It bit early but lets have Unicron as the main villain.
Bump. Since their is a 3rd movie now in works, lets post ideas in here for now.
I want my Dinobots to be in it, but I also wouldn't want Bay raping them like he did Devastator...
I hope see Galvatron, Cyclonus, Scourge, and Grimlock for the 3rd movie.
Why Galvatron? Megatron isn't dead.
Ultra Magnus and Shockwave. If Unicron shows up, you just know Bay's gonna make him explode. Maybe Nemesis Prime too?
After watching all the behind the scenes stuff from ROTF's DVD, the amount of time they had to work was a big factor for all the shortcomings of that movie besides the twins, hopefully with this extra time Bay has, he can really hone in on the story, include fewer bots, and make this one more personable. We still saw little of Jolt, Sideswipe, Ratchet and Ironhide.
Ironhide was the one I really missed in ROTF. He was awesome in the first one, but nothing in the second.
Can't wait for this one! Give the robots a little more character development and we have an awesome trilogy!
I personaly like Bays style and what he has done with the Transformers films.
I think hes made the movies way better than they deserve to be, because lets face it the transformers cartoon is ultra cheesy and extremely corny. The movies are a million times more badass.
Then you've never seen the cartoon because if you had, you wouldn't be saying that. Bay made a good first film, but the sequel was a joke.
Seriously, humping dogs? Humping Wheelie? Devastator turned into a gorilla? Devastator with testicles? Robots that can go to the bottom of the Atlantic without taking damage? A love argument in a library while a killer robot is chasing you? Turning Optimus Prime into the Punisher?
I could go on.
As for the cartoons, I have only seen the first season of the show from the 80's and it is awesome!
G1 has plenty plenty of plot holes. Here's an example: In the episode "A Prime Problem" Megs makes a Prime clone. They scan the two, so we get a full X-ray of Prime. Then, in the 1986 movie, the matrix, which has never been seen or heard of before, appears inside him. G1 and Animated are the best though. Animated Megs would destroy any other.
The first one was ok, albeit very cheesy and immature, but ok. The sequel was horrible, however. I regret ever watching it, Bay is just childish, his movies are for teens, not for hard-core sci-fi fans like me.
Giant mechs from space acting like children. Awful.
The only one that acted like a child was Bumblebee. Everyone else did what was required of them.

That's hardly a logical complaint. With the physics they've set up in this movie, it just wouldn't look right had he been designed any different.
QuoteRobots that can go to the bottom of the Atlantic without taking damage?
This one is a bit iffy, but it's hardly a complaint that MAKES THE MOVIE BAD.
QuoteTurning Optimus Prime into the Punisher?
You're one of those who thought Optimus was too brutal? I bet you were one of the people who said he was handled like a bitch in the first movie.
If you're talking about him putting a bullet in the brain of Demolishor at the beginning of the movie, what was he going to do? Take him to Decepticon prison on Earth?

I'll admit I never read a comic book or saw the animated series, but still, I don't find the behaviour of the autobots to be appropriate for colossal alien biomechs or whatever they are..

I have seen the cartoon and the cartoon series in [MY OPINION] was corny as hell. They were fun when I was a kid but the movies I thought was insanely better. It had an impressive, strong military tone which I liked a lot and having some of the most intense action scenes I've ever seen.
Whats wrong with the humping wheelie and dog? lol that was mad funny, who wouldn't laugh at that? The fact your taking it so seriously makes it even more funny.
The robot with the giant balls looked insane first of all, when I saw him transform my jaw just dropped completely. I mean, that robot alone CGI wise I think made a computer crash in the editing room.
Who cares if there was one shot where you see his giant balls lol, again where is your sense of humor?
The library scene was funny too, the part where he starts talking about how the female terminator felt diesel and how he wasn't going to talk to her for 10 seconds and started counting down with his fingers was mad funny because of the fact there are giant evil robots coming to get them.
Again where is your sense of humor?
Transformers was never a dark, rated R, thought provoking sci-fi series. It was always aimed at the children. I personally see a dark side to both Transformers films, I mean the battle scenes are no joke and how the military was portrayed wasn't a joke either. The overall look and cinematography make both Transformers look like dark serious films, I love the look of both films personally.
As for Optimius looking like the Punisher....ummmm
where did you get that from? I never got that impression at all, in fact when I saw him transformer with all the upgrades the first thought that came to mind was "holy dear god you look great!" ;D
Just my opinion, I understand where your coming from, so please don't bite my head off.

It doesn't make any sense. It was said in the first movie the Laurentian Abyss' sheer depth would crush and entomb the bodies of what was dumped there, so how the hell did they go down and up with no problems?

Rubbish. The original Devastator was a giant, bipedal Decepticon. How would this:

No, I hardly think he was too brutal, but he seemed a tad out of character. In the cartoon, he wasn't above using brute force if he needed to but he was pointing guns at his opponents point blank range and asking "ANY LAST WORDS!?!!" I half-expected him to say "See you in hell".

I can't see your pic, but no, I don't think it would have. Look at how big the body parts of Devestator turned out once transformed, never would have worked.

So why does a movie aimed at children have jokes about masturbation, humping, and sex?
I think people (like my self) loved the G1 series because they grew up watching it. Some of the Marvel comics where pretty dark though.

Michael Bay Planning Less Action in "Transformers 3"
http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=15660&count=0
Could it be? Could Bay finally have come to his senses?
"It can't get bigger, we have to figure out to go sideways and I'm wondering where to start. What I'm doing is having Hasbro send me tons of lore and stuff like that, things that we can draw from, and I just have to let it simmer. Definitely more has to be made of Bumblebee in the third one, that's a relationship you want to explore more. And I think we're definitely going to get more into the robot characters.
This movie got very big, very grand, we've covered a lot of ground. The third one doesn't have to be as big, we could go darker. It definitely has to be more emotional, it not going to be just about action, action, action. And that's where I think T3 might potentially go, where things are more undercover and not as exposed."
Makes sense, can't wait to see what Bay does with it.
I'm sick of Bumblebee, let's see more of the other Autobots, namely the ones featured in the first since we never saw them in the 2nd, along with other familiars (Wheeljack, Mirage, Cliffjumper, and Hound come to mind).
Bring on Unicron already.
Give us Primus, Unicron, and his Heralds.
Prowl, Wheeljack, Cliffjumper, Hound, Inferno, Bruticus Maximus, Superion, Ultra Magnus, Shockwave...Just throw everyone in!

No. That's a bad idea because he will have to be a centre force within the film that would require much attention. Too much, that it would take away from the rest of the film.

He wasn't in the animated movie. It did a perfect job of balancing between the regular guys and Unicron.
Besides, a planet-eating robot in a live-action movie would look sweet.
If they add him in then they would likely water him down like they did with Galactus in the second FF4 movie.
I don't see why. This series is all about excess. Doesn't get much more excessive than a giant planet-eating robot.
Which is why A) I don't trust Bay handling the character and B) Unicron would take away from the 3rd film like I said. The animated film is a different story because there were hardly, in fact close to zero, humans in that movie. The live films always have Mikala and Sam at the centre of the film. How are they going to play into a Unicron storyline?

Yeah, cos it's not like a transformer could, I dunno, transform into one. Or something.
QuoteI don't trust Bay handling the character
It's a toy commercial - not Shakespeare.
If they do make him appear in the movie then make him like the Unicron from the comics and the Armada series (even though their the same character though) where they make him powerful enough to blow up the whole universe.
Not big on Unicron showing up. With the Matrix gone, what plaot device can stop him now? I'd prefer Megatron and the others show up with a huge Decepticon armada. They tear the world a new one, then a giant group of bots shows up. In the end, it should just be the bots and cons fighting, no human military. Maybe Starscream and co. take out a bunch of military bases around the world? Skywarp, Thundercracker ect.
QuoteWith the Matrix gone, what plaot device can stop him now?
A small thermal exhaust port, right below the main port.
Megan Fox's tears?
Unicron is a good reason for Bay to make a new record on how many stuff gets destroyed in one movie. Maybe he will beat 2012 in terms of destructive dapacity if he adds Unicron. If they add Unicron then add Primus also in it.

George Lucas said the same thing about Star Wars, "It's going to be more of a love story, not alot of CGI."
That was about Episode II: Attack of the Clones. Same damn thing was said about the CGI monster, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

But Optimus can't die more than once a continuity! If they kill Sam and co. good is all I can say. The only thing that'd be cool about Unicron is the massive boom he's gonna make when Bay blows him up.
The second one sucked so bad, I refuse to see the third one out of principle.
Bring on Dinobots, they're fan favourites. And they're second to Unicron in a fan poll I once saw.
I really want the Dinobots and Ultra Magnus to be in the sequel.
As if playful benevolent space bots turning into cars weren't ridiculous enough..

Meh. I still like it. It's reminding me almost entirely of the cartoon, given the setting and the vehicle modes some Transformers adopt.
The fact it's recalling the cartoons is another reason it made me think it's fanficish.
I like the 80's idea theme to it, It gives us G1 fans something good for once. It looks like Unicron does not appear in the movie which is good since they will likely screw him up.

Not a bad thing in this case. It makes for a better movie.
I don't think Bay would ever use that script and he will likely change it. I do remember him saying he won't be working TF3 that much since he is working on another movie at the same time IIRC?
Looking at the trailer for the video-game, Transformers:War On Cybertron, we get a look at the Bayverse version of Omega Supreme at the end. Hopefully, he's a canadate for TF3. Especially the design shown. Here's the trailer for those of you curios to what the Autobot Guardian looks like. http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=video&show_id=211771 (http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=video&show_id=211771)
Not bad, but it'd be interesting to see how he transforms. Surely it won't be like in the cartoon because that would really silly.
War on Cybertron looks awesome, and I like the ideas for TF3 seen in the screenplay. But I'm not sure how it will work out on screen.
The action beats feel awkward, the dialogue needs polishing and trimming, the characters are either out-of-character, forced in, or absent, and the time travel makes less sense than anything in Transformers 2. It's "Back to the Future meets Transformers: The Movie" by way of a few Bay characters. I'll admit, the premise leads to some nice G1 and Beast Wars references. But this needs a writer who can get to the point, trim the more absurd moments, and fill in the monotony of Sam and Mikaela's tomfoolery with some summer action movie humor. Maybe cut back on the fan references, too, since the movies are their own thing.
I'm not sure why anyone's getting excited about this. Yeah, it has some cool ideas, but do 126 pages worth of robots standing around on a bridge sound like something you'd pay $10 to go see?
If this is the official script, then I know I won't be paying to see it.

The story builds up to techno jargon and the constant reminder that the humans "is smart" enough now to be marginally helpful. That's not going to entertain people who came to see the first two.

John Malkovich and Ferrari Autobot Join "Transformers 3"
http://worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=17139&count=0
"Transformers 3 has been going very well. We are going to shoot in LA, Chicago, Washington DC, Florida, Texas, Africa, Moscow, and China. On the talent front, we just locked in Frances McDormand and John Malkovich. Both amazing actors I've always wanted to work with. We also just got Ken Jeong, he is the super funny actor stuck in the trunk from 'Hangover' and the Doctor from 'Knocked Up.'
We start shooting pre-shoots in about one month.
I also was at a Ferrari charity event this week raising money for a hospital being built by Ferrari in Haiti. I announced that night the newest Autobot to join Transformers: the Ferrari 458 Italia (pictured below).
I also want to thank everyone on this site that donated to the Make-A-Wish charity. We raised $20,000 which I will personally be matching. This is a great charity where they make wishes come true for kids who are very ill. We have had many Kids from Make-A-Wish visit us on our Transformers sets and this time we will be posting video of their visits on Transformers 3."
One word,
Dinobots.

Yay another film about Megan foxs ass and explosions!!!! I can't wait.

So who is going to be the main villain in this one?
QuoteSo who is going to be the main villain in this one?
Is the Unicron.
I don't think their has been any official word about Unicron being in the movie. I doubt he will appear though.
I hope it isn't Unicron. He alone would take 3-4 movies.
He would pretty much screw up the whole movie-verse of Transformers since they would have to water him down. Their is only one Unicron, and Unicron that appears in the G1 series, comics, and the Unicron triogly are the same character.
They are from different continuities I think.
I dont think that the fact that it is released in 2011 is something good. I hope Micheal Bay doenst overworks himself, he already spent so much energy in Transformers 1 & 2. Actually, he wanted to take a year break before filming, but paramount or whoever sayed no, i guess.
Hope this one gets a bit darker than usuall, and hopefully better than TF2.
How can they pull off Unicron Planet eating powers on screen? It seems like they would put a big load of money for adding him on screen.
I dont think that they will add Unicron.. but if they did, micheal bay will break the limits of CGI, once again.

No Unicron. Please.
Hope the next to melt is Ehren Kruger.
However, i really DONT want to see f**king unicron. He would be the reason why the third movie will suck.
Just because: He would take to much production time and costs, so they cant focus on the other bots, which have more personality, like the awesome optimus prime. I hope micheal bay decides to make this movie more character heavy and exploring the transformers characters more, it would complete this new take on moviemaking that transformers introduced.
I was really disappointed with the decepticons in revenge of the fallen, i hoped they would get atleast as much screentime as the autobots in part one, but nope, they are even more pushed to the side.
They should also really reduce the number of bots and focus more on a few. I was disappointed with the constructicons in ROTF. I hoped they would be something like important characters which were sent to track down sam, but nope, they were pushed to the side like a old pair of shoes.

I know. I'm on Seibertron alot more than I am here. ROTF would have been much better without them.
I completely agree. Maybe they should cut them in a re-release. Almost, if all, aren't even functional to the story. if you watch or not watch them, it's no problem to understand what is the story.
I love the movie, but the jokes irritated me. The Twins weren't as annoying as I feared, but the dog humping, the mom eatting pot, Devies Balls.... :'(
I want this one to be great, to make up for that. I want a fight to top the forrest battle.
I loved some of the details used on the TFs. Like the little blades moving onwards and backwards on the Fallen's face.
And the Twins were really annoying. Wish Devastator had really got rid of one!
In TF3 I want the Decepticons to be a threat. In the first film, they killed Jazz. Second film, "Arcee". Wow. What bad asses. They kill the weakest chacters in the movie (I'm not counting Prime. They triple teamed him and Megs had to sneak up to get him, I'm talking one on one fights.)
Yep, Mikaela got more kills than Megatron ::)
No... NONONONONOO NO!! NO, NO NOnoNONO!!!!...!!! :(
Not another one of these ****ing things...

However, i really DONT want to see f**king unicron. He would be the reason why the third movie will suck.
Just because: He would take to much production time and costs, so they cant focus on the other bots, which have more personality, like the awesome optimus prime. I hope micheal bay decides to make this movie more character heavy and exploring the transformers characters more, it would complete this new take on moviemaking that transformers introduced.
I was really disappointed with the decepticons in revenge of the fallen, i hoped they would get atleast as much screentime as the autobots in part one, but nope, they are even more pushed to the side.
They should also really reduce the number of bots and focus more on a few. I was disappointed with the constructicons in ROTF. I hoped they would be something like important characters which were sent to track down sam, but nope, they were pushed to the side like a old pair of shoes.
Bay did say he wants to put more character development in the third film and make it darker, so you'll probably get what you want. Also agree with your view on Unicron in the movie.
I actually want
more bots to be honest. I'd like to see Wheeljack, Cliffjumper, Huffer, Braun, and Hound added to the Autobot team at least, along with Soundwave on legs, Thundercracker, and Skywarp added to the Decepticons.
I demand a G1-driven re-boot..the cheesy comedy and overwhelming emphasis on the large human cast has smothered these films IMO. I quite enjoyed the first one, but ROTF was absolutely dreadful. The designs as well, way off from what they should be even if I did like the detail and realistic qualities of the cgi (again moreso in the first film). The War For Cybertron game is much more along the lines of how the characters should look, very detailed but heavily armoured and with many similarites to the original designs.

Oh Jesus, is Bay really going to try and send a message to Iran? Beware of our giant automated robots!!!!
Will they be as laughably realised as the Jordanians in TF2?
Huge reaction from US troops, "We got Jordanians!"
Decepticon fires one shot.
Jordanian helicopter crashes.
The end.
QuoteI actually want more bots to be honest.
Just make them easier to tell apart. I sure couldn't tell them apart a lot of the time in the second flick, which was largely rubbish.
I saw this on the small screen at home and to be honest the sting wasn't all that painful like I thought it was going to be. I actually enjoyed quite a lot of it but there was some really pointless shit in there as well. The film needed some trimming for sure. Wayyyyyy to long.

I hear that. Hell, did we even get new bots in the 2nd film that anyone at all recognized? There might as well have been simply only Prime and Bumblebee. I don't even remember seeing Ratchet or Iron Hide.
I'd rather keep the bots we have and add Unicron, than throw in another half a dozen bots I'm not going to be able to tell apart from the existing half a dozen anyway.
They were easy to tell apart in the cartoon. Just give them more distinctive colouring or something.
Yes, but I think it's pretty clear at this point we won't be getting robots easy to tell apart in these films, otherwise they would've done it by now.
I think TF3 will be the final battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron. and the autobots find a way to revitalise--- Oops I mean revive Cybertron and Sam and Mikeala get so frisky Sam knocks up Mikeala (though not onscreen ofcourse, but is revealed at the end of the film).
heres one of the problems I have with a so called "Final Battle of Optimus Prime and Megatron" it can never be done successfully. and I mean that because it was never seen in G1. all we got was Prime dying and coming back after a season. and Megatron becoming Galvatron. and even then Prime never killed or captured Galvatron. infact, I think the fight will never end. even in the film. they'll say its the final TF film. but I think they then work on a Beast Wars trilogy.
but if they do have a final battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron. it won't be as epic as many poeple will say it was. cuz it can't be done. I mean yeah, we all know Optimus will kill Megatron. no doubt about it. but it won't be satisfying. and will never will. because the battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron, is Destined to go on even after man is gone. the battle will wage on!

What are you talking about? You just need to pay more attention or you have a REALLY bad eye. I can tell EVERY robot apart from another. The designs are just to different. (actually, you need to pay ALWAYS pay attention in a Transformers film, or you will dont get anything, because, Transformers 1&2 arent films you can watch while leaving your brain at home, you need to think)
And i also think a good final fight between Megatron and Optimus is impossible, because we dont want to see it. However, maybe Michael Bay can get it right, or he finds another solution to end the movie franchise.

Why does everyone want to see Unicron so much? I wouldn't want him to receive the same treatment Galactus did in FF2, and there are other options filmmakers could explore before jumping right into such a monster character.
I realy wouldn't care about Unicron. but they should have put him in the second film cuz otherwise Unicron will only have a few minutes on screen then gets blown up.
honestly, live action movies do little to NO justice to a franchise that started as a cartoon or comic book series. they kill off fan favorite charactors (Jazz, Brawl, Devastator, Bonecrusher etc) because the directors don't want to use the charactors so long otherwise they have to create the charactors background cuz they like to get lazy.
this is why live action films based on cartoons or comics are not my favorite kind of stuff.

I was "attacking" the idea that these are anything more than popcorn flicks... and even in that, they're not really. They're too damn long to qualify. Seriously, why does a movie about robots kicking the crap out of eachother have to be two hours?

Didn't realise 21 was a
little kid.
Seriously, you cant see the blaring stupidity of these films? Thinking man's movies? I love films with intellectual depth, these films don't have any.
"Mission City is 20 miles away, we're gonna take this cube and hide it somewhere in the city."
AHH!!! What the Hell!? Why? A short time later in the film we are then told the only reason they brought it to the city was to evac it. Why couldn't the airlift meet the convoy halfway outside the city, and take it? What makes the Autobots unable to protect it? Were they programmed to lose, like the Gorgonites?
Not to mention... You want to take the one object a horde of giant, heavily armed, robots are solely here for into the populated city where hundreds of people will get caught in the cross fire and very likely get killed? Nobody even gives this problem a moments lip service?
You know why its like that? Everyone wanted robots blowing eachother new gear-shafts in a city, and they didn't care how. That shows immediately these films were not written to be "thinker's movies" at all. In a movie designed for a person to think, you have a certain level of human realism, which is absent here. You literally go by the formula "Form follows function." Meaning, you write things as realistically as you can, and insert the outrageous things amidst your grounding.
I could go on, but this is already way off topic. So let me see if i can tie this into the thread...
Transformers 3 will be just as mindless, and in 20 years people will completely forget about these films. ;D
The TF movies are big-budgeted action films with irrisory plot. They're good for the action. nothing less, nothing more.
Wouldn't it be MORE dangerous to hide to cube in the city?
Why did the Marines head an offensive IN the city with civilians everywhere? Why not try to lure the robots to an open area.
These were the questions I was asking my self when I watched Transformers.
these films where made the same reason why the AvP movies where made. to milk the cash cow.
Hasbro/Paramount saw how the Franchise was starting to become popular again, and Hasbro/Paramount, being the typical money-grubbing company that they are, wanted to cash in the cow sence it was now fatter then ever! so they desided to make some movies so they can get more merchindice and more money.

Also, since the twins were so unpopular, I hope Michael Bay will take a clue and kill them off in the first five minutes.

Pfft, f**k Unicron. I want Dinobots!
I hope this stays as a trilogy. It'd be good. Megatron has an awesome death, after killing Starscream and crushing several Autobots first. >=D
I REALLY liked the first one but the second wasn't as good, and i think this'll be good.
I liked both movies, though the first was better than the second. They are by no means great movies, but they are really, really fun. I'm excited to see what comes of Transformers 3.
I liked the first one, it was a fun loud action-packed summer film. But the second one had plot holes the size of Texas in it.
If this one redeems the second one by alot, I will be impressed.
I'm a sucker for both movies but yeah the second film was pretty week but had some decent moments, if the third movie doesn't have the twins i will already consider an improvement.

So who's going to be the piece of ass in the film?
Gemma Arterton.
Did the Fox character really do anything in the second film? Don't remember.
Has she been cast?
Rumoured.
Well she ain't the only one.
http://www.aintitcool.com/node/45167
They wouldn't dare touch Vanessa Hudgens.
And I highly doubt Zoe Saldana would touch them.
I think it's stupid they are dropping her.
Like changing love interests will help in anyway. It'll just come off as weird and stupid. As if the whole "I love you" subplot could get more pointless.
Wasn't there a previous report of Fox on set?
Apparently these were the reasons, according to MSN:
Megan Fox will not enter the next "Transformers" after confronting the director Michael Bay with derogatory comments, and Shia LaBeouf's character will have a new love interest.
Megan Fox after having compared the director Michael Bay with Hitler and has said that 'it is a nightmare to work with him, "Bay replied with a statement ironic and somewhat insulting to your blog, which predicted that the relationship between the two not would be healthy. But according to Deadline, Megan Fox nor come into the third film.
There is no evidence that the abandonment of Fox's film is negative comments by the boss, but the Deadline stated that the decision regarding the continuation or non-Fox in the movie, it's just Bay Sources close say the movie until now there will be a new character to replace Fox, and according to The Wrap, that girl is Gemma Arterton ("Clash of the Titans"). However, the site also highlights three names as possible candidates: Bar Rafaeli, model girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio, Miranda Kerr, an Australian model known for being one of the faces of Victoria's Secret and Brooklyn Decker also model and actress in early career, with parts in shows like "Ugly Betty" or "Chuck."
Whoever the choice of Bay, you will not play the role of Megan Fox, Mikaela. This will be entirely removed from the film and actress replacement will fill the void left in the heart of Shia LaBeouf's character.
At this rate, by actor Shia LaBeouf, the film comes to giving up because of eye injury he had during filming the second movie, and cast members dropped out and criticizes negative that movie had.

Probably Megatron killed her or something like that...
I think that this Fox-is-fired thing is either a rumor or a bluff put in by Bay to... um... lower the hate? I dunno.
Mikaela's one of the basic characters of the storyline and can't be left out like this.
I know what you all are thinking, that character is not important to the story. But believe it or not, she is.
Plus Bay is not that stupid to not understand Fox's body is what brought 40-50% of the Box office.
How is she in any way important? The only acts of bravery I recall on her part was strapping Bumblebee to the tow truck and ramming evil Decepticon girl into a pole.
Wow, I'm a prophet! :o
Anyway she's the protagonist along with Shia, doubt she'll go away easily.

It should be like that Gorillaz video, with Bruce Willis driving a muscle car shootin' at folk.

Beckinsale is hotter than all actresses. ;) And Yes, I'd love to see her, but as said, she doesn't really belong in a boom-boom film of the TF type.
Yeah, though I loved the hell out of the Underworld movies, I don't think she'd go good with the cast. Especially as a romance interest for Shia. :D

Wait a movie about transforming robots blowing each other up should have a plot? ???
It's not impossible.
No but i'm hardly expecting a deep thought provoking movie that questions the meaning of life and all that exists in our world and beyond, i'm betting more than half the people who have seen these movies only done so just to watch robots knock f**k out of each other........in M Bay-o-vision. 8)
Who said anything a deep plot? Just give us something that makes sense and is coherent.

From a Bay movie? ??? Thats asking a bit too much right?
Alas, the boy is right. :-\
True, true, we haven't seen much of anything from bay save for explosions, but I have faith in TF3. Shia LeBoef (I think I spellled that right) said there is going to be a lot more drama in 3. I usually prefer action and adventure, but I don't mind a little death and tragedy to spice up the plot. But THEY HAD BETTER NOT KILL OPTIMUS!!! I know I may sound crazy for saying this but I HATED THAT RODIMUS PRIME shit!

Correction :P I don't really care what way they go with this one. I do hope for a better story, but as long as its entertaining, I'll be happy.
But I mean They killed him in ROTF. Don't you think that it would be tiresome to see it AGAIN?
they should put in shockwave, can't belive Bay wouldn't even put him in the second one

Yeah I was wondering the exact same thing. Instead of bringing back characters from the first film randomly out of the blue that aren't that familiar anyway such as Grindor why not include the more classical characters and new such as Shockwave.
You sure you'd want him to rape Shockwave the same way he did Soundwave?

damn your right, poor soundwave, shockwave should not be included, thats why i'm looking forward to T:WFC
Maybe Soundwave will get a bigger role in 3. Then we will have 3 main Decepticons, instead of the random no names from ROTF. It seems like Soundwave was playing more of a Shockwave role in ROTF. I think Shockwave would be cool in the movie also. I wonder how a movie Shockwave would look?
Times ago i found a fan-art of a movie version Grimlock... based on a T.rex Skeletal with all the bone detail, while it was spitting fire... wish I had it again.

Yeah i thought soundwave was pretty well done in ROTF, would've been stupid if it was a boombox.
He was a lame satellite. In robot form he was generic, skinny robot number 3.
'Cept we never see his robot form in the film. Soundwave was awesome BTW
I was more going by concept art and the action figures tbh. Ive still not seen Roll On The Floor yet and might not. I've heard nothing but the worst. Still, a random new satellite design ? Could've slapped any name on it then.
A lot of the Figures based on the movie characters aren't 100% accurate to what was onscreen. See Leader Class Optimus Prime in the 2007 Movie Line of Transformers.

Sure, I love me an eight-eyed, tentacled satellite that deviates entirely from the original design ::)
Who cares? It's a reconception.
And thats a risk. What if I remade him a pink beach buggy that spouts one liners ?
Obviously a reconception has to evocate the original. To me, SW from ROTF does.
How is a gigantic, octo-satellite anything like a tape recorder ?
Wasn't Soundwave a radio?
A Reconcepticon? My god....

It's the basis of remakes and transpositions, really.
I've rarely liked either. Just make a whole new thing, dont piss up the original. :P
Whole new thing would be known as a "rip-off" of another, which would be the original in the case of a reconception.
It could be a spin-off. And if you mean in terms of characters, a new decepticon who is a satellite would not have been likened to SW.
There was a Decepticon shaped like a Shuttle in a series. They could've used that instead, but I'm cool with movie SW being the modern version of the original.
i always reckoned SW should have been like a hive mind of loads of those cd player things from the first movie.

I just wanna see Astrotrain in the new one. A white bullet train that turns into a huge robot on all fours and turns two passenger carriages into huge shoulder cannons.

I think that a satellite that is used as a means of a communication fits in with the conception of Soundwave being a Communication Officer in the original series, even more so than a radio. It made sense that he was a satellite in modern times and even more so he accomplished so much in so little time by having an alternate mode of a satellite.

When the new design doesn't even remotely resemble the original, that's a problem for me. I want to see the original robot, not some alien design that Bay pulled out of his ass.

i couldn't tell if megatron was megatron in the first movie, the only reason i knew is because the autobots tell you and that brings me on the subject of Jazz and ironhide, and he changed brawl's name from brawl to devastator, and I'm not going to begin on Transformer two character mistakes. Truth is the only thing i like about the two movies is their great action scenes and amazing cgi work on the transformers, and Shia LaBeouf just kills the what's suppose to be "dramatic" moment in any situation

The resemblance is there a little bit, I guess. But still, Bay's version looks fanciful.

Oh sorry, thought you were referring to Soundwave.

Badass.
Seen that, terrific picture. It's definitely what the Dinobots should look like if they're ever put into a movie.
I agree. I love how the artist has done all the structure basing it upon a T.rex Skeleton!
Also, if someone would find a bigger version of that art piece I'd thank very much... :)

I'm more concerned about how Bay would treat. The Dinobots are supreme wrecking machines that are more or less invincible. I'm worried he'll turn them into complete idiots for the sake of comic relief.
Well, TF3 is supposed to be darker. If they appear, I have faith. Well, I'm off to finish watching ROTF (Watched 1 and half of 2 yesterday). And that concept are of Grimlock is really, really great!
They won't. Bay already said he hates them and won't include them.
I don't think he really hates them, I just think he doesn't know how to approach them.

No, Bay said multiple times that he hates them. Then again, Megatron isn't in ROTF, and the Twins won't be in 3. :P
Thing with Megatron though is, you can't really not use him since he's the leader of the Decepticons.

I hated that. It lowered Megatron, the infamous Decepticon spark-eating tyrant that puts fear into ordinary beings, was a disciple.
I liked it, but I wish Megatron would have shown some signs of rebellion. Maybe Optimus couldn't have killed The Fallen, only weakened him, then Megatron saw his chance, and killed him, making himself leader of the Decepticons.
Originally, (as it's still in the comic and novel adaptions) Megs was supposed to ababdon the Fallen when he learned that The Fallen couldn't make him a Prime. I like'd that version better, especially the "I will never bow to anyone again." moment.
I wanna see Starscream obliterate.
I want to see a full scale fight between Megatron and Starcream! That would be great, especially if this movie is supposed to be darker!
If Starscream won. Pref by shooting Megs in the back.
NO, Starscream can't win that fight. I want to see Starscream kill an autobot, and get full of himself. He will soonafter challenge Megatron for leadership. Megatron wins, and is about to kill Starscream, but he lets him live and uses him as an example. They will have a very tense relationship throughout the rest of the movie.
Wow i wasnt aware there was a TF3 in the works lol
Nice !
Too obvious. The death of Megs ! All hail Starscream !
Well, I do want Megatron to die one more time. Just once more, but I don't want it to be by Starscream. If Unicron is in this, I want to see him come back as Galvatron.
You want Unicron to be Galvitron ?
I never saw the animated movie, but didn't Unicron turn Megatron into Galvatron?
Never saw it. Astrotrains addition is all that matters to me.
In the 1986 film Megs is defeated by Optimus (who dies and doesn't come back til much later in the series) and is tossed out of Astrotrain by Starscream. Megs is still functioning when Unicron finds him and forces him to be reformatted into Galvatron. Me, I want Starscream to try to lead a coup against Megatron and have Soundwave kick his ass. I always wanted to see the traitor and the loyalist to fight.
That sounds pretty good. Hopefully in TF3 we go more into Decepticon society, rather than having a bunch of generic Decepticons (Don't get me wrong, I love both movies, but they can definitely be improved, and I'm hoping that this movie does just that).
I hope the twins get killed in the opening minutes. They were my biggest problem with ROTF. I love them both, but damn they got annoying. Also, have Decepticons get kills! Megatron has killed Jazz. A generic killed the Acree bikes.

Yeah, all the Transformers with the exception of Optimus, Bumblebee, and Megatron fade into the background most of the time in these films. They show up in the background fighting battles that you can't really see due to shakey cam and MTV editing, and to stand there and occasionally look cool. It's what disappoints me most... other than the plot holes, Megan Fox's bad acting, and lack of real development on any of the human characters.
Well, though not characterized, you get to recognize some of the autobots. My favorite is probably Ironhide. I hope his (and others) characters are fleshed out more in 3.
Hope to see also more Sideswipe awesomeness. :P
hopeing there'll be sunstreaker
I want to see Mirage, Hound, and Trailbreaker personally.
Mirage also, forgot about him.
Demolishor was wasted unfortunately. I loved his character in the Unicron Trilogy.
Right now, I don't want any new Autobots. Focus on the stories of the ones introduced in the first two movies.
No you didnt ? ???
I want to see Starscream kill an Autobot (please not Ironhide!) for once,. Make him a threat. Then work on his relationship with Megatron.

That'd be good. The relationship b/w the two is never developed and you'd never think they were at each other's throats all the time. At most, we get Megs bitch slapping SS in RotF.

Old news dude. We knew about that 2 months ago at least.
Good riddance. I could smell the condesending attitude through the screen. Christ I cant stand that girl.
I heard that Silverbolt will be appearing in Transformers 3. Is that true?
Hopefully, I would LOVE to see starscream gather up a bunch of rebel decepticons and they all try to attack megatron but he kills them all and severeley damages starscream. But he lets him live and uses him as an example of his might. I would also like to see starscream as an actual threat now. Let him kill ONE autobot. I would like to see him in a duel with ironhide and he kills him. With starscream standing over his corpse. I don't really care for iron hide that much.
I'd rather Bumblebee, hes a pansy. Then Hotshot can become the main Autobot.
Bumblebbe won't die. He's too popular. Hotrod can rust in the scrap heap for all I care. I hate him.
Hell yeah, man, preach it.

Actually, he died in the first movie. When Megatron flicked a guy, that was Bay :D

Can't kill BB, he's Sam's pet. Not to mention the most loved Autobot besides Optimus.
He wasnt before these movies, noone liked him. Hotshot used to be the main character. Optimus even gave him the matrix and he became leader. It'd be a good way to show off a badass new enemy (Astrotrain, Cyclonus, etc.) by killing a character that sucked balls.
I loved Bumblebee! I just hope he talks a little in TF3.

