OPTIMUS DOESN'T WANT YOUR DAMN LEMONS!
in all seriousness, lose the love interest and make soundwave a cassette player; and then i will be appeased.
wait, my wishes won't be implemented? SONUVAGUN!

Sadly a lot of trailers seem to do that now. It worked for Inception that doesnt mean you should shamelessly copy it because they thought it sounded cool.Suskie said:
It is in movies like the transformers series, that i love a certain talent i have:
I can ignore any flaws the plot has, and just enjoy the visuals. (this however does not go for WWII movies, school has made me bored of WWII.)

What is funny to me is I see people that didn't grow up watching the Transformers cartoons saying they liked the movies because it had lots of robots and explosions and they don't have old memories to cloud their judgement.
Now, I admit I do suffer from a bit of nostalgia when it comes to the Transformers, but if there's one arguement that I don't buy is that there were lots of robots. The first movie spends too much time trying to be funny, such as the 10 minute long scene in Sam's bedroom where the parents make awkward jokes in front of his new girlfriend. No robots and no explosions.
Now I do admit that when the robots were on the screen there were usually explosions, but the robots never really interact that much (other than shooting each other) and you don't get any personality from them. I don't want to know how Sam feels about his girlfriend. I want to hear the Autobots chatting it up or the hear the Decepticons arguing more with each other. If you're going to stop the action to hear about Sam's feelings, I'd much rather hear the Autobots joking with each other or Starscream kissing butt in one sentence and scheming in the next.
Yes, I told you I suffer from a bit of nostalgia. But I don't think it's too much to ask for more robots than humans, even when there's less action going on. Give the robots some personality -- and not the stereotyped "I've got a gold tooth and I talk with ebonics" personality from the second movie.
But the bottom line is more humans = less CGI = lower cost. So unless James Cameron will be doing the next Transformers movie, we'll continue to see a whole lot of Sam crammed in between some robots and explosions.

Nothing in this trailer made me think that this movie will be any different then the last one.
Looks like optimus and bumblebee will be slaughtering lots of unnamed robots that look the same.
Its another Michael Baysplosion movie, and it would take something with the word -job in it from Jessica Alba to convince me to drop any cash on this pile of crap series.

even with a gun, that baby face of Lebeouf's keeps him from looking dangerous.
"Where is she!!!??"
"Awww. . . aren't you just the cutest!"
Shia LeBeouf pointing a gun at me is the equivalent of Justin Timberlake pointing a gun at me (see Black Snake Moan): he's just not very threatening. at all.

Should be fun!
No seriously.
Loved the first one, loved the second one.
Time to love the first one.
(I really could not care less about story. I go into these movies for LOLZLOLZLOLZ ACTION SEQUENCE)
(I also hate the new actor for Megan Fox. Just take her out of the damn plot)

unfortunately what we saw in the trailer is probobly about half their scenes in the movie, you know like how he would tease us with the old previews were he did nothing but show scenes that would later cut away to the humans being one dimentional or blowing shit up.Glademaster said:
heck i can even provide an example in the 2'nd movie trailor:
scene 1 optimus is sword fighting robots, cool.
next scene- lubuff yelling OPTIMUS!!!
ugg~
I know but I am only going by the trailer but from past experience it will end up like that.Curtisthekiller said:
I loved the first Transformers and even though the second was basically crispy asshole, it was largely due to the comedy emphases.
In THIS trailer, I did not see a single throwaway joke or comedic line, so it actually looks pretty good.

NO WANT BIRD TRANSFORMER! WANT DINOBOTS! WANT GRIMLOCK! GRIMLOCK IS STRONGEST, BEAT ALL MOON DECEPTICONS!!!!
But in all seriousness, I would see this movie if the Dinobots were in it. They were originally (G1) created to combat Devastator after all (I think...that seems right anyway)

Optimus isnt captain planet you know. You dont just yell and he suddenly pops up. Or... at least he shouldnt.
But yeah, nice to see the designs are still... well... them.

I grew up to love the Transformers, i can see why everyone hates Michaels version of them, but really, i don't mind them, i just see it as a Re-imagining if you will.DEATHROAD said:
I can easily separate the 2, and i love both, i just hope in this film every Transformer has a Character to him/her (Looking at you Jolt and RC)
I liked the first one because it was focused.
I hated the second one because it was all over the shop and only bothered about squishy humans.
This one looks like more of LeBeouf getting out of a car looking shocked with his girlfriend doing fuck all except pout.
Giant robots can be relatable, any sentient being can. Tell your writers to WORK HARDER!!!
