Script For Transformers 2 Will Probably Suck

[Rigs83]

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.

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 breast, 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've got some other shocking news you won't believe, Barrack Obama is president. (Not a raciest statement)

 

[Tahmoh]

it looks like theyve got more big robots fighting each other this time and a reasonably good storyline involving the rise of one of the prophesied 13 original transformers (the fallen) so it should be a fairly good film imo, as for the humans well who knows megatron may actually get to kill some this time

 

[incubus42]

One serious question:
Is there anybody out there who will watch the movie for its story?

The special effects and robots were pretty much the only appeal of film number 1 and will also be for film number 2. I mean, the story of the first one was already really bad. I was asking myself, while watching the beginning of the first movie, if the movie takes itself serious; stupid flying ultimate power cube.

 

[Sir Ollie]

Well this movie has already ruined the Constructicons

# Scavenger
# Hightower - I'm pretty sure that Hightower was a Goddamn Autobot!
# Long Haul
# Mixmaster
# Rampage

Yeah...

Explosions, giant robots, giant robots transforming into sweet vehicles, giant robots in epic fight scenes, seamless CGI, Megan Fox.

This one will be epic.

The thing with the first movie was that the plot had a very strange role. In most films, the action scenes help drive the plot forward. In Transformers, the plot helped drive the action scenes forward. I'm expecting the same again.

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.

Gosh, such negativity from you guys. I really enjoyed the first movie and I hope the second one is just as good if not better.

I won't ask what you guys hated about it because I don't really feel like reading that wall of text and hearing about how they fucked up your childhood. My standards for movies must be really low because I enjoy almost every movie I watch. I don't think they're all masterpieces, but they leave me feeling quite content when I leave the theater.

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.

I set forth a challenge to all of you to do what I do when I go see a movie; Sit down in the theater with little to no expectations about what's coming and grasp the basic concept that movies are meant to be entertaining. Don't go in expecting it to be the thing of fan-fiction because its not. Try, just try to freaking enjoy a movie for once instead of looking for everything bad about it.

That's my two cents on the matter, I really don't care what you think about it.

Agreed. I don't get why people feel the need to hate on everything that comes out just because it's new; that doesn't make you hardcore, it just makes you a tool. Plus, I want to point out that Star Trek II was written in 12 days, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_II:_The_Wrath_of_Khan] and that movie was pretty damn good. So it's not like it can't happen.

I'll have to agree with that last bit.

your crazy any movie with giant robots rocks

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.

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.

 

[scotth266]

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.

 

[not a zaar]

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.
