Official TRANSFORMERS Thread

[g-bebe]

Didn't see this anywhere, so here's the official pre-release thread.

This is definetly the movie I've been looking forward to most this summer, moreso than Spiderman 3 (haven't seen it), POTC:AWE (was good), or Shrek 3 (haven't seen it).

According to Wiki, Spiderman 3 and Shrek 3 were the first and third top box office opening weekends ever in history, and while I don't think Transformers will do that well, I still think it's going to be great. The seamless transforming looks excellent, the cast and most specifically the voices (Hugo Weaving ftw) look very good. Should be pretty huge in Japan, at least.

Anyone else as excited as I am?

Loved the original Transformers as a kid and i will see this due to that, but i don't see any way this doesn't suck. It looks too much like those crappy modern CGI Transformers and not enough like the originals for my taste.

It looks more magical than mechanical to me. Like the pieces dissolve into another shape.

I never really got into Transformers as a kid - just passed me by for some reason.

When i first head Michael Bay was directing - i figured its another Bay classic where he misses the mark and its a POS.

Then i realised he is actually good at brainless car chase scenes and big action set pieces. Well, these are cars that turn into robots - no way even Bay can screw it up, in fact its just about as perfect a film for him as i can think of.

Also, it will be a really bad film, just fun and enjoyable to watch like Die Hard 4.0 will be and Next was.

What is the acronym POTC:AWE?

Edit - after hitting submit realised its Pirates 3.

It looks to me like he did screw it up pretty bad. The original transformers cartoon actually is pretty interesting. The whole point of being transformers is that they're undercover from the humans; the autobots and decepticons fight each other and try to return to their home planet, and try to avoid a war with the humans.

This movie seems to just be turning the transformers into scary monsters with no personality and making it a disaster/terror movie which is lame and so typical.

I'm excited for this purely based on the eye-candy that it looks like it will have. Isn't this why everyone goes to see any comic book or cartoon turned film? I'm sure people can cite translations that did do very well (i.e. V for Vendetta, an X-Men or two, etc.) but this movie just LOOKS cool, which is why I want to see it. And of course, like most other kids, I loved the toys and the show.

This movie will be the highest grossing of the year.
Aintitcool news has a few reviews so far and they have all been generally good.Possible Spoilers

You must have a true love of overstatement.
