly, but if it's balanced i'm all for it
That’s what I was worried about. Definitely not.
I got to see an early screening as well and I thought this movie looked way too childish. The first trailer killed almost all my hopes, but whoa. It was an absolute blast!
I'm a staunch 86 movie fan, and rolled my eyes at the trailer… Hearing your reaction, I’m definitely going to check it out! Thanks.

This is so awesome to hear. Who knew that Transformers is at its best when animated and written by those who love it and actually care...
I can't remember the last time you were this enthusiastic on a first reaction. Already got my tickets 🎟 🙌

It takes a lot for you to use that word “love.” Makes me really excited!! I had a feeling it was gonna surprise
Let’s goo! I’m glad you liked it Kristian! I loved it too! Thanks for all you do man!

@@stevecalderon1985 name one moment in the film that even comes close to prime’s iconic fight with megatron from the 86 film
Glad you loved it! Like you, I hated the trailer so I'll definitely give it a shot.
I’m glad you liked it! I’m gonna see it with my dad
Saw this at Comic Con in tampa a few weeks ago. It was fantastic.
Say that again?

Roll out!!
Thanks Kristian, I was gonna skip this one but I guess now I will go with my kids to see it this weekend
I’ve been telling people! This movie is fantastic! Saw it in Atlanta a few weeks ago. So stoked to see it again and again!
Really name one song that was better than anything from the 86 film ?

Well put
Exciting to hear
Can't wait to see this!
So glad you ended up liking it man!
Man it really seems like the marketing team dropped the ball on this one lol
The second trailer is way better than the first one.
0:12 Steve Buscemi, Laurence Fishburne and Jon Hamm are also in the film.
good to hear Kristian! can always count on your reviews
Went to see it Saturday early screening I was blown away they did a great job
I am so happy to hear this!
Hell Yeah!!! I'm taking my 7 and 5 year olds to see it this Saturday at an early screening and I can't wait!
So exited for this movie i had a feeling it would be awful from the trailers but all these early reactions are giving me hope

I was just looking today at what movies to use my A-list on this month and I guess this will be added!
As an '86 fan i was very put off by the trailers jokey MCU humour - may have to check this out.

Thanks Kristian. Looking forward to it.

That's why a live action Transformers movie should be set on cybertron
Interesting reaction. I was planning on skipping this, but I might give it a shot now.

Alrighty then. Can't wait.
Thank you brother
