[Daise]

Ok it's only the poster, but ZOMG how excitement.

Thoughts?

[Ryven]

If I don't see a group of smaller robots merge into one fucking big robot, I expect a refund...

[Daise]

It's Transformers, not Voltron

Ignorance much?

Actually... back in the original cartoon... I remember there was a bunch of transformers that formed together to make one big fuck-off robot.

They were green and were construction type vehicles.

Ahem.



:really:



I re-watched the first new film a few days ago. I remember having a pretty good time with it in the cinema, but I can't possibly be the only person to realise just how god-awful the movie is given any kind of reflection.

The story is painfully thin, the script and characters just cringe-worthy. It couldn't decide if it wanted to be a goofy kids film or a goofy action movie, so it tries to straddle both while Michael Bay does his typical, completely over-the-fucking-top action thing. As a technical achievement it's still quite excellent. The CG work is top notch, if a little busy (just tell me what the fuck is going on in some of those fight scenes, please) and Peter Cullen voicing Optimus Prime made me awfully happy, but overall the movie just doesn't quite work completely on any level. As a popcorn, no brain movie to check out with mates it's certainly worthy of your time, but has almost no qualities that make it watchable a second time.

I hope the sequel is everything the original should have been.

</film snob>

I'm with you Cam. There was just nothing to tie the movie to what we grew up with.

[KillSwitch]

Ohhh cant wait. haha

The constructacons (build by the deceptacons) combined to form devastator. They were still only the same size as skyfire (autobot) though, who used to transform into something resembling the space shuttle :O

Ahem.

Hence the next movie, lets just hope it gives for all those "movie buffs".

I just like the eye candy and sound affects, must still be a kid at heart.

Yeah! Don't you hate it when somebody messes with the vision of a cartoon made to sell toys.

:blahblahblah: weak story :blahblahblah: over-acted :blahblahblah:

Couldn't agree more. I was almost embarassed to be sitting there watching it. I'm glad that punk got some acting skills for Indiana Jones. If it weren't for Megan Fox I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much as I did.

At a stab in the dark, I guess what we're seeing is our generations "movies for kids that adults might will enjoy. Personally, I would love to see a dark version of Transformers (or any old school cartoon) that is not aimed at a 12 year old audience. Something that is targeted at late 20s-30s that used to watch the series as a kid. Something Hollywood isn't allowed to butt-rape
