Optimus Gets Mad in New Transformers Trailer

On the one hand, I can never be entirely optimistic about anything involving Micheal Bay...
On the other hand, Stephen Spielberg also has a hand in this. Maybe, just maybe...

What was wrong with Holes? It's probably the only movie that I thought he was actually good in.Prismatic Baron said:
...I'm sorry, did you hire Liam Neeson to voice your villain then NOT give him any lines? Once again Michael Bay, you add nothing to society...
You folks that breathe the sigh of relief for Fox's exit must really be masochist. The movies are terrible because of shitty writing and cinematography. I barely have time to ***** about the bad acting and lack of faith to the source material. But I will take a side trip to the absolutely awful art direction on the robots, those flying suites... sigh. But hey if yanking fox is enough to get you to drop 10 bucks to watch shakeycam footage of shitty acting, shitty writing, and giant shambling piles of amorphous metal shards, uh... enjoy the show.figday said:
No, no. AFTER Holes. I also rather liked that. Everything since is just sad.NinjaDeathSlap said:
my thoughts about the trailer "meh"
i may be biased about the movies too. cause a friend of mine and myself made it sort of our thing to go on release night. well we had a falling out. so i guess the will to see it is less because of that.
or the fact that Revenge of the Fallen was such a smoldering pile of sh*t. (and no i will not buy the "writers strike" excuse. see Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog for a perfect example of why that excuse is lame).

This trailer looks awesome. Absolutely no shaky-cam, and no craptastic dialogue has been spotted in any of the trailers. Unlike a lot of you people I can actually enjoy a Bay-flick (first Transformers is the definition of a summer blockbuster), so I look forward to this simply because the man knows action and destruction. Sure the second movie kind of sucked, and this is from a Bay supporter, but I'm still loving what I've seen from this flick.
Oh my (insert deity of choice)!!
This movie suxorz just like the other 2 movies. Micheal Bay is a douchebag.. rant rant, ***** *****.
Sorry, I don't understand how people complain how these movies are bad. "But its nothing like the tv show! nyeeeeh..."
SO?? Neither was GI Joe, or the A-TEAM. See it as a tribute damn it! Not a modern version of the old show! That way you can enjoy all the fancy action and not let your inner bitter, hypocritical, nostalgia hipster come and piss all over it!!
I want to bet and say that over 10-15 years the same people will praise this movie as a cult phenomenon!
Enjoy the simple things in life (explosions and big robots). Because what if that movie didn't come out on that date? Rather have a Kings Speech movie set in Colonial America? Boring.
Its summer! I want action!

See, I'm a huge Transformers fan. I've been collecting them from 1984 when I first saw Optimus Prime and Megatron at Wal-Mart (Conned my mom into buying them both lol) up until today when I bought the last of the powercore Combiners sets I needed (Dinobots) to have them all up until now.Captain Placeholder said:It is good, you should watch itPurpleLeafRave said:
THANK YOU! God I am so sick and tired of the naysayers with their rose-tinted glasses thinking that Micheal Ruined Transformers. Personally I think the movies are a shit ton better than the crappy cartoon. (Yes it was crap, but a good kind of crap - Like all the old 80's horror films were crap, but good kind.)Straying Bullet said:
Even as a kid I knew that the cartoon wasn't great, it's fun, but not great. The comics were where it was at (save for a few goofy issue like Bumblebee going to a rock concert). My favorite thing about Transformers is the engineering that goes into making them. Taking a car and making it so that with some twists, snaps and folds and making it into a robot with it's own personality takes a lot of work. Sadly, Bay wanted realism (in a movie about shapeshifting alien robots no less) and make the transformations work the way they would i n the real world.
That took away all the personality from the robots and made them interchangeable. You can't tell Decepticons apart and the only reason Autobots look different is because they aren't all gun metal grey. Seriously, if you don't understand what I mean, spend $10 on Sgt. Kup or Perceptor at TRU and look at the story the robot mode tells. That's what is missing from these movies.
Well that and writers who understand the source material (the writers of the first movie went to us fans at a Transformers site and was asking things like "So are Optimus and Megatron brothers? Why don't they like each other? Who is the yellow good guy?")
I'm with you on this one. Despite the hate for Transformers 2, I still enjoyed it a good amount and I'm always willing to give this one a chance. It has a good premise and a reason for me to watch it.DEATHROAD said:
Secondly I better see Starscream kick some ass this time around.
Finally, as much as I can't stand Megan Fox, they really really didn't do a good job replacing her. Whoever this new actress is, looks like her lips are inflated worse than Angelina Jolies'
And yes I said it!!
Why can't they get any likable female actresses? I'm sorry if I make a preemptive strike on this one, but GOD DAMN her lips are HUUUUUUUGE......nastyAnythingOutstanding said:
Megan Fox was annoying to all extent to me and I'm hoping this new one can at least deliver a performance that takes my eyes off her damn lips. JESUS, looking like Angelina Jolie...*Shudders*
