Optimus Gets Mad in New Transformers Trailer

[Boris Goodenough]

The only issues I have had with the transformers movies is the MASSIVE amounts of time spent enduring the "romances" in the movies, and too few robot fights.

I want to see robot fights in Transformers, give it to meeeee!

And I am old enough to have seen the original series and the animated movie when first released.

I dont think the internet will allow me to be exited for this, but i am one of the supprisingly large group of people who enjoyed the transformers films, having not grown up with the old transformers i found them very entertaining and personally i cant wait for the new one, Let the quote-flaming begin!

honestly i dont hate/blame you for that never having grown up with it you have nothing to be upset about i how ever do time for my small rant now


oh joy yet anouther movie based around killing my child hood and ugly ass robots thanks hollywood you basterds.

 

[Bobbity]

That looks like, not to be negative or anything, the stupidest crap that I've ever seen.
If it was just stupid crap, then it might actually be enhoyable. As it is, they take themselves far too seriously, and spend too much time with romances and suspense. It'd be much more enjoyable if they spent all their time with unrealistic fights and enjoyable stupidity.

Really enjoyed the first film, but after several viewings it bored me.

Second film...enjoyed it when I saw it, but agree it was WAY WAY WAY too long, but thinking back on it, the film wasn't great.

Third film had better be better than the second one. If it is, then I will be happy.

All I know is that it would be nice if the Transformers weren't secondary players in their own movie.

IPeople want an actual TRANSFORMERS movie, meaning, that the transformers are the stars of their own movie.

Track how many lines they have from the first movie till this one, bet you Sam's comic relief mom has more.

It's called Money. Bot time costs far more than showing a car or person. While i'd like see more interaction between them, I get why films are way they are. If you only get X amount of Bot screen time, then id rather majority of it be spent on them fighting it out than trying make the robot citizen cane. Plus it grounds the story to knock off some of the hard nerdy edges to make it collectively more relateable to most people before going full blast with the fantastic elements.

Also having an intergalactic robot war on our front lawns humans would just sit back and watch? Really? I highly doubt that much as I like this reimagining of If transformers appeared in the real world rather than a straight clone of G1 where humans reaction to cybertron's battle on earth for most part goes unnoticed and they rarely fight back.

Expecting no humans is highly unrealistic and pointless. I mean what's the point of a live action film if there's no humans ever in the shot. If there was going be an all robot story it would likely be better being animated or a CGI flick like the TMNT movie that came out a few years back.

On top of that there's always been tons of humans in transformers. Even G1 as their a major part of why the autobots win the great war since they weren't war machines like the decepticons. They were such a factor Megatron went back in time to prevent them from ever existing in beast wars. The only series without humans is beast machines. Every other series Humans were always present.

As for Prime being annoyed in the trailer, I think some of the quotes are intentionally ripped out of context to make the Trailer seem bleaker for the heroes. Prime likely was telling the lady she madea grave mistake because it was too late to stop whatever threat had begun before it happened. Not just because he was being bitter. His other quotes about the fight being humanity's is probably what he says before he and the autobots leave earth at the end of the film when Simmons is in the wheel chair from whatever battle damage he took over the course of the film. Prime wouldn't leave the earth high and dry in middle of a crap storm like this(even if we deserved it.), and given how much butt he's kicking in the trailer, you know he won't be sitting this fight out in the end. The autobots will be fighting off the decepticons forces with alittle help from a couple humans as they always do.

Hang on hang on hang on,
-So the Transformers are from the moon?
-The Washington memorial is a death robot beacon?
-The space race was in oder to find the transformers?
-If earth already knew about the TF's, why are they so surprised they show up in the first 2 movies?
-They let Bay near a film set again?

too many questions, too many holes, too many explosions. In the words of one of my favourite weird haired protagonists, "Not Interested".

 

[Asuka Soryu]

This actually looks appealing. I mean, if they could just cut out the poor humour, get rid of Shia Lebouf and any romance and make this what it needs to be, Autobots and Decepticons smashing eachother with huge explosions, then I think it'd be a great popcorn flic.

Saddly, I worry they're gone to add some poor jokes and try to make the story revolve around Shia, once again. I don't care about the humans in a Transformer's movie. I care about the giant robots, I don't care about some kid going to college or his girlfriend problems.

Geez.

 

[Asuka Soryu]

I'm sorry but that Blonde haired model has absolutely no place in this movie. This girl just can't compare to Megan Fox... Stupid Bay when will you learn your magnificent ego just makes you a Bag of douche.