That is a cheap explination. He was fine in the end of the first.
I guess a robot is cutsier when hes silent.
Well, I really like Bumblebee, but he really should talk this time. (And don't think I'm hating on ROTF, because I actually really like the movie. There are just many ways to improve it).
RotF needed a complete overhaul. A few simple changes weren't going to fix that silly mess.
I understand why people hate ROTF, but personally, I love it. the first is better, but ROTF is a very fun movie. I think opinions may go up a little if TF3 is better. Then it may just be looked at as the weaker middle piece of the trilogy.

Another thing I didn't get about ROTF. Why couldn't BB speak?
In a comic tie in, his voice got broken again.
Definitely haven't seen that poster before. When was it released?
I believe today, someone posted them in the TF thread at Tohokingdom.
It was today. It was up on Seibertron this morning.
They made him look a little worse, huh ?
If you mean Bumblebee, yeah, it looks it. The guy has grown a six pack but in his case, it looks like a damaged mid-section :P
It's not a CG redenering though. It's that statue that follows them around to all the conventions. Looks just as bad as it did in 2007.

You should at least rent it. Its not that good to most people, but I found it a fun rife. The first is better, but its a really fun movie.
I say the same.
WOAH! A Poster thing! Awesome! Can't wait for this movie. I see they're keeping the ROTF font with the slanted T and F.
How awesome would it be if we found out its gonna be "18"s ?

Age rating.
Oh. I don't think that would work, considering that the movie is based on toys, cartoons, and comic books. I'm fine with a PG-13.
Some new info on the movie.
http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/102366-new-transformers-3-details
"One thing we're getting rid of is what I call the dorky comedy," Bay added. So the twins, "They're basically gone," he said, though John Turturro returns for comic relief.
The newspaper says the new villain will be Shockwave, "the robot cyclops-turned-laser-cannon, who became dictator of their home world of Cybertron after the other Autobots and Decepticons journeyed to Earth."
Excellent. :)
Amazing! Can't wait to see what Shockwave looks like. Maybe we'll get some battles on Cybertron! I hope Soundwave had a larger role this time! I CANT WAIT!!!
I have to hand it to Bay. He's been listening to harsh fan feedback and adjusting things. Kudos to him.
Damn it! I wanted the twins back so they would get EXMFMPLODED!

I don't think he's really gonna outrank Megatron. I think they might actually be against each other, considering that, in TF3, Shockwave is the dictaor of Cybertron.

I actually like the concept. Still a bit too pointy for my tastes, but not bad.
The vehicle designs are too Megatron-ish.
The design at the top of this page would be insane to see in the film. But going with the head options, I'd go with Number 2, just makes him look sinister as hell.
I could go with 4 or 6.
Insane designs.
Don't like the Vehicle Mode being a Tank, I prefer that Stealth Fighter.
Fo' Heads, 2 is the absolute best. 3 would work for Grimlock if it had 2 eyes :D

Looks neat. Glad he included the purple, I hope Bay is taking notes.
Sadly this movie is dead to me and that happend as soon as they kicked megan fox out ooh well
what a damn shame if you ask me :/
I think the movie is gonna be great. I'm also kinda upset that Megan Fox is gone, but taking her out means more robot characterization and screen time.
One thing I'm hoping for: Galvatron. We all know Megatron only has half a head now, among other missing/damaged parts. He also is not in possession of the allspark (Optimus has it, since its powers are now in the Matrix) Maybe, unless he gets repaired, he can be transformed into Galvatron. This can hint at Unicron, and then Unicron can get a big reveal in TF4.
I think this is meant to be the final movie. And yeah, Galvatron would be good.

Yeah, it is MEANT to be the final movie, but Megatron was also supposed to be dead in ROTF, and the Twins weren't returning in TF3, so anything is possible :P
The writers didn't change his name cause they thought it would confuse people in ROTF. I some how doubt Megatron will now be Galvatron. Also, I hope they don't use Unicron. He seems pointless and would be an absolute nightmare to render.
I kind of agree. I could go without Unicron, I think.
Besides, how do they kill him? The matrix probaly is completly destroyed in the pyramid, so that couldn't work and I don't want them to kill him Deathstar style. Also:
http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-3-james-avery-confirmed-as-silverbolt-voice-actor/18877/
I thought he'd be in it sooner or later. Who's Silverbolt though ?
In the old show he was one of the Aerialbots:

Yeah, but in order to not confuse the audience, the character would be redesigned. Maybe we could see Megatron become Galvatron. And since this is a different continuity, maybe he can become Galvatron by other means, instead of Unicron.
One reason I take issue with Unicron is because when you introduce a character that is so powerful that it forces friend and foe to unite, it almost feels as though you're saying "this is it"; "last of the series" in a way because you're bringing the supremo, ultimate villain that can kill everyone and everything. I just think that the TF franchise can offer so much more in terms of robots and screentime so why end it so soon?

I don't see the point of wasting money to redesign him again though. Just have him make repairs and such. Optimus always is shiny and new looking by the end of the films, so why can't Megatron do the same? Besides, all the kids (and most of the general public) don't know who Galvatron is. I'd rather them leave Galvatron out, mostly because it's pointless to redesign him for one film. After TF3, you just know it'll be rebooted in 2 years anyway.
True about Galvatron. But I hope not about the reboot. I want to see the series go on for a few more movies. TF3 seems like its picking things up a little. Maybe it could go 6 movies, and the final, after all the robots are characterized, can feature Unicron. I really don't want yet another reboot.
And on the topic of TF3, since Shockwave is a villain, I'm hoping for some action scenes taking place on Cybertron.
It'b be cool to see Shockwave and Megatron brawl. Those two have a long history of such great violence. Shockwave almost always does what Starscream can't: beat Megatron.

What history of violence? They never clashed in the cartoon.
In the comics mostly. Shocky is usually as strong or stronger than Megatron and has defeated Megatron on several occasions. In the comics Shockwave hung the corpses of his victims from his ceiling.
http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Shockwave_(G1)
That's...disturbing, actually. Something like that could make for a very creepy Cybertron in this movie.

What do you mean sympathetic? I never really saw him as having any sympathy.
Hanging dead bodies on your ceiling... I was being sarcastic. :P
Oh, ok then. I was just a little confused. But yeah, if Bay wants to make this movie darker, than that is definitely the way to go.
If he wants something dark he should definitely ask to Tim Burton.
And if he wants something more destructive this time he should ask to Roland Emmerich instead.
A Triumvirate with these 3 as the direction of Tf3 = WIN IMHO :P
I think that Bay has proven that he himself can destroy things pretty good :P They won;t let him film in DC :P
Er... DC?
But Emmerich is the only one that made the whole world go boom :P Imagine a Unicron explosion done by him 8)
So bring Emmerich in for part 6 :P
And about Washington DC:

Agreed. And as proven by both Transformers films, Bay is a master of boom. I just hope the robots have a little more personality in part 3.
Yeah. I was a bit disappointed in the characterization in II, and what got characterized was annoying (see Twins). I so wanted to see moar Sideswipe, and mainly, Jolt, which pops out of nothing improvisely. :P

He needs to give it some rhyme and reason though. Dead bodies for the sake of having dead bodies won't add anything to the film besides a little more blood.
Do robots have blood ? ???
Lubricant, whatever :P
They pee, they cry, they spit, i think they have blood :P
Maybe oil like Cyrax and Sektor.
Shia said there would be a LOT more human deaths. So blood is a safe bet.
Yeah, there are gonna be two assassin decepticons who go kill innocent people.
Quote from: Sylizar on Jun 13, 2010, 09:24:41 PM

Since this film will have a darker and more emotional storyline apparently, I'm guessing that the filmmakers are going to push the PG-13 rating like they did with The Dark Knight. So it won't be that bloody. I wonder how bloody it'll be in terms of robot gore?
I've been wondering that too. But keep in mind that Transformers is based on toys and cartoons.
I suppose so, but the fights in Transformers 2 were pretty brutal. Just look at the forest fight between Optimus vs. Megatron and Starscream and Grindor. Red robot oil spilling everywhere.
Yeah, true. I'm just concerned about how there gonna do the human blood with those assassin robots that Bay talked about.
Death does not necessarily equal blood... especially not with the shaky camera Bay likes to use during action sequences. A lot of the human casualties could be implied through the use of bodies cartwheeling through the air after explosions and such.
Thats true. And there could be a lot of offscreen deaths. Man, the Decpeticons are gonna be EVIL in this one!
I love evil ;D
Transformers fights were always brutal since the beginning lol. Look at Optimus Vs. Bonecrusher for example; if it was done by humans that'd be a sure R.
I did like that fight. Bonecrusher kept sreaming weird stuff. Like "ALONE" !!!

I agree with you as well. I liked the first one it was a pretty fun movie with a clear narrative, the second trash. Even the action parts weren't as good as the ones in the first one with the exception of the forest fight. That was awesome. By the way, the robot assassins that everyone seems to be talking about. Are they adapted from the TV series or comic books? Or are they completely original characters?
Original, I think. I can't think of any assassins right now. Probably some of Soundwave's minions.
Thanks for replying. Wonder who how big they are going to be?
No prob. I'm thinking Alice (pretender) sized. They can hide in the crowds, acting like humans.
Are they going to be Pretenders? Because if that is the case I hope the filmmakers elaborate on the Prentenders arc. The Pretender in Transformers 2 just seemed to show up with no emphasis on what it is and why can it transform to a human while the other Transformers cannot. It left us non=transformers fans wondering what the hell was happening...
It'd be cool to see more of them and it would make sense.
Pretenders would make sense. I'm excited to see how this scene turns out!

Pretenders are transformers that have organic shells. Some resemble people, usually (in other continuities) autobots look like humans while decepticons look like monsters. In the movies, however, only the decepticon Alice is shown.
What would be the point of monsters? Whether your a monster or a robot your still going to stick out :P
They were also the size of a regular TF. It really wasn't for hiding. Bludgeon is a famous pretender:
http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Bludgeon_(G1)
And for more on Pretenders:
http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Pretender
I wasn't aware of these. Not sure if I like the idea.
The ones in the film could be like Alice, small and making some sense.
Loved the "Alice" scene in ROTF, it had a very cool Species vibe, especially in the very first part. :D :D
Reminded me more of the T-X from Terminator 3, though I never saw Species.

Possibly, but it was still a huge letdown.
Revenge is not bad. I like it too but there is some real shitty things in it like the twins and the too much "comedy style".
I hope the twins are in 3, but I hope they are toned down a little. And about the *inappropriate* jokes, I didn't like those either. But the movie itself is very enjoyable and rewatchable. Can't wait for 3, which seems like it will be darker and more serious!
Michael Bay says the Twins are not in TF3.

I'm fine with a reasonably sized role, but just tone them down a little. The Twins are a great concept, and they can be made to work.

No sir, I think you pretty much covered the aspects that really killed it. Perhaps if I hear tell that the third movie is more intelligent I will actually pay to see it, otherwise I'll wait until someone gets the DVD.

Don't forget. Resident Evil is not the only franchise he raped. He also raped the Alien and the Predator franchises, remember?
As true as that is, RE:Extinction frustrated me more. Every once and a while I can manage watch AVP. One time my friend suggested we watch RE:Extinction and I punched him. He now makes sure there is a three foot distance between us when discussing that film.
I didn't find Resident Evil: Extinction to be that terrible. For me, I think Resident Evil: Apocalypse was the worse one of the three.
I actually found Apocalypse to be just a tad bit closer to what I wanted, if only because I enjoyed the portrayal of Jill and Carlos. Nemesis got shafted big time though, and it frustrated me that Jill took a back seat behind Alice so often... I guess Apocalypse just tickled a few more of my nerd glands.

Anyways, on the topic of TF3, I think right now I'm interested in seeing how dark bay actually makes the movie.
Dark? That really is a laugh. Darkness usually implies seriousness, which Bay has damn well avoided thus far. Losing the twins or at least downgrading their role is a start, but keeping that annoying ex agent away, killing bumblebee, and stopping the lame slapstick stuff is the only way things will get anywhere near "dark".

Losing the twins or at least downgrading their role is a start, but keeping that annoying ex agent away, killing bumblebee, and stopping the lame slapstick stuff is the only way things will get anywhere near "dark".
Well, Bay said in this one that if a character dies, they stay dead. I think he has plans to kill someone off...
I'm sure it will be one of the random window-dressing Transformers we saw in RotF.
I'd say Starscream, Ratchet, Sideswipe and a couple of others.

Most likely a few of the said window dressings. But I'm hoping Bumblebee will get dead. Real dead. He's always been lame, and will always be lame.
I wonder if Bumblebee will able to talk for once in this film. I mean he did at the end of Transformers but then lost it again in between the two films.
I hope so, but I doubt it.
Anyone else think he sounded like the Arbiter from Halo 2 ?

Don't forget. Resident Evil is not the only franchise he raped. He also raped the Alien and the Predator franchises, remember?
He raped MK too.
No he didn't.
I have yet to see Mortal Kombat.
I found the RE films to be really good instead.

Yeah. The sequel is definitely one of the worst game adaptation movies out there. After the first 20 minutes of the movie, I just turn it off. I couldn't handle all of those crappy dialogues and that crappy storyline. It was too much for me to handle.
Then you missed the Cyrax fight scene. :-\
i couldnt handle the fact that Cyrax had a really shit suit...
It was awesome !

This would be a good design for Unicron.

Fix'd. :D
Actually I like the design, but... it doesn't really summon "Unicron" when I look at it.
This should be his new robot form... and he also becomes the planet we all know and love...
How could that be his robot mode? He looks an anorexic octopus.
I liked it better when he was a space viking.
This is one of the reasons I hate these films. They resemble nothing even close to the original Transformers. The simple blocky design was actually one of the better aesthetic qualities of them. I never wanted to see them "reimagined" so they were then made up of a 500 million moving parts.
Re-designs were needed in some cases. G1 modes would have looked clunky in the movie.
I like this live action look for Unicron

The chances are they will likely do the same. I remember reading they made him into a cloud since that no one who never read the comics would think he would silly and he won't be taken serious as a Planet eater/Comsic being.
he was also a nanite cloud or something in the ultimate version of galactus, not sure if that came before or after the movie though.
"Transformers 3" Opening Scene Revealedhttp://worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=18324&count=0
Spoiler
Opening scene: There's a disturbance on the Moon. A robot shaped disturbance. Scientists on Earth see this and the information gets passed up the chain of command. In the White House men in black suits are breathlessly running through the halls, and they burst into the Oval Office. The president is behind the desk, back turned to the door, looking out the window. One of the men tells the president, 'Sir, something's happened on the Moon!' The president turns around. It's John F. Kennedy.
The opening scene takes place in 1961 or 1962. The story hints that Transformers were involved in the space race, which is why JFK was so eager for America to be first on the moon.
For a second there, I thought that was the Sequel to Predator 3: Vengeance for Wolf.

This remind anyone else of the script leaked not too long ago?
There was a leaked script for this movie already?
Now that you mention it, I think I do remember hearing about something that was sorta similar to this.
Yeah, I think it was about 4 months ago before it was confirmed as a fake. Though from this opening, it sounds like the series is bringing in Unicron...yuck.
That description reminded me of this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIahj8fFiLI
+ Sir... Are you suggesting we blow up the moon...?
Well, I am not looking forward to this crap.
I'm not against the opening. I'm just curious to see where they go with it.
Doesn't work for me. I mean, "something (tranformer) made shit on the moon" and they didn't say anything in 2 movies?
Don't buy it.
Well if it's a new idea, why would they?
They could at least have hinted something in the films.
Maybe none of the Autobots knew about it. Just like they never mentioned the big battle in the beginning of the second movie.
Yeah but in the first film, when the S7 guy talks to the Defense minister, he talks about the sighting on Mars. Why wouldn't he also talk about the Moon accident? This is why i don't buy it, Smells of fake.
Quote from: OmegaZilla on Jul 16, 2010, 08:41:37 PM
They could at least have hinted something in the films.
Why would they if they never planned for it? They never hinted at Devastator in the first film.
Okey. I can buy something happening on the moon.
What I don't buy is the Government knowing it and not telling it in the first two movies. I mean really, not even a hint?
I just told you why not. If it wasn't planned, they won't hint at it.
It would be a plot hole.
If we can avoid another plot hole...
No one is saying Devastator was a plot hole. Why would this be any different?
Something that has never been noticed isn't equal to something that went on the moon with the government noticing.
You really think the Autobots could not have suspected the Decepticons would not build some sort of super robot as a weapon? Really? I find that harder to believe than the government just missing something that landed on the moon.
What?
My point is simply that such big sighting should have been mentioned in the first 2 films.
I didn't read the beginning so I'm not spoiled for the film, but Omega, an answer to your question could be that, with the attack on earth in 2007, the Government felt the need to release some information, so they showed Mars. They still wanted to keep some secrets, such as the Moon.
I really hope megatron gets more screen time and is better used, he was woefully used in ROTF and no offece to prime they made him too unstoppable

And the superhero movies over the last couple of years can hardly be called crap. Not with titles like The Dark Knight, Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk.
Yeah, ID4 was silly, but it's still infinitely better than Transformers...and The Incredible Hulk! 8)
And personally, I don't give a shit about superheroes or comic book movies. It's enough already...but I guess asking for originality from 2000's/2010's Hollywood is like asking for religious tolerance from an Islamic fundamentalist.

technically that shouldn't affect good red/green 3D, any more than it would polarising 3D, since all the image separation happens outside of your eyes, have you ever tried or just assumed it wouldn't work and carried on with your life?
Tried it and it doesn't work mate. But I tried polarised when I was in LA and it worked fine.

fair enough. i wasn't trying to dispute you, but perhaps my understanding of how red/green 3D works is wrong. i was under the assumption that the red lens only lets red light through, and the same with the green lens, so you shouldn't have a problem since it's the lenses letting the light through or not, so nothing to do with your eyes at all. i guess there is more to it than that.
No worries mate :D
From what the optician told me, it's more to do with how my brain interprets what I see more than my eyes themselves. It processes green/red to be the same. Have you ever seen the Ishihara test?

weird, well, it's just as well everywhere uses polarising 3D these days, except current dvd's with a 3D option, (like Coraline) red/green 3D was never very good anyway, it makes everyhting look b/w, so you weren't missing out on much.
Cinema near me still uses red/green :-[
Anywho, we be off topic.

I can see that. I might get tired of giant aliens shooting at me too.
Well, she did show up on set at the beginning, maybe she gets killed off?
She was called Mikaela in that video though. Could just be a mistake of course.

Not exactly. Sam's character was inspired by Spike from G1, hence why they used his surename Witwicky. But they changed alot from the original. The two writers from the first movie mentioned in an interview that they didn't use the name Spike because it sounded unrealistic, but they weren't ruling it out to be used as nickname in future sequels.

Yes. As far as I know, in early drafts (when Arcee was still an actual character) he was called Spike.
oh cool, i did always wonder why the movies didn't actually have the G1 characters, where exactly did the michela character come from anyway?
I think she was inspired by Carly from G1. The scene where Mikaela is impressed by Bumblebee is a reference. I really don't know why they didn't use Carly in the first place? But I'm really glad they're using Carly for Transformers 3.
Pretty much just everyone else said in this thread. I still wish they used Spike for his name, but I think Spike in the G1 series was a much better character IMO
Does anybody know who the Red/Black Rosenbauer Panther firetruck seen on set in Chicago is supposed to be? I've always wanted a firetruck in a Transformer movie and I really hope its Wheeljack. For some reason, I think that in a live action film that should be his alternate form.

She did call him Sparks a few times, I recall
In both films??
No wonder I don't remember.
Any new updates on TF3 since I have not hear anything new on the movie for a while now.
They just keep shooting. Nothing new.
Any new info on a teaser or trailer?

I hope we get a teaser by new years. TF2 was filming from May 08 - November 08, and we got a teaser during the Super Blow.
A trailer with Shockwave please

Looks badass to me
which one is shockwave, and who is the other one?
The one with one eyre is Shockwave.
And the other is Soundwave, I think. The satellite from ROTF.
i hope not, soundwave should have a very neutral face. that face looks way to menacing to be soundwave,
It's Soundwave. He's got a "battle Mask" like Optimus does.

Not a one of those pictures is from the movie, so it's not the final product. Bumblebee's a promo render, Jazz is fanart, Ratchet and Ironhide are early development concept art.

CH: Now, Michael. I want you to be completely honest with me: did you intend on molesting this franchise?
I believe that those design do not have to directly resemble their original counterparts, but they fundamentally have to summon the feel of the original ones. Do they? It's entirely individual. To me, they plain and simple do. I looked at Megatron in 2007, when he was first shown in an internet image or something, and I immediately recognized him even without knowing the design was in fact supposed to be Megatron. When I first seen Blackout, I immediately associated him with Cyclonus. Scorponok and Optimus Prime were already obvious.
Besides the fact that they didn't strictly refer to G1 only when designing the Robots - Megatron's Tank form is clearly taken from Armada, as an example.

that's pretty much what i mean, and the fact that they retain some of their car resemblance when they transform. the can only look so similar when the model of car they transform into is different.
Dude, Bumblebee in the movie looks like a completely different transformer. He really does look like what Huol described on the previous page: car parts jumbled together.
I'm just waiting for them to reveal the real title of the film:

100% Agree
The G1 Designs wouldn't have worked on film. Sure they look great hand drawn, but as a functioning robot it would have been lacking. Not to say the new designs are fantastic, but a new look was needed. I think the designs in WFC did a great job of balancing what we know with something new. Again, these looks probably wouldn't have worked on film though.
Totally agree. WfC nailed the looks perfectly.
The title of the film:
http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-3-title-revealed-the-dark-of-the-moon/19947/
Not sure I like it. :-\
sounds ok to me, i never liked ROTF though
Nah, I don't like it much.
Also, what's WfC? War for Cybertron?
It first reminded me of Wi-Fi Connection.... ::) ;D
I'm not a fan of the title for the movie. I have a feeling it has do something with the moon, and we are going to see themes similar to 2001.
I think the title is kinda cool. Nice change from the expected Revenge of__________ or Return of___________ type of thing. Not the best option, but cool nonetheless.

Of course it has to do with the moon, the beginning of the film is all about the moon, that's where the plot starts.

That's the only thing I don't hate about the Transformers movies. The classic designs just wouldn't look realistic. But at least they were somewhat similar.

I have no problem with any of the cast members. I felt they had great chemistry on film and brought a lighter element to the movie.

Well I don't like Linkin Park since I find the main singer voice annoying, and I'm not a fan of their music if you ask me.

Looks like they are filming the movie in DC. DC is only like two and half hours alway from my house.
Effectively Megan and this Girl which name escapes me are pretty similar... they could simply say Michaela dyed her hair. :D

The Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, are back in action, taking on the evil Decepticons, who are determined to avenge their defeat in 2009's Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. In this new movie, the Autobots and Decepticons become involved in a perilous space race between the U.S. and Russia, and once again human Sam Witwicky has to come to the aid of his robot friends. There's new characters too, including a new villain in the form of Shockwave, a longtime "Transformers" character who rules Cybertron while the Autobots and Decepticons battle it out on Earth.
http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/geekboymovienews/news/?a=24139
Space race eh...why am I hearing "time travel" in my head?
The fake screenplay had them travel back to 1984, but this movie deals with the whole moon landing event back in 1969. This movie is also sated to be take place three years after TF2.
Three years? So it takes place in 2012??? Yep, Michael Bay is gonna blow up the world at the end.
But seriously, can't wait for this!
And the TF will bring about December 12 when their war eclipses mankind.

Transformers 3 Will have More Comedy
http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Destroyer14/news/?a=24201
"What you can expect is more comedy than we've ever had before" di Bonaventura revealed. "You can expect bigger action sequences than we've ever had before and you can expect a different character through-line for our lead because he's a little bit older and Rosie's a little bit older - there's a maturity there that didn't exist before."
"He's moved on to a new stage in his life with a job, and that's an interesting rite of passage, so I think it has the emotional elements that people are expecting of the movie, but they've moved forward in time, if you would."
What this movie need is less comedy and better action. :(

Ok, now that scared me. The second one had way too much comedy.
The one thing I did not like about TF2 was the humor, some of it was funny but it had too much of it.
i agree aswell, the humour was stupid, if they are going to have humour i want it to be more grown up, no toilet humour no robo-testes, no hump-bots.

If its good comedy then fine, but not the ROTF styled comedy (And I really liked ROTF as a movie, but not its comedy style). More action makes me happy, since that is the best part of this franchise.

NO, nonononono. No. Have they learned nothing from the 2nd? If ROTF took itself a bit more seriously, it would have been so much better. I'm going back to the Delusion Bunker(tm). Anyone upset about the alien prequel is free to join me.
I'm still excited for this, I guess I'll just have to tune out some of the stupid jokes again though...

That was actually Bay's idea. The original scripwriter got sick or something and a studio executive must have bumped his head or something, because they let Bay finish writing the script.

Yep, the iron balls idea was Michael Bay's idea. Its on one of the special features on the two disc edition for ROTF. He talks to one of the conceptual desgners about doing a shot where Simmons looks up and sees two iron balls. He thinks that it would get a laugh in theatres. Boy did that work....
Some people did laugh. He got what he wanted but the people watching the film who had a brain realized how stupid it was.

I saw some speculation that this may be fake. I personally can't tell if it is or not, but it looks cool nonetheless. I love the tagline.
Yeah. If it is, it's a good fake. The tagline implies a darker tone, which would be nice.

I agree, Megatron has always been awesome. My favourite's the one from Armada and Cybertron. :D
I agree, Armada had plenty of good characters. Starscream was a really good one, I hated when he was pulverized.

I thought Megs was prett cool in the two movies. Sure, he looked up to The Fallen, but he was sorta like the Darth Vader figure.

I would like some more "Oh shit, it's Megatron! Infamous leader of the Decepticons!"
They should bring Megatron back to full power. I like shockwave as much as anyone, but I dont want to see another Fallen. In the first film, Megatron whooped everyone, ripped Jazz in half and defeated Optimus single-handidly. If it wasn't for Sam Megatron would have the cube and Prime would have been dead. In ROTF Megatron got whopped by optimus with the decepticons to back him up. He only killed Optimus with their help. MAKE MEGATRON BADDASS AGAIN!!!

Why did it surprise you? Prime had taken powers from Jetfire which allowed him to go toe-to-toe with the Fallen. The idea was to soup him up and win the fight.
I was thinking of the forest fight though. Prime still kicked some serious ass before Megatron stabbed him in the back, and that was before he got the parts from Jetfire.
And on that note, is Jetfire dead?

Made a typo by mistake. We did got a teaser of TF2 during the Super Bowl back in 2009, I have a feeling the same thing will happen with TF3.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC08Lx-zkhI
I'm hoping for a trailer during the super bowl. And if Super 8 gets one, too, thats twice the reason to watch!
Only a Unicron teaser could make this more awesome. ;D
Quote from: SpacePredator on Oct 30, 2010, 09:29:06 PM

I'm not expecting Unicron. Maybe for a fourth film, though Bay said 3 was the last one...But then again, Bay wanted a year off. So a fourth can happen :) But Unicron in this one would cram in too many villains.
They might do a 4th movie without Bay.
I know everyone hates Bay, but if they do a fourth, I want him back. I would hate to see a change in directors. But if it happens, it happens.
I would welcome it I'm sick of Bay and his "GO TEAM AMERICA GO!!" attitude this movie is about bloody Transformers. I want someone who will take the lore seriously not just watch the first season of the cartoon and the 80's movie (which is all Bay knows about Transformers, he said it himself).
Anyway third movie is supposed to be darker... Shockwave is in it! (One of my fav characters) so maybe he will get it right this time.
I think if they do a 4th movie then do without Bay since Bay can work on some new fresh projects. I think its depends how the movie ends, maybe a movie set on cybertorn would be cool to see. You can make a TF movie without the humans afterall.

Lol, priceless.
The official placeholder website's up: http://www.transformersmovie.com/ (http://www.transformersmovie.com/)
The logo's pretty cool. :)
Dear god, we're talking about logos. Clearly this movie is to far away for us to talk about it.
Lol, just kidding. I like it.
Michael Bay confirmed that the poster I posted a while back was fake. It was a pretty good fake, though.
So there's nothing official yet? Bummer, I was diggin' it.
I still like the logo. Only two more months before we see a possible teaser trailer.
Hopefully we get one with the SuperBowl again,
Hopefully this movie's good! Lucky enough for me I was in the area when they were shooting here in downtown Chicago over the summer and man was it cool.
Anything interesting other then chase scences and explosions?
Not much really other than seeing some of the main cast filming some stuff.
I know that it is early, but I was watching ROTF yesterday, and it gave me two cool ideas for prequels:
1: Cybertron before the Transformers came to Earth. I really liked the way Bay handled the scene with Megatron returning to Cybertron and talking to The Fallen and Starscream. I have faith in a humanless prequel.
and 2: More of a miniseries about NEST and the Autobots hunting down each of the Decepticons in different continents between 1 and 2.
That wasn't Cybertron.
Quote from: Sso02V on Nov 03, 2010, 02:00:12 AM

It was. It was mentioned to be the dying Cybertron multiple times
If by "multiple times" you mean never.
It wasn't Cybertron. Nobody ever said that.
Where else would he have gone besides Cybertron?
It looked like a planet to me, but we definitely don't know if it was Cybertron or not. We can only assume. To me it was, it looked decayed.

This. Plus, why would the Fallen be on some random planet other than Cybertron.
But whether or not it is Cybertron, I would still like to see a humanless prequel on Cybertron and the other NEST missions.
I think they use a DVD ripping program, I think they might be videos on Youtube that can help you.

Awesome! I loved him in Star Wars and Batman!
He got that information from wikipedia.... ::)
Well it does say "rumour" so it's not official.
While Liam Neeson would be great (almost as good as David Warner) the TF movies haven't really gone the way of big-name celebrity voice actors, so it'd be strange for them to do it now.
i'm excited about this. Liam Neeson is one of my favorite actors and Shockwave is one of my favorite transformers. I hope it's not a rumor.

What the f**k does that have to do with Transformers?
It shows off Wikipedia's accuracy.
QuotePrinciple photography may have completed (aka lead cast completed their work) for Transformers 3, but that doesn't mean filming is finished. According to On Vacation Locations and Inner City Press, Transformers: Dark of the Moon filmed in the General Assembly auditorium on Saturday.
The middle section of the General Assembly hall was full of extras, in suits and native dress, while a camera on a mechanical arm panned the crowd and then the three faux speakers on the rostrum. From the photo booth on the GA's third floor, Inner City Press heard stage directions, saw the vote tally board lit up.
On Vacation Locations mentions that Dame Judi Dench was spotted but I highly doubt it. Based on the description it sounds like part of the "Autobots - Go Home" plot point that is rumored to include Congress making their presence illegal in the States and now seems to include the UN too. Does that mean Transformers get banned from the entire planet? Or maybe it is for the end of the film and the Autobots are given planetary wide amnesty?

It's a bit different when the actor is only doing a voiceover. There's no exclusive focus on him physically being there so the audience isn't going to measure everyone else's acting to his whilst watching the movie.

Liam Neeson as Shockwave? I've always imagined him more of the Optimus Prime type. In fact if I remember correctly, Michael Bay mentioned in the commentary for the first movie that he told the animators to base the body language of Optimus Prime on Liam Neeson.
Plus did anybody else notice the little easter egg in the second movie that hints that Shockwave is going to be in the third movie. It happens during the Devastator vs. Skids & Mudflap fight. While Devastator is sucking up everything in front him, there's shot where Skids and Mudflap are clinging onto a pipe. A newspaper flies onto the pipe and has an image of Shockwave before flying off. Here's the image:

Is this really the last film??

So says Bay. But then again, Megatron wasn't in ROTF, and the Twins won't be in this one, so who knows?
They can do a 4th movie without Bay. I find the TF movies fun to watch even though they are not good movies but still fun to watch.

Exactly how I see them. The story, well, isnt very good :P But they are very enjoyable!
i agree too, and i'd totally be up for bay-less sequels.
Only if they hire Roland Emmerich.

Quote from: OmegaZilla on Nov 17, 2010, 01:12:49 PM

i'd seriously be ok with that.
Funny how Emmerich was the original choice to direct the first movie before Steven Spielberg was the producer of the movie. If Emmerich did direct Transformers then the movie would likely be no different then what we have got.
Emmerich would've focused more on big scale action events. He would've expanded the Cybertron flashback for one, making a lot of TFs smashing each other. Would've made the protopods bigger. Would've made everything bigger.
And of course we would see Megatron's eye before he dies.
i think Emmerich would find some way to completely change it into something almost unrecognizable. Hint hint. ;)
Honestly, I don't hate Godzilla 1998, but I hate Emmerich for making it. Then again, this is Bayformers we're talking about.
I also enjoy the TF movies since its cool and fun to see how they turn this cartoon characters and make them fit into the world that we live in.

And this is different from Bay, how exactly?
Both Bay and Emmerich are both similar from each other since they always make big budget movies, and the characters in the movies that they make are always crap.

But Emmerich characters are always the same, just played by different actors. There's always bound to be a geek with glasses in them, bare 10 000 BC.
Bay is the same way. There's always some guy running around with guns in his hand, one geeky character, and the trust sidekick.
I can't agree or disagree with you because I haven't seen that many Bay directed movies, but the guy running around with a gun in his hand sounds like a Bay envisioned character.
Emmerich at least has a better sense of humour, he makes good use of funny situations, wheras bay relys on gags.
Emmerich said he does not like to make sequels, so TF2-3 would not be made if he was the director.
That, and from what I've seen so far, Emmerich directs action scenes much better in my opinion. They are lot more coherent and you actually see what's happening. In Michael Bay's movies that I've seen so far, while the action scenes are fun and entertaining, they are really hard to make out with the consistent shaky cam and extrem close-ups most of the time, though there have been a few great action shots. Plus the visual effects in Michael Bay's movie looks better than the one in Emmerich movies slightly in my opinion.
Emmerich also said he does not like to direct movies based off of comics, and TV shows. He was ofter to direct Spider-Man, and rumor to direct a Dragon Ball Z movie at one point. So I doubt he would have direct a Transformers movie.

