Script For Transformers 2 Will Probably Suck

[G1eet]

I expect people will question my sexuality for this but I don't think Megan Fox is hot. I'll admit she has all the ingredients of a modern day hottie:
Nice breasts, long legs, vaguely Asian, bisexual.
She seems to be human being constructed solely to cater to the frat boy image of a hottie. She has no real presence in the movie other than as an ornament to look at.
I have never met her and will almost certainly never will but when I see her on magazines and film she seems almost like a CGI effect from a movie to me. Something not real and flawed and human. Just too clean and antiseptic and lifeless. I get the same feeling from the Tequila lady that was/is on MTV.

I'll have to agree with that last bit.

 

[UnwishedGunz]

your crazy any movie with giant robots rocks

 

[dantheman931]

Well, no one watches these movies for the plot anyway.

Then what DO they watch it for? Do they get paid to see it?

explosions I guess.

And seamless CGI transformations. Besides, it'll probably still make a fair profit, because many people who aren't here on the Escapist, learning about T2's suckiness, will walk blindly into the theater and expect the same thing they saw last time and liked: big testosterone fueled cars and Megan Fox. And they'll eat it up.

People like what they like. Who are you to judge? If you think you can do better, then jump down off your high horse, move to LA and prove it.

Ya know what really makes my brain ache?

The very first Transformers movie (with Eric Idle and Orson Welles in) [Yes, THAT Orson Welles. Yes, THAT Eric Idle] had a female Transformer in ("Arcee" voiced by the usually wonderful Susan Blu) and it still didn't suck as hard as the "First" one.

Let me re-iterate: Orson Welles.Look at that line up [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092106/fullcredits#cast]

It makes me shudder that someone can actually get this wrong when all you need are robots hitting each other.

So you're saying the animated movie would have been better if there hadn't been any pesky females in it? Dude, seriously, why can't there be female robots? It makes as much sense as male robots. Most of us give up that "no girls allowed" crap around age ten or so.

 

[Random Argument Man]

Mmmm Bad script+ Shia Leboeuf+ Hollywood+ over-done special effects= A FUCKING CRAPPY MOVIE.

Just had one of those options to any movies and your movie will suck.

The Script of the FIRST movie wasn't that good. It was still a good movie.

This about sums it up.

If they could make the male lead someone interesting, then it could go somewhere. Alas, they'll likely stick with the one they had in the last film: the guy who thinks with his testicles, and has his IQ drop about 40 points permanently every time the female love interest appears.

Oh, and there will be potty humor again. The scene where a Autobot, a mighty agent of justice, took a piss on a guy's head had me wanting to MURDER EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF THE PRODUCING TEAM.

Granted, the film was still fun, but that was only due to the awesome military/fight scenes.

 

[The Rockerfly]

I knew it was going to be bad but creating a thread bad. Now that means it's going to be horribly shitty.
At least it will make good films much better after watching Transformers 2

 

[GloatingSwine]

I hear there will be Gattai.

That, alone, will save the film.

 

[MBFCPresident]

Wait....people expect a good plot from a Micheal Bay movie that features giant, fighting robots?


Hmm....I just go expecting cool fight scenes, explosions, some more explosions, and an explosion to top it all off.

That's my plan. Though these guys have got some really good writing credits.

The people who get upset over a bad script in an action movie are like the people who harp on a bad plot in a video game. The writing is irrelevant, nobody intelligent cares about the intricacies of the plot in these things.

Obviously some of us do. And I'm guessing some of us are intelligent.

/me looks on in horror.
Yes, it does make as much sense as male robots. ROBOTS DON'T HAVE A GENDER. They lack certain things like reproductive organs that differentiate genders.

You two should love the film no matter what the script is. I still am working towards getting a scripting career so that licences can still have some respect and a director who actually knows his source material.

 

[Panzer_God]

I'm a movie critic by nature so I make it a point to find one good and one bad thing about every movie I go and see. Transformers wasn't great but it doesn't deserve this much hate. I could list a dozen movies that sucked worse then this that were released in this last year. If you're going to hate on a movie, hate on one that really, truly deserves it.

 

[Keldon888]

Oh lets just face the facts, unless they cut the humans out of the script, the movie was not going to be good. It's a Michael Kersplosion Bay movie, all I need is the best screen available, plot points are jsut time to get a snack.

 

[GloatingSwine]

Yes, it does make as much sense as male robots. ROBOTS DON'T HAVE A GENDER. They lack certain things like reproductive organs that differentiate genders.

However, the Transformers are adapting to deal with humans, and we do have genders and gender assumptions, so you could expect them to assume genders in order to facilitate communication or take advantage of gender assumptions.

Most decent super robot stories have, and are essentially about the squishies.

Even in stuff like GaoGaiGar, where most of the robots are actual robots and aren't piloted (and yes, they also have female robots in FINAL), there are still plenty of squishies running around.

You have a great job ahead of you in politics.

I called it before the strike

i called it before the first movie came out

oh and 3 7 18 23 24 42 and a bonus number 33

I mean seriously it seems like every big movie that comes out EVERYBODY, and I mean, EVERYBODY hates it, then again it could just be that those who hate it feel they need to spread the bile so they run to the internet.

the thing about the Transformers movie is that they gave a big middle finger to all the fans, unlike Star Wars and Indiana Jones, they completely ignored the story they had already. in interviews Micheal Bay said "i have never seen the transformers nor will i, i just wanted to make a movie with big robots and explosions"

And product placement, don't forget the product placement.

 

[GloatingSwine]

Face it, where there are boy robots they will shortly be followed by girl robots.

Dude, he was calling YOU out for sounding sort of sexist with your post. I don't really blame him for reaching that conclusion, this line sounded off somehow:

"had a female Transformer in ("Arcee" voiced by the usually wonderful Susan Blu) and it still didn't suck as hard as the "First" one."

That makes it sound like the movie was good REGARDLESS of having a female Transformer in it. That's why he's offended

 

[WolfmanNougat]

All I know is the trailer was none too pleasing. Last time it was a cheap teen love story with some robots, now it's a cheap ancient mystery story... with some robots. Adventure ho(!)
Also Megatron.

 

[Melon Hunter]

Let's face it, some people will see this film just because it's got Megan Fox in it.