Looks cool otherwise.

Megan Fox had no place in these movies. She was a waste of space character tossed in so they could have some crappy romance to draw more women into watching this.

 

[trophykiller]

I thought it was just going to be transformers randomly blowing up Califonia. I'm very disapointed.

In all seriousness though, I have to say I liked the other 2. Yes, I liked them, sue me.

 

[Cavouku]

I'll also be on the waiting list, until I find out what the Human:Giant Robot ratio is. I'll accept nothing less than 1:2, but 1:8 would be ideal.

The other two, I watched. I wouldn't call them horrible, and I even had a case of post-explosion anxiety afterwards, made for good popcorn flick. But... I also have to agree that Sam's character is highly unlikeable, and this is just a personal thing for me, but unrelatable. I can't care about him.

Optimus, on the other hand, I like him, he's an awesome guy. Bumblebee too, though we don't get to know enough about him. The Transformers are so much more likable, but they don't get the screen time they deserve (as someone brought up, for understandable monetary reasons).

Maybe if, like others said, the movies didn't take themselves so damn seriously.

 

[ZippyDSMlee]

Wake me up when the film is about the Transformers and not the stupid bad acting flesh bots.....

 

[moviedork]

Maybe if, like others said, the movies didn't take themselves so damn seriously.

The movies never took themselves seriously. If anything, the reason people didn't like the second movie compared to the first (if you were a fan of the first like myself) is because the second was way too goofy.

To say that the movies take themselves too seriously is ludicrous. You want to see a movie that takes itself way to seriously, watch G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra and then rethink what you just said.

 

[Echo136]

Its going to be another stupid military recruiting movie. I really have no interest.

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. You may be in the wrong thread, bud.

As for the thread: I'm not really sure what I feel. Maybe the following expression best captures what I'm feeling about Transformers 3:

"Not sure if want..."

I assure you no mistake was made.

Mm... no, watching G.I. Joe, I feel like they never tried to be anything more than a fun action flick, with a slight dash of finger-biting "what's gonna happen?" thrown in. Not enough to actually bite your nails, but a bit of anxiety, not seriousness.

Transformers seemed to want to be some sort of government conspiracy thing, and the only thing that came off as being an obvious joke was the two little gangster robots. Then there were the jokes like the pot brownies, and the dog, but that was more like a shift in tone, and it didn't hit the whole movie. No, the whole movie felt like it thought it was the big shit on campus.

 

[De Ronneman]

Call me "slightly hoping". RotF was a horible piece of poo with a bad testicle-joke to boot. This seems like a slightly entertaining story: government lies to giant robot. Giant robot takes sh*t from noone. Giant robot leaves, now the American marines have to clean up the mess...

Sh*t. We're screwed over again!

Dear Michael Bay,

Contrary to popular (read "your") belief, explosions and Shia LeBoeuf (which actually means "cow", just like he acts) are not more interesting that giant robots shooting eachother.

Do not make any wreckingball jokes (you know the one), use your explosions carefully (too much is what it is: TOO much) and I'm willing to not hate on the robotdesigns if you ditch Megan Fox.

Sincere love,

Me.

Now hope he reads this and takes some hints from it.

[Devil's Due]

I assure you no mistake was made.

Yeah, Transformers is totally an Air Force recruitment video since it shows how easily it is to be slaughtered by a single robot and how faceless soldiers get killed in the dozens really makes everyone want to sign up at their nearest recruiter to fight "that evil Megatron!"

Amusing conspiracy theory though, I have to admit. I never thought of it that way, but that's probably because I wasn't wearing my tin foil hat this time. I'm always being brainwashed, man.

(To be fairly honest, making tin foil hats is actually a fun hobby, especially for webcam chats with friends!)

 

[Plurralbles]

shia screaming, "Where is she" cements the idea that nothing has changed at all.

Fuck 'em.

 

[samsonguy920]

Frankly if there is one person that needs even less screen time than Shia, it is John Turturro. I like the guy in other movies but his character in this is too much a detraction from the story.
This trailer is a promise that shit is going to get real, finally. That promise better be kept.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

They aren't even trying to make the Decepticons look like transforming robots anymore. What Car or truck turns into a walking scrap pile?

 

[aarontg]

Looks like mr.Bay is taking some cues from inception DUUUUUUUUUU!