I don't remember TF having close up problems. Any of the battles I recall always had a distant camera, or at least distant enough you could see what was happening.
He certainly would have done some cool camera tricks to make Devastator look more majestic. Also he'd have spent more screen time with it. :P
And OH MY GOD Emmerich's DragonBall. Imagine the epic.

i'm surprised, seeing as he always envisaged Stargate as a trilogy, independence day was based on the original outline for Stargate 2, and he was actually pitching a sequel to MGM a mere 3 or so years ago, obviously it was turned down because the post emmerich/devlin stargate franchise has gone in a completely different direction

Watch the Scorponok scene from the first movie and you'll see what I mean. Sure there are few wide angle shots, but only a few.
The Scorponok scene was the best one Bay has done yet.
The one which could fit the description you've given if you ask me would be Bumblebee vs Rampage and, at times, Optimus Prime vs Fallen in the second flick.
True though that Emmerich lets you enjoy the epicness of his flicks more. Look at how one of the ships comes out of the mist in ID4. It's fantastic. Majestic.

Not really back on 2003 on IGN, Roland Emmerich was said to be a part of this project but he drop out along with Hugh Jackman, who was a part of the project as well. All of the casting stuff like Ray Parks as Vegeta where just rumors. Ben Ramsey who wrote DBE said that his original movie was lot different then what the movie that we have got.

He could've started by giving us a Devastator we'd recognize. Worry then about the camera angles I say.

Hm, bigass robot made of a bunch of construction vehicles, answers to "Devastator", stomps around aimlessly before going down in one hit... Sounds like G1 Devastator to me.
Looking like a retarded gorilla with testicles...not so much.
I thought Devestator looked great, but the entire wrecking ball sequence could have been omitted.
Thought Devastator was awesome. The transformation sequence was great.
And yeah, NA nailed it...
One thing I hope they don't do in this one is generic Decepticons. While I enjoyed the ending battle in ROTF, most of those Decepticons were just randoms...I hope that the Decpticon side of the story is explored a little more this time around.
Both sides need more specific robots, meaning robots with names. No more of the filler crap in RotF.

How was season 2 and beyond? I've only seen season 1.
Quite good. Season 2 was hit and miss. The first half was good because it introduced new Transformers including the Aerialbots and Stunticons, but the second half got boring because of slow stories. Season 3 is good too. It picks up right after the animated film and continues the story with Rodimus and Ultra Magnus.
I haven't seen the animated film either :-[
But I should look into seeing the rest of the stuff. Thanks! :D
Buy the DVD sets. They're pretty cheap.
From what I can remember that Season 3 & 4 deal with Prime, and had him appear in flash backs which is why the series went down hill in the late 80's.

Rated PG? Is this going to be the like second F4 movie all over again?
Both Transformers films were PG-13 rated, don't see the problem here.
Hmmm, honestly, I could be very happy with a PG. As long as they are able to get in all of the over the top robot fights that these movies are know for, maybe the film will drop the sexual jokes.
EDIT: Actually, I still kinda want PG-13, since this one was supposed to be darker...
The darker angle I imagine was dropped as soon as we found out comedy was making a comeback.
Yeah, but if the PG is true, at least we won't have ROTF styled comedy...I really wanted a dark Transformers movie though...
Don't hold your breath.

yeah, but i'm fully expecting some of those moments where if you watch it in 2D you think to yourself "that shot was chosen for 3D and looks stupid in 2D" which happens quite a lot in "gimmick" 3D movies.
3D tickets are usually around 10 euros here in Spain.
Bay confirms that the teaser trailer will be attached to The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (December 10th) and Tron: Legacy (December 17th).

Maybe if 3D cost the same as regular movies I would enjoy it more, but i simply can not see spending all that money for glasses that I'm going to give back... :-\
How much does a ticket for 3D cost you?
Four or five more dollars than standard, so if I were to go on a friday or saturday night, it would cost $13 or $14 compared to the already overpriced $9.
for RealD movies, in the UK anyway, you get to keep the glasses, and the tickets are not much more expensive, £1 i think, however at a different cinema i go to that uses dolby 3D you have to give the glasses back, and it costs about £2 more :(
I wonder how much shit this is gonna catch for not having Megan Fox, the one thing that kept anybody watching TF2.. which I haven't seen! ;D

I watched ROTF for the giant robots beating the shit out of each other.
...and maybe for Megan Fox....
...maybe just a little bit
Some people think this movie is going to make less then the second movie due to the bad rep that TF2 had.
It probably will. TF2 was voted one of the most racists films of 2009.

Yeah, sounds about right. I'll pay it if I think the right movie is using it.

if they eliminate all the crappy so called "comedy relief", the movie has a chance
Narnia 3 comes out this week. I thought the trailer won't be out until Friday?

Transformers fans killed the internet. It happens every time we get a new trailer.
It looked pretty damn cool, definitely better than ROTF. :)
This is the only robot we see in the teaser. Does anyone know who that is?

Wow, it was awesome! Is that Unicron!?! I don't know much about Transformers outside the movies and the first season.
I just watch the teaser, and it was pretty cool. I don't think the teaser was as great as Bay hype it up to be.

Unicron would probably be much bigger.
good teaser, but was hoping they would show actual footage to see if the Witwicky family "comedy" was removed from this movie.
Hopefully Bay was telling the truth when he said this one would be more serious

oh, sorry, my bad ^^;
I hadn't seen the set pics in a while, I was judging solely by the mustache.
Lookin good. Better then ROTF.
It looks good, sort of on a more serious tone.
But then again, ROTF's teaser looked the exact same way.
I hope the comedy is toned down a lot, I love to laugh and all, but I don't want fart and sex jokes every 5 minutes.
I remember bay saying the visuals are 80% done. I wonder what the teaser looks like in 3D?
Humping dogs, humping robots, Devastator's balls...
And to top that off, Sam's mother all together.
The trailer looks really good. I actually got chills from it.

There could be a whole backstory for him being that size. Like he got blown up again. :D
Maybe its not his full body? When they found that ship on the moon, I had 2001 chills when watching the trailer.
For some odd reason, the ship interior actually reminded me of the egg chamber in Alien.

I'd hope so. I guess the tradeoff for taking out a shitty but hot "act"ress is also losing something to look at when your eyes aren't being molested with hot metal and explosions.
I wonder how they are gonna write her off without even an appearance.
She dumped him, apparently.
That, and Megan compared Bay to Hitler.
The new girl is hot too though, and who knows, maybe she can actually act :P
The Robot seen on the moon might be Alpha Trion.

That's what happened with Tricia Helfer for Battlestar Galactica, but she turned out to provide the show with quite a damned good breakout performance, and became progressively excellent as it went on.

Once in a while occurrence. And this is Michael Bay we are talking about. Does anyone believe he hired her because she is actually good?
Her resume is worse than Fox's, honestly. I mean, just look at it.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2492819/ (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2492819/)
For me, her resume is located on her body. Doom, if there is anybody else on this site that could agree with me on that, I'm sure it's you.
Probably going to drag the movie down to the abyss though.
Well yeah :P
At least Fox and Helfer were attempting acting careers when they were hired. This chick is just some Victoria's Secret model Bay met when he directed their commercials.
I'll bet the convo went down something like this:
Bay: "Want to be in a movie?"
Rosie: "Sure."
Instant box office sensation.
And I love how they just write Fox's character out. Guess all that "I love you" melodrama in ROTF meant nothing. God I hate it when series do that.
I heard that she did a line read with Shia LeBeouf.
In her underwear, though.
Hey, Fox only got the job because her screen test was washing Bay's car. True story.
Yeah, I'll wait for reviews to tell me that it was a large improvement over RotF to
consider seeing this one.

In the cartoon he is. Remember this is a Michael Bay movie, Does Megatron look like the G1 verison? does wheelie? Starscreem? well all but Prime dont look like the G1 transformers, and why the hell would it be Alpha Trion? He's not very iconic IMO. Trust me that is Unicron.
Neither was The Fallen since no one outside the fanbase knew who he was. It looks like Alpha Trion anyways, and I'm pretty sure its him.

What's icon status got to do with it? Bay brought in Transformers that never existed in the first place, i.e. Barricade and Blackout.

Um, no. We have multiple Barricade (http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Barricade)s and Blackout (http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Blackout)s in prior continuities. Undeniable that all those characters are different, but then again so are for example Sideswipe, Demolishor and Sideways.

He has an uncanny resemblance to Optimus Prime. Its rumoured that the fire-truck thats been spotted is Sentinel Prime, Optimus Prime's father. So I'd say its him.
Alpha Trion is who it is.
Did anyone else got 2001 vibes when watching the teaser other then me?
It reminded me very much of Alien, when the crew enters the derelict.

Unicron is bigger then the moon.
In the cartoon he is. Remember this is a Michael Bay movie, Does Megatron look like the G1 verison? does wheelie? Starscreem? well all but Prime dont look like the G1 transformers, and why the hell would it be Alpha Trion? He's not very iconic IMO. Trust me that is Unicron.
What's icon status got to do with it? Bay brought in Transformers that never existed in the first place, i.e. Barricade and Blackout.
Erm a lot lol.
Not really...From what I heard, Bay took very minor robots and made them into big characters in his films. (Well, characters isn't the best word. Bay didn't characterize many of the robots :P Oh well, at least the films are enjoyable.)

Um, no. We have multiple Barricade (http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Barricade)s and Blackout (http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Blackout)s in prior continuities. Undeniable that all those characters are different, but then again so are for example Sideswipe, Demolishor and Sideways.
Never heard of them until now. But if they weren't in the cartoon, they probably weren't too popular.
The recent Transformers Prime animated series was better than the first movies =P ... enjoyed that immensily... cant see this third film being any better.

They
were in the cartoons. :P
When?
Did you click the links I posted?
It says they were in the comics, not the show.
Um, no.
Barricade and Blackout are parts of Bruticus Maximus in Energon. Blackout is also a minicon (not a chopper, but still).
It's not like the Films draw from G1 and nothing else.
The Fallen was not in the cartoon series neither?
Yips. Appeared in a pair of issues of "The War Within". His origin and characterization are pretty much the same as those of the movie I think.

I do to, seems very different from the first two. However, it's important to remember the first two had very interesting teasers that had little to do with the plot. We'll have to wait and see.
I have no doubts this film will be just like the other two. Alot of fun so long as you shove all the plotholes, cliches and corny jokes aside. This trailer most likely looks like its either going to be some kind of an opening for the film, or perhaps a flashback that reveals the story behind whats been going on. Im going for the opening of the movie because they did the same kind of thing with the reveal of Blackout from the first films opening.

While I do hope it is a bit more serious, I didn't have a problem with the jokes in the others (maybe a bit in ROTF). Transformers was never super serious to begin with. It needs to have some light heartedness to it, just a little less than before.

I agree with you.
Alpha Trion,the beard gives it away :P
Wouldn't it be something if Bay decided to include Trypticon and Metroplex in a new film...I think they look f**king incredible on the big screen but I'm sure he'd screw them up somehow.
Whoever that Transformer is, it's definitely not a Decepticon, because when the eye lights up, it has a blue color, not red.
Jetfire disagrees with your rules of faction eye-colours.

Could be an Autobot-turned-Decepticon.
Not much chance of that at all, but still the rule doesn't stick.
Upon rewatching this trailer:

:06 - Orange lens flare.
:10 - Blue lens flare.
:22 - Blue lens flare.
:27 - Blue lens flare.

:34 to 1:37 - Blue and orange lights, but less flaring because it's the quiet part, see.
1:38 - Blue lens flare.
1:47 - Blue lens flare.
1:50 - Are those blue and orange lens flares coming from the same light source?
2:16 - Blue lens flare.
2:19 - Blue lens flare.
2:20 - Blue lens flare, continues through three screens of text.
My...EYES!
Hmm, so this movie wile have all of the blue tint (and more) that Terminator Salvation didn't have (though I have to admit, I did like Salvation's faded look).
I want my film to have colour, not be gray scale the entire way through. f**k Salvation.

Trailer looks good, not too keen on the overly organic beard-face on that TF at the end though, I have to admit. When the inevitable reboot occurs, the new team should definitely look to War For Cybertron for a general design direction.

Too bad the IMAX version of TL did not play the trailer.
I like how Megatron's prototype toy has this... shredded eye. Nice touch, makes the whole thing more menacing.
Not sure about the new vehicle mode... when I've first seen the truck I thought immediately of Scourge.... but it's actually Megatron. I always link Megatron to bellic weapons, something menacing, something imposing... a LOOKIMMAFULLOFMUD truck doesn't quite do the job IMHO. But I guess I'll have to see, since I don't know the story of the flick at all.
His design looks like a mix of his two previous ones.
I like his design. The truck is cool, but in the movieverse, I'm more used to seeing his vehicles more Cybertronian. It does look cool though. I can't wait to see it in action.
Not really sure Megs needs a realistic vehicle mode considering he doesn't care too much about being in disguise. He just f**ks shit up when he wants something done.

Yeah, I really liked his design in ROTF.
I liked how his first two alternate modes are a reference to the Jetmode in RID and the Tank in Armada, respectively. Just lovely, and to think of it, Megatron from Armada is my favourite design closely preceded by Beast Wars'.

I don't think its as bad as fans are making it out to be. I'm pretty sure it will look better on film.
Oh, Fans always have to whine.
I especially like the shredded eye on that design. And the cannon. Very G1 ish.
Yeah it does have that G1ish look it to when I first saw it.
I think Transformers fans have the right to whine about Michael Bay's BS, whatever it may be. Could even be the existence of these movies that sets em' off.
Of course my good old Sweeper.
Museums. With countless webs hanging off 'em. Nothing else. Following the "logic" of those fans, everything should be like G1. New things are slimy evil. New things are to be bashed.
I could make you countless other examples of this from different franchises.
I am a Transformers fan since young age. Started with Beast Wars and got hooked. Yet I don't boggle my mind with those details. I understand that the f**king thing is a reconception, remake, reimagination. The words all speak for themselves. Reimagination means something new. Megatron doesn't turn into a gun. And that's.... blasphemous?
Internet RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE.
Never implied it was intentional of Bay to make fans disgusted- he just did it and persisted to do so.
And really, the first part of that post was next to unreadable because inbetween unnecessary italics, multiple exclaimation/question marks, wonky examples, and strange focus jumps (Ian Malcolm is that you?), one really loses interest.

These Transformers films are neither good Transformers films nor good films at all. I'm not even a fan of the series in general, yet you speak as if I am one. Yet, I know enough about the franchise to know what is good and what is just plain stupid. I don't have Bay by the noose, waiting to hang him and harvest his organs (to bring it to your overly dramatic level). You can substitute reality, Omega, as you always do, but that won't make everybody suddenly believe these are good movies- they're already too bogged down by random and excessive explosions, horrible cinematography, shameless shots of Megan Fox in ridiculous poses (and dumping her in the sluttiest attire possible so that Bay can whack off in editing), horrible pacing (however, much better in the first movie), shit-grade acting, and absolutely god-awful "humor".

You can stop pinpointing single facts- there are far more than that, and you know it. Selecting a single fact (especially one so petty) only makes their complaints seem insignificant, when really, they are numerous.

The first Transformers movie was a good popcorn flick, and a fun disataer movie. I like the second movie better when it comes to action, but the first movie is overall a better movie.

That's not your old age kicking in either- that's what it was like for
everybody who wasn't viewing it on PCP. Same with the first one as well. The sloppy quick cuts were f**king painful.
The problem with the action in the second one is that it had too many random robots IMO. If you're going to bring in new robots, then at least give them a name so we can feel for them.
The issue with some many robots in the second movie that you had no idea who they where unless you where a hardcore fan or you look it up on Google.
That too. Bay needs less filler. But it's the same problem he has with every movie. Because he still hasn't learned how to tell a proper story, he just throws all the action he can in front of the camera in the hopes that no one will notice. Or at least, not care...too much.

Probably the "main" villain in the sense that the Fallen was the "main" villain of ROTF.

I would rather see Megs above him, but he tries to revolt against him (something Megs should have done to the Fallen in the last film)
Sounds good to me.

I totally agree with the whole post.
Or it's possible they finish off Megs in the beginning or mid-point of the film...
You can't kill off Megs for good. That would be like killing Jim Gordon. The character is essential to the story.
Megatron didn't appear until the end of the original and in the sequel, his character was disappointing. Ruthless Decepticon leader turned into bash-around henchman.

Megatron should be a very davasatating enemy in the 3rd, with offcourse that other dude being secondary most dangerous whats his name? sound wave? Megatron should be double crossed by his own minions then get them back. At the end assuming the 3rd is the last Megatron is defeated finaly by Aptimus Prime.

Spoiler
his alternate mode is said to be an armored rusty Mack Titan 10-wheeler tank truck equipped with heavy weaponry and a tarp which may be used as a cape in robot form to hide half of his face that was torn apart by Optimus in the end of the last movie. He has been described as the demented version of Optimus Prime's vehicle mode
WOW! that is awsome!
Looks great, although I loved the tank idea, this could work if it has some badass weapons attached.
IMHO the first instalment of Transformers was mediocre at best, the robots as realised were stunning in conception, although at first I didn't like the fact that Michael Bay didn't stick to the classic style of the robot designs, because I was an avid fan of the original cartoon series when I was young. I did understand that it was the 2000s and not the 1980s so their covert modes would obviously be up to date representations and the new designs grew on me.
The story itself was ok but I felt the plot was too convenient, although I don't know if it was based on passed stories- cartoon or comic. I don't think Michael Bay intended to make a film that could have realised all the now adult fans of the cartoons expectations that would have made the film awesome. What he did was churn out a franchise that was disappointing to the fans of the original series. I don't know if it was the script writers fault or Michael Bay's, probably both.
The second instalment was even worse, with a very poor story, which I thought was flawed from the start. What the hell Michael Bay was thinking when he authorised the design for Devastator! I'll never know. An ape that sucks things up? A ridiculous idea, he should have stuck with the original concept of a giant robot like in the animated movie. The Twins- enough said, making Jetfire old was stupid as well.
I agree with what has been said previously in regards to the action scenes being "hard to follow", even on a 50in screen the robots fill the screen too much and there's too much going on.
To make these films any good would have necessitated a much better story and more foresightedness and interest in the conception than is the case. The Transformers franchise was flawed from the start, with Michael Bay directing and the poor scripts it didn't have a chance.
I'm not looking forward to the third instalment, I won't watch it in the cinema or buy the DVD's.
Regarding the first's story being "convenient", well... so was Armada's for example. All you have to do is to use a pretest to put humans in the story. You can't have a film that features Transformers only. You have to put humans in. How can you put humans in? In countless ways... and no matter how, everyone of them would be "forced" or "convenient". The plot wasn't any kind of worse than the former stories of the series - nor better nor worse, it could be put as a series without much of a problem.
I also don't see what's wrong with Devastator being how he is. He has outright the same role as his every former incarnation, alas smashing things out in a way or the other. He doesn't do much as a character - he is simply the Powerhouse of the Decepticons (the fact that they take him down that easily is another story... :P). Jetfire is partly loyal to his former incarnations if not for aspect, for his biography. He was a Decepticon that all of a sudden turned on the Autobots' side. Okey, he's old and stuff, but virtually none of the characters in the Transformers films are equal in every way as in their cartoon counterparts. They are a mixture of various series and add a bit of their own. They're a reconception. Much like the characters themselves changed and shifted (hurr) throughout the series. Look at G1 Jetfire, then at Armada Jetfire. Or at G1 Megatron and Beast Wars Megatron. They're different as well.
This post may make it seem like I am not a Transformers fan and I can understand why, but I assure I am a Transformers fan since young age. Beast Wars be the shit.
Transformers was one of the first franchises I loved as a child and I pretty much grew up collecting the figures from when I was bearly 3 years old.
I find it funny that fans of G1 complain about the story of the film. Has anyone actually seen the first series of the cartoon? It is literally an excuse to get American kids hooked on Japanese toys. There is no story. Decepticons harvest energon, autobots interfere, looks like the decepticons are winning, autobots make a comeback, decepticons retreeaaaatttt. Repeat as necessary.
As for the designs, I would have walked out if Megatron transformed from a 30 foot robot into a little pistol for starscream to shoot. Some things are great in cartoons but would look terrible if made to look realistic in a movie. Wolverine would have sucked in yellow spandex just as a lot of the designs would have failed on the big screen. I for one am really excited for Transformers 3 although I'm a bit upset knowing that Megatron will likely be killed off at the end :'(
I have a feeling after Shockwave is destroyed, both races will be in peace meaning that Megatron will not be killed off.
Will be in pace?
I mean "piece", still trying to wake myself up. I hope they don't kill off Megatron since I love Megatron since I was four years old.
Again, in piece? "Both races will be in piece" doesn't make sense.
In piece as they both get along. I doubt they will kill off Sam as well.
Ah, in peace?
I will be piss off if they killed off Megatron. Prime's death in TF2 was so akward and its not like his death in the G1 movie where his death mean something.
They can't end up in peace. This is Michael Bay's (REPEAT: MICHAEL BAY!) last Transformers film. Its obvious that the world will explode in a giant explosion at the end. :P
I wonder if this movie will have bigger destruction then "2012" (2009)?

I don't think Unicron will be in this. Maybe we'll hear about him (or get a cliffhanger ending) and that's it. I could be wrong though. :P
I doubt Unicron is in the movie universe as well. Adding him would screw up the whole TF universe since Unicron is the same character in the G1 series, and the Unicron series.

It wouldn't screw up the universe, as this is a different continuity. King Ghidorah was a villain in every Godzilla movie, and then was a hero in GMK, as an example.
That's different since they are have no link with each other. It was pretty much stated that Unicron is the same character in the G1 series, and the Unicron series. There is only one Unicron and Primus in the TF Multiverse.

Bingo.
We have a lot of characters that haven't their original personality.
Striking examples - Demolishor and Sideways.
I was a bit disappointed they underused Sideways... back in the day he was my favourite villain. Demolishor too. I liked him really much in the Unicron trilogy.
Was Sideways the one in the start of ROTF?
If Unicron does appear I hope it's similar to the UT one. He was so cool.

Shame. He was an interesting character in Armada, but not so much Cybertron.
What was he like in the cartoons? Full of himself like in ROTF? Because I liked him in ROTF, though he was seriously underdeveloped, just like every robot that isn't Opimus, Bumblebee, Megatron, or Starscream.
I'd say Starscream was underdeveloped in the movies. He gets a few lines in both movies, one brief scene in the first movie and after Megs flies back to

He still had more development than many of the other TFs, and he is memorable. THe one that I really want to see developed more is Ironhide. He was my favorite in the two films.
Not really. One decent scene where he takes out Ironhide and Ratchet doesn't equate to memorability; to me, anyway.

I think the main reason I remember him is probably because of the scene where Megatron whacks him with his own arm :P
Lol, yeah that was fun. But as I said, that scene plus his final bit of dialogue at the end after the Fallen is destroyed isn't much for such a major character.
To be fair, I've always felt that the Autobots were decently developed in Transformers (2007) but that went downhill in the sequel. Ironhide and Ratchet barely did anything, Arcee was hardly seen and had only two lines, Sideswipe got a decent amount of screentime but only had five lines and Jolt was such a disposable character. They should have spent more time focusing on these characters than the twins and Wheelie. I was impressed with Optimus Prime and Jetfire though. Hope we see more characterisations like theirs in the sequel.
I just hope Bay keeps the number of Autobots and Decepticons down to a minimum. I think he did pretty good with 5 Autobots in the first film. They each had some dialogue and action and it was great. As much as I would love to see all of the characters in the film appear It just wouldn't work out seeing as how in ROTF Bay just had dozens of robots running around and you don't even know what any of them looked like or who they were. 70% of the robots didn't even have a line in the movie.
I didn't mind starscream having minimal lines in the first one. He had plenty of presence throughout the film.
One scene. And it was over in less than 30 seconds.
Multiple scenes.
I still think him going under the bridge, transforming and landing on it is one of the best shots in the entire film. Or when he fights those Jets in mid-air. Total kick-ass.

That, and the ROTF arm-whack :P
And again, that scene is nothing to write home about. He gets what, 20 seconds of screen time and I'm pretty sure we don't see him again until the end when he tells Megs even cowards sometimes need to retreat.

Yeah, I know. Definitely underused, which is really a shame, considering he was one of the few Decepticons that actually got a speaking role, as minor as it is.

Oh. Nice scene as well. But again, my point is given Starscream's status in the TF universe he was severely underused.
That's why I hope he has a big part in the third. Maybe he can get to talk to humans, rather than just spit on Sam ::)

The scene where he took out the fighter jets was the best. I also love that he (probably) joined them in their attack against Megatron seconds later. :D

Yeah. The first had a hint with the "You fail me yet again" line, the second had the arm-whacking, hopefully DotM has a full blown fight.
Seeing him cower like a bitch in RotF before Megs whacks him was dumb. He was never afraid to go toe-to-toe with Megs in the cartoon. Sure, he would eventually say "sorry, sorry" and such but he'd argue like crazy first.
Well f**k me running with a sand lubricant on my balls, I thought you guys were talking about why Megan Fox's ("Megs" as I thought you guys were referring to her as) character would break up with Shia LaBitch's character in this third movie. My reasons:

Eh, it was good to have but there was so much more in the cartoon. Too much material to go unused.
Dude, the cartoon was a huge series spawning through a buttload of episodes. Put it together in two hours, while giving attention to other things ain't easy.
Not all the material needs to be used. All I'm asking is for is some conflict between both characters. Not just 'scream being Megs' bitch the whole time.
Looks like the yellow bot might be Sentinel Prime:

Never heard of him. Really hope it's Unicron though.
Sentinel in more of a comic guy, like The Fallen. Also, he's yellow.

You're probably right, but Shockwave has killed Megs before. Also, some new trailer stuff:

Awesome! Can't wait for the trailers!
I'll be seeing this.
I can say I probably won't like it too much though.
But I'm a minor TF fan so I'll check it out, hoping that it will deliver the fun that the first film did.

Based on the first trailer, it seems that it will be better than the second movie. If for nothing else, I will be able to make a Transformers trilogy music video when it comes out :P
I can't wait to see what The Asylum will call their 3rd Transmorphers movie to cash on their Transmorphers movies. Hard to believe the second Transmorphers movie got a Blu-Ray release.

They have embraced camp value for their flicks, giving bad CG, bad acting and bad writing center stage. In other words, their movies are great laughs.
Maybe because their Monster movies sell well. "Mega Shark Versus Crocosaurus" (2010) had a TV spot during the Superbowl back in 2010.

they can afford a commercial? Let alone a super bowl one???
Because their last Monster movie before it, had a lot of internet hype and sold great on DVD. They know how to make movies. I can't believe they did not make knock off of "Predators", "Tron Legacy", "Alice in Wonderland '010", "Clash of the Titans '010", "Dragon Ball Evoultion", and "Avatar".
I will be looking forward to their Godzilla knock off in 2012 :P.

Can't wait to finally get a glimpse of Shockwave for real, probably my favourite TF character after Soundwave.
Just please no jokes about his balls or having him taken out by a random rail gun that came out of nowhere. ::)

To be honest, I really didn't see any racism. I see where people could interpret it that way after reading arguments on both sides, but I do not feel that it was intended.
As for over the top, yes, they were over the top and annoying, and could have been taken out in order to give more important bots characterization (like my favorite, Ironhide). I didn't like them, but I didn't mind them.
It was definitely intended, you don't make autobots act and talk like typical stereotypes, and then overdo it with them not being able to read, or have gold teeth. It was ridiculous.

Besides the eye damaging visuals, this was the worst thing about the movie.
Yeah, that final fight it was almost impossible to tell who was who or what was what.
The forest fight was amazing, though. Even though I prefer the first movie, the forest fight was the best scene of the two.
Yeah, the forest fight was awesome as hell. I also liked the final fight scene, only because once Optimus was all roided up, he just went at those guys and destroyed them without hesitation, which is what should always happen whenever a powerful character is on screen, if he or she can f**k your shit up, then they need to f**k your shit up without hesitation.
The forest fight was the best part of ROTF. Optimus just going nuts on the Decepticons and ripping them apart. ;D

Don't see why there'd be a rule against that. He is the current president so where's the harm in it?
I remember reading something similar.
Any rationale behind it?

ancient Cybertronian.
Can you read sanskrit? Does not being able to read sanskrit make you an ignorant stereotype?
When you add multiple stereotypes about black people into two characters, having them not being able to read is another big stereotype of blacks that went too far.

Besides, the twins just flat out say that they can't read in general.

I didn't really think they were racist, I just thought they were annoying as f**k.
How can't you see it? Caricature versions of black people, complete with freaking Ebonics is ridiculous. Those are the two worst points of the stereotypes those two portrayed.
I see it in hindsight, but as I was watching I was just too f**king irritated by the characters and insulted by the plot to notice the racist stereotypes.
I see. Well, it was twice as annoying for me since the racism was just over the top.
I didn't take the movie seriously at all. Hell, I wasn't paying attention to the plot or dialogue at all - there were explosions, man! Then again, I was also drunk.

Did you watch your own video? They clearly say they don't do
much reading. On top of that, they immediately recognize it as ancient Cybertronian. So now on top of people who can't read ancient dead languages, people who aren't frequent readers are also ignorant stereotypes!
Yet they can't even be bothered to try and read it.
I don't even know what you're trying to argue against, really. My whole point of the entire matter is that it's all racist.

Hope you can read it, 'cause if you can't then it means you're illiterate, and probably a racist stereotype.
That doesn't mean much when the entire character is full of stereotypes. It wouldn't be much of a problem if the autobot itself was like any other, say, Optimus Prime. But when you have a walking caricature of a black person and all its stereotypes, and add the line about not reading, that's when it gets to be too damn much than it already has.
"Hope you can read it, 'cause if you can't then it means you're illiterate, and probably a racist stereotype."

Guys, enough now.
This reminds me of when I heard that the Gremlins from the homonim film were a substitute metaphor for Black people invading the United States.
I simply don't care as I don't see any racism behind both the Gremlins and the two guys in ROTF. I only find the latters moderately annoying.
Gremlins makes absolutely no sense. I can at least see some logic behind people saying it about TF, but not at all in Gremlins.

Although it will unlikely appear in the Transformers: Dark of the Moon, I would really like to see this Transformer onscreen. He was supposed to be Transformers Revenge of the Fallen as Autobot Springer, but because of the writers' strike he never made it.

Eh, not diggin this. Looks like sharp edges with a head, really. This is why I'm not big on Bay's designs. The TFs look so odd and...I dunno, jagged-dy.
I think its the legs. Too skinny, and the backwards knee looks awkward.

First look at Shockwave:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCnKWbetUIY# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCnKWbetUIY#)
terrible looking toy imo... will look better on the screen.... (i hope).. i do like that it sticks fairly close to the original design and toy.. Purple? Check. Cable linking the big gun to the body? Check. One Red Eye? Check!
Toys desgins for the movie end up being legit. Look at Deadpool in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" (2009) for example.
i know that :) i'm not doubting that this will be fairly close to the movie ;) (i do hope the vehicle mode is mistransformed though)
that looks shit.
what the f**k is that vehicle mode supposed to be?
It looks OK, but the vehicle mode looks disappointing. I bet that he will b like The Fallen and we will never see him Transform.
Meh...I guess that this movie is just going to be more dumb fun like the first two. Not even going to expect a solid story this time around. Still, I can't wait.

Still not digging a lot of what is used in the Robot mode, it's still too clunky to me, may be the Voyager Figure (heh, so was Optimus Prime and his Godzilla feet). But the Vehicle mode looks sweet.

If that's Laserbeak, he's on serious robot 'roids.
F*** YES!
Ironhide driving headi on into 2 Deceptiocn Dreads? FREAKIN WIN!!
Nice tv spot it kinda gave me a Skyline/Battle LA sorta vibe what with those massive Deception ships blowing the city up and people running for their lives,. Lazerbeak is pure awesomesauce! Now if only they would unveil Shockwave already!
My god, that chick's lips. That's Fox's replacement?
Epic spot. I creamed my pants.

I think this will be EPIC regardless of the shitty storyline it is expected to have.

Wow, im actually pretty excited by that! Except for the slo-motion chick amongst explosions. What is Bay's obsession with that?
Not sure dude, but I'm also not sure why they got a chick that looks like her favorite pasttime is sticking needles in her lips as a replacement for Megan Fox (don't care how little talent she has, she's
hot) in said scenes.
Seriously, is that Joan Rivers' daughter? Jesusf**k.
looks explodey, and also explodingy.
edit: i almost forgot, explosiony.

...this, as I agree with you both. Can't believe I am saying this, but I prefer Megan Fox over this one. From the trailer the difference in 'acting talent' doesn't seem to be too great. /Sarcasm
I'd take Megan Fox over the new chick any day of the week.
Meh, I don't mind. I would have rather had Fox for "story's" sake ( ;D ), but meh, whatever.
I never like Fox's character in the past two movies.
Forget about the chick. THIS LOOKS AWESOME. :D
I just realized that was Ironhide smashing through two robots. Now that is a great way to make my favoritism Autobot even cooler. And I think I tend to prefer the animal Decepticons. I loved Scorponock and Ravage, and that dragon looks great!
EDIT: Soo, is Leo in this or not?

From you, of all people, this comes as a major shock.
I don't know much about her background. She's gotta be better than Fox at least.
Seeing as Fox is an actual actress, and this chick is a Victoria's Secret model with absolutely no experience, I'm betting no. And it's quite a feat to be worse than Megan Fox.

Transformers is the first movie she's been in, so I very much doubt that. Not to mention that she actually looks more plastic than Fox ever did.

I'm assuming that he still has Jetfire's parts.
If he does, then Optimus is going to be a f**king monster in this movie. I hope he is exactly like he was in the last scene in RoTF: No bullshit-I will f**k your shit up- badass.
Yep. And this time, if Megs dies, I want Optimus to do it. He already got killed by megs once, he needs his Revenge.
The wings are part of his new design. He has a trailer in this film, and it transforms into those big wings.

Liked it better. The Fallen is getting the snot beat out of him and tries to get Megatron to help him. Megs sneers, says how weak he is and leaves The Fallen to his fate.
I like that more than what we got in the movie...
Why didn't that make it on screen? It would have required little change at all.
I'm not sure. There were a ton of changes from script to screen:

Jokes... I like it to. I think Animated is the real abomination.
I enjoyed 2's action, but hated the lack of story, developed characters, and logic.
The forest battle's the best scene from both movies hands down. Gorgeous to watch on an IMAX screen too.
I liked Transformers 2 as well. It wasn't as good as the first one with the incoherent story, poor acting and dialogue but it was decent. I liked the action scenes as well, but some of them were too short. For example the Optimus Prime & Ironhide vs. Demolisher fight scene. It was epic in scale and had some good shots but it felt so short. It had such a big setup and then it ends abruptly.

