Transformers 3 Good for America Says Bay

So what Michael Bay is saying is "I WILL HELP THE CORPORATIONS MAKE MONEY!"
Such a patriot attitude.
Such a patriot attitude.
Here everyone thought I was crazy when I said I hated the first movie. I absolutely HATED the first movie and all everyone talked about was how great it was. I refused to even see the second one because I figured it would be more of the same: Terribly computer animated metal things rolling around in an incomprehensible pile.
Now they're making a third...can't wait until the whole entire RIT School of Film & Animation get a hold of this. We're going to have a field day!

Wait. He made the first Transformers. Which sucked. Then he made the second which sucked. Obviously the third one could only be good! [/sarcasm]
Agreed. They aren't going to win any awards or anything, at least they shouldn't, but they are just entertainment. Sure it's testosterone in film form, which is what makes it sell. I kind of feel bad for all the "cerebral" jaded people on here that they have to spurn anything that isn't "teh gr8tst evar!!!" and can't just enjoy something for being simple.zombie711 said:
Oh FFS! Transformers one was ok, Transformers 2 was shockingly bad (even won worst movie of the year 2009 from JT Approved. [small]Advertising one's self there JT? Pretty pathetic[/small]).
I was hopping Fallen had killed the series for good. maybe the third will be the final nail. here's hoping

I saw Transformers. Somewhere between the "Time is running out, we need to save the worl- oh gosh, don't let my parents see the twelve foot robots, lets pretend I'm sneaking girls into my room" scene, the "the only hope for humanity is these scrappy young people and their comic relief black sidekick" scene, the military unit turning on their superiors at the drop of a hat in support of the scrappy young people they've just met, and yet another "saved from falling to my death by being caught by an enormous metal hand" scene, I realized that this movie was really not made with me in mind, and that there probably wasn't enough alcohol in all the vineyards in California to allow me to disengage my mental process enough to really enjoy it.
I declined to see Transformers 2. And by all accounts, yea, there am I a happy man.
So now Bay is making Transformers 3. Whee. I'm sure it will make a fair amount of money. I don't doubt that it will, in fact, provide some stimulus to the economy. And it will continue the slide of Hollywood into vacuous, unoriginal oblivion.
Mostly I can't help but think that for the budget of a Transformers movie, Hollywood could give ten original scripts a shot, and/or allow ten new UCLA film grads a chance to show that they've got what it takes. And that's kind of sad. If the film industry and the video game industry run in parallel anywhere, these days, it's in an unwillingness to take risks on new ideas when there's a "sure thing" they could milk for one more sequel.
Go ahead and make it, Bay. But don't expect my $10.

Can someone give me a rundown of WHY the Transformer movies are so bad and who would be better suited to do a transformer movie?
Transformers has always kinda been "For America" like GI Joe. Only it started in Japan as "Microman" or "Mecha" and when it swam the O-chin it became Transformers.(as far as I understand)
In Conclusion:
What Michael Bay is REALLY saying is that Transformers will be made for its original intended audience, and for all of your people who aren't Americans and are sickened by this I guess that's just too bad for you, your going to see another lousy sequel. Its going back to what it used to be, a ripoff for America...Like "The Office". Only this time for the economy.
-------------------------------
Revenge of the Fallen could have been worse. In the end it accomplished everything it set out to do:
Big robots
Michael Bay
Explosions
Tits
More big explosions
Megan Foxes fine ass
------------------------------
So is the next stimulus package going to fund the next Transformers movie?

I love how people complain about Transformers having not plot when IT'S A TOY FRANCHISE TURNED INTO A CARTOON WITH THE ONLY "DEPTH" BEING ABOUT ROBOTS FIGHTING SPACE THAT TURN INTO BLOODY HELL OBJECTS AT RANDOM!
These are probably the same people that cry everytime a comic book is turned into a movie because it's not based on their level and just their level. AKA: Smoking pot in mom's basement while swallowing cholesterol intoxicating foods.
