The 'comedy' was one of the worst things about the movies (especially the second) in my opinion, but just leaving it out won't magically turn them into good movies... I don't really believe the third one will be any good if the first two sucked so hard.

Still... Damn, Shockwave. Is it a bad thing if I kinda want to go see TF3 now, just because he's gonna be the main villain?

Looks pretty bad ass there, for an intergalactic doorman.

No Fox and no stupid comedy... this makes me happy, I'm so hopeful!

Maybe this won't be too bad. Right?

He was pretty lame and incompetent in the cartoon, but he was a lot cooler in the comics.

I liked the design they gave him for Energon. Still have the action figure stored away somewhere.

He just needs to learn when to cut out unnecessary scenes. And he is starting to get it.
Yes like this scene;

This is absolutely needed in the film, it tells us that the character is fit and firm therefore will be good at running away from giant robots, what that means is that scene is needed to make us believe her surviving a robot onslaught is plausible.

Michael Bay is clearly a genius.

Wait I'm confused, that is sarcasm right?

So Transformers 3 will be two and half hours of just explosions?
The problem is that I didn't find Transformers(watched it when it came on TV once) to have particularly good effects. The explosions were...meh.
That's... actually kind of sad considering they used real explosions.

Although we mostly saw the guy as Megatron's doorman in the show, that was because all the important stuff took place on Earth (sadly). Shockwave was put in charge of running Cybertron in Megatron's absence... that's a pretty important doorman, I'd say.

It's a good first step that every producer in Hollywood should try, because I'm sick of being expected to laugh at jokes & tired old gimicky gags a 3ed grader should be embarassed to laugh at.

But I also hate robits, so I won't be watching this anyway.

So maybe, just maybe.. It might be.. Enjoyable?

I'm not going to say good, but perhaps I'll be able to sit through it without attacking my eyes with a ballpoint pen within the first twenty minutes.
I might do the same. I hated all the terrible gags in Transformers 2, and what annoyed me more was the children in the audience laughing.

I kinda hope the twins actually are in it, for about ten seconds in the intro in which they get horribly killed before getting to utter a line.
Also I'm pretty excited to see shockwave in the movie even if he won't be as cool as he was in any other media. He is my favorite transformer and so yeah, I'll probably end up seeing it just to see how it gets cocked up.
Agreed on the matter of the Twins. In fact, I'd pay good money just to see that happen.

As for Shockwave... he's just awesome in anything he's in. Even commercials.
Don't believe me?

Thank God no Megan Fox in this one.

Neat that they are trying out storylines that happened in the cartoon of the 1980s.

This is the abusive husband that promises he's going to stop beating you if you give him another chance. The lame ass dialogue, stupid characters, and camera that is uninterested in the action are the problems. The shitty ass robot design doesnt help. This is writing and directing weakness people, and Megan Fox being off the billing fixes none of that. Yes michael bay is the Director not the writer but he has alot of influence over the direction the film takes. This transformers series is garbage, and the third one needs to bomb hard so they can stop making them until another less head-up-ass studio can get the rights. If you want to see justice done to the series you can't go buy that ticket. It doesn't matter how much you ***** and moan about how lame they made Ultra Magnus, or how much they screwed up the canon, if you buy that ticket. Movie success is judged at the box office, no one in the industry cares what you or I thought of the movie if we keep buying the tickets.

This movie will be clown shoes, save your 8 bucks, you'll thank me later when you check that clip on youtube of Blur getting spanked by Arcee... literally.