...I saw it 5 times...so worth it just to see shit blow up :D
I has a seizure just for seeing the eye rape that movie sent out, and it was bootleg, so you can imagine how eye crazy it was.

Is it me or Starscream really got drastically smaller?
And Rosie is still fugly.
That was nice.
Rosie looks OK, to me, but she's still not as hot as Megan Fox though.

This.
Like in the trailer when Shia is saying "It's gonna be OK, I promise" I thought she looked good, but then later when she is staring upwards her face looked really puffy and not so great.

Pretty cool. I like how the cars can have just guns sticking out of them without fully Transforming.

Yeah, that's the bad one I'm talking about. I mean, what happened? I've seen other pictures of her and she looks better than that.
What have you done Michael Bay?
Is she supposed to be playing Mikaela or is it a new character. The idea of a new character just seems stupid and id much rather her just be the same one simply played by another actor. It happens all the time and it doesnt necessarily have too much of an effect on the movie itself, look at Rachel in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.
It's a new character, called Carly.
Urggggh. So they establish in two films that Sam and Mikaela are madly in love and will do anything for each other, risking life and death and then what? Theres going to be some kind of comment from Sam's mother about how he's going to have to get over his "offscreen, in between films" break up and then he meets Carly. Pathetic. Michael Bay is an idiot.
Hard for Bay to do anything else if Megan Fox wants nothing to do with the movie.
Yeah, this is the one time I can't really fault Bay. Sure he could have recast the role, but then people would complain OMG TEH HOTTEST GURL EVA WAS FIRED AND REPLACED! I R NOT GONNA WATCH!

I heard Fox came in kinda normal looking, but Bay wanted her to be tan like in the last one and then.... they battled I guess, then she left.

That's what the whole thing was over???
Seems like Bay and Fox didn't get along at all. She called him Hitler in a interview for example.

Have somebody else play the Mikaela character. As ive already said audiences understand you cant always get the same actors for whatever reason. Having a new actress come in and play Rachel in The Dark Knight worked well enough. Bullshit about fans complaining. Theyre still going to complain that Megan Fox isnt in it, only now its even worse because the entire character is being written out. Dye that chicks hair brown and call her Mikaela, f**king hell how hard is that.

How the f**k you manage this, Bay?
Every other time I've seen her she's been hot as. Then this movie and ... God damn.
I dont even know who she is. ???
Has he plucked another stunning but shit actress out of nowhere just like Megan Fox?

She's not an actress, she's a model. This is her first movie.
Great casting, Bay...
She looked kinda weird even before Transformers. :-\

Knowing Bay, she'll end up as a Pretender, too.

I didn't mind it in ROTF, but I feel that it could get repetitive.
unless its handled really creatively. Like, if at the end, and Megan Fox Pretender comes to convince Sam so allow himself to be captured by the Decepticons. It looks like her to mess with his mind and emotions and stuff.
I didn't mind the concept, but the actress they got in ROTF was horrible. :(

Hmm, I didn't mind her that much. I actually considered her to be one of the films highlights.
I don't know, it was like she tried really hard to look sexy in every scene. :-\
Hmm, yeah...I think that, if she avoids that, she could potentially become a not too bad actress.
Whats wrong with her faaaaaaaace!

She can't help it. Directors know teen boys drool over the sight of her so it will always happen. Heck, the shot of her on the bike in RotF from the rear was a surprise to her even because Spielberg wanted to capture people's attention right away when introducing her.

I was talking about Isabel Lucas, not Megan Fox.
Funny thing is, the Carly character is the one from the cartoon that Spike, err Sam marries.
Poor girl sure looks like someone cut up her credit card in that photo and does not look like much of a plus...

So are the Wreckers Autobots or Decepticons?
They were an Autobot sub-team in the G1 comics. Clicky (http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/Wrecker)
Ahh, I see. Should be cool. But with all these new Autobots, lets hope that the Decepticons aren't just unnamed generic bots like in ROTF.
OMG the wreckers were the most badass killer autobot squad and weren't led by Optimus but instead by Springer (sooooo much cooler). If they include Drift, the one and ond only ninja autobot who didn't wield guns just swords..... holy matrix of leadershop batman I WILL praise Alpha Trion as my saviour for eternity

Oh god if it is (or was), I know what I'd use to get through traffic when I drive to school
That... is... I love that so much I'm going to have to steal it.
Seems like Bay have abandoned Skids and Mudflap for a mullet wearing, stupid NASCAR robot.

A Graboid Transformer.
Regarding the news, eh.
Hope this transformer will not have any kind of major part in the film. :-\ Could barely stand the twins in ROTF.
I thought the twins were great. That made me lol.

Though I'm not complaining. Those were my two favorite Decepticons. And the dragon in this movie looks insane!

I haven't heard anything in a while, but is Leo returning in this?
According to IMDB he's in it. Don't know why though, didn't see the appeal in his character.
I found him to be slightly funny, moreso than the Twins, but the excessive tasing and the bathroom scenes didn't sit well with me.

Comedy relief ::)
Like I said: useless. He didn't provide any kind of comedy relief.
He had a few funny scenes, but nothing really worth mentioning. I hated the tasing stuff and the bathroom scene.
With the exception of bringing Sam to Robo Warrior and solving the mystery of the signs, all he did was cry and scream in every second scene. Honestly.

They were occasionally funny, but mostly annoying. Like Leo. As I mentioned in another thread, their two slots could have been used to characterize Ironhide and Rachet.

That would be amazing. Actually, thats how I want the third one to start.

I'm still wondering if Megan Fox will have a small cameo in this. She was on set for a couple days, after all...
Twins not in? http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/have-the-twins-been-edited-out-of-dotm/20919/ (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/have-the-twins-been-edited-out-of-dotm/20919/)
Please be true! :D
I think I'm the only one on this forum that is actually disappointed in the Twins being cut out. Maybe it will be
because my little brother will be sad they are not in it.

Or Sideswipe. :'(
If you're going to have twins or
brothers, make it the original two, Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. I'd rather see Gimli/Legolas antics contesting the number of each one's defeated enemies between the brothers than petty squabling from the twins.

For real, she deserves more than just a 10 second cameo. And let's have the real deal, not a female hologram.
Didn't she die?
Of the three Motorcycle-Transformers, Arcee was the pink one I think. She was blasted and then we aren't showed anything more. She could have got a fix later though.
Ahh, OK. I was confused by that whole thing. Didn't Bay say that all three were one character controlled by one consciousness or something ???

Sentinel Prime is looking pretty awesome. :)
Sentinel looks great! The entire character (unless explanation is provided in the movie) is a giant plot hole, but an awesome plot hole nonetheless!
You mean with Prime being the last Prime? That could be explained with no one knowing that Sentinel Prime was on the moon and so they assumed he was dead or lost somewhere.

I could agree with that, but the Fallen seemed to have some psychic stuff going on, and he was able to sense Optimus's death as it was happening. I just feel that he would have been able to know that Sentinel was alive, too.
Maybe it will be explained in the movie, who knows. Maybe he was able to mask his presence or something. Maybe he was dead and brought back. Nothing is certain at the moment.

Maybe he was in a coma or something, seeing as how he had probably been on the moon for a long time.
Or maybe time traveling is involved? Didn't the first trailer, when they found his ship on the moon, take place during the 60's? Maybe he will travel to our day, which would explain why The Fallen couldn't sense him.
I'm sure we'll get some explanation at least. :D
Hopefully we get something. But if not, eh, whatever. I don't exactly approach Bay's Transformers looking for the best plot in a movie. They are just simple, dumb fun.
Also, I just noticed that even that magazine cover is yelling at me for not seeing 2001 yet :P

Soundwave as he will appear in the movie... (these images are from the upcoming Dark of the Moon videogame)

Hasbro is doing a Human Alliance Soundwave toy... safe bet he'll arrive with a mini Lazerbeak ;)
Awesome!
So Soundwave will come to Earth this time?
Could just be the image but LB looks friggin' huge.
Yep he's coming to earth 8)

He was big in the SuperBowl spot, too. I like it.
I want the f**kin' trailer to arrive. NOW.
Soundwave is an SUV according to ign.com who have played the Dark of the Moon Game already :)
Any mention on why they settled on an SUV?
I wonder whp's going to be voicing Sentinel Prime. They should get someone like James Earl Jones or Liam Neeson to do his voice, since only their voices have a strong of a presence as Peter Cullen.

Morgan Freeman should also voice Optimus Prime. And Megatron. And Bumblebee...
...and Sam.

Agreed. Since he played God, he should voice the one Autobot that's supposed to be even higher up than Prime.
Picked up the Prequal Comics. If Shockwave is anything like he is in the comics, he should be great. Also, Astrotrain appears like he might be in.
Bay talks Transformers, says he's done after this one.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Jolt17/news/?a=33974 (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Jolt17/news/?a=33974)
His reasons for this one being better are because Shockwave has a big gun and it takes place in a city? ::)
Is that really what he says?
:laugh:
Oh wait that's not what he said at all.
He said this one will be good because they had time to make a story and he added, as an extra note, it'll take place in a city.
Yeah, but he keeps bringing up the city in every interview. Its almost like he blames what happened to the second one for happening because it was in a desert.
All I want is the trailer to f**king arrive.

Good. Maybe they'll reboot and make a series without the stupid humour.

I want more pictures of Sentinel Prime. :'(
First pic is cool, Shia looks constipated in the second, and Rosie looks much better in that third pic than in the past few.
Still want a trailer, though.
The trailer should be around the corner.
Leonard Nimoy?! ;D

Oh, thank you.
And thank Megan Fox.
Jee, I would have never guessed I would've missed her so much.
Would've preferred a film with her in a coma for something, instead of the new ugly, nightmare-worthy fiancee. >>
She's not that ugly. She has big lips sure, but I wouldn't label her ugly.

That's the reason for why I simply have to turn my head when I see an image of that woman. I
hate pumped, dinghy lips. They strike with an incredible success in ruining the beauty of a woman. She can have nice hair, nice eyes, nice nose, but those f**king lips?
Graaaaaaaaaaaah. They are f**king
ugly. As are all the women that overdo plastic surgery - and Whiteley is an excellent example of that.

Maybe because there's too much photoshop & plastic surgey around.
Even with that, I don't think she's so special. I just hope she'll perform well as a character even if honestly... I think we know what to expect ::)

Why don't we have a trailer by now? :P
Yeah, a full lenght trailer would be nice.
It should be out by May since the TF2 trailer was release around the end of April IIRC? Rumor has it that a full length trailer will be released with "Thor".
Give it another month at most, I should think. It's going to be a summer film so I'd expect another trailer closer to that time.

Kind of disappointing the new song is just a remix :-\
Yeah, something new would've been nice. I love "New Divide" and I think it's one of their best songs.

This.
What I've Done and
New Divide kicked ass but this one is quite meh.
I didn't like the use of Linken Park songs in the previous movies, it felt dated straight away to me.
Only movies from the 80's can get away with their own time period music and still be awesome... ie Top Gun ;D

The post process is going very well - way better then ROTF. We have massive shots but we got going 6 months earlier on this film then the last. We jump very hard and fast on post in this film.

Well to be honest, I can't really think of any song-based soundtracks since then that have made me take notice in a good way. Or at least none have sprung to mind. If anyone wants to show me otherwise, I'm all ears :)

What's funny about these transformers design is that if they would have gone for something not as busy they would have saved a whole boat load of cash in rendering all those little useless pieces. Or they could have spend that cash on more animation and not need to reuse stuff.

Yeah.... the War of the Worlds remake got it from the War of the World book. So 1898.

I'm pretty sure HG Wells did back in 1898 with War of the Worlds. He made aliens more popular and scary then anyone else did before.

There we go that's what I was trying to remember.
That's what I thought also.

Became a cliche because it became so popular. Just like Vampires getting killed from Sun Light which spawn from Nosferatu back in 1922.

A rumour going around...
Spoiler
Soundwave is going to be disguised as Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's Mercedes Benz... Michael Bay debunked it on his forum but then again he also said that Megatron wasnt going to be in the last movie, so....
also... image of Soundwave's Robot Mode in the new Transformer's game... ;)

He's playing a human character called 'Dutch'.

So badass... and the toy is insanely accurate! Will be buying that one hehe
I would feel a helluva lot more excited for this film if it was called "Transformers 3: We're Sorry" and opened with a 15 minute monologue from Michael Bay in which he pleads with the audience for forgiveness after the travesty that was Transformers 2, before exploding in one of the best pyrotechnic stunts ever performed. Is that really too much to ask?!
But really, I would feel so much more excited if it wasn't following TF2. I thought the first film was big, dumb and full of fun aided by a steady Spielberg hand and a nice central theme (a boy and his first car). That I'm actually still quite dubious about this film despite public apologies and an appealing teaser trailer says a lot about how bad the second film shit the bed for me.

You guys are really overreacting with *What's the actress's model's name again?*
I mean, yeah, she definitely isn't the prettiest girl ever, especially those lips, but she certainly isn't ugly.
Her acting ability, on the other hand...that remains to be seen.

Which is cool because, visually, Skyline was stunning. Especially for its budget.
But why does bay have to make nearly every Decepticon gray? Makes them hard to tell apart...

Umm..don't know if you noticed but everything is hard to tell apart in Transformers. Apparently cinematography= shooting every fight sequence at a distance of 0.1 nano-meters. And it doesn't make it any easier the camera is focused on barely visible moving parts moving and shifting at a million miles per hour. I nearly threw up after the seccond movie.
Yeah, I know that, but I mean during the (very, very rare) still shots, where the Transformers are just talking (and I mean the rare shots with no explosions in the background) it would help if we could tell them apart a little more. There were too many generic robots in ROTF.
That said, this movie will probably just be more unintelligent, terrible, dumb fun like the first two. I'll enjoy it for that, but it will probably be a horrible movie. I hope its at least on the level of the first one, though.

I agree with everything you said, but for me,
it was not fun. But thats just me, I just thought it was garbage, but I'm kind of a film snob, so I couldn't say I liked either of the last ones.
I am a film snob too, usually.
But for some reason, seeing these movies with my friends, despite their quality, or lack of it, I end up enjoying them. They are terrible movies, with barely any plot, and uninteresting characters (except the main soldier dude. He's kind of cool), but I just end up enjoying them for some reason.
I hated Skyline and other movies of the sort, I guess its just something to do with bay. His action scenes have too much shakey-cam, but I just tend to find them as VERY dumb fun.

Well, you have more tolerance then I, good sir. I threw up all my insides just
trying to watch Skyline. That was my #1 of the worst movies of that year, in my opinion.
Yeah, Skyline was terrible. I wanted to throw up...not from shakey cam, but from the story.
Wait, did I say story? :D Next I might be saying that the movie had characters!

Skyline was basically
The Hill's meets
Indepedence Day and NOBODY needed that.
Never saw The Holls, but Independanve Day is fun.
Can't wait for the trailer.
You guys crack me up claiming that Revenge of the Fallen was some sort of hideous insult to all movies. It was basically exactly like the first movie, except with more idiotic characters and more transformers fighting. Are you really serious? Storyline wasn't really the strong side of either film, but it was enough to keep the audience engaged from scene to scene. You do know that Transformers is based off of a childrens cartoon, right?
The transformer design and directing are valid critiques, in my opinion, because how can you enjoy a movie if the action is just so intense you can't see anything? It's too awesome to see! (I remember another film based on a few franchises I love being annoyingly dark, wakka wakka). That's my own personal hope, that Bay chills out with the 14,000-different-piece robots flying around in blurry shaky-cam as they fire 40 different weapons at each other. And constant Matrix slow motion is not the answer, dude.
Rant over. The new one looks wicked, so far. I could see what was happening!

If you watch film to turn your mind off, then all that film was made for and hoped to achieve is gone. Nothing about Transformers is awesome, unless you count the number of suckers Bay lures in to his shit movies. I'm guessing this one will be a worse rape to cinema then the previous one. Also, WHY MAKE A FILM BASED ON A CHILDRENS CARTOON?! Oh I forgot, MONEY! If you think Transformers and it's kin are a respectable form of entertainment, it shows how far the art of cinema has gone down the shitter of "mindless action" When I see shit like Transformers, I get bored. Why? More of the same recycled bull that every similar movie has, nothing diffrent, and Micheal Bay thrives off that boring dumb action. Transformers sucks, period, end of story.
These movies are based on a cartoon that's sole purpose was to sell Japanese toys to American kids. They had to fill in a backplot which consisted each episode with:
Decepticons find enegon, Autobots interfere. Looks like Decepticons are winning, wait no, something happens and Megatron yells "Retreaaaaaattttt!!!" Rinse, Repeat. Good on Bay for throwing in a little titty to the already deep plot.
Also Megan Fox was less hot in it.

You're severely underestimating how popular Transformers is. A franchise doesn't last for 26 years if it sucks.

I never said the franchise sucked, as a childrens cartoon, even though it was stereotypical of the material, was excelent, not to mention the toys that came with them were one of the most inventive yet. I loved the original Transformers as a kid, hell, I adored it, the new movies? Nothing about it is Transformers, give me some 80's hair metal. The new Transformers movies are raping my childhood, none of it is the transformers I grew up with, not to mention it is a rape to the art of cinema, like I already stated/ gave examples for

And with less imagination, worse writing (I mean whose idea was it to give the comedy sidekick a comedy sidekick and then give that guy 2 comedy sidekicks), lack of any real core theme or dedication to it (the first with it's 'boy and his first car/ love theme) and boasted a villain who spent the majority of the film sending others to do his work and when he does rear his head he's defeated almost outright. It felt like shit was being thrown at the wall with it's erratic pacing and without any real focus. The first is hardly a masterpiece but there had at least been an attempt at focusing the plot and pacing the narrative.
Not to mention the "Negro"-Bots in the sequel that OBVIOUSLY were just comedic black stereotypes, that just happen to not be able to read, just happen to have gold teeth, and just happen to use a level of inane ebonics in everything they say, because, "Black people are stupid, right audience, it's funny, right? RIGHT?" And keep nailing you over the head with it the entire movie. What sickens me even more is Steven Spielberg, a decent if not GREAT director, attached his name to this retardation. Everything about the movies makes me want to barf out my circulatory system.
I don't think Spielberg had any real say over the film in any capacity as I remember. He was involved in helping get the first film made and the crew together (including Michael Bay) but he's had little else to do with the franchise since according to my knowledge. But I do agree about the "negro" twins. They were just terrible from conception to execution. I mean why the thought the comedy sidekick's comedy sidekick needed a further two somewhat racist comedy sidekicks, is beyond me.

Spielberg watched the movie with Bay several weeks before the premiere. He then turned to Bay and said "It was awesome!".
(Read in some article back then.)
:laugh:
Are we talking "Awesome" in the way James Cameron thought T3 was or actually awesome? ;) Nonetheless I don't think you'll ever find such a guy talking shit about recent films, especially ones with his name on them and to the director of said movie. On the other hand it could be genuine and all is lost.

Does look really cool indeed. Definitely seeing. Should be fun.
But my God, they didn't even give Rosie a single line in the trailer. This chick better be able to act.
I'm thinking they really should have gone with the title: Transformers 3: Shit Gets Real... then explodes
The visuals are a treat and I do appreciate that this one seems to be bringing an "alien invasion" feel to it, something which I think the first two films missed out on despite their content. Still, the jury is out for me. I'm not sold yet.
Looks to be a fun summer blockbuster. Can't wait.
You can tell even if there is any "comedy" in the movie, they have kept it all hidden from these trailers; considering the criticism the first 2 movies got in that department.

This is the end of cinema. When people would rather watch a movie for fun then intelectual or emotional, thought provoking cinema. I am so sure that this movie well suck worse then the previous two, that if it GENERALLY does everything a movie should do, I will eat my own testicals,
while they still are attatched to my penis. When I think good cinema I think Stanley Kubrick, David Fincher, Cristopher Nolan, etc. When I think of Michael Bay, my last shit comes to mind.
It's a pop corn flick, when watching these movies, I know what I'm getting for. I don't watch these movies like I do with most classic cinema from Hitchcock or Kubrick. While these movies have very little do to with the G1 series, I watch them with a open mind and know that they are nothing like their cartoon counterparts.
I do admit that the second movie was pretty damn bad, even if it did had more action.

Just because he has bad taste, does NOT mean he makes bad movies. I don't care if he loved Uwe Boll either, his movies count. Something Baybeys (clever huh?) don't know. Why pay the same for a "popcorn flick" if you could pay the same for something that actually moves you?

I dont think that anyone said "Oh well I'm going to watch Transformers 3 instead of (insert thought provoking cinema here)."
And as Samuel L Jackson said:

Yeah, looks like some fun.
There is something wrong with seeing a film for "fun" (Watching a Bay movie is hardly fun) if you won't watch a movie for the same time to actually get your mind blown. Why would you not want your mind blown? That is the purpose of cinema in the first place, to give high quality mind blowing, amazing, thought provoking material, something Transformers fails on all account.

I needed a good 5,000th post, and I think this is it.
Cinema is an art form. There is not specific way to do it. There are no rights or wrongs. There are opinions. According to most people, myself included, Transformers fails at creating likable characters or forming a worthwhile story, but has entertaining action scenes and is fun to watch when hanging out with friends. Then there are movies like Alien or Inception or 2001 A Space Odyssey, which are best when watched alone, and, while they have amazing special effects, the story and deep undertones are what draws people in. And even still there are comedies which can are often just watched when a person wants to relax or have a bit of fun. Different movies aren't just for different tastes, but also for different moods. I think of movies the same way I do music. Each and every film has its own meaning, and every movie exists to show something off. Some show off plot, others actors, and others special effects. It is all the personal taste of the director. I, personally, love my movies with great acting and meaningful stories, just as I like my music with thought provoking lyrics. But who am I to stop someone from enjoying Transformers?

There is something wrong with seeing a film for "fun" (Watching a Bay movie is hardly fun) if you won't watch a movie for the same time to actually get your mind blown. Why would you not want your mind blown? That is the purpose of cinema in the first place, to give high quality mind blowing, amazing, thought provoking material, something Transformers fails on all account.
I dont get what your saying there.
And are you kidding?
A giant robot that transforms into a gun, what could be more mindblowing, amazing, and thought provoking?
It could be, Bay manages to replace all of that. There is nothing thought provoking, mind blowing, and amazing about this:

Bay's racism just shows how stupid, and unqualified he is.

I needed a good 5,000th post, and I think this is it.
Cinema is an art form. There is not specific way to do it. There are no rights or wrongs. There are opinions. According to most people, myself included, Transformers fails at creating likable characters or forming a worthwhile story, but has entertaining action scenes and is fun to watch when hanging out with friends. Then there are movies like Alien or Inception or 2001 A Space Odyssey, which are best when watched alone, and, while they have amazing special effects, the story and deep undertones are what draws people in. And even still there are comedies which can are often just watched when a person wants to relax or have a bit of fun. Different movies aren't just for different tastes, but also for different moods. I think of movies the same way I do music. Each and every film has its own meaning, and every movie exists to show something off. Some show off plot, others actors, and others special effects. It is all the personal taste of the director. I, personally, love my movies with great acting and meaningful stories, just as I like my music with thought provoking lyrics. But who am I to stop someone from enjoying Transformers?
You are absolutley right, cinema is an art form. You are right there is some opinion. But a watercolor of two girls one cup, which is the ocular equivilant to transformers. You are right, we have no right to judge others who enjoy Transformers, I simply am saying most are kids under 18 who still haven't had the opurtunity to explore other film, like Apocolypse now, or 2001, or hell, Alien. There is something wrong when you are trying to justify watching something that has no worth in thought or feeling, something dull and boring, ala Transformers. I did somewhat enjoy the first one, I have it a 2 1/2 out of 5. The seccond, just showed how talentless Bay is at directing. He should be a cinematogropher, rather. Films like Transfomers, block buster dumb popcorn movies, are why more arthouse and intelegent social commentaries are mainly flops. Everybody would rather have thier eyes jacked off by Bay.
I am also saddened that these films are popular, while more thought provoking ones are not. The thing I hate the most is when a genre is milked dry simply because it is popular, and then Hollywood forgets about it. Then, when it is forgotten, someone comes up with a really great story in that genre, but the studios won't let them make it because it is no longer profitable.

I'm currently in film school, and this makes me want to throw up. I have risked life and limb and home, I am currently working in film school, and this makes me sick. I have spend money, hell, nearly went broke pursuing the field I loved since I watched my first movie, 2001, and now, DUMB ASS POPCORN MOVIES like TRANSHITTERS, make me wonder if it is worth it. I spent sleepless hours analyzing and studying, and then read this post, asking why have I tried, if "men" like Bay are the street pleasers, and not the indie thought provoking ones. This post makes me sick.

The Box Office shows that people flock to these movies, and not art house, thought provoking ones, when dumb shit like this gets millions of dollard and smarter films don't, the ideal magic of cinema is all but lost. In fact, watching 2001, one of my friends said I'm bored, and said lets watch Transformers instead. I nearly shit out my entire organ system. If you do not see my point, and still would rather watch this then some other better movie for the same price, you are only proving my point. I would much rather watch The Myth of the American Sleepover (upcoming independant film) which deals with childhood, the passing from one year to the next, during summer, and think, and feel genuine emotion, then simply waste two hours having Bay jack off my eyeballs. What is even more sad is, you probably only know about the films that are
guarenteed to make the summer box office.

To be honest, I do sort of agree with you. And I only watch movies like this for fun, yes, but I still watch classics. Hell, none of my favorite films were made past the 90s.
And I had a similar experience. A friend of mine refused to watch Aliens because he was disappointed that there wasn't any gore..

QuoteWhen I think good cinema I think Stanley Kubrick, David Fincher, Cristopher Nolan, etc.
So do I since I love watching great films from Kubrick, Hitchcock, Ishiro Honda, and Fritz Lang. These movies are based off of a cartoon series that half of the characters where created to sell toys. None of the Transformers shows or comics had any real death to them. If a live action movie of them where made then the movie is going to be a mindless popcorn flick
I'm not a fan of most of Bay's movies, and I don't think any of the TF live action where in general. But I see nothing wrong with people just seeing movies for fun, and nothing else? This is no different then most monster movies from the 50's where made like "Them!", "Beast of 20,000 Fanthoms", and "The Giant Gilla Monster". Most art type of films never get a big release because the studio thinks they won't sell, but they always get word of mouth when the Oscar time shows up (Like Slumdog Millionaire for example).

So the story is that there were Decepticons on the moon and no one knew?
Dont the Transformers have Teletran I or something to scan for Decepticons or something? They are right there.

Then wait till it comes on DVD. Spend your matine on something worthy of the silver screen, that moves you, and makes you think. I want mental masturbation, rather then ocular, which Bay is so good at, I fail why he doesn't becoume a cinematographer.
If all movies where all art then movies and done by Georges Melies then cinema would be boring since the whole point of cinema is have people is to be creative. It's no different when painting a picture, or creating a video game, or creating music. Nothing in movies would be fun.

If you think thinking is boring then I feel terrible for you. Trying to understand and contemplate a symbol and a point that relates to our modern world is alot more meaningful, and alot less time wasting, then watch "Megatron" butf**k "Optimus Prime" at a distance that nobody knows what the ass is going on. Video Games, also, cannot be art, because they are meant to be exactly fun, popcorn flicks, so if you play video games, and yet, still want more popcorn, and you are justifying your position that you think films like 2001 and Kubrick are boring if they dominated cinema, then all that cinema has hoped to achieve, the magic that movie making and the silver screen can offer, is all but gone. You ruined it, you would rather have a Bay in existance then have thought provoking material dominate. A cinema dominated by philosophy, is not a boring one at all, and shows just how boring you really are.
I found your argument valid until you mentioned video games not being art. I view story driven games in the same way that I view movies.
You are horribly wrong. Video games can be, and are art. Games like Heavy Rain and Half Life 2 are shining examples of that.

Excuse me, Ebert, but get the f**k out.
I am not much of a gamer, but when I do play I expect well written characters, good plot, and then, underneath that is gameplay, and finly graphics. Basically the same as my view on movies. Story and characters, themes, etc. And then special effects. And by those standards, Transformers is terrible. But i, for whatever reason, have the ability to enjoy it. It's not something I think about for days aftr like 2001 or Serenity, but it's just simple, dumb fun. I wish there were less dumb fun movies and more legitimate stories being made but, unfortunately, that is not the case.
That is up to debate, and I am largely on Ebert with this one. Video games cannot be art because art is through the eye of the prociever, and video games are story driven. Video games are story driven. If you are willing to say that pacman questions us about the ineptitude of government, then you deserve a neck. Not all video games are art. If a video game that is abstract and symbolic enough where it is not dominated by the story, then it becoumes art, so far no video game that I know of does this, though I may be wrong.. But that is besides the point, my main point I have already said in 70 diffrent angles.
Show me a game that makes you have the same feeling as watching the end of 2001 and the entirety of Eraserhead, then I will admit my wrong.
I am not saying video games are bad, I am saying that the difference between Transformers and Fallout 3 is I can control Fallout 3, I can play it, and am not bored by it. Video Games are 9/10 of my life. I love them, I just don't think one, as of yet, is considered to be art. Again, give me one, and I will eat my dick.
Also, for you Nightmare Assylum, I will repost why it is ASS.

Video games being art is debatable, and I might as well have kicked myself in the ass for saying it. What is not debatable is the rape of cinema which is Transformers.
Ifwe are comparing soundtracks too, then Halo 3 ODST is definitely one of my favorite pieces of art. And the rest of the Halo series, and Tron Legacy, and Jurassic Park. And even Tramsformers, which I felt had a great soundtrack that the movie was not worthy of.

Indubudably, I don't think Transformers was that noteworthy, my favorite soundtrack so far would have to be the Inception soundtrack.
Not all of it was great, but the ones that were great really were great.

Is anybody saying some shit so crazy as that? Please, look deeper at, say, the work of Rockstar Games where they have a more fleshed out vision of the West (of course I'm talking about Red Dead Redemption) than a movie is capable of. It's more comparable to television in the way that something like Red Dead plays out (without being canceled halfway through it's run of course...). The thing is, Red Dead Redemption matches and exceeds a f**kton of Westerns (film) out there, not only in it's view of the west, but in terms of it's story. It also provides a layer of depth that a film simply
cannot.
If
exceeding film in ways that many people still can't seem to grasp is what games have been doing since the beginning of the past decade, then that's the way it'll be until videogames are accepted as art by, mostly, the OLDER generations; ala film snob and pretentious c**t, Roger Ebert, who is clearly undereducated on the subject as to properly speak of it, thinking of Pac-Man gobbling up random orbs and doing stiff 90 degree turns. If the old fart saw Red Ded Redemption's
opening scene, he'd be sitting there with his
bottom lip gaze (ooh, too soon?) turned upward in arrogance, yet fully knowing what he is whitnessing is art on the same level as film or dramatic television. I've only been using Red Dead Redemtion here as an example, but god knows there are so many more. Grand Theft Auto being the one that catches the most flak from old generations who haven't seen a single cutscene.

Indeed. Just like your preferred genre of film, you are also entitled to your preferred style of art. Video games included.
Me, I choose cinema. The blend of film, writing, music...how could it not be considered art. If anything, it is the most demand art form because it combines so many others. And with it, there are so many different possibilities of films to experience. Transformers is one of those. Its certainly not a good movie, but it is not the "death of cinema" you were calling it. Especially when we still have our favorites to love and cherish and rewatch until our eyes bleed.
Whoever said movies are not art is insane.

Video games are story driven. If you are willing to say that pacman questions us about the ineptitude of government, then you deserve a neck. Not all video games are art. If a video game that is abstract and symbolic enough where it is not dominated by the story, then it becoumes art, so far no video game that I know of does this, though I may be wrong..
Is anybody saying some shit so crazy as that? Please, look deeper at, say, the work of Rockstar Games where they have a more fleshed out vision of the West (of course I'm talking about Red Dead Redemption) than a movie is capable of. It's more comparable to television in the way that something like Red Dead plays out (without being canceled halfway through it's run of course...). The thing is, Red Dead Redemption matches and exceeds a f**kton of Westerns (film) out there, not only in it's view of the west, but in terms of it's story. It also provides a layer of depth that a film simply cannot.
If exceeding film in ways that many people still can't seem to grasp is what games have been doing since the beginning of the past decade, then that's the way it'll be until videogames are accepted as art by, mostly, the OLDER generations; ala film snob and pretentious c**t, Roger Ebert, who is clearly undereducated on the subject as to properly speak of it, thinking of Pac-Man gobbling up random orbs and doing stiff 90 degree turns. If the old fart saw Red Ded Redemption's opening scene, he'd be sitting there with his bottom lip gaze (ooh, too soon?) turned upward in arrogance, yet fully knowing what he is whitnessing is art on the same level as film or dramatic television. I've only been using Red Dead Redemtion here as an example, but god knows there are so many more. Grand Theft Auto being the one that catches the most flak from old generations who haven't seen a single cutscene.
Oh, and on the topic of soundtracks?

I should also mention that, while I'm with you on Transformers being shit, I think the hit against it's soundtrack by using the Linkin Park track was an unfair one... because, well, Linkin Park is shit. :laugh:
Try this:

Not even my dislike of the movie can cause me to say that THAT is a bad soundtrack. It's actually fantastic. It just deserved a far better film.

I go to see these movies, and any movie, for some entertainment. That's what cinema is, an entertainment form. And I'll be seeing this because, although the others didn't have good plot or characters, they did entertain me. I have no doubt this will do the same.
Plus, it's two hours of robots smashing eachother apart, and what's not to like? :D (Rhetorical question)

Yep, definitely this. Different movies for different moods.
And in July, I am going to want to see this, definitely. Terrible movie, but amazing fun!
After reading the last few pages and facepalming so f**king hard I nearly broke my nose, I feel like I've to stand up against this travesti:
- Prison_Mike, don't be so anal. Please. Pull that stick out of your ass. I agree with everything said here regarding cinema being an entertainment form. I don't care if these movies aren't filled with thought-provoking and Oscar-worthy material. I watch them because I want to see robots kicking the crap out of eachother for two hours. And, in thart regard, Bay delivers BIG TIME.

