Agreed x10 And transformers the 1986 movie sucked, they killed prime and tried to replace him with someone younger and cooler. They seriously missed the mark with design of both forms and the characters personality. And yea that stuff with megatron, was super lame.
Oh come on? Seriously? You guys really think this is bad? It's a movie about giant robots that transform into other things and fight. It has eye candy, hot chick and is entertaining. Damn some people are just way to bitchy...
Justin nailed it on the head. I love action movies; cant wait for Terminator; but Transformers is so stupid (because of the Michael Bay influence). I see many 'popcorn' films in the year, they are fine, as long as they are somewhat intellegently written.
I think it's more of a Oh it's so cool to hate Michael Bay and every thing he does then it is that Transformers wasn't entertaining. and calling Meghan Fox an oompa loompa? Did I read that right? Seriously? What planet are you from?
I was gonna say that! He is so grunged up in robot form, and then product placement happens and all of a sudden he's been through a car-wash and wax. I wonder about the technical side of that; when he transforms, do the materials literally change on the fly? lol.
QFT. Taking the stuff I loved as a kid and adapting it into something more that I will appreciate as an adult is what gets me excited. Taking the stuff I loved as a kid and repackaging it as nothing but 'eye candy' and base silliness... well, I'm not 13 any longer and I want more than that. The options are not just Bay's…
+2 Just because its a movie about robots, does not mean you leave your mind at the door. Thats an excuse allowing for bad directors and producers to keep giving us crap. Soo anyhow.. "Those aren't ideas. They're special effects" Keep Michael at Bay! Just say NO! To Transformers 2!
Marginally more realistic. Compared to Batman Begins, Dark Knight was a pretty dumb summer blockbuster with more of a 'comic movie' treatment, rather than the original idea of 'how would someone actually become this figure'. It lacked any sort of depth that the first Nolan film had. Miles better than Transformers though…
his name will be Devastator. It's a well known fact among the community that the tank in part 1 is named Brawl and the name was a typo. And if that's the Devastator render I'm thinking about, his transformation wouldn't work in real life. Different sized construction vehicles and the fact that his forearms come from...…
And Terminator 2 was about two robots -one that transforms- going back in time and fighting each other in the immutable past. I think it was handled better than this IP. Our industry revolves around stupid ideas being treated seriously - or at least passionately - by those working on them. Simply abstracting the premise…