Excellently put, Space Sweeper.
Interesting, RDR is also the game I used to convince teachers / parents at my school that video games aren't stupid, story-less, kiddie kill-a-thon things.
Also, agreed with the above,
There's a big difference between a good film and just an entertaining film.
And a guilty pleasure, which is what Revenge of the Fallen is. :D

I have a ps3, and Xbox 360, but I mainly PC game, and no, I still don't think a video game has come out the meets the qualifications for art, but, each persons definition of art is diffrent.
And I will not get the stick out of my ass because I am a film-snob, and damn proud of it. I have put time and money and life into the film school I am currently working on, and when these movies becoume more popular then more thought provoking cinema, I ask myself, what am I godamn doing with my life? When you refuse to watch intelegent cinema, which I KNOW none of you do, and decide to watch a "popcorn flick" with Michael Bay jacking off your eye sockets, then, like I said the art of cinema is gone or close to it.
Watch Jacob's Ladder, watch Eraserhead, watch Apocolypse Now, watch A Clockwork Orange, watch Full Metal Jacket, something that moves you and effects you, watching something for cheap violence and shit fight scenes by a director more qualified to be a burger flipper, then that is when I get upset. Why? Because, again, I have put my life to becoume a film maker, and these films are godamn running the summer box office. I will be anal, have anal, and engage in anal as I please.

So you think movies that have an intelegent point to convey always have to be boring? Compare the fly with 2001, they are completley diffrent, yet are two GREAT films. A cinema dominated by intelegent cinema doesn't always have to be like Stanley Kubrick, there will be diffrence.
How about we bring that argument to another topic, so we can stay on the topic of this Transformers movie? I don't want to bring it up again.
Guys, drop this argument, start a new thread if needs be, and let us get back to discussing f**king huge robots smashing the living oil out of eachother.

Hey, Prison_Mike..
My cousin is involved with film
and he actually went as far as to laugh at you for saying cinema is dying because people would rather watch a movie for fun.
Everyone has different tastes. I watch movies for enjoyment, whether I want to feel scared by them, whether I want them to make me laugh, or whether I just want to have a good time. Your first step to becoming a "film maker" is learning this.
Anyway, enough of this, as Mikey said(I posted this just as he posted his reply)

Mike, enough with the name calling and enough with this pathetic argument. People like what they like, deal with that. The cinema hasn't had thought provoking movies coming outta their ears constantly in a long time. The cinema is an entertainment form, used for entertainment, and robots smashing eachother to shit is entertainment.
If you wanna grow up big and strong and make thought provoking movies, go do that, but let people get on with what they like and stop derailing threads.
Plus, none of those movies really "Moved" or "affected" me. They were just...good movies. Except Jacob's Ladder. Didn't like that one.

Man, I loved that trailer. Looks so much bigger, more epic and more dramatic than the other two movies. Compared to that huge tentacle thing Devastator looks like a little puppy.
Sam yelling "Optimus!" sounds like it could have been ripped right out of the second movie! :D
Lol.
The trailer was awesome. But thats what happened with ROTF as well so I'm not holding my breath about this film being great. Shockwave looks amazing, much better than the Fallen. I really wish they would show Sentinel Prime, Megatron and especially Soundwave.

Especially Megatron for me. I hope hes not pushed off to the side in the (presumably) final movie.
Yeah I can't wait to see Megatron and Soundwave. I also hope we are finally gonna hear Megatron shout "Starscream! You fool!"
Yes! T he first had Megs insult Starscream, in the second he whacked him with his own arm! :D This time I want an actual fight!

Yeah. Even though so far Shockwave is looking awesome, and although he is definitely the main villain, and I hope he features in the movie far more than the Fallen did in ROTF, I also hope that Megatron doesn't become sidelined. He is one of the best characters in the film series in my opinion.
Gosh, that trailer was freakin epic! Hope the fight fight in the climax doesn't seem to similar to the first one. Like where Optimus slides on the street and cuts two or three Deceptions in half, it looked a lot like the city from the first one.

If you watch film to turn your mind off, then all that film was made for and hoped to achieve is gone. Nothing about Transformers is awesome, unless you count the number of suckers Bay lures in to his shit movies. I'm guessing this one will be a worse rape to cinema then the previous one. Also, WHY MAKE A FILM BASED ON A CHILDRENS CARTOON?! Oh I forgot, MONEY! If you think Transformers and it's kin are a respectable form of entertainment, it shows how far the art of cinema has gone down the shitter of "mindless action" When I see shit like Transformers, I get bored. Why? More of the same recycled bull that every similar movie has, nothing diffrent, and Micheal Bay thrives off that boring dumb action. Transformers sucks, period, end of story.
Since I'm not going to read the 7 goddamned pages since my last post (!) I will respond to this. Forgive me if Mike has stepped in it again and angered the elder mods.
QuoteIf you watch film to turn your mind off, then all that film was made for and hoped to achieve is gone
What? I do watch it to escape, and it works very, very well.
QuoteNothing about Transformers is awesome
The transformers were incredibly, mind-blowingly awesome. So was the music. So was the action and the often humorous script, well-played by all roles if a little corny at times. So were the voices of the transformers. So was Megan Fox. So were the incredible combat scenes that used actual footage of things like an AC-130 Gunship firing down on a target. If that isn't enough, you went to the wrong movie. Bridges of Madison County is in theater 4, sir.
Quoterape to cinema
Oh yes, it's a rape to cinema. It was all so brilliant and pure before the Transformers abomination.

If you think Transformers and it's kin are a respectable form of entertainment, it shows how far the art of cinema has gone down the shitter of "mindless action" When I see shit like Transformers, I get bored. Why? More of the same recycled bull that every similar movie has, nothing diffrent, and Micheal Bay thrives off that boring dumb action. Transformers sucks, period, end of story.
Maybe because CHILDRENS CARTOONS used to be centered around strong lessons and morals. In the case of Transformers, there are many demonstrations of these qualities, such as courage, honesty, leadership, fairness, compassion, justice, etc... These concepts are important psychological archetypes that are used in just about every story, in a different combination.
There are also some more advanced concepts for the clever folk like yourself. Humanity's struggle with violence and war being reflected by the Transformers own "social evolution" on Cybertron was one. So is the well of topics that comes with the idea of a sentient machine in general, such as how do they establish morality? Why do they assist the human race? How will they deal with it when humans f- it up, like they always do? How do they poop? Can an F-22 Raptor really be evil? There are many aspects of a movie you should learn how to recognize before pasting it as total garbage.
The stereotypical, recycled plot you mention, while being your single valid point, is just the business of creating entertainment. Stories are generally constructed around the same formats that have been the standard since the ancient Greeks, because people expect it, and can follow it easily from one point to the next. No, Transformers isn't a creative voyage into the art of reinventing cinema, but it does hit all of the standard notes while showing you awesome robot carnage.
QuoteTransformers sucks, period, end of story.
The first film grossed over $700 million, so apparently a few people disagree with you. It was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Achievement in Visual Effects, and Steve Jablonsky won the BMI Film Music Award for the score.
To close, I have discovered through this debate that you are a constipated old woman.

This is the end of cinema. When people would rather watch a movie for fun then intelectual or emotional, thought provoking cinema. I am so sure that this movie well suck worse then the previous two, that if it GENERALLY does everything a movie should do, I will eat my own testicals, while they still are attatched to my penis. When I think good cinema I think Stanley Kubrick, David Fincher, Cristopher Nolan, etc. When I think of Michael Bay, my last shit comes to mind.
Now I'm reading. Sweet Roller. Oh yes, Mike, god forbid people actually watch movies for fun, and not to plumb the intellectual depths of their souls. If you take movies that seriously, expect hemerrhoids.
The end of cinema? The end of cinema?!

Didn't know she was in it.
Meaning you want to check it out more or less? :laugh:
It's great though, I think you'll love it.
Doesn't really affect my decision to see it.
There are lots of actors I don't like in movies I enjoy a great deal so I don't pay attention. If she does a good job I will give her kudos.
I saw the trailer. The scene with Optimus fighting along with the music was epic but I'm now convinced this new blonde chick will be useless. Seriously, she looked so clueless in each scene she was in.
Probably cus she can't act. Hopefully she won't be in it too much, maybe, like, coming in at half way or something. I don't know.

I'm trying to compile a list of all the movie related Transformers comic EU material in anticipation of the new movie. I'm afraid I'm missing a few titles, could someone help me out? Here's what I have so far.
Transformers 1:
Official movie prequel to Transformers
Unofficial movie prequel to Transformers (compilation of comics that were published in a UK Transformers magazine)
Transformers Movie Prequel Special (one that was given for free in theatres)
Transformers Movie Prequel (mini comic that came with Target DVD)
Transformers Movie Adaptation
Reign of Starscream
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen:
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Defiance
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Alliance
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Movie Adaptation
Transformers Nefarious
Transformers Sector 7
Transformers Tales of the Fallen
Transformers Dark of the Moon:
Transformers Rising Storm
Transformers Foundation
Transformers Dark of the Moon Movie Adaptation
If I'm missing any, please tell me.
EDIT: I know there are also novelizations for the Transformers movies. There are only 5, right? Transformers 1 prequel and adaptation, Transformers Revenge of the Fallen prequel and adaptation, and Transformers Dark of the Moon adaptation (no prequel).
I only see one missing and that's Transformers Dark of the Moon: Foundation. The prequal to the first film is Ghosts of Yesterday and the prequal to ROTF is The Veiled Threat.
Thanks, I've added it. Anything else?

What? The majority of the EU for the Transformers movie franchise
is canon. There's a great deal of work dedicated to making sure that there are consistencies between each of the EU titles; some of them even reference events depicted in the other EU merchandise. You have to consider them canon.
Hell, even some of the backs of the toys are canon.

More of them. Besides, alot of the time it just talks about the character, so it's not like it conflicts with anything on screen.
One of the Transformers toys I resented was the Jungle Bonecrusher figure. It says Bonecrusher survived his tiff with Optimus Prime in Transformers 1 and is now destroying rain forests somewhere in South America. I wished Bonecrusher would simply stay dead. :(
Dude...HE IS DEAD. That's just a random card with extra info that is totally meaningless.
Also... Michael Bay and the writers for the movies dont give 2 flying f**ks about the prequel comics or the backs of the toy boxes....
Actually in one of the prequel novels, it depicts Simmons interrogating Frenzy's head for information about the Transformers. And if you look in Transformers Revenge of the Fallen, you can see Frenzy's head in a glass case in Simmons's hideout.

The prequel writers are given the movie script to work with before the movie comes out... they have to care about what happens where and when in the movies.. but the movie writers dont have to care (and dont) about the prequel comics.. at all.....

Twins are back. That's one less plot hole that this series could endure alas Jolt and Barricade. There's something odd about Sentinel Prime's backstory. He left Cybertron in the Ark... with technology he thought would eventually save their planet?
It sounds pretty good.
Sounds like it could be the best yet! I can't wait to watch the trilogy in its entirety.
As much as I dislike Michael Bay, I love him. The man may not be an award winning, respectable director, but he has fun with what hes doing, and that counts for something. The movies are a lot of fun to watch. :)

Whoops, my mistake, I read the review where he didn't clarify whether he was referring to the Twins or Wheelie and the other smaller robots. My mistake. Sorry.
If they're gonna take out The Twins why not just take out wheelie too? Only good thing he did in the movie was dry hump Megan Fox... well and pointing them to the nearest old transformer. But still, he was just as dumb as da Twins.

decent comic relief :D
Nooo way. It's racial stereotyping down to the design. They're better of left out.
The stereotyping (which I didn't even pick up on until after reading online) should definitely be left out, but the design could be tweaked a bit.
Ahh, whatever. Doesn't really matter. I'm assuming they'll just say they died in the battle in the desert.

Exactly. It would been better if they just appeared as background characters. That way it could have rid the series of yet again another plot hole.
But the character that I'm really disappointed not see return is Jolt. He barely even got any screentime in ROTF, I think he deserved at least some screentime. Him and Barricade.

He plucks them out, almost without noticing, which somehow makes it worse. Still, Megatron is in good spirits because a plot hatched long ago is coming to fruition
YESSSSSSSSS....

I think its stupid that they are even taking the Twins out. All they needed to do is tone them down.
Exactly. It would been better if they just appeared as background characters. That way it could have rid the series of yet again another plot hole.
But the character that I'm really disappointed not see return is Jolt. He barely even got any screentime in ROTF, I think he deserved at least some screentime. Him and Barricade.
Shockwave killed Jolt in between movies.

They're pointing in the right direction at least.
Taking the twins out makes them even MORE guilty.
I think the most interesting shot in the new trailer is Sam holding the pistol yelling "Where is she?!" I wonder who he is talking about I mean he looks as if he is in tears and a pistol isn't going to stop a Decepticon so what is going on there?

He is not a pretender. Instead he works with Decepticons, because he wants to rule the world, as silly as it sounds. He's father was involved with the helping the American government cover up the Ark accident on the moon, the ship containing the main villain Sentinel Prime.

Sentinel Prime isn't a villain...
Spoiler
I knew you'd point that out, but I've got my resources and all point to Sentinel Prime being the main villian. Its supposed to be a plot twist. Shockwave's just a lackey. Sentinel Prime's betrayal has a massive impact.
Spoiler
Ironhide is "gravely injured." by Sentinel Prime i.e. killed
Spoiler
Figured as much. We've seen comic scans of Sentinel Shooting Ironhide.
Spoiler
It also explains why Ironhide hasn't been seen on locations as much as all the other Autobots. And all the Silverbolt rumours being in the movie are bullshit. The name was probably just a placeholder. Not sure if James Avery is still voicing an Autobot, but Silverbolt is not in the movie.

Odd think is, Ironhide is major player in the comics and has quite a few toys for the movie. Makes me wonder why they'd kill him? Also, I won't put it past Shockwave to BE Sentinel similar to how he was in TF: Animated.

Not sure which your reacting to but that was my reaction when I heard Sentinel Prime was a villain and Ironhide was going to die. I was praying all along that Ironhide wouldn't die but alas it couldn't be. Plus...

Loving it.
BEWARE MASSIVE, MASSIVE SPOILERS! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SPOIL THE WHOLE MOVIE FOR YOUSELVES, STOP READING! IF YOU DON'T MIND, THEN FEEL FREE TO READ ON!
Spoiler
Here is a descripitive summary of the plot of the movie based on the comic book adaption and other sources. Note that this summary is based on the comic book adapation of the movie, which was based on an early draft of the script. The final film maybe vastly different from the comic. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SPOIL THE WHOLE MOVIE FOR YOUSELVES, STOP READING NOW!!
Spoiler
On July 20th 1969, the Apollo 11 discovered a crashed alien ship on the moon. They also found its captain: Sentinel Prime.
In the present day, the Autobots have now become fully sanctioned members of the U.S. military. Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Mirage and Wheeljack investigate a nuclear facility in the Middle East. Meanwhile, Optimus Prime and Ratchet oversee the destruction of the decommissioned NEST facility in Diego Garcia. With their mission complete in the Middle East, Optimus commands the Autobots to head to Washington D.C, while he, Ratchet and Captain Lennox leave for Prypiat, Ukraine, following a lead on a recently resurfaced enemy.
In Washington D.C. Sam, now lives with his new girlfriend Carly Miller, secretary working for Dylan, a CEO of a major investment company. The pair also lives with decommissioned Autobots; Wheelie and Brains, whose services were turned down by the Autobots. Sam leaves for his new job interview.
Arriving in the uninhabitable city of Prypiat, Optimus, Ratchet and Lennox investigate a dig site where construction workers (who wear special suits) have uncovered a mysterious object resembling a giant pillar. Suddenly, they are attacked by a huge Decepticon named Driller. Some of the construction workers are killed as Optimus orders Ratchet and the humans to retreat, while he battles the Driller. The Driller escapes.
In Africa, Megatron, Starscream and Soundwave learn of the discovery of the pillar by the Autobots. Soundwave deploys Laserbeak to attack Sam. Sam is attacked by Laserbeak, who retreats and reports back to Soundwave after being injured by Sam. Sam then heads to NEST operations in Washington D.C. along with Bumblebee, Carly, Wheelie and Brains, where he is introduced to U.S. Intelligence Director Mearing. Director Mearing reveals that the space race in 1969 was in response to the Ark crashing on the moon, and reveals that they found a deactivated Sentinel Prime.
The Autobots intend to retrieve Sentinel Prime on a ship called The Xantium, built by a hidden sub-team of Autobots called The Wreckers. The Wreckers had been hidden from the public eye due to their abrasive personalities. Optimus Prime, Ratchet and Bumblebee use The Xantium to retrieve Sentinel Prime on the moon. On Earth, Optimus revives Sentinel Prime.
Later, Sam meets with Seymour Simmons, who has now become a millionaire after writing books about his experiences with Sector Seven. He also has a butler and assistant named Dutch. Soon Carly arrives who gets into an argument with Sam. Carly angrily leaves for a party hosted by Dylan. Following a lead, Sam and co arrive at Atlantic City, where they meet up with a former Russian cosmonaut. After a brief scuffle, the cosmonaut informs the group that the Soviet Union were the first to send cameras onto the moon. Footage revealed over a hundred pillars lying over the surface of the moon, however only five were recovered. Sam deduces that the Decepticons must have recovered the other pillars. However, he is puzzled as to why the Decepticons left Sentinel Prime unharmed. He believes that Sentinel Prime maybe the only one who knows how to use the pillars. He realises that the Decepticons left Sentinel Prime, so that the Autobots could recover him as Optimus is the only one who could revive him.
Realising that it was a trap, Sam warns Director Mearing about Sentinel Prime's value. The Autobots, Sam and co escort Sentinel Prime back to NEST operations. Along the way, the group is attacked by a group of Decepticon clones called the Dreads. In the ensuing battle, Simmons is severely injured by a Dread, while Sentinel Prime escapes.
Amidst all the chaos, Megatron awakens Shockwave who is buried underneath Chernobyl after crash-landing many years ago and causing the Tunguska event.
Soon Sentinel Prime betrays the Autobots and murders Ironhide. He reveals that he always was the key before battling and gravely injuring Optimus, and joining forces with Megatron and the Decepticons.
In Gould Estate, Sam arrives and collects Carly from Dylan's party before being attacked by Laserbeak and Soundwave. Dylan reveals that he and his family have been working with the Decepticons all along, noting that his father helped the U.S. government cover up the moon crash landing. In exchange for Carly's life, Dylan forces Sam to spy on the Autobots and inform the Decepticons about the Autobots intended plans. He also forcibly gives Sam a bracelet like device to monitor the Autobots signal.
Sentinel Prime speaks to the humans, revealing that he is the true leader of the Autobots, and his plans to mine Earth's resources to rebuild Cybertron. He also demands the exile of the former Autobots in order to avoid any conflict. If this agreement is not met, Sentinel Prime reveals he will destroy all human life with a battalion of Transformers.
Later, Sam meets up with Director Mearing and Robert Epps, who reveal that the UN has exiled the Autobots. The Autobots intend to leave on The Xantium. Bumblebee remains on Earth, disguised as an old Datsun and helps Sam get rid of the bracelet like device given to him by Dylan. The Autobots leave on The Xantium.
Having secured the city of Chicago and following a meeting between Sentinel Prime and Megatron who are starting to have a friction, Dylan reveals to Carly Sentinel Prime's intention to bring Earth and Cybertron together using the space bridge and enslaving all of humanity to mine its resources. He reveals that the pillars are what will activate the space bridge.
Suddenly, Sam arrives and attempts to free Carly only to be attacked by Laserbeak. Laserbeak is destroyed by a Decepticon tank piloted by Bumblebee, while Dylan escapes. Sam rescues Carly and the Autobots return to the city. Dylan informs Megatron about this; however Sentinel Prime reveals that he anticipated this move on Optimus' part.
As the Autobots prepare for battle, Shockwave arrives with the Driller. The Autobots quickly realise that they are powerless against Shockwave and the Driller. Carly reveals to Sam that if they can destroy the control pillar opening the space bridge, the whole space bridge will collapse, having learnt this of off Dylan. However, Epps reveals that they only have one shot left with the launcher and radios for backup.
Eventually, the Autobots are overpowered by the Decepticons and captured. Soundwave kills Mirage, and just as he prepares to kill Bumblebee he is knocked aside by a Wheelie and Brains piloted Decepticon flagship. The Autobots manage to escape and Bumblebee kills Soundwave. NEST and the Autobots then destroy the Driller. Starscream is also killed by Sam and a few NEST soldiers.
Wheeljack outfits Optimus with a jetpack just as Sentinel Prime and Megatron prepare to open the space bridge. Optimus arrives and massacres a horde of Decepticons before battling and killing Shockwave. Just as the space bridge opens, Sentinel Prime betrays Megatron. As Cybertron begins to come closer to Earth, an angered Megatron is persuaded by Carly to destroy Sentinel Prime just as Optimus battles him.
Megatron and Optimus join forces and destroy Sentinel Prime.
Too many spoilers. Must not read...must not watch clips, etc. etc.
But, to whoever does read/watch, without any spoilers, is it good?
I've read and I'll tell that it recycles dropped ideas from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and turns out to be very good. However this film is very dark compared to the last two.

Don't know. The pages to the comic are missing. Same goes for the novel. Anything to do with Megatron or Megatron related is missing from these adapatations or is greatly abridged.

Spoiler
In the comic book adaptation of the movie, he is in it. He is with the Dreads when they attack the Autobots and humans escorting Sentinel Prime. However, this only because he was never killed in the comic book adapation of ROTF because Ravage's death to the film was a last minute addition. In the novel version of the DOTM he is completely absent, and he probably won't be in the movie.

This has made my day!
Haha, the day after my birthday. ;D
Just thought that I'd mention that Transformers: Dark of the Moon is going to be littered with references to the Predator franchise.
Spoiler
•Seymour Simmons will be a millionaire, and he will have a butler and assistant named "Dutch" played by Alan Tudyk.
•Mirage, the red Ferrari 458 Italia, will have the ability to cloak and make himself partially invisible like Predator.
•The design of the four Dreads, the Chevrolet Suburban emergency vehicles, will resemble the Predators. They have mandibles, dreadlocks and dual bladed wrist-blades
•Soundwave will be a trophy hunting Decepticon. He will literally tear off Mirage's head in the end fight.
I like the sound of this, but wasn't Soundwave always like that? I remember him hanging heads and bodies of his dead enemies where he wanted to.
That was Shockwave. Soundwave is usually just the communications guy.
Supreme fail, twice in the same topic!
I totally got the names confused over here.

Supreme fail, twice in the same topic!
I totally got the names confused over here.
That's ok. ;)
Spoiler
I just cannot stop thinking that Ironhide is going to die in DOTM. He has been seen on locations far less and locations he has been seen on fit perfectly with what's been mentioned in the plot summary. I really don't won't Ironhide to die. I'm not a G1 fan, but I really like Ironhide. After Bumblebee and Optimus, he is proabably the most well-developed Autobot in the film series. I can see why they are going to kill him off, to make the film more impactful, but come on. Ironhide is tough and a total badass.
When he jumps, is about to reach the ground and shoots it to jump further, all in slow motion, man... that was a crowning moment. So f**king great.
Spoiler
The good thing is though, Ironhide gets a few scenes and two decent fights before he bits the dust.

Yet Transformers lost the CGI award to
The Golden Compass... Shame on you, Academy.
Baffling isn't it? Never cared much for the Academy though to be honest haha.

"300" and the second F4 movie at the time did not get a CGI nomination neither. Academy Awards tend to suck most of the time.
Most of the current award systems do. Razzie Awards nearly marked The Shining and The Thing (!!!), just as an example.

It isn't known for giving out awards to those that deserve them, most of the time.
PG-13 intense prolonged sequences of sci-fi action violence, mayhem and destruction, and for language, some sexuality and innuendo.
That. Is. Awesome!

Same...
But this movie looks very, very awesome! I can't wait to watch the trilogy!
The final battle in Chicago is going to last an hour, and Ratchet and Bumblebee are going to have larger roles and more screentime. Sideswipe will proabably have the same amount of screentime as he did in ROTF but he will have more to do and more dialogue.
^ That would be epic!!!
And, I love how half the damn world is getting it before the US. AAGGHHH!

PG-13 and intensity almost sound like an oxymoron. Even for a TF movie.
It's not like PG-13 films can't be 'intense'. See Terminator Salvation.

It's neither here nor there. It was dark and intense for PG standards. If that was PG-13, dunno how a Transformers film would not qualify.

Everytime I see a post of yours, you seem to be asking for a fight.
This movie is going to very intense compared to the previous films. Some executives were shown twenty minutes of footage and revealed that in the finale when civillians get killed, there clothes and skulls are going to be shown of all that of left (think War of the Worlds 2005).
Spoiler
Plus some Autobots ge some gruesome deaths:
Ironhide gets blasted in the face and slowly dies.
Mirage's head is literally torn away from his body in a pretty intense scene.

Revenge of the Fallen had a fair few robot deaths that were disturbing.
The Fallen's being one of them.
I wish that The Fallen had more to do in the movie...maybe In a sequel...

Yeah, and it would be really lame to resurrect yet another character.
Isn't Sentinel Prime kind of being resurrected? I'm assuming that he is dead before the movie starts.

I still think that, despite the first film being better than the second, the forest battle and Prime's death was the best scene in the series so far.
Sure, I'd agree with that...to an extent. My favourite is Prime rolling out of the alleyway, transforming, posing and bellowing "MEGATRON!!!" in the first film ;D
That was cool, too.
I think my biggest problem with the second movie is that it tries to be epic like the first one, but it does in in all the wrong ways. Instead of making it bigger in scope and tension, Bay went with bigger explosions. The first one had a bit more of a Spielberg-ian feel to it. I can watch and enjoy the second movie, but I feel like it needed a bit more input from Spielberg. For example, that shot of the Autobots landing on Earth, that was epic. Devestator tearing apart the Pyramid, not so much.
THe third film looks like it is definitely better than the second, and quite possibly on par with or better than the first. Only time will tell, though.

Bigger and louder explosions is all Bay knows, unfortunately. Even the scene where the Fallen is revealed was underwhelming. The guy is supposed to be Megs' superior yet he looks drunk and lazy when we see him for the first time.
Just looked at the moon landing trailer...

Hmm, I think the conspiracy is the coolest thing about the mOvie.
Bay kinda pulled a double dip, rip-off wise.
1st, it does look an awful lot like the derelict scene from Alien.
And 2nd, an alien artifact is found on the moon.
Let me repeat that.
An alien artifact is found on the moon.
Sound familiar?
Well if we look at it again comparing the scenes in the ship to those in Alien would be saying we saw the Space Jockeys come back to the derelict and look around then go back and talk to the Alien Queen about how they should have told them the ship crashed. Did.... did I forget that part?
And yeah, the artifact thing I'll give you.

F**k Bay. I give the man credit for solid action films like
Bad Boys or
The Rock. But his attempt to tell a cohesive narrative over the years has decreased dramatically.
In Transformers, John Voight tells the nation that they're under an alien invasion. The very next film...everyone treats it like some cover up. What did the goverment pay off all those people in LA that witnessed a massive f**king alien invasion at the heart of the city?
All the conspiracy shit is one of the dumbest aspects of the TF films. It's so crazy that this third film is debunking the conspiracy of the first film with another conspiracy. Jesus H f**king Christ.

Yeah I know - I mentioned as much above.
But if they were going with this f**ktarded idea, at least go with a later mission that isn't so much in the public consciousness. Everyone knows about Apollo 11, but how many people know the details or even crews of 14, 15, 16 or 17?
That would require logic. Something Bay seems to live without.

But Megan Fox didn't have silicon in the first film, but in the comic adaptation she did. And according to the prequel comic of the second she used decepticon technology to enhance herself. I use logic to retcon them titties.

Seriously, how much of the running time is going to be spent (read: wasted) on this dumbass moon business? Did the writers make the characters surprised in the script? That'll be a fun bit of acting to watch.

The only songs that interest me there are the Linkin Park and Skillet ones.
Also agreed about the score.
Skillet, LP, Stain, and Mastodon (which sticks out like a sore thumb) are the only tracks I care about. Not enough to make me buy it.
What I've Done and New Divide were so much better than Iridiscent.
So are all these tracks going to be in the movie?
I think it's one of those inspired by deals, maybe a couple of songs on the credits.

http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/slimybug/news/?a=38010
QuoteAs I'm sure you all know, the film starts out during a battle on Cybertron, where an Autobot ship carrying something that could win the war for the Autobots is shot by Starscream, and left to drift off into space. In the 60s, with the craft lands on the moon. The entire space race is, in reality, in response to this, and moon missions are actually to bring back pieces of the Ark, as it's called (fanboy shout out). But no one ever finds the comatose Autobot in the crash vault.
Sam and Mikaela, er, I mean, his NEW girlfriend Carly, are living in Washington, D.C. with Sam looking for a job. However, after saving the world twice, he's restless and doesn't want to be in a job where he doesn't make a difference. Carly, meanwhile, works for a big art and car collector, Dylan Gould, played by Patrick Dempsey. They also have Wheelie and another obnoxious Wheelie-like robot, Brains, living with them.
Meanwhile, the Autobots are on missions around the world fighting varous human threats, along with Lennox (Epps has since retired from the Air Force) Optimus comes into conflict with Shockwave, who is commanding that big "Driller" creature from the trailers. What he's after he ends up letting go of, and Prime syas that it's impossible because it's a piece of a long-thought-lost Autobot ship.
The Decepticons on Earth, led by a very weakend Megatron, are still planning something.
Pissed off at the humans, especially Frances McDormand's character of Charlott Mearing, head of National Intelligence, for keeping this info from them, Prime demands a mission be sent to the moon with them on it. Very quickly this happens, and Prime and the other Autobots wind up on the moon, not knowing they have soem Decepticon stowawys. They discover Sentinel Prime, Optimus's mentor and predecessor, and five of these pillar things.
Meanwhile, at Sam's new job, (where John Malkovich briefly provides some comedy) Ken Jeong's character recognizes him from the TV broadcasts in the second film (apparently the only one to do so) and tries to inform him a Decepticon plot. Apparently he was being forced to help them cover something up, but wants to tell Sam the truth before being killed by Laserbeak. Sam runs to tell the Autobots, and ends up at their secret base, which Mearing is not too happy about, but at everybody else's insistence, allows him to see the goings-on.
Having taken the pillars and Sentinel back to Earth, Optimus re-activates Sentinel using the Matrix of Leadership, before putting it back in himself. The pillars as it turns out, are part of the space-bridge (fanbot shout out) which will allow whoever uses it to teleport anywhere. But they only have five pillars, the remaining hundreds are missing.
Mearing then shoos Sam home, but Sam has deduced on his own that the Decepticons have been using humans like Ken Jeong for something, and since no one will listen to him, he decides to enlist the help of former Agent Simmons in his investigation. Carly tells him he just wants to save the world again, which is true (a big theme is that Sam is going through the opposite of what he went through in the last film, now he just wants to be in the thicke of it but doesn't have an excuse like the last two tiems) so she breaks up with him and leaves to go to Dylan's party. Simmons is living high off writing a book on his exploits, but jumps at Sam's offer. They find a group of old Cosmonauts now living in the states, who they believe, like so many other astronauts, have been forced to hide something. They show them photos of the dark side of the moon, which has the remaining hundreds of pillars on it. Sam realizes tha Decepticons have known about the space bridge this whole time, and were planning on Optimus retrieving Sentinel for them, because Sentinel is the key. They must protect Sentinel.
They go and retrieve Sentinel, and get him safely back to the hangar, but Sentinel turns out to be a traitor, and kills Ironhide and the Twins with this corosive acid gun with turns them into slag, and runs off with the pillars.
Sentinel believes that the Autobots would never have won the war, so he find himself forced into an alliance with Megatron, to bring about the peace swfitly. All that tiem ago, Sentinel was on his way to meet Megatron on Earth, with Starscreams pursuit an apparent ruse, and both he and Megatron (remember Megatron crashed into the arctic) were waylaid.
Now their plan is complete and they activate a hidden army of Decepticons buried in the moon all these years and are able to transport them to Earth. With a giant army, they then decide to go into hiding for a bit so the plot can progress.
With an army that seems ubeatable against nine Autobots, the human's response is to give up and let them suck their planet's resources. The Autobots are asked to leave the planet, and they get on a ship to do so.
Meanwhile, Sam goes to Dylan's party to make up with Carly, but once there discover, of all the humans the Decepticons have enlisted the aid of, Dylan is the biggest. He kidnaps Carly and puts a little Decepticon on Sam, telling him to discover if the Autobots are planning any attacks, and the bot will record what goes on around him, and if he disobeys, Carly will die.
Sam goes to see the Autobots off, finding Epps working at the base they're on, and asks them if they're planning anything, managing to be subtle enough to tip Optimus off. Optimus says they're just leaving, and they do that, but their shuttle is shot down mid-air by Starscream, and all the Autobots are thought dead.
Sam then convinces Epps to help him track down Dylan and rescue Carly. They discover they are in Chicago, and so them and a bunch of Epps's mercenary buddies go there.
It's then, however, that the Decepticons decide to lay waste to Chicago, just cause they feel like it. This gets most survivors out of the city so we don't have to worry about collateral damage in the big climax.
On the outskirs of the city, Epps and company seem to think all hope is lost, but the Autobots show up, surprise! It was all a ruse and they escaped from the shuttle! They all head into chicago for a big melee as Sam and Epp's team attempt to rescue Carly, and Megatron and Sentinel set up the space bridge once more, this time to transport the entire planet of Cybertron into Earth's space, destroying Earth, but making it so they can rescue a certain amount of humans for slave labor, and rebuild their world. Wheeljack, the gadget gizmo, and Mirage, two new characters, are the remaining Autobots who die in the ensuing battle.
Carly is rescued, and the others try to blow up the space bridge beacon from afar, but their plan fails as that building goes down, as seen in the trailer.
Sentinel gets pissed at Megatron, telling him he doesn't work for him, and pushes him off the building, where the weakend Megs simply can't get up.
Starscream confronts Sam, who manages to use on of wheeljack's weapons to actually kill him. As Starscream picks Sam up, Sam shoots him in the eye with this grapple gun, then sticks a bomb in his chest. As Starscream flies away, he goes kablooey.
Wheelie and Brains manage to sneak aboard a Decepticon ship and use it to destroy a lot of their enemies.
Optimus fights and kills Shockwave, using his laser blaster to take down the beacon. The main piece of it falls in front of Sam, who goes for it but is confronted by Dylan, who fights him. Dylan gets shoved in front of the thing, which distintigrates him. The army guys come and blow the little contraption up, just as Cybertron was starting to materialize.
Meanwhile, Optimus fights Sentinel, and is losing big time, until Carly, while the Sam and the guys are off in the above paragraph, goes over to the fallen Megatron and teases that now he'll just be working for Sentinel. It works, and Megs gets up and fights Sentinel with Optimus. Optimus takes his acid gun the he used to kill Ironhide and the Twins, and uses it on him.
And here's where things get really stupid: Megatron then says that he wants peace, and Optimus allows him to take all the remaining Decepticon forces on a journey back to Cybertron.
Amidst the ruins, Sam and Carly, who in the middle of the battle were finally able to tell each other "I love you," (tell me if THAT doesn't sound familiar) are sitting next to Bumblebee who produces a gasket ring and forces Sam into unwittingly proposing.
Optimus's closing monologue: In any war, there are calms between the storms. There will be days when we lose faith. Days when our allies turn against us... But the day will never come when we forsake this planet and it's people. For I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to the universe: We are here. We are home.
THE END.
Love the whole thing. This will be the best one of the trilogy.

I've been trying to look for the Transformers Rising Storm TPB on Amazon, they used to have it but not anymore. Is Transformers Foundation the TPB for Rising Storm? I'm confused. ???
Foundation is a whole other miniseries.
Foundation (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Foundation) is about the budding rivalry between Megatron and Optimus, while they serve under Sentinel Prime.
While Rising Storm (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Rising_Storm) is about what happens on Earth between RotF and DotM
So I guess the DotM novelization is out, and a lot of people are saying, based on the book, that this movie should be much better than the first two. One review on Amazon stated that it even changed the way the person looks at Optimus Prime.
EDIT: Run Time!

Even if it's the shortest one yet, it's still more than enough running time. :)
Yep, I think so. Don't want it to outstay its welcome. Although, if they added more time to it, I wouldn't complain, either :P
If they do a Blu Ray trilogy, I may actually get it. These movies, despite being terrible, are amazing fun.
I dont care what any fanboy says, I'm pumped for this! I loved the first one and tolerated the 2nd. But please please let Megatron whoop some ass in this!

I hope he will. A lot of robots are supposed to die in this, after all.
Thank god. Thing I hated most about ROTF was someone was meant to be more badass than Megatron. That shit don't fly with me.
I'm fine with that in theory, but I was upset that the Fallen didn't even get a single kill. That's what got me upset about it...
The Fallen was a shit villain.
What really bothered me was how fast he went down. I mean really just maybe what? 5, 3 minutes of screen time.
I liked the Fallen in concept, but his execution was terrible. He deserved better.
About Megatron being badass:
Spoiler
Sentinel kind of slaps him around in the novelization, right up until the end, when he...saves Optimus Prime. He does do some pretty awesome sounding stuff though. ;)

I'm pretty certain it is.
Bay's, Shia's, and I think Rosie's, too.
Though, I wouldn't mind a Avatar-styled CGI prequel done by Bay, taking place on Cybertron, without people.
I'd take another film with a different director.

When you say that, do you mean sequel, or reboot?
Either.
They could reboot the series like in seven or 8 years from now. Either make it closer to the G1 series or do a Beast Wars movie.
A Beast Wars movie would never work, as, keeping the basic plot, it would be 2 hours of CGI characters talking and fighting each other. Audiences would never watch such thing.

No, Fitz, these Transformers movies do have people in them. They don't really have characters, but there
are people.
Point taken. So audiences will watch an hour and a half of CGI talking and fighting but not 2 hours?
Hur.....
'S not the point.
The existing Transformers films work because they have humans in it. A lot of the audience needs to relate with the humans.
A Beast Wars Movie wouldn't give that chance.
And only hardcore fans would watch it.

If a Beast Wars movie was made then I'm pretty sure that Bay will likely have nothing to do with it.
What I mean is, given how the TF looked in Bay's films (his own design ideas), a similar approach might be used for the sake of keeping it the same.
I love the Animal designs in the Trilogy, so something like that for a Beast Wars movie could be really cool.

I'm thinking a few during credits scenes, like the first two had. But knowing Bay, after the credits the whole world will blow up. It is the last movie, after all.
I liked the new TV spot. But Sam's chihuahua better be in the movie, too.
Not if Bay still finds dogs f**king funny.
Yeah, the chihuahua was better as a solo act in the first one. The second dog was added in the movie for nothing other than humping. At least the chihuahua actually helped with a bit of the plot Transformers.
EDIT: I just realized the dog in the video as Mikela's dog. Wonder how they're going to explain that...
EDIT 2: New Linkin Park Music Video, and it gives us our first (I tihnk) good look at Megatron.

It's a homage to the son of Ferrari's founder. It was also the codename of the 458 while they were designing it.

Yeah, the chihuahua was better as a solo act in the first one. The second dog was added in the movie for nothing other than humping. At least the chihuahua actually helped with a bit of the plot Transformers.
EDIT: I just realized the dog in the video as Mikela's dog. Wonder how they're going to explain that...
EDIT 2: New Linkin Park Music Video, and it gives us our first (I tihnk) good look at Megatron.

Did it?
He had the dogs pain pills on him in the junkyard. That gave the cops another reason (on top of the "stolen" car) to take him in, and thus they got the recording of him mentioning the car being alive.
It wasn't necessary, but it did do a little bit of something. More than the second dog in ROTF, at least.

Well, its Bay's last film. If there is a fourth, he won't be directing. At least, that's what he said.
And as for Fox leaving, Bay said it was because of a disagreement they had. Megan said she just didn't want to do it anymore. And today Shia said this:

Oh, predxeno, when you mention after credits scenes, you mean the during credits stuff, right?

If you want to get that technical, then yes. There have always been scenes
during the credits in the previous 2 films, but never directly
after them.
She thinks Bay exploited her yet she did Jennifer's Body...sure Fox, keep trolling.
I think all the credit goes to Shia for that trolling incident :P
So the Ferrari 458 Italia is going to be called Dino, not Mirage.

For some reason I'm not as pissed off as I should be. I think the name Q suits the Mercedes Benz-E550 considering its role as the Autobots inventor and its robot mode design. But I'm disappointed for the former not being called Mirage. I always thought that name suited the character.

He probably had to bully her to get any level of emotion out of her. A good actress should be able to, you know, act without getting bullied first. But then she was never there for her acting ability to begin with.

I got the impression she was complaining about her body being shown off in a provocative manner.
That as well... but i'd say it's got more to do with Bay being a dick.
Having problems showing off her body. and doing it anyway.. just reveals she's definitely not the first person to do shit she doesnt like for money...
Bay being a dick was the last straw probably.
She's a fool if she thinks she's getting parts on account of her acting abilities.
Yep.. she doesnt have many films in development on imdb right now... ;) ..but it's safe to say she knew what she was getting into when she quit the movie... however.. she did get good reviews for her part in that Passion Play film with Mickey Rourke though.. wich was surprising. May prove not be a completely hopeless case after all?
definitely not making any bets on she getting an oscar soon... :laugh:

First off, the Fallen was a obscure char. When I first heard it I thought it was about the dead being avenged. The term 'revenge' is one of the most overused things for a sequel. Couldn't it have just been TF2?
I would love to see a re-edit of Transformers movies where they remove most of the human scenes, watching the first two back I think it could be done without ruining the story. Hmmm?

The Beast franchise is separate entirely. Why would you?
Yes, Bumblebee hasn't been in any Transformers media after G1 and before the Motion picture.
And he wasn't even in the running for an appearance in Transformers: Animated until the movie proved successful and brought the character back from the dead. His role would have gone to Hot Shot.

They're not programmed to one side. They're not all super uber liyal to their cause. Look at Armada Starscream, for example.
Brains has an Einstein-look to him, but so does Que (the Mercedes). Are they supposed to be related?
Spoiler
Never makes mention of it. Also, until the movie's out and "Q" and "Dino" are said on film, they're Wheeljack and Mirage to me. Those other names are terrible.

Same. Those names are utter trash. I was looking forward to seeing the movie when they were still being called Mirage and Wheeljack.
I saw the trailer.
Looks terrible. Just terrible.
And yet...I can't look away.

Does look better than RotF, though :)
No.

Actually thninking about this topic makes me wonder if its just another part of Michael Bay's misinformation campaign. It happened in ROTF because at one point Sideswipe was called "Stinger."

Stinger was just his on-set nickname before his regular name was applied/cleared for use.
Blackout from the first movie was called
Soundwave
Grimlock
Vortex
Devastatorand
Incinerator (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Blackout_%28Movie%29#Notes)
all during different parts of production.
Wow. I feel like vomiting now.
You probably have some kind of stomach virus then. Finding out that sometimes names in movies get changed isn't really something that should cause vomiting. I could recommend a good gastrointestinal doctor if you need one.
If you're going to give an irrelevant Decepticon the name of a major character, yes it can induce vomiting.

In all fairness, most of the characters in these films wind up pretty irrelevant. If you're a robot and your name isn't Optimus, Bumblebee, or Megatron, you're most likely screwed for screen time anyway. >_>

Yes, it has been designed to conceal half of Megatron's face that was blown up by Prime in ROTF. In the novel, he has small transformers resembling magggots moving in out of his face and slowly repairing the damage and by the end of plot his face is almost fully restored.
Plus, did anybody catch the shot of Bumblebee throwing aside Soundwave in the Linkin Park Iridescent music video.

I'd say the effort is about even.
"I have a funny accent and my name is Ironhide!"
Guess which one I'm talking about.
Has anybody played the game yet?
I don't think the game has even come out; it does tomorrow.
I saw someone on my PSN list playing it earlier.
It's pretty much WFC with a movie veneer. If your experience with WFC was a pleasant one, then you'll probably like this one. If you're one of those players (like me) who seemed beset upon by frequent connection issues and horrible game-breaking lag, then it's more of the same.
As long as you don't mind losing Escalation mode and individual faction campaigns.
Or don't mind Shockwave never speaking or transforming.
Or the campaign being crazy-short.
You had me at "pretty much WFC" :P
Been hearing it's a poor man's WFC.

I wouldn't call any of those movies intelligent fun; just fun. Maybe some aspects of Men In Black, but the others... not so much. Just because something isn't insulting your intelligence and comprehensive ability like Transformers doesn't make it 'intelligent', really.
All great fun/funny action/sci-fi/comedies though.
May not make it intelligent but at least it doesn't feel like it's dragging your IQ down with it.
Thanks for the tl;dr version. :D
Yeah, I can agree with what you said, Sweeps.
By intelligent, I mean well written, makes sense, great characters, and like Doom said, they don't drag my IQ down. :P

Why are people backing Fox on this? People are turning this into a Jewish/Nazi thing instead of a business thing. If an expendable actor/actress is talking shit about the director, that's bad business. She wasn't important to the story at all. If she's causing trouble, she doesn't belong on the set. Simple.

Hope you are talking in general because i didnt say anything about Nazis or Speilberg being Jewish.
How i saw it she wasnt simply trashing the guy she just said that she didnt like how he worked on set vs what she saw outside of the set. It seemed like she couldn't have a personal opinion about the guy. Which..... funny enough... makes Speilberg seem like Hitler.
She turned down a free tour of the pyramids, and never showed up to a dinner held in her honor by the king of Jordan.
You'll have to excuse me for not feeling bad for her when her attitude bites her on the ass.

I was talking in General. There are lots of large companies that would fire an employee for publicly dissing their superior. It's not good for further business and it creates difficulties and tension on set. She wasn't the Ripley of Transformers, she was eye candy, thats it. Getting rid of her won't hurt the film, but will help the set. Seems like an obvious decision to me.

And if this is true then i lost a lot of respect i had for Spielberg.
Why are people backing Fox on this? People are turning this into a Jewish/Nazi thing instead of a business thing. If an expendable actor/actress is talking shit about the director, that's bad business. She wasn't important to the story at all. If she's causing trouble, she doesn't belong on the set. Simple.
I totally agree.

Just watched that 17th TV-spot.
Prime wields a fking Axe! I'm ready for this!!
After hating the first movie, I never saw the second one ... I have a friend in the French press who's seen it, well, she was never a fan to begin with and didn't like this. I don't know if I will ... the second movie worth a glance?

Compare to the last two movies, it seems like this one is the best in the series.
Can't wait for all the fanboys to cry over this film and go on for another couple of years about how shit Michael Bay is. Me, I'm gonna watch this knowing what it is, big robots kicking the shit out of each other, and I know I'll like it.
Just 5 more days. ;D

I'm getting my ticket for the movie soon. I still doubt this will be the last movie, the movie is going to break some more records and if the rep is good then they will try to force to make more movies.
My friends and I pitched in some money so we can see it in a huge group and in 3D with loads of food. :laugh:

I'm glad that I work at AMC, I get tickets for free.
I won tickets to see it on Monday, so I'll post how I feel about it after I get home.
I am sure my thoughts will be good ones.

Even my friends who like the movie agree that the final battle was terribly shot, but what did you think of the forest fight? In my opinion, despite the first being a better film, that was the best scene between the two. It was the one fight that actually tried to make yo care about who won.

The forest fight was the reason I saw the movie at all. Thankfully it was the most well shot fight I'd seen in either film. I could ALMOST always tell what was going on. Other than that, the action was pretty dull.
Hope the action scenes are comprehensible in this one. :-[
Can't wait to see T3. I really hope the 3D is gonna be as good as they say because most of the 3D I've seen in movies was pretty worthless.
3D is pretty worthless... a gimmick that distracts from the storytelling most of the time. A way to get just a little bit more of your money by throwing things at the camera every chance they get.

Yeah. The visual effects team is clearly doing a damn good job. They just lose most of their great work when they have to track it into the shaky, incoherent shots... those poor guys.

The only part that really messed with me was Bumblebee's little fight against Ravage and Rampage.
I liked his fight with Ravage (Especially the Mortal Kombat fatality), but Rampage was a bit choppy. And so was Optimus vs The Fallen.
The 3D should be better then most 3D movies now since a lot of 3D movies where just 2D movies that where later switch to 3D on the last minute.
I know a guy who's obsessed with the original G1 cartoons. He saw the first movie, hated it and says only stupid retards liked it. He said the second was the same. Now he says he's going to see the third one, just so he can complain. Because its his "job" as a G1 fan.

I heard that the third one is the closest to G1 as you can get with Bay's movies.
Trust me, he won't like it. He complained about the allspark. And The Fallen. Not because he thought they were executed bad, but because they weren't in G1. Thats what brought the films down for him. Ideas that weren't in G1.

Oh...So I take it he didn't like anything post G1?
I watched season one of G1, it was cool, but you would be lying if you couldn't tell they were just 20 minute toy commercials. And the movies are two hour toy and car commercials with explosions and models to bring in a little extra cash.
The Fallen was in the comics, he was the original thirteen Transformers created by Primus before betrayed his creator. I saw nothing wrong using the Fallen and my only issue with him was that he could have lasted longer in the film.

Yep, but the good ol' nolstalgia goggles blind them from that. People talk about how bad advertising is, but that's all Transformers was originally. The movie existed purely to sell more toys.
A lot of 80's cartoons created characters to sell toys. Look at TMNT and He-man for example.

oh shiiieeet, pooped my pants, this is going to be so awesome, i am seeing it on monday.
Glad they're making Optimus f**k shit up again like in RotF, those were the best parts of that movie, and probably my favorite thing in the series as a whole.
Total film just gave it a 3/5. RT considers it positive.
The verdict in that review is that it's better than T2 but not as good as T1, and they don't like the Megan Fox replacement.

I would love an action packed drama. Those are the best kinds of summer movies, the ones with well thought out stories and characters.
If the TF movies delivered in the drama and story as much as the visuals, they would be fantastic movies.
I read that there was a promotional website for the Transformers movie that says Sector 7 is responsible for all the Transformers toys, TV shows, etc. and used them as a way to conceal the real facts about the Transformers. Does anyone know what the name of that site was called or have a link to it?
Not sure if that site is up anymore. It was used to promote the 1st movie.

I grew up as a kid with G1 being my most beloved thing in the world. I went back and watched them again from the start and TBH I couldn't get through that much. Some things are best left in your minds as fond memories, and to revisit will often taint it. I think it was smart for the movies to move away from G1. You could never do it the same and the purists would only bitch even more that it was trying to rip off G1 but got so much wrong blah blah blah. Too many people expect far to much from these films. If they could go into and take it for what it supposed to be, they might actually enjoy them.

I just don't like Bay's approach is all. Much as I enjoyed the first film, it had its flaws.
My only objection to Transformers 2 was all the excess characters, they had enough transformers in 2 to put in a third, fourth, and fifth Transformers movies. I have a bad feeling this one will have to many for me.
I read that they are actually better characterized here than in the previous 2.
That isn't saying much
But at least they are better.

I swear, I'm like one of the only ones on this board that doesn't have a problem with the action. I could always tell who was fighting who.
You're not alone I really never had a problem as well. Only Bumblebee and Rampage kind of messed with me but that was it.

Badass, all of it, and that poster of Prime is intimidating as f**k.
Quote from: Darkbladepred2.0 on Jun 27, 2011, 06:15:51 PM
QuoteOptimus Prime is finally depicted as the badass robot warrior fans of the animated series remember him as, and his battles here are the best he's ever had in the trilogy.
...Did this guy see the first movie, in which Prime straight out owns a Decepticon in less than 2 minutes?
Or the second film, in which he f**king takes
three Decepticons, killing one of which and damaging greatly the other two before finally going down?
Optimus as anything but a badass in the first film. He got his ass kicked by Megatron the entire time.
His fight with Bonecrusher in the first movie was pretty badass though.

I agree they should be equal, but that's classic filmmaking. The villain always overpowers the hero.
He got in a few good blows. Problem is it always happened in the background.

I forgot about his fight with Bonecrusher; he did kick ass in that scene. I understand that Megatron needs to be a bit stronger, but a fight is boring when one person completely dominates the other. The one thing ROTF did right was even the playing field a bit. The fight between Prime and Megatron in the forest was great because both could hold their own.
yeah, gd i am looking forward to wednesday!

It felt too one sided still. As it's been said, Megatron absolutely demolished Prime in the first film, then Prime went on to whoop 3 deceticons at once until Megatron came up from behind. I'm just sooking because I'm a Megatron fan.
As far as the action goes, I could see every headbutt, every lunging knee and every other martial art movie they pulled off perfectly. I really didn't find it that hard to follow. The fights in AVPR were 100 times harder to follow than these. Not that that's saying much.

Looks like I won't see the movie until next week. The movie has been sold out to buy tickets until Monday and 4th July is my little sister's birthday.

We can cover up giant robots on the moon.
We can cover up giant robots fighting in Los Angeles.

Haha. They did a great job at covering up the Mission City battle, and went as far as to change the city's name to Los Angeles, just so no one would make the connection with the giant robots :P

I agree. Megatron was treated rather poorly in ROTF.
EDIT: That "Carl Fake" guy is a douche.
Megatron got the shaft in ROTF. He needs to be the main villain; he just stood around most of the time. I'm hoping he is treated better in DOTM.

And the action is very easy to follow this time around. I personally never had a problem with the last two, but this one is definitely easier to watch.

As I seething hater of Transformers 2, I need to know something; how much of an effort do they put into an actual story structure or emotional impact from the characters' actions?
Also, is Megan Fox's character's disappearance mentioned in the slightest?

Apparently Megan dumps Shia's character, as it's mentioned in the movie. And one of the little bots calls her mean or something.
I felt an emotional impact during some of the scenes myself, I can't speak for everyone else. During one certain Autobots death, and when Sam has to say goodbye to the Autobots. I won't give away where, but it was pretty emotional to me. Maybe it's because I've liked all of the other films. I don't know.
Well I liked TF1 enough (though I couldn't comprehend much in the fight scenes), and TF2 made me almost walk out of the theater. I've been hearing that this corrects the wrong-doings of TF2, and improves upon what the series started out as in TF1, so I believe I'll be seeing this. Hopefully I like it, going in with an open mind.

Screw rotten tomatoes.
People are just giving it bad reviews for the stake of hating the film. It's like some people just want to see and review the movie just to bash it. Who cares what RT thinks on some movies, movies like this for example. I mean Rambo (2008) has a lower rating then Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008) after all ;).
You know RT is just an aggregator. You can make one on your own PC; you could even make one with a sheet of paper and a pencil if you want to do the math. You mean 'screw anyone with a bad opinion of the film.' Had the consensus been good then no doubt RT would be good to your eyes.

You shouldn't compare movie-to-movie unless you're counting the number of reviews given to each. They won't be equal. Remember, the site's only an
aggregator for reaching a consensus from off-site reviews.
but most people only join the website so they can have fun by bashing every movie. like the dislike button on youtube.

That's not reflective of RT's function as an aggregator. YT is very useful; its users are usually assholes. Same for RT. The like/dislike bar is as useful as IMDb - anyone can spam it. With RT you'll get a collection of professional reviews from multiple sources. I'm not saying that the majority is always right, but their opinions should certainly be weighed if they come in such force.
Any review site aggregator shouldnt be taken as gospel but sites like Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes are generally spot on. Sure youre gonna have alot of unfair reviews in there and some douches just trolling with their reviews but when a film has hundreds and hundreds of reviews and the majority of them say the film is crap, then im willing to bet theyre probably right.
I really liked the first film and I enjoyed Revenge of The Fallen even though it was bloody awful to be honest so im looking forward to this. If its getting mixed reviews with some at either end of the scale then it probably is alot better than ROTF which generally just got universally panned.

RotF was chock full of jokes that weren't funny, action that, aside from the forest fight, didn't really carry and weight and you hardly got to actually see, a bunch of robots whose role in the story was meaningless, an ending that felt incredibly rushed and anti-climactic, and just... no.
The first movie tried to be a movie. RotF tried to be a collection of pretty pictures and action scenes, and even failed at that.

Like failing?
ROTF, even from an action stand point, fails compared to the first. The film literally stops dead after Prime dies, and for an hour its nothing but National Treasure: TF edition. Then when it finally gets to the final action scene, it becomes too focused on stupid shit like transformer testicles. Megatron and Starscream stand around, Prime is still dead, and the only fights are with Decepticon red shirts. The only fight I can actually remember is when Bumblebee fought some guy. That's it. At least in the first, the final battle focused more on the actual transformers.

Except that there are no critics there. It just takes reviews from around the world and uses those to see what the general opinion is. RT itself doesn't do reviews. Seems kinda pointless to get mad at them. Sorta like getting mad at the news for reporting a forest fire.

The Twins weren't completely terrible. The were funny at times, but mostly were just stupid. They shouldn't have been main characters. I would have much preferred Ironhide and Rachet make the journey with Sam, Bumblebee, etc. The Twins could sty behind and be occasional comedy relief with funnier jokes.
And the balls, like most of the other sexual jokes, were completely out of place and not funny at all.

Hmm? I'm not saying I loved them, just that they didn't need to be completely cut. Just toned down and funnier. And on screen less. :D
Nah, man, it was their characters in general.
Unless their ears suddenly shrunk and they did more readin'.
Well ,in that case, the concept of comedic characters isn't completely pointless, just these "comedic" "characters".
Maybe if Bumblebee could talk, he could be a little funny every once in a while. ::) I don't see why he couldn't talk in the first place, or at least in ROTF, considering he was fixed.
His more subtle comedy in the first one was the best comedy in the series purely based on the fact that he didn't say anything. The car stuff? The best.
The blackbots with stereotypical black voices were just embarressing... Jazz? C'mon, what a stupid-ass character. Guy goes on the internet and becomes Blacksloitatiotron.
Megatron and Optimus were always cool as shit, and that's how the the Transformers should be. I'm not saying they should all be totally un-funny, there were some funny lines from the more serious ones like the Medic one (forget his name) saying "The boy's pheremone levels suggest he wishes to mate with the female..."-- now that was pretty funny, and the character wasn't a complete f**k-up face-palm inducing Transfarcer.
Yeah, Rachet's line about mating in the first one was hilarious, but then Sams mom's joke took it too far. And ROTF took it even farther ::)
I'm hoping for less, or at least better, comedy in this one.

Might see this tomorrow.
My main problem with movies like this is that while I want to just enjoy the mindlessness, the filmmaker inside of me usually forces me to notice the deficiencies. That happened with Battle LA. Usually a movie that is mostly good I can forgive, but a movie that just has one, albeit large, drawing point just diminishes in my mind.
Now I want to draw meme based Transformers but I don't think I have the patience to do all the details and mechanical parts I do love a challenge though. :laugh:

Hugo weaving is the perfect choice for every villain ever
I miss when Megatron just turned into a German hold-out pistol and Starscream had to shoot him.
I'd pay to see Weaving voice a Mauser.

Just got back from seeing it, and I can say it kicked major ass. Not a fan of the second one at all, and I found the first one to be flawed, but enjoyable. I was pleasantly surprised with this movie, and actually found my self pulled in by most of the plot. The Autobots seem to have a more solid role in this one, with more development.

Still, all I've been hearing about the comedy is that it has been toned down and isn't as forced as the second one's.
It definitely felt that way to me. I cringed constantly during the second movie, and only some parts of this one felt forced. Alot of it was genuinely funny.

He's just an honest moviegoer who doesn't insult anyone (unlike you) and just acts like that in his videos. And I like his style, since most video reviews tend to bore anyone to death. I can't see how you can consider him a douchebag.
quite enjoyable deffinately better than 2 but slightly worse than 1 but not by much 3D imo was not needed which is sad really whith the premise of seeing alien robots kick ass in your face but one thing that bugged me
Spoiler
bay said shockwave was the main villain so why does he show up for about 15 mins into the film only to dissapear till the last part of the film? i did like the hints/easter eggs for nemoy like the star trek episode you see and sentinels line about the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few i lol'd a little at that

the fact that a tiny blonde girl convinces Megatron to help is just shocking!
i felt very disapointed with the villains in this movie , concretly with megatron. i was waiting for a badass motherf**ker and i saw a poor megatron tired and boring.
i didnt like movie ending because was a little confuse.
but this movie is far better than 2º part
but not too many better than the first movie.

i loved him, simmons and j. malcovich too, i repeat it they are awesome , in transformers 4 (if someone do it)
the must to return !, and wheelie and brain too, they were the true duo funny-autobots that we should had have in the 2º part, not mudfllaps and skidss ... pfff
Just saw it.
My thoughts:
I liked it a lot.
The story was serviceable enough for a Saturday morning cartoon, which is basically what this is. The dialogue had a lot of ridiculous one liners ("Decepticon Punk", "Class dismissed") but hey, it fits the material. The premise was fun and coherent, more than I can say for the second movie. The characters are two dimensional for the most part, but I can't say I didn't like most of them. I didn't like Simmons, Jeong's character or the two mini bots, but I liked the CIA character, Malkovich, Tudyk (who gave me one of the biggest laughs in the movie), the guy who likes Carly, heck, I liked Carly. I didn't think she sucked at acting, I thought she was perfectly fine. LaBeouff annoyed me a bit, because for a good portion of the film he acts like a dick to everyone, but he sold it enough and got better as the film progressed.
I was finally able to tell the robots apart, mostly. They were given adequate intros and the action scenes were actually coherent. More on that for a second.
Nimoy has so much fun with his role. I bet he cracked up in the recording studio shortly after giving his 'needs of the many' speech. He, Cullen and Weaving probably had a blast.
Megatron got the shaft, but I was good with it. Making him more important just because he has a fan base would not fit the movie. He's worn out and a shell of his former self who still thinks he's on top. I liked that.
Now, the action.
Almost every action scene was completely memorable. I want to see the movie again just for the action. Bay calms down with the shakey cam to give us some breathtaking visuals. The flying scenes were great, the Starscream stuff, the building stuff. It actually had weight, too, because there were high stakes. There's a scene where it looks like everything is going to end badly, and we actually care. Well, at least we're supposed to, and if you've seen a movie like this you know how the scene's going to end, but it works anyway.
The audience applauded 6 times, and each time deserved it.
The 3D was unbelievable too. Good 3D... it's been too long.
I liked the music also. It was like a mix of the first Transformers soundtrack and the music of Inception. I'm talking about the OST of course. I can't remember the pop songs on the soundtrack.
The bad now:
The humor in the first half, while not as intolerable as the second movie, did reach irritating levels at times, though to its benefit the humor mostly works.
Sam's parents, the mini bots, Jeong and Simmons annoyed the heck out of me. They try to hard to be comic relief, but they're just annoying.
The laws of physics are disregarded most of the time. While the action is good enough to let you forgive it, I couldn't help but think several times "No way they survived that" and "That's just too convenient." But that might just be me.
All in all, it's the best Transformers movie. The first one, I only liked the first two thirds of it, before it loses all comprehension. The second one, I didn't like at all. This one, I'm behind it all the way, annoying moments aside.
Overall, I'd give it 8/10.
And see it in 3D.

"How did you know he was a Decepticon?"
"F-18s don't wear alligator shoes."
That was such a horrible line.
8 minutes later THEIR planes were flying that low.
Who wrote that script, a goldfish?

That's awesome. Sums up my thoughts, though I'll admit I liked the fact that it had a plot, as simple and formulaic as it was. As opposed to TF2 that had no plot.

Can somebody explain why the humor in the first part of the movie was so bad?
Terrible writing?

It was forced, and relied a bit on gross out gags some times.
This movie's a crowd pleaser, based on the reactions in my theater. It's going to make a ton of money.
I'll be off to see this in a few minutes
Here's a good review that acknowledges that regular audiences and critics will view the movie differently:
http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,2080587-1,00.html (http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,2080587-1,00.html)
Gonna go see this tomorrow. :)
What annoys me is that while there are plenty of reasons to have negative opinions about this movie, a lot of people are saying they don't like that it's too effects driven. While story should be king, visual effects are still art made by people, and if they elicit an emotional response from audiences, why are they bad? Besides, if a story is driven by visuals, then the visuals are in fact telling a story...
Of all the reasons to not like a movie like this, the visuals aren't the problem.
Feel free to disagree. I'm open to hearing other opinions about this, as it can lead to some interesting discussion.
Ok. Just saw this Last night.
Awesome movie!!!!
I just have a few problems.
Number 1.
Where the hell was Megan Fox!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Number 2.
Where the hell did some of those Autobots come from? Did they just come down from space between movie 2 and 3? Also, some of the Autobots from the second movie weren't there. wtf?
I just gotta say this though. There are a few things about the Transformers movies that I really love.
1. The total badass action and fight scenes. Which are quite frequent.
2. The humour. Humour is just scattered all throughout the films. Even more frequent than the action sequences.
The humour at times is not family friendly which I quite like. Just makes them film even better.

That is not a problem. Quite to the contrary, it's one of the reasons I actually want to see this one. From what I hear, her replacement is incredibly more tolerable and likeable.
I actually couldn't stand her as much.
I prefer Megan Fox.
Plus she is dismissed why saying "She dumped him" and never spoken of again.
After all they went through.

I'd pay to see the movie with a blind fold on so long as I didn't have to listen to those f**ktards voices.
I'd pay for a remastered bluray of Trans2 if they'd digitally replace their goofy ass treasure troll lookin' mugs and replace them with a blank Cobra Commander face plate and redub their voices.
Oh and Devastators wrecking balls have to go as well.
Is there anything after the credits?

On her not being mentioned again though, simple. Fox pissed Bay off, he wanted to write her out quick times. End of.
In 7 hours I'll be kicking back in my large recliner chair, with waiters bringing me popcorn and drinks while watching this in brain popping 3D.

So I just got back from this...
Everything that can be said has already been said. So I'll just say my personal thoughts. Yes it is DEFINITELY better than RotF, and in my personal opinion the best in the series. Oh,and the 3D? Don't skip out on the 3D for this one the extra price is definitely worth it. This is definitely not going to win any awards (except for probably the visual effects, sound effects, and maybe soundtrack which as usual kicks ass), but if it did win any it would be for funnest movie of the summer. Watch it with a group of friends because thats how I did it,and it was so much better than it should have been. It gets a 9.3 as an initial score, it'll probably change the second time I see it when I go to Colombia in a few days but I doubt it. 8)

Yeah, Megatons death was a bit underwhelming. As was Starscreams.
I reckon some of those generic Incepticons got better deaths than those two.
So.....anyone know if they are gonna make a fourth one?
Michael Bay and Shia Lebouf have said they wont return for a fourth movie but considering how much moolah these films make I cant see the studio just leaving it at that. They'll just get another director and come up with a new story with a mostly new cast like Pirates of The Caribbean did.
Nothings confirmed but its safe to assume a fourth film will come.
i loved it, the Citizen Kane of explosions. the movie is also hillarious, and the jokes are not stupid like the last film.
Spoiler
Megatron and starscream died fittingly, what was it that you didnt like about their deaths? i thught it was awesome that sam actually killed one of them. Ironhides death was weird, He was supposed to be Optimus best friend but they never even mentioned it.
also, i didnt understand this:
Spoiler
after sam killed starscream, he and lennox landed on Bumblebee, and a few scenes after that, bumblebee was captured.
Imean the deaths in this movie was really sad and horrible i am talking about
Spoiler
when all those random civilians get executed and when Que dies, that was a gut-wrencher for me.

Seriously, why do I open spoilers!?
I'm such an idiot.
Ah well, gonna' see it at some point anyway.
Should be fun.
So I've seen the film twice already even though I found it to be pretty meh the first time around. The seond time I struggled to stay awake during parts of the film including some major action sequences. However, during this second screening I encountered some supermassive plot holes:
Spoiler
That Watch
Early in the film we are told that the major cities and places of importance are surrounded by "energon detectors" in order to alert the authorities when a decepticon is near a major military base or city. We see these detectors in use in several instances throughout the film, yet when Sam is forced to wear a Decepticon spy watch that is listening in to his every conversation never is an alarm raised despite the fact he walks through military command centers and attends a NASA/ Autobot space launch, with the spy bot listening in on every conversation. Surely that whilst on the brink of war with an alien race places such as military command centers would up their security rather than decrease it.
Also, when the Autobots are seen to "die" in the spacecraft why does the decepticon spy watch suddenly jump off and run away? Surely it would be useful for the Decepticons to have ears on the inside, listening to military plans of action. Hell, why did it even leave Sam alive? The thing was tapped in to his nervous system! I mean, shit, Sam's only the guy that's helped prevent Decepticon world domination on TWO occasions!
Optimus' Plan
So Optimus' big plan is to pretend to leave Earth and thus somehow let us humans see just how much the Autobots are needed. Now this is not so much a plot hole but just unnecessary stupidity. I mean Optimus simply hides for 15 hours allowing the Decepticons to not only conquer a major city but completely eradicate the majority of it's inhabitants. In teaching the humans a lesson by "letting them see" Optimus pretty much allowed his enemies to kill thousands of innocents and root themselves in the environment. Hell and if you think he did it for the element of surprise why does he practically allow the Autobots to announce their presence immediately by rushing to rescue a single human life when he should be destroying the Stargate that would ruin the Earth? I mean this is the guy that sat back while thousands died just simply to teach the humans a lesson and now he's up in a fuss about some guys girlfriend he doesn't know. What a super plan that turned out to be.
QuoteHowever in Transformers 2 a long dead Megatron was brought back to life using the spare parts of other Transformers without the aid of the matrix-of-boris, so why is it so imperative for Optimus to use this device and revive Sentinal? Why not simply sacrifice one of the tens of transformers, that litter the moon, for spare parts and revive him using the same means that were used to revive Megatron in TF2? That would have allowed the Decepticons to invade earth decades before the Autobots even arrived!
What allowed them to do anything with those spare parts was the fragment of the All Spark they stole early in the movie. So nope, just pasting random parts on Megatron didn't do the trick. They
needed the All Spark's "magic touch" in order to make the resurrection work.
Yeah, it was a vital point I was missing. I was missing it since I simply haven't seen the second film since it's cinema release and have no desire to put myself through that film (or this one) again. Cheers for the heads up. I still think my other two points stand.
Is it just me, or is the second TF movie completely unnecessary for watching TF3? You have to see the first one, but the second is only mentioned briefly ("I saved the world twice", "...Egypt...") and never in a way that affects the story.
TF2 revives Megatron. That's about it.

i agree with everything you said.
I loved it. It was a huge step up from the other two. I feel like Bay & Co listened to the fans as much as possible and incorporated what they could into this without changing the feel of the franchise. For example, the action is so easy to follow. Every robot is identifiable. No racist stereotypes. Minimal stupid humour. No roboballs.
Truth is if you hated the others with a passion, save your money. If you thought they were decent or good, this movie is for you. Megan Fox's replacement made me forget all about her. Like a lot of people my main gripe was
Spoiler
Megatron. What the f**k did he do in this movie. I was so excited every time he was on screen only to see him do nothing. The only noteworthy thing he did was save Optimus only for him to turn around and get all Predator on Megatron's ass. Guess it just annoys me as a Megatron fan.
Are there plot holes? Yes. Does it all make perfect sense? No. Is it completely over the top? Absolutely.
If you were expecting any answers different to these then you don't belong in the cinema. Go see it for what it is, and enjoy Bay's last Cybertronian visit.

yeah thats what i thought first but then i realised that humanity kinda had it coming for casting out the auto bots, now i know that when i put it like that it sounds like optimus is kinda evil, but i noticed all sorts of thins after the ovie, especially with optimus. He has grown, and he is more mature, more like a soldier. he dont have time to mourn the death of his best friend (ironhide) and whn Magatron asks if they can work together, he takes an axe to his head. he is tired of negotiating, of being the wise and kind. he is just pissed of and he have had enough. and maybe it just took time to get from the atlantic ocean to california, or maybe he wanted mankind to face the facts and actually have to rely on him. there were many characters that had matured, especially sam. he kills a transformer all by himself, and in the end, he actually straight up murders a guy. great movie, unexpected depth.

So Simmons got rich between movies. OK.
I just went along with there being a NEST team. I didn't need an intro, it just made sense.
Egypt- again, never contributed to TF3 other than the occasional "I survived Egypt" line. So they had adventures between movies.
Energon- science jargon for 'I sense giant robots', never needs to be explained.
Matrix of Leadership- I don't remember the way it was introduced in the second movie, but I went along with it here.
The only thing that can't just be accepted without reason is Megatron.

I am a person who appreciates the continuity of a series of films, knowing that Transformers script has its holes.
you can not skip chapters at will by the simple fact of seeing things unnecessarily, I repeat it before:
if you want some things sound like Chinese like :
Matrix of Leadership can revive other transformers for example
is your opinion
but if you are looking a "perfect" continuity you MUST watch all movies.
ELEMENTARY
I really liked this film and I liked how they gave almost each Autobot in this movie their moments. The highway chase and subsequent battle alongside Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Megatron and Sideswipe vs Sentinel Prime are by far the best action scenes in this series.
Going to see this in an hour!
Just saw this yesterday at the 7:30 showing. The movie is the longest out of the trilogy, with a total running time of 2 and a half hours. I was expecting another ROTF, just a film where you're just watching explosions and robots fighting, no real plot or emotions. I was pleasantly surprised. My only real problem was the ending. It just sort of...ends.
But, all in all, I loved it, and I'm eagerly awaiting the DVD/Blu-Ray release.
The music kicks ass.

This was, without doubt, the best thing about the third film.
2 1/2 hours!!!! :-\
Does the end hint at another?
its over. With the way it ends, the trilogy is over. Bay says he doesn't want to do another, Shia doesn't want to do another, its pretty safe to say its over.
Just saw it, not as good as Revenge of The Fallen and I have nitpicks, but otherwise it was very enjoyable especially since it was my first 3D movie on the big screen.

QuoteShe explained: "I first met Michael back in 2009; it was on the set of the Christmas commercial for Victoria's Secret. I remember the first thing Michael said to me - before he even introduced himself or asked me my name — was 'Can you walk?' And I looked at him like, 'What is this man talking about? Yeah, of course I can walk.' And then he proceeded to tell them to get me in the car, and then I was driven - I mean, honestly, I want to say it was about half a mile out in the desert. I kept thinking, 'This is a joke, right?' And the car dumped me in the middle of the desert.
All I was wearing was a bra and underwear and a big, billowing, black, floor-length cape and high heels. And he says, 'OK, when we shout action, you're going to walk!' And I assumed I would be doing this in several stages. They yelled action, and the car sped off back to set, and I just was like, 'Well, what am I supposed to do?' So I walked all the way back to where the camera was standing, which took me — I would say a good 10, 12 minutes, and it was a proper runway stomp — on salt flats; it was like 100 degrees, felt like fire. I remember walking back and being not impressed by the whole thing. I was pretty pissed off afterwards; I just looked at Michael, and he goes, 'I guess you can walk, then.'"

its over. With the way it ends, the trilogy is over. Bay says he doesn't want to do another, Shia doesn't want to do another, its pretty safe to say its over.
That doesnt mean a new director couldnt come up with a new story with new characters. Pirates 3 seemed final but it was easy enough to do another. The money this series makes, I would be more surprised if they didnt make another film within the next 5 years. If they do they'd be wise to leave it for a few years first.
It seems, though, that Bay specifically made it so a sequel couldn't be made.

Shockwave is dead, Megatron is decapitated, Soundwave was blown to bits, Starscream had his head blown apart, all the major, or atleast named, Decepticon characters died. Nothing left but drones, and even they retreated back to the ruins of Cybertron.

Well yeah, compared to the last movie this had too much human talking and not enough war in it.
mmm this 3º movie had war
and if you see all master pieces of cinema of the universe you will see human talking
war scenes is not too many important if that was the important transformers saga would be like "the godfather"
-.- peace, please, not at war
If the studio want another film, they'll get another film. Theres plenty of bullshit ways to bring back characters and theres plenty of other characters never used in the films. If they demand it, they'll get it.

Too much human talking? Do you mean plot? Do you mean actually taking the time to tell a story rather than just showing a bunch of pretty pictures?
Comments like this... I just... Blehergargh.
I know summer blockbusters aren't known for their deep characters most of the time, but don't you think it's worth investing in them just a little bit?
Quotewith nothing but useless drones?
I'm guessing trying to absorb Earth or something like that.
QuoteToo much human talking? Do you mean plot?
No, I'm pretty sure I mean humans talking.
QuoteDo you mean actually taking the time to tell a story rather than just showing a bunch of pretty pictures?
We've had two movies for that.
Quotebut don't you think it's worth investing in them just a little bit?
Unless it's supposed to be in the drama genre no I don't.
So you want 2 1/2 hours of robots smashing the shit out of each other with no reason behind it, no basic plot, no dialogue, nothing?
::)
Is there something wrong with wanting to be entertained?
Just got back from it, man that shit was intense! Out of the three, this is the best one imo. There was a lot more character development and emotion.
This is the first 3D-move that didn't leave me with a headache! ;D
Too bad

So I've seen the film twice already even though I found it to be pretty meh the first time around. The seond time I struggled to stay awake during parts of the film including some major action sequences. However, during this second screening I encountered some supermassive plot holes:
Spoiler
Optimus' Plan
So Optimus' big plan is to pretend to leave Earth and thus somehow let us humans see just how much the Autobots are needed. Now this is not so much a plot hole but just unnecessary stupidity. I mean Optimus simply hides for 15 hours allowing the Decepticons to not only conquer a major city but completely eradicate the majority of it's inhabitants. In teaching the humans a lesson by "letting them see" Optimus pretty much allowed his enemies to kill thousands of innocents and root themselves in the environment. Hell and if you think he did it for the element of surprise why does he practically allow the Autobots to announce their presence immediately by rushing to rescue a single human life when he should be destroying the Stargate that would ruin the Earth? I mean this is the guy that sat back while thousands died just simply to teach the humans a lesson and now he's up in a fuss about some guys girlfriend he doesn't know. What a super plan that turned out to be.
Spoiler
yeah thats what i thought first but then i realised that humanity kinda had it coming for casting out the auto bots, now i know that when i put it like that it sounds like optimus is kinda evil, but i noticed all sorts of thins after the ovie, especially with optimus. He has grown, and he is more mature, more like a soldier. he dont have time to mourn the death of his best friend (ironhide) and whn Magatron asks if they can work together, he takes an axe to his head. he is tired of negotiating, of being the wise and kind. he is just pissed of and he have had enough. and maybe it just took time to get from the atlantic ocean to california, or maybe he wanted mankind to face the facts and actually have to rely on him. there were many characters that had matured, especially sam. he kills a transformer all by himself, and in the end, he actually straight up murders a guy. great movie, unexpected depth.
Spoiler
If he has grown at all then it's into a murderous tyrant. Normally "growth" and "maturity" imply that he considers himself above the insults of few. Hell, the guy spends the entire film talking highly of humans and about the chance that they deserve but sits back and allows thousands to die to teach a few politicians a lesson about tact. These don't sound like the actions of a great leader imo. And once more he will sacrifice thousands of innocents but destroys any element of surprise when he allows the Autobots to go on a side mission to save the single life of some guys girlfriend he doesn't know when he should be focusing all his effort on, y'know, destroying that stargate and saving the Earth. I mean, that comes off as pretty conflicted to me.
He'll sacrifice thousands to make a point but wont risk one to save the Earth. ;D
Spoiler
If they didn't pretend to leave, They would have been forced to leave anyway. They had no choice.
And can I just say something?
Not gonna lie...
The scene where this track played, if you've seen the movie you know what I'm talking about, almost had me in tears

But they could have simply pretended to leave AND still made an attack on the assaulting Decepticons long before The Beef and his motley crew even arrived. But instead he and the others simply hide for 15 hours in order to teach us humans a lesson. That's pretty much his motive by the word. Why else would he say "We had to make them see" (ie. we had to make the humans see life without the Autobots). Those are not the words of a good guy. Those are the words of a guy willing to allow his enemies to gain the upper-hand and kill thousands of innocents to make a point!

No because you make laughable facepalm inducing statements such as "too much human talking".
Got back from seeing this about an hour ago, it was everything I expected but so much more too.
It is certainly the best of the trilogy, and it went places I didn't expect it to go. It made me ask myself "Are they gonna do this? They are? Wow." It's pure entertainment the whole way through but there's actually characters this time, characters I cared about and rooted for, and characters I wanted to see gone.
Obviously not everyone is gonna see it like this but I did, I loved how huge they made it, they sent it out with a massive Bay-sized-bang and I thought it was brilliant.
I thought it ended a bit abruptly but other than that, not many note-worthy complaints at all. The cinema laughed when they were supposed to laugh and the atmosphere was brilliant when the tension rose, and they clapped when
Spoiler
the Autobots returned
which was brilliant. The mood was just fantastic the whole way through and I'm certainly anticipating the Blu-Ray.
9/10

i'm not comparing -.- i'm telling that in THE best movies ever there are not only booms, there are argument and people talking .
if you like just explosions and for that reasons you are thinking that the 3º is better than the 2º ill give u a present

and you wana a comparation ?ok indiana jones 4 for example too many action and cgi for a cience fiction movie , because yes , indy 4 is an adventures science fiction movie you know , this is the weaker movie on indiana jones saga , and is a "present movie"
you only need to ask yourself, when someone dies in transformers you are sad ?
you feel sadness?
i didnt feel it
its a great action science fiction movie , better than 2º because in this movie we have not got an bionicle super powerfull telepatic villain , because sam parents are not drugged as the 2º , becaus twins autobots are dead !! yes , we dont need then , we have wheelie and brain . they are better and funniest, and a better script ( without a perfect ending and villain, i think im megatron's fan, i would like a "super assasin megatron") with an historical argument like apolo's mision.
YES, I SAY IT,
TRANSFORMERS 3 DARK OF THE MOON IS FAR BETTER THAN TRANSFORMERS 2 THE REVENGE OF THE BIONICLE.

But we aren't shown to "have it coming". The only people that are shown to have any kind of disdain for the Transformers are the politician types and a single chat show host (Bill O Reilly of all people). That's it.

And that doesn't make him the hero the film very much wants you to believe he is, nor does it excuse his actions. It very much makes him just as much an enemy as the Decepticons themselves. When your hero sits back and openly allows mass murder to simply make a point that makes him a dick, not a hero. Also, his actions are incredibly inconsistent. One minute he'll sacrifice thousands of lives to make a point and the next he's unwilling to sacrifice one in order to save the planet. I don't even...
I get the feeling that no matter what hole I uncover in Optimus' actions you'll still reply with something like "Woo yeah, Optimus is awesome cause he allowed the death of thousands and displays an inconsistent logic! Woo!" :P

The Fallen does not look like something from Bionicle. Even if he does I don't see how that's a bad thing.

QuoteNo because you make laughable facepalm inducing statements such as "too much human talking".
In a movie about alien robots fighting each other why would you care about the humans? Most movies in existence have those, if you want human characters just watch something else.
'If you pause to consider for a second, not one of these characters is actually required in the conflict, which is, after all, pretty much between the bots'
Quoteok indiana jones 4 for example too many action and cgi for a cience fiction movie , because yes , indy 4 is an adventures science fiction movie you know , this is the weaker movie on indiana jones saga , and is a "present movie"
It's the only Indiana Jones movie I actually enjoyed, you'll need to come up with something better.
Quoteyou only need to ask yourself, when someone dies in transformers you are sad ?

'If you pause to consider for a second, not one of these characters is actually required in the conflict, which is, after all, pretty much between the bots'
This sums up the whole trilogy.
This guy makes me laugh. Seriously. Roger Who?
Ear shattering? It's Giant Robots having a war in a CBD, it wouldn't be a fkn Charlie Chaplan dance, of course it's loud. Fork out the money for a decent hearing aid old man and maybe it can filter out some of them loud harsh sounds.
Here's the corker:
QuoteThe series exists to show gigantic and hideous robots hammering one another. So it does.
Noooooo shit. What exactly was he expecting when sat in his seat, a drama involving a power pole technician?
He goes on to say that the humans are not required for the battle that takes place.
Spoiler
Perhaps its time to hang up the gloves old timer, because it seems your decaying brain can no longer retain information from a movie that extends pass the two hour mark. Anyone that has seen the film will note the amount of decepticon deaths, including major characters, that were taken down by humans. Seem pretty important to me.
This is not a film for everyone. I can't stress that if you don't like these films don't go and see the new one because it is all that was good from the first two films with some extra goodies thrown in for your viewing pleasure.
There is a generation gap with this film that I think most old people simply won't "get" which is why this films tagline should be No country for old C*nts.

This is why film critics give me the shits. Someone pays angry trolls to give their opinion on every film that comes out with complete disregard to taste in genre.
Most critics have an inflated sense of self in which they believe that their opinion actually matters. Perhaps it does to the lowest denominator in the gene pool that are completely incapable of forming an opinion, and rely on others to validate their existence out of fear of being ostracized for not conforming to the norm.
If I wrote a review on Hana Montana or something along those lines, any 14 year old girl that took on board what I had to say is a complete moron, because I'm not the target audience and those sorts of films do not appeal to me in the slightest. That's why we have the term "target audiences". Having an 80 year old nobody reviewing a film that is based on Robotic toys from the 80s is completely redundant and to me has no weight whatsoever.
Then again, that's why I completely disregard critic reviews and see films that appeal to me, then decide once the credits roll if this is a film for me.

Anywho, being the cinephile I am, I'm going to see this again, as I do with every film, to see how it holds up. And honestly, I'm pretty excited to rewatch it. I'll probably go sometime next week with my old man, who's a big fan of these films

Ah! There's many criticisms that can be leveled against the guy... definitely.. but i cant fault him for fighting against the critical consensus from time to time.... Dude has an opinion and fights for it.
What annoyed me about this review in particular, of Tf3, is that he sited poor video transfer as a reason he disliked it.
What was Shockwave's role in the movie? I thought he was going to be the main villain, but now that...
Spoiler
Sentinel Prime is the villain
...what was the point of having Shockwave there?
So on the flip side...the Transformers flicks (and many others) should be labelled.....for brainless young scrots only? ;D

For a guy thats seen so many movies are you honestly trying to tell me that you've never watched a film and left your brain at the door? You've never been dazzled by the visuals, felt a quiver in your stomach from the audio? You've never seen a translation from your childhood and thought "wow that was awesome!" or are you trying so hard to be a critic that you need to conform and hop onto the "f**k Bay" bandwagon. You don't have to like this film. No one has to and I can understand those that dont. But don't go and see it knowing you won't like it only to come and trash it to people who did.
If you do go and see it, be a real movie critic with you're own brain and form your own opinion about it. If you go with a certain expectation of what this film will provide then perhaps you need to manage those expectations.
You give a lot of reviews around here mate, dont fall into the trap of forming an opinion before seeing the film based on "respected" critics. You're a big boy now mate, time to fly from the nest.

No, I don't think I have seen a translation of a film from my childhood that I thought was amazing, not of the top of my head anyway. Yes I have left my brain at the door for many films in recent years and many of them are just very average despite that, without trying to hark back to the old days but I have seen many films where the brain was left in the car and they are now cults or classic but that's down to use of much imagination and craftsmanship, I/you appreciate the film so much more because you know what your looking at has been made/sculpted/built etc.. carefully by people and its real (key word), the cgi monster does nothing for me thus many new films rarely do anything for me either.
On occasion I see a film that does impress, said before but 'Priest' impressed me as it showed allot of nice thought/design work and it looked very sharp indeed, nice and 'Blade Runner-ish'. From what I heard and saw I would of put money on it being crapola.
Bandwagon? no, you think that because I'm one of the only people here who sometimes gives negative reviews for many of the big films which of course stands out, thus you think I'm trolling or being miserable and old hehe. Dare I say that its actually many of you guys that jump on the bandwagon I think, the bandwagon of simply liking a flashy new film because everybody else does? everybody says its cool, it must be good because its got lots of explosions and cgi in it. Nothing wrong with liking a film like that but some of you guys seem to love anything and everything that comes along, you need to see past the flashy showboating cgi at times.
I do think its an age thing though to a degree, when I was in my teens I liked many films that now I think are just rubbish, many Jim Carrey, JCVD and other action/fantasy films I used to own and watch all the time but nowadays there's no way I would own them or watch them as often.
I didn't know there was a 'f**k Bay' bandwagon but he's not really impressed me other than 'The Rock'.
Oh and I form my opinion of the new TF film simply from the previous two hehe this is how I'm pretty sure I know what I'm gonna see BUT I will still go and see for myself and if there is anything I like I will say so but you know when you kinda get a hunch about something ;)

I wish I had. I might actually see it again at IMAX just to see the big screen. The 3D is nicely used as well, not pop up in your face usage. Enjoy ;D
I'd love to see it in IMAX if the closest one wasn't an hour and a half away.

I'm sure it will be good at IMAX, but not 3-hours-traveling good.
Saw it in 3d. Actually really liked it. The story is better than the first two but not great. But for once the film never really irritated me like the first two often did(especially the second). The climax goes on for a pretty long time, but that can be a good or bad thing.
The 3D was awesome. I urge everyone to watch it in 3D.
So it's not dim as shit like all other 3D movies?

It was ok. Dragged on a bit IMO. The vehicle Shockwave got around in was pretty pathetic. Overall...I guess it was better than a poke in the eye with a blunt stick.
Nice lol!

Well there goes my explosion quota for the month. ...nah it's not enough. :D
http://m.io9.com/5817618/recycled-bayhem-transformers-3-reuses-a-chase-scene-from-the-island (http://m.io9.com/5817618/recycled-bayhem-transformers-3-reuses-a-chase-scene-from-the-island) eh!
Just watched this and it was less than I expected. Lame humor and some decent robot action. It was better than ROTF, but not quite up there with the first movie. Carly was a decent replacement for Mikaela and she was smoking hot (except for when she was starring mindlessly into the air).
As been pointed out already, Optimus behaviour was kinda f**ked up. If he wanted the element of surprise, maybe he shouldn't have wasted it the way he did. Not to mention his comment at the end ("We will never abandon these people and this planet", or something like that) didn't really go well with his earlier actions.
I didn't like how they were cracking jokes at the end of the movie. Yeah, don't mind all the people that got vaporized or your friends that just died. Just having a fun time, right? Bay said that they had learned a lot from the second movie's mistakes, but I guess that didn't go a long way. At least the Twins where gone and the parents cut down to a short amount of screen time.
I would rate this 6/10.
The editing kind sucked in parts, had a lot of lame humor, but better the the 2nd movie. So did any one else fill like Dark of the Moon kind made the second movie kinda make less sense than it already did. Like correct me if I am wrong but didnt they want to kill the sun in the second movie so why would they do that if they were planing for 50yrs to take over the earth in Dark of the Moon?
Another thing that bugged me...
Spoiler
If Sentinel Prime was planning on betraying Optimus, why the hell didn't he accept the Matrix of Leadership when it was offered to him? Couldn't that have been helpful? :-\
I thought that to so once again many different plot holes like the second which in the last battle did starscream get killed by sam but show up later in the battle?

Wow, the movie was awful. I can actually understand why Megan Fox said she left because of the sexist views of women; all the new girl did was scream. The novelizations are the only good part this franchise has to offer outside of the 1st movie. However, I like the part where
Spoiler
Optimus rips off Megatron's head and spinal column Predator-style. ;D
So I was just skimming a review, and it said that Alan Tudyk's character is awesome. Can't wait, because I love Alan Tudyk! :D
And I am going to go in with absolutely no standards, and will probably end up liking it the way I liked the first two. Just dumb, entertaining movies to watch with friends.
The tagline for the whole series should have been "People fall from high places and are caught at the last possible second" because that's most of what I remember from the three films :P
Unicron will appear in the next movie and revive Megatron into Galvatron. A few other dead decepticons will be brought back.
Well, I'm done with this thread...That's the thirds time I read spoilers today... :-\
Please, people, use spoiler tags.

Oh? Terrible movies? You like AVPR, I mean what the f**k? Even ROTF was better then that pile of sh*t.
Just saw it and I must say, it had its ups and downs. Basically it was two movies mashed into one film.
The first half was semi-decent, nothing brilliant or amazing, but your normal cheesy hollywood flick.
Then the second half gets down and things start getting pretty exciting. I must say, visually I saw some stuff that really looked better than many things I've seen before on screen. There's so much badassery that at some point you just end up staring at the middle of the screen, hoping you have caught the angle of the screen that has most action in it.
But then the most pathetic thing happens that I've probably seen in a long time in a movie (apart from all those logic holes that many people just mentioned before in the thread):
Spoiler
The ending is just utter nonsense. What I mean it's written and shot terribly. The movie ends like 10 seconds after Sentinel Prime's Head is cut and Optimus is about to give us an epic monologue... but instead he barely says one sentence and before the camera can zoom out properly you already see the Credits... I was totally thrown of the track. Just ridiculous. I was waiting for some kind of "this is a joke" capture... so stupid!!!

In my opinion, AVPR was loads better than this movie and ROTF.
You wouldn't know a good movie if it came out of your mouth and raped you.
Seriously, what does this movie have that AVPR doesn't? The whole movie is pretty much guns, shooting, explosions; there's like no character moments at all. AVPR at least has room in the movie for other stuff besides violence and gore; it has as few character moments (albeit you guys may not think much of them), but at least it gives you time to breathe between battles and doesn't make the entire movie just 1 endless fight.

You realise theres only like 2 fights in the first hour and a half of the film right?
You mean Transformers Dark of the Moon? Well, yeah. But, the majority of the film is the finale which I thought was pushing it too far. AVPR at least properly proportionalizes all its action, it doesn't overdose it completely.

Wait, what?
AVPR:
Can't see anything.
Retarded Predator.
Stupid physically deformed Aliens.
Idiotic wooden characters.
Crappy, annoying dialogue.
Set on Earth thus creating a plot hole the size of Nebraska.
ROTF:
Bad story.
Fallen looks sh*t.
The twins.
The last fight scene.
The cons of AVPR far outnumber ROTF's, but not only that, it crippled a franchise. Transformers passes over ROTF and continues on, the magic of the entire franchise is that it continually reboots itself.
AVPR
Can't see anything? Get the Blu-Ray.
Retarded Predator? How so?
Stupid physically deformed Aliens? I thought you said you couldn't see anything.
Idiotic wooden characters? Not as bad as in Dark of the Moon.
Crappy, annoying dialogue? ^
Set on Earth with a plot hole? It was a government cover up.
ROTF & Dark of the Moon
Bad story
Decepticons look like shit
Annoying autobot personalities
Finale fight scenes
Shia Labeouf
Bad dialogue
Corny and unbelievable character moments
Too much action, practically no suspense
I don't even like the last 2 Transformers movies.
Yes, we know, you just said that.
Can we all just agree that Transformers 3 was stupid but full of good effects?

All of AvP:R's were either boring cliches (oh come on, nerdy pizza boy after the hot blonde with the douchey jock boyfriend?) or half-assed copies of characters from the Alien and Predator franchises with poorly placed and acted references. Give me one example of an original character from that movie.

Fine, have it your way; at least AVPR's acting wasn't as bad as Skyline's.
Yeah, thats like saying "at least drinking pee is more appealing than consuming feces."
Yeah, pee at least has more nutrients while poo is just toxic waste.
I'm gonna chime in here...
I loved AVP-R when it first came out. I had been looking forward to it, and I enjoyed the heck out of seeing these rubber monsters fight each other. Obviously, it was a stupid movie, but I enjoyed it anyway because it was catered to me. I don't usually like obsessing about the designs (granted, the aliens were relatively bad looking) and it worked for me.
On repeat viewings, my enjoyment of it has faded.
Partly because of the fact that it is, in fact, a bad movie.
Partly because of the fact that Predators blew it out of the water.
Partly because I've grown as a filmmaker myself.
But mostly because of the internet's reaction. Reading enough people whining about every little detail really kind of ruined it for me.
Predxeno has a right to an opinion. We all disagree with it, fine. But stop tearing him apart for it. That's just ridiculous.

That is not the point, and you failed to see what I meant, or just chose to ignore it entirely. What I am saying is that just because something is better by comparison doesn't mean it is good as a whole.
I get your point, just want to say my point is that this film is way deeper in the dump than AVPR (in my opinion, of course).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izkEkiF5hmw#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izkEkiF5hmw#ws)
I saw it.
Vast improvement in tone from the last. The Decepticons felt dangerous this time, not like bufoons.
The direction is also much better. You can tell Bay has grown accustomed to shooting these films. There's a confidence in the way he films his action here that wasn't present in the last two. No shaky cam. Whether this was because of working with 3D or not, who knows.
The score is easily the best of the three. There is an extra layer up epicness added; it contributes to the improved tone.
The film has way too much filler. All the stupid comedy with Malkovich and Jeong just pad out the running time. This dragged the film for me. It's a shame, if all those comedy scenes had been removed, we could have gotten a tighter and more engaging film. Instead we get another bloated mess. A legitimately good Transformers film exists underneath all this fat.
Once again, the Autobots lack characteristics outside of Prime and Bumblebee. What the first film has over both these sequels is that it gave more time to the Autobots.
Spoiler
Megatron got completely shafted this. Here he's just a moper, a shell of his former self. I can understand where they could be going with character wise, but it's not played out at all. He went out like a total bitch, didn't even stand a chance. This goes for Starscream and Shockwave as well.
Overall, a much better film than ROTF. But I still like the first film the best.
About Shockwave
Spoiler
I disagree on the note that had it been just prime he would have won but it took everyone firing at once, at least 4 syringes and Prime to take him down after he and his worms had caused a helluva lot of shit to go down.

Shockwave had more face time than Starscream in this movie.

Yep, I think you're right.
This film was just so bad.
I struggled to sit through it.
Aeus You should have come back to chat huol and I were waiting mothaf**ka.
I found it the same as the last 2 films narrative wise.
Good for robot battles and that's about it.
My Internet failed so I had to watch it on my own.
I think half my brain died.
Apparently the movie got an A on Cinemascore from audiences. So much for critics in Bay's world.

Wow, the movie was awful. I can actually understand why Megan Fox said she left because of the sexist views of women; all the new girl did was scream. The novelizations are the only good part this franchise has to offer outside of the 1st movie. However, I like the part where
Spoiler
Optimus rips off Megatron's head and spinal column Predator-style. ;D
Oh? Terrible movies? You like AVPR, I mean what the f**k? Even ROTF was better then that pile of sh*t.
In my opinion, AVPR was loads better than this movie and ROTF.
These people have saw AVPR and ROTF followed,

I know man. Just as you're getting into that Peter Gabriel era Genesis type music -SPLAT!-
Did anyone notice Shockwave spoke english when he first showed up. He said "Optimus!"
In that one part he spoke english his voice sounded almost like the cartoon voice.
Then all the other times we see him he is just speaking alien latin or grunts.
I saw it today.
This film is one big WTF. Better then ROTF, but still. Stupid, stupid, stupid and no Megan.
The ending should have been...
Starscream convinces Megatron to kill Sentinel Prime and the climax should have been Bumblebee vs Starscream, Megatron vs Optimus.
Its what the fans (of this series) deserved.

I enjoyed the film as much as I liked the first two. I was never a huge Transformers fan so the changes the filmmakers made never bothered me. But I thought it was once again dumb fun. The effects were first rate and the performances fit this type of movie. Everyone was just having a blast. I loved how Prime had a more darker edge to him in this film though. He shot first and asked questions later.

Absolutely wonderful. I love the concept artwork.
It's a shame there aren't any artbooks for either of the Transformers movies.
Probably because all the geewuners would call blasphemy. I think those designs look great.

We see more of Starscream's treachery in the EU; that's kinda good enough for me.
The artwork looks lovely but unfortunately nothing like a Transformer.

Not really that big of a deal to use stock footage from other films very briefly to merge into your own shots. It probably happens alot more than we realise. What is a big deal is that Bay has now had a scene like this in three of his films.
First in Bad Boys II with the cars rolling of the back of the lorry, then in The Island with the huge metal train wheels (I think thats what they were) bouncing off the truck into the road. Now hes done it again with robots causing the carnage. Plus there was a short scene in the first film on the highway which was similar.
I dont think hes running out of ideas he obviously just really loves a bit of mayhem on a motorway and its becoming a bit of a signature for him alongside the rotating, cameras at the sky, characters looking up shots.

I think people are really overreacting on this recycle of two shots from The Island. My God, it's not like Bay copypasted whole sequences. Two shots, people.
Spoony actually had some good things to say about this one, and he hates this series with a passion.
For Spoony to say a TransFormers movie has three good minutes, that is saying a lot.
So I am slightly less skeptical of this one.

i only want to say 1 think if only are 2 shots he could made them ¬¬
its not dificul be original
Never heard of stock footage in the other two films. Have you got a source?
And damn, you guys are way overreacting and judging him as a lazy ass for two f**king shots. And it's no obvious when seeing the film.
I HAVE to see this movie again. Honestly, the first time I saw it I was so tired I barely remember anything. All I remember are some major plot points(Who dies, the ending, some of the twists, etc) and some sequences. I remember I liked it the best out of the trilogy, though.

I don't think being tired has anything to do with that
It does for me. I tend to have trouble remembering what I do when I'm tired.
I remember the first 2 films well, I was awake for both of them. The third one, Yeah, I just have trouble remembering some sequences.

1aircraft carrier scene from t1 i heard that is from pearl harbor
2when hundreds of decepticons rarrive to earth in t 2 he shows the scene of t1 where we onle see 4
(optimus rachet ironhide and jazz arrival to earth scene) and others i saw but now i cant remember it .
in t3 you know in this case MB copy paste his strong point, he is always critized because his films have only booms scenes.
if those booms scenes have copy paste what we have ?
??? :-\ its my little opinion like an spectator, i just would like that MB showed all of us his talent without recourse to scenes of movie file and used in clearly recognizable i thing that is not necesary T3 could have had that moment as new

He reused a scene from Pearl Harbor in the first TF movie too.
Green Hornet made the list. That's amazing considering it wasn't well-received.
It was #1 world wide for a while until summer time around May. It was the first movie to gross over 200 million, a sequel to that movie is likely.
Looks like I will be seeing this movie on Thursday. Late but I should see it until the new Harry Potter movie is released at my IMAX and I would have seen it by now if it was not sold out on it's first week.
Seeing this in a little over an hour!

Because Fast Five is a continuation of a large, well known franchise with a decently sized fanbase among general audiences, and because its cast is for the most part big time starts?
That top ten is a pretty poor line up of films if you ask me geez! only 'Kung Fu Panda' was any good in my personal opinion.

People are into car racing then a movie about a Thunder God. Rio did better then Thor because it's a kids movie that got good reviews and has a good cast of actors.
Also, Fast Five is part of a well established movie series. Not to mention that it was supposed to be pretty good.
Went and saw this again. Loved it more the 2nd time. These films really remind me of the popcorn action films from the 80s. Really over the top and stupid but never tries to be any different. I think the problem with these films is that they really are a throwback to those films of the 80s but many fans expect it to be a sophisticated modern action film.
Spoiler
Megatron stopping mid fight to call a truce was still a bit WTF. He could have offed both Primes and his victory would have been complete. I guess it shows an older general thats tired of the war and just wants to rule his throne. Still should have iced them both.

I agree with everything you said. There will most likely never be an end of good cinema, as you said. But there are, and always will be, popcorn flicks, such as Bay's films.
Popcorn flicks been around since the 50's since the giant monster movies from the 50's where just as hated as the Transformers movies are now. Maybe the TF movies will be view as cult classics in the future.
I doubt it. The Godzilla films are laughable to the general public, the Transformers films will be to.
The original Gojira film from 1954 got mixed reviews and was often called a special effects film at the time. Now it's view as a cult classic and voted as one of the best films in Japanese cinema.
Gojira had drama and plot though.

Perfectly said. I think with a lot of superhero movies of today, they blend story and spectacle. As an audience we've been spoiled by films like The Dark Knight and Ironman. This wasn't always the case though. Burton never captured the pain of Bruce Wayne in '89 Batman. It was dumb fun in a Gothic setting. It was darker than we'd seen the Dark Knight on screen before, but was still very campy. Compare that with the Nolan films and the characters are laughable. Batman was always a dark character that carried the pain with him, we just needed a good story to show this.
Transformers was a toy commercial. Nothing more. Stories were fleshed out as they went along to sell more toys. The 86 movie wasn't "deep" with emotional drama. It killed off toys to make way for new toys. People go into these films expecting some profound message and to be rocked on a cerebral level. These films stick to the source material and give a dumb action flick. If thats not your thing, I'm surprised that you like Transformers at all.
The popularity of these films alone show that dumb pop corn flicks still hold their own in modern cinema. And that's something they don't need to apologise for.

epic!!
Hmmm must hold my tongue here :-X
Transformers....like 80's action flicks!!? mmm no sorry but no, most 80's flicks were dumb yes but they at least had a decent main character with REAL live action and normally for adults which was usually better, TF is just infantile with glitzy effects.
The animated TF movie was indeed very emotional for kids at the time as many were distraught at the lose of Prime (plus other favs), it was big news at the time as I recall, plus it was actually a pretty damn good animated film with great voice work. Its one of the best animated kids flicks around much like the original (and better) Ralph Bakshi 'LOTR' animated/rotoscope film.
I also believe the end of good cinema has come or its close as Hollywood has depleted pretty much all story lines and possible plots known to man, this is why we are getting remakes and reboots cos there is nothing left anymore. The comicbook genre is a lifesaver for Hollywood really cos without it there would be tonnes more remakes I'm sure, or just rehashes over n over (numerous shark, piranha, snake and gator creature flicks for example).
I know many on here will disagree but you ask anyone on the street and I bet my bottom dollar they will agree, you only have to look at the majority of films these days, that top ten for example is prime evidence....
4 superhero/comicbook flicks,
6 sequels, most not needed,
and lets be honest here..all are childish kiddie based flicks as we now have to put up with flicks for the whole audience all the time with more PG whatevers.
The only flick there with any originality is 'Rango', the only flick that is any good is 'Kung Fu Panda'.
Personally, and I know I'm alone here, but that top ten is a good example of todays cinema and whats wrong with it.
(God damn the TF cartoon f**king rocks ass, that 7min clip is so much better than the films lol!)
I don't necessarily agree that all stories/ideas have been exhausted, I just think studios are only willing to back winning horses. They seem to go for sequels, remakes, reboots and reimaginings because these generally fare pretty well and make a profit. There are plenty of good ideas out there that never see the light of day because studios deem them too risky. In todays economy I'm not surprised they don't want to take risks. There are a lot of people who can't afford to see every release and opt for the one they already know about or a continuation of a story they've already heard.
Oh and you don't see Transformers being like an 80s action-adventure popcorn flick?

I can see the influence of all these films in Michael Bay's Transformers films.
^ Matey!! all those flicks are decent/classic kids flicks apart from 'HGB'.
'Goonies' especially, they all outweigh the TF films by miles.
Buddy! I completely agree with you. I grew up on those films pal. Now go ask some 10 year olds what they think of Transformers...

Matey!! ye missed the point old boy, yarrrrr!
...
Everytime Hubbs enters this thread, theres some kind of argument...
...Hubbs has made it clear that he doesn't like these movies...
...Hubbs, why do you even come to this thread
Ah but thats the thing isn't it, yes to little kids these films may be good, I dunno what they think, but I'm talking about people generally above the age of around 15, anything to someone 15 and under these days will be pretty good, thats natural, the thing is TF isn't entirely based for scroats its suppose to be for everyone, hence Fox in the first two.
I find it curious to read what people think of certain films and TF has gathered an interesting side of lovers and dislikers hehe I won't say haters.
Correct again ol' boy. It's a film that is meant to appeal to kids through to teenagers and young adults. Like a lot of the 80s films too. Judging by box office figures, I'd say they succeeded...
Hmmm I wouldn't say the films you put up were for young adults, kids and teens yes. Problem is these new TF films are clearly aimed at adults too and are played out with some semi seriousness, thats whats so cringing.
I would say they would be more targeted at young adults, the ones that watched Transformers as a kid. On a whole, most people in that category liked it.
I'm not talking about the collectors, the die hards or the basement film critics, I'm talking about the young adults that liked them as a child, and left it there. Grew up, and never thought too much about it. Then these films came along and brought them back to their childhood and gave them a dose of flash cars, stunning visuals, beautiful women explosions.
Not everyone over analyses films. Not everyone thinks about them to the level we do. Most viewers generally just watch the film and don't think too much about it. I think you'll find those are the people that not only enjoy the film, but have made the sequels highly profitable and successful.
Hubbs: Advocate of Cinedurr
id agree with ghostface on this, there is a whole collection of toy's that exists on the back of new tf movies (possibly a big reason for the design changes), aimed directly at kids, with the added bonus of selling cars to adults, and a recruitment tool for the us army (well for rotf anyhow).
the problem i have is the fact is aimed at the lowest common denominator, hence the off colour humor, and the trite storyline, it makes great business sense, its easy money, people can take from it what they want, i watched it purely to see robots kicking the shit out of one another, on that level it was successful anyhow.
Oh yeah its good business, shame thats all its about and not the original material.

This makes more sense. I agree that it is the lowest common denominator. Its shiny cars, robots, explosions, cheap comedy, boobs, guns and somewhere along the line theres a story thrown in. I can agree with that totally. My only argument is that it doesn't hide that fact and makes no excuses for it.
In terms of the toy line, well Hasbro
did have a lot to do with the production...
the original was all business as well.
Like ghostface said it started out as a toyline with a storyline tacked on, high art it was not.
^ I know this but the original toon was just better.
So comparing the films Transformers to those transforming cars in the adverts, which is better you think because I've always thought those adverts are miles better.

Now we're getting somewhere. You don't like the designs so you don't like the film?
lol
One reason yes, I hate the new designs accept for Bumblebee, Prime isn't too bad but thats it, the rest are unrecognisable as Transformers or anything really, can't make out where they start or finish and in battle its even worse....BUT I have pointed this out before in my reviews of the first and second films. I do believe its a major problem with the films as the designs are simply too busy and you can't tell who's who.
All my gripes are in my reviews.
Eh.. When i go to see a summer blockbuster i'm definitely not expecting deep or thought provoking sorytelling... i'm expecting to have a lot of fun and get bang for my buck... and so far... i'm not really getting that with these films... yeah there's cool action.. and i love the redesigns they gave to the robots... but other than that it's just mostly consistently annoying and BAD... am i wrong in wanting more out of my entertainment? Eh. Pirates of the Caribbean was more fun, had better acting, more memorable characters and better directing.. and was based on a Disney Ride... a f**king Disney Ride...
Michael Bay and the writer's involved in this are just lazy c**ts :D
I've been finding the new Transformers Prime tv show to be consistently more fun and memorable than the Bay movies... .the writing in that is definitely one of the reasons why... i'll stick to that.
Quote from: Hellspawn28 on Jul 06, 2011, 01:00:16 AM
Popcorn flicks been around since the 50's since the giant monster movies from the 50's where just as hated as the Transformers movies are now. Maybe the TF movies will be view as cult classics in the future.
Hated? Where did you get this from?
At most they were B-movies/drive in movies/Double feature, etc, which were watched mostly by teenagers and such.
They weren't really taken seriously.And this is why they are classics now, people now take them seriously and can see the subtext of a lot of the stuff that was done.
The problem with the Transformers movies is that it's NOT considered a B movie. If i could go to a theater and pay 5 bucks for a double feature of Transformers and Super 8 i would have absolutely no problem with it. But this isnt going to happen, of course, because now B movies dont get released on theaters, B movies are straight to DVD affairs. Anything released in theaters is high entertainment and so on.

Yes this is exactly what I mean but put better hehe these new films are taken semi seriously and as said above not as B-movie fluff, quite the contrary in fact, they probably have hopes for Academy awards and Oscars for cgi effects.

To be fair I never kept up with Transformers after the early 90s so I can't comment on their quality. I do find it funny when I hear people saying the story of the films isn't up to par with the originals. The designs I can understand, because they are a drastic change from the originals.

Ha. I do agree with that about the original G1 series.. it alongside the Bay movies are guilty pleasures at best. G1 is still good fun if viewed through rose-tinted powerful nostalgia lens...
The designs on the Bay films are probably the stuff i love best about them... utterly cool looking.. if i wanted to see G1 again i'd just buy the DVD's...
Btw for those that are interested in Transformers Prime... one of the recent episodes had lots of Alien and Predator references... do recommend ;)

They are aimed to kids as well since Hasbro has spend money on toys, kids books and happy meals for burger king. It's Transformers and TF always been aimed to children.

I saw came back from seeing it. It was good but still far from great. Better then the second movie which is not saying much and neither TF movies where great to begin with IMO. The story was good and the humor was better, the action was great but I feel like everything feel rushed and some parts feel missing in the movie. I wish the other characters like Shockwave and Megatron had more screen time instead of using screen time on useless human characters.
Transformers always been about the robots and I always wish the story should be more based around in the past three films then Sam. I mean in the G1 series, no one really watch the series for Spike or the other human characters. Decent film and I would give it a 7/10.

I didn't see the parachute fall onto his face, and I didn't think they "hyped" him up through the movie. Maybe his driller, but not him.

QuoteWell, before we get into the plot, can you sum up your feelings on the film for people who don't want to be spoiled?
Yes I can. I've seen a lot of reviews that compare the movie to Michael Bay dangling his keys in front of the audience's face, as if they were babies that were easily distracted by shiny objects, but that's not strictly accurate. Imagine Michael Bay staring at you and pulling out his keys once every 10 minutes for 10 to 15 seconds. After an hour and a half, he pulls out his keys and leaves them out for an entire hour. Also, the keys are now exploding.

I don't mind Shia. He was a bit annoying in Transformers (nononononononononononononooooooooooooooooooooooooooo) but I really liked him in Indiana Jones.
Speaking of which, I need to rewatch the Indiana Jones movies soon...

Brotha can have an opinion.
Anyways, just read about the comic book adaptation and apparently The Twins would have been killed along side
Spoiler
Ironhide, when the Autobots were betrayed by Sentinel Prime.
So, you haters can rejoice.

And I liked the movie. Felt very much like the other Indy movies to me. The fridge scene was unnecessary, but the movie really wasn't bad. Anyways, this is the wrong thread for this...
I wish that happened in the film.
Would have made the seriously badass looking dread-locked, dog and tentacle backed Deception do something good. :P

So I just saw this. The action was fabs, as usual, the plot riddled with holes (what else is new) and the humor a bit better than in the second, admittedly. All in all, entertaining stuff.
Except the very end when

Prime killed Megatron in less than 10 seconds. What the f**k, Bay? The main villain of the series and he dies like that?

I was under the impression that the article would be about Harrison hating the movie and thinking it was Shia's fault it "sucked". Turns out Harrison was defending the movie.
Anyways, this thread is about Transformers, not Indiana Jones. I don't really want to get in trouble for discussing this here.
So I'm finally seeing Transformers 3 tuesday! Not expecting much, but the action better be great!
It is. :)

This. God, The Fallen was such an awful villain and making Megatron his bitch was even worse.
I honestly don't know how Megatron got beaten so easily, he kicked Sentinel's ass in some seconds (and he was giving hell to Optimus), and then Optimus Predator's him out nonchalantly. What?
I loved the film anyway. I'd give it a 9. The plot is very well developed this time around. My only complaints are that...
-Shockwave says a pair lines in the entire damn film (one of which in Cybertronian!), is hyped up as f**k, but doesn't find the time to kick properly some ass. He just appears, looks glorious and then BAM, Optimus kills him with hate. I expected more, especially because he looked really badass (and I loved the character in the previous incarnations)!
-Ironhide is killed and not mentioned for the rest of the film... great memorial for one of the most loyal autobots mrh?
-I know the absence of Megan Fox is justified outside the film, but inside it they could've found some better excuse. I would've liked it better if Huntington was playing the same character; speaking of whom, she has a great body and on acting we're on par with Fox, too bad she ruined herself with surgery.
-The aforementioned Megatron demise.
-NOSCORPONOKHOWf**kINGWRONGISTHAT
-Where's Jolt?
And that's it. For the rest I've got nothing to say about. I liked how they made Megatron the shadow of the great leader he was. Turturro was great as always. Dino rocks. We finally get some more screentime for Sideswipe (my favourite from the ROTF cargo). Mecha Shai-Hulud was spectacular. Laserbeak was nice. And in general, I loved the film.
I think people are mistaking some of Shockwaves scenes for another deception.
Spoiler
It took all those guys with guns shooting at his face, a couple (3 I think) autobots, and a few Navy Seals as well as Prime to kill him. That was in itself awesome, but he also commanded his worm things to destroy a whole bunch of shit. He also shot Optimus out of the sky.
OZ, spoiler the death talk man.
Spoiler
And Prime caught Megatron off guard, he didn't even acknowledge Megatron's offer to join together. He jumped up in an instant, forced him to the ground and ripped off his head before he even knew what was going on.

He was killed in one of the comics by Shockwave.
Shockwave...
Everywhere I read and it said he was supposed to be the main villain and he appeared for a fraction of the movie with like 2 lines. He just happened to awaken just in time for this attack too...
To me it seemed like
Spoiler
Sentinel mainly, and megatron
were the main villains
Same with Skidz and Mudflap, though they were killed by the traitor
Loved it, but as mentioned
Spoiler
a little dissapointed in Megatron and Shockwave dying so easy.
Here's hoping if they continue, we get Unicron.

That's why I hated him in the movie. He was perfect in the comics and laid waste to the N.e.s.t base by HIMSELF. He killed six or seven Autobots before Optimus smashed his face in.

Thought that was a pic of Angelina Jolie for a second. Anyways, PPOR.
So, a friend of mine that completely hated the first 2 with a passion for not being true to G1, just saw the third one(though I don't know why)
And, guess what? He hates it with a passion for not being true to G1.
And he's calling everyone who didn't completely hate the film a brainless idiot that doesn't deserve to watch movies.
I think the sad part is he actually says he likes G1 better because "G1 isn't a big commercial for something, unlike Bay's 2 hour car ads"

Because it's completely impossible that some people are just born with large lips, right?
Lips like this?

Extremely unlikely. Look at how much their protrude, and their shape.
So? Some people are born with an extra digit on a hand. Not sure I'd be amazed by pouty lips.

My incredibly terse thoughts at this late hour.
Spoiler
Transformers: Modern Warfare. Holy flying crap, why did they spend so much time on the near-worthless bands of soldiers running about? How many bloody "soldiers running to dramatic music" scenes could they legally allow in one feature-length film? They looked like Modern Warfare models, surrounded by the same nonstop explosions and completely ridiculous set pieces.
For christ's sake they even had a first-person shot of a gun firing up at a decepticon :D and the SEAL-type coming up out of the water (that served no purpose and was absolutely absurd.) Not to mention the American flags waving around everywhere.
Michael Bay is a CoD player. :-\
One more thing, high five if you thought they end earned the credit scene music fail of the year award. llll/
So once again my plans to see this fell through. Now I'm going tomorrow :)

Best part in this movie was the Jetpack Optimus Prime vs. the Driller. The choreography, soundtrack and effects were epic. Loved how they introduced Optimus into the battle, and his line: "I'm coming for you." A bit off-character but nonetheless worked well.

But yeah, Fitz, Spartan113 got it right :) But anyways, finally seeing this today! About time :P One thing I'm curious about. Is Optimus's jetpack Jetfire's old parts? Is it even explained in the movie?
I think so, but no it isn't touched upon. It is formed by Optimus' truckload, as are other things.

Agreed completely about ROTF. I liked it a lot more when I rewatched it a couple weeks ago. I actually liked the "story" a little bit more, too.
And DOTM certainly delivers on the action.
Oh, is it just me, or does anyone else think the bathroom scene

strayed too far into ROTF styled humor? I didn't really like that scene much, despite it actually aiding in the advancement of the "plot"

Yeah, the story itself wasn't crappy. Bay just ruined it with stupid humour. But I'm glad this film delivers on action, which is what I want!
Yeah, definitely. But, if you hated ROTF's humor, you will hate at least one scene in this one (I did), and probably be slightly annoyed during the first half. But it picks up.
Oh, who else loved the way
Spoiler
Sam killed Starscream? I thought it was great, and really fit his character. Only thing, I wish that Megatron and Starscream had a full fight in this one. In the first film, Megatron just seems kind of annoyed with him, then he beat him up a bit in ROTF, I wanted to see Starscream try to get his revenge a little. :-\ Too bad Megatron barely did anything in this one...Oh well, the end with Megatron, Optimus Prime, and Sentinel Prime was cool.

Yes but it is not a master piece,
like mr wolf (pulp fiction) says:
"Well, let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet".
For me the movie of the year is x-men 1º class so far, they made an awesome superheroe movie with an historical basis and that magneto was simply awesome. good director, best kevin bacon that i've seen in year, and good soundtrack too, that "i prefer magneto" theme, omg.
Now im waiting for rises of the apes.
QuoteYes but it is not a master piece
Who the f**k would expect a Transformers movie to be a masterpiece? Of course it's not!
I mean, the most recent movie I recall calling a masterpiece (10/10) is The Return of the King. And that came out in 2003...

Wake up
For example: (I will use Noland because I think all of we know him)
Last Christopher Noland's movies are masterpieces too in their genres and they're most recent that the awesome LOTR saga:
INCEPTION and DARK KNIGHT , they are 100% original and sophisticated with awesome actors, director, and soundtracks.
(Unless we're talking about sagas. you only said the return of the king, that i love too)
Transformers 3 brings nothing new or even his own franchise, unlike X-men first class.
I just say that X-men first class has been the surprise of the surprise so far this year, but even there could be more.
The fact that his first two films were, um, decent, for not to say the least, does not mean that the 3rd would not have been a masterpiece, as happened between Batman Begins and its glorious sequel that I assume we've all seen and left us impressed.
2 movies after, Michael Bay might have given us a lot more substance in the plot, if it's posible that Christopher Noland with Batman give us that sustance, why not with Bay and his awesome robots?
He had his opportunities and knew their mistakes, but not amended
After 3 chances, I dont forgive him, and I become more strictest with Bay , X-Men is the best year so far
That movie corrected the mistakes of others in the X-men series flawlessly
I leave here as a present an example of what will be the film Bay if nothing changes (I think all of we've seen this video before xD)

Actually listen to Megatron's plan, it's just the first minute of this clip.
The 30 year old cartoon makes MORE SENSE that live action movie! It even correctly depicts what would happen when such a huge body is brought so close to the planet.
The 30 year old cartoon makes MORE SENSE! IT MAKES MORE SENSE!!!!
Not only that but go to 5:47 and see a conflicted Optimus ACTUALLY be the one that brings Cybertron to earth!
This cartoon does circles around the idiotic plot of the movie.

SO I was just looking at the episode list for season 1 of the original TV show (the only season I own or have seen) and the plot of this movies reminds me of Spoiler
The Ultimate Doom, since it has humans working with Decepticons, and Cybertron being pulled in t Earth's atmosphere to be fixed by human slaves. Only difference, is that Michael bay blew up Cybertron in the movie :P
But these films arent Geewun WAHHH WAHH. Some people make me laugh, seriously. Nice find though.

Actually listen to Megatron's plan, it's just the first minute of this clip.
The 30 year old cartoon makes MORE SENSE that live action movie! It even correctly depicts what would happen when such a huge body is brought so close to the planet.
The 30 year old cartoon makes MORE SENSE! IT MAKES MORE SENSE!!!!
Not only that but go to 5:47 and see a conflicted Optimus ACTUALLY be the one that brings Cybertron to earth!
This cartoon does circles around the idiotic plot of the movie.

Woke them up from the depressing sleep they've been in? I agree.
The what? 8 month sleep from the last cartoon?
There were even comics and video games being made for god's sake.
Luckily all the crying fans have those episodes to ease their pain huh?

QuoteYes but it is not a master piece
Who the f**k would expect a Transformers movie to be a masterpiece? Of course it's not!
I mean, the most recent movie I recall calling a masterpiece (10/10) is The Return of the King. And that came out in 2003...
Wake me up when someone achieves that level of filmmaking again.
Inception?
Source Code?
Sanctum?
Paul?
It's like you just started to make a joke after the first one. I'm sorry, did you just actually compare Source Code, Sanctum, and Paul to The Return of the King?
Um... yeah? :P
Point is there have been some fan-freaking-tastic movies since 2003.
We're talking about masterpieces here. You know, perfect movies. Not excellent
but perfect. And none of those qualifies.
Inception and a few other films (not in that list) got pretty close though.
I guess I'm biased.

Inception is a master piece
scarhunter92, you sould think that
Inception has much merit, it is not an adaptation, but a work
100% original and complex. awesome direction, actors, plot and soundtrack.
And you have others movies too,
Million dollar baby (2004),
Letters From Iwo Jima (2006), and the awesome
Gran torino (2008) they are masterpieces too by
Clint Eastwood made after
TLOTR:TROTK (2003).
Concept of Inception is no new stuff, it's the execution that is mind-blowingly brilliant. Besides, if Scarhunter thinks Return of the King is the latest masterpiece he's seen, can you guys let him be? Sheesh.

to say that there are not other masterpieces movies basing in his own opinion is be subjetive... , not objetive...
I think you do not understand the difference between these two concepts
the reality is that there are other awesome movies as good as the return of the king, i've just put some true examples.
if I put these examples is that if someone has not seen them yet to know that they exist.
if they want to see other great movies of course
What is considered good is in the eye of the beholder. I could sit here all day giving my opinions on LOTR, except I'm in a Transformers thread. Save your orcs for another end of the galaxy fellas.

Movie of the year for me so far :D.
it's actually a relief to me to see some good comments about this film. i'm liking it.
Yes but it is not a master piece,
like mr wolf (pulp fiction) says:
"Well, let's not start sucking each other's dicks quite yet".
For me the movie of the year is x-men 1º class so far, they made an awesome superheroe movie with an historical basis and that magneto was simply awesome. good director, best kevin bacon that i've seen in year, and good soundtrack too, that "i prefer magneto" theme, omg.
Now im waiting for rises of the apes.
you may want to re-read my comment. i did not mention the word 'masterpiece' once. i just really enjoyed it. xmen however i didn't. personal choice. and your pointless videos, comments and quotes aren't amusing.

Flapping dicks and cum all over.
So I was reading about the movies on IMBb, and found a huge and hilarious plot hole from the first movie. If the Decepticons knew Sam had the glasses on ebay, why didn't they just buy them online? Surely they could have gotten the money and set up a paypal :P
I havnt seen Dark of the Moon yet but the first two films are choc full of ridiculous plot devices and inconsistencies. The idea of the glasses alone is laughable.
The biggest plot hole for me is pretty much the entire subplot of the second film regarding the matrix of leadership. At the start of the film we see the shard create transformers in Sam's home. Then this same shard brings Jetfire back to life. another piece of the shard stolen by the Decepticons brings Megatron back to life. So why the flying f**k did they have to go through all that bother to get the matrix so they could bring Optimus back to life? There was no explanation as to why the shard wouldnt work the same with Optimus or why the only way to do it, was with the matrix. Half the damn film is about trying to find a way to bring Optimus back to life and yet all that time theyve got something in their possession that should have been able to do it anyway? WTF?

When the revived Jetfire, I think the Shard merged with his spark. Same with Megatron. So it makes sense that they couldn't use that on Prime. And when it brought his kitchen to life, it was just doing the same thing it did in the first movie with the steering wheel, XBox 360, and mountain Dew Machine.
There are plenty of plot holes and problems in the series, but that isn't really one of them.

Because Sam doesn't know that the Allspark shard was used to resurrect Megatron. All he's seen it do is turn lifeless machines into wild murderous monsters. Even if he did intend to use it to bring back Optimus, his body was at NEST HQ in the middle of the Indian Ocean, with the people that wanted to turn Sam in to the Decepticons.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon
So here we are again and right from the start with the intro of 'Shockwave' I was disappointed yet not particularly surprised, moving on we are introduced to a talking 'LaserBeak' and a small troll like Autobot called 'Brains'! oh my heart sinks and we haven't even begun.
OK well on the plus side there is some nice humour in this new installment from various characters that did make me smile, Turturro as always is quality with his snappy dialog where as Malkovich adds an impressive little performance I didn't really see coming, small but sweet. Ken Jeong is an uprising star in my books and his performances have all been good so far, in his short role here he doesn't disappoint with a cracking little show, unfortunately we still have to sit through the annoying screaming and twitching of LaBeouf whose participation in these films has damaged his credibility bigtime.
As for new entry Rosie Huntington-Whiteley....well I've not seen a more horrifically bad performance in sometime, the girl is beautiful, she can pout like no ones business and I'm sure she models well but acting is clearly a step too far and should never be tried again, its actually fitting shes in this film as to be honest this glitzy overblown mess fits her pretty princess attitude perfectly. Shots of Whiteley up against super cars? check, anyone notice she's still wearing her posh high heels during the finale showdown lol!
Anyone actually asked themselves how a geek like LaBeouf's character somehow manages to get these girls in these films!? talk about fantasy! Basically the inclusion of 'bling' actors such as Gibson pretty much sum up the whole franchise.
The film gains a tad more respect with the continued talents of Weaving and Prime himself...Cullen :) added to the gang are Nimoy and Remar, Nimoy of course being experienced in voicing 'Gavaltron' in the animated and better Transformer movie of 86.
Credit where credits due you must applaud the cgi effects, they are very impressive and look good as they screech around highways with multiple explosions going off around them, it looks faultless and along with Bays pretty direction and fetish of the military, explosions and slow motion against sunsets its a picture for sure. As before we still have the same issue as the previous films where its virtually impossible to tell what the hell is going on when the bots fight, you still can't distinguish between Autobots or Decepticons accept for their eye colour with most Transformer characters just coming across as large, shiny, whirring, clicking statues of cgi metal. The rather long finale highlights this problem by adding massive amounts of building carnage and debris into the mix making it completely impossible to make out what on earth is going on, its just insane!
I still can't stand the recreation of classic designs for the new film, the new creations they come up with for new Transformers are terrible and why do all Decepticons look like monsters, insects or wild animals!!? did I even see a 'Predator' type Decepticon with dreads at one point?
The film is overly long and HUGELY cliched (every cliche in the book), much of the film feels like a music video or adverts for super cars as Bay tries to evoke emotion but fails miserably by adding rock music over sequences of supposed trauma and 'horror' and the whole thing is sooo 'God Bless America'.
There are also so many poor sequences with questions such as how did Sam kill Starscream exactly? what was that gauntlet thing he had? how did the Sam and the others manage to get out of the skyscraper that was practically destroyed and virtually at a 90 degree angle? they just walked out of the doors it seems with no worries lol! where does Optimus and the main Autobots vanish too for most of the finale battle? and who was that crappy balding professor looking Autobot with the British accent that got executed!!? just faceless characters for killing...poor film making.
People say this is the better of the trilogy, I can't see it, its abit darker as we see people killed in this film plus Optimus being brutal at the very end but for me this is just as bad as the previous two making it hard to try and decide which is the better film, is there a better film?

As before we still have the same issue as the previous films where its virtually impossible to tell what the hell is going on when the bots fight, you still can't distinguish between Autobots or Decepticons accept for their eye colour with most Transformer characters just coming across as large, shiny, whirring, clicking statues of cgi metal. The rather long finale highlights this problem by adding massive amounts of building carnage and debris into the mix making it completely impossible to make out what on earth is going on, its just insane!
I still can't stand the recreation of classic designs for the new film, the new creations they come up with for new Transformers are terrible and why do all Decepticons look like monsters, insects or wild animals!!? did I even see a 'Predator' type Decepticon with dreads at one point?
The film is overly long and HUGELY cliched (every cliche in the book), much of the film feels like a music video or adverts for super cars as Bay tries to evoke emotion but fails miserably by adding rock music over sequences of supposed trauma and 'horror' and the whole thing is sooo 'God Bless America'.
There are also so many poor sequences with questions such as how did Sam kill Starscream exactly? what was that gauntlet thing he had? how did the Sam and the others manage to get out of the skyscraper that was practically destroyed and virtually at a 90 degree angle? they just walked out of the doors it seems with no worries lol! where does Optimus and the main Autobots vanish too for most of the finale battle? and who was that crappy balding professor looking Autobot with the British accent that got executed!!? just faceless characters for killing...poor film making.
People say this is the better of the trilogy, I can't see it, its abit darker as we see people killed in this film plus Optimus being brutal at the very end but for me this is just as bad as the previous two making it hard to try and decide which is the better film, is there a better film?
(Can't believe Optimus lets Cybertron get destroyed!! as if!)
Good to see your opinion at last mate ;)
I know you've been waiting ;) hope I didn't disappoint hehe

Transformers: Dark of the Moon
Spoiler
So here we are again and right from the start with the intro of 'Shockwave' I was disappointed yet not particularly surprised, moving on we are introduced to a talking 'LaserBeak' and a small troll like Autobot called 'Brains'! oh my heart sinks and we haven't even begun.
OK well on the plus side there is some nice humour in this new installment from various characters that did make me smile, Turturro as always is quality with his snappy dialog where as Malkovich adds an impressive little performance I didn't really see coming, small but sweet. Ken Jeong is an uprising star in my books and his performances have all been good so far, in his short role here he doesn't disappoint with a cracking little show, unfortunately we still have to sit through the annoying screaming and twitching of LaBeouf whose participation in these films has damaged his credibility bigtime.
As for new entry Rosie Huntington-Whiteley....well I've not seen a more horrifically bad performance in sometime, the girl is beautiful, she can pout like no ones business and I'm sure she models well but acting is clearly a step too far and should never be tried again, its actually fitting shes in this film as to be honest this glitzy overblown mess fits her pretty princess attitude perfectly. Shots of Whiteley up against super cars? check, anyone notice she's still wearing her posh high heels during the finale showdown lol!
Anyone actually asked themselves how a geek like LaBeouf's character somehow manages to get these girls in these films!? talk about fantasy! Basically the inclusion of 'bling' actors such as Gibson pretty much sum up the whole franchise.

I havnt seen Dark of the Moon yet but the first two films are choc full of ridiculous plot devices and inconsistencies. The idea of the glasses alone is laughable.
The biggest plot hole for me is pretty much the entire subplot of the second film regarding the matrix of leadership. At the start of the film we see the shard create transformers in Sam's home. Then this same shard brings Jetfire back to life. another piece of the shard stolen by the Decepticons brings Megatron back to life. So why the flying f**k did they have to go through all that bother to get the matrix so they could bring Optimus back to life? There was no explanation as to why the shard wouldnt work the same with Optimus or why the only way to do it, was with the matrix. Half the damn film is about trying to find a way to bring Optimus back to life and yet all that time theyve got something in their possession that should have been able to do it anyway? WTF?
When the revived Jetfire, I think the Shard merged with his spark. Same with Megatron. So it makes sense that they couldn't use that on Prime. And when it brought his kitchen to life, it was just doing the same thing it did in the first movie with the steering wheel, XBox 360, and mountain Dew Machine.
There are plenty of plot holes and problems in the series, but that isn't really one of them.
It merged with his Spark? Well why couldnt it merge with Optimus's spark then? Youre just making things up to cover the fact that half of the damn film contradicts itself and renders half of the plot pointless. Also I know its doing the same thing as in the first film by creating transformers from machines. And how does it do that? By creating life and giving them the power to do so. So if a mere shard can give give life to new transformers, and revive two other full size transformers then it should have been able to do the same for Megatron. And then dont get me started on Sam going to robot heaven?
Dont get me wrong i still enjoy the film for its action, even though the plot is completely f**ked up and laughable and some of the humor is cringeworthy as f**k.
It's been a while since I last watched the film, but if I recall correctly, Sam was being searched for, he was desperate and decided to revive Jetfire to find help. He couldn't really get there and try to revive Optimus, they would've taken him.
To reiterate my "Sleep" comment. I've never been much of a Transformers fan. The designs really bugged me.

;D Well, to be completely honest, I am a huge fan of Transformers since an early age. Beast Wars introduced me to them all - and I have a great soft spot for Robots in Disguise and Armada. The movie designs never bothered me in the slightest and I actually like them; I understand that for the audience something new was needed - after all, the movie was being done to a much larger target than Transformers fans alone are (even if 'we' are in a pretty good number), so changing them to something more modern was an understandable choice. It's not like they did it for the lulz.

The designs have changed a fair amount over the years too. Which Optimus do you chose?
Now that Bay is (probably) off the franchise, I'd love to see a more serious take on Transformers. You know, the one which centers around the actual robots and not teen problems of Shia La Barf? The one without idiotic, infantile jokes and non-actor eye candy like Megan Fox? Anyone agree?
This is where I said that this series reminded me of 80s action flicks. Todays movies are focused on darker and grittier themes with a focus on realism. Films like Nolan's Batman helped pave the way in ushering this new era of comic book movies. I think if Transformers was released in the 80s it would have been welcomed with open arms. Today's audience of fanboys demand seriousness. Although I do like this trilogy, I also prefer serious, dark and gritty films.

It's not that I hate Bay's movies because they're not dark, realistic and gritty. I hate them because the story and dialogue are always insultingly stupid. Transformers deserve better.

So someone did scan the Cloverfield Monster.
Just watched this. Ive gotta say im as disapointed with this as I was with ROTF.
Theres way to many new characters that simply arent needed that take away screentime from the ones we want to see. Its too much like the first film in that the major action scenes are just longer versions of what we have already had. At least ROTF put the finale in a different setting. Here we get an extended highway chase scene similar to the one in the first film and the escape and rampage of a villain in the "good guys" base. Then the ending is just the ending to the first film on a bigger scale.
And a huge problem that all three films have had is that they all end too abruptly, characters that die get piss poor underwhelming exits and in each film there are new Transformers who come from nowhere and others that simply dont reappear. At least the new autobots get an explanation of how they got there because they built that ship but if they had to do that, then how the f**k did Shockwave's giant worm thing get to earth?
Ludicrously far fetched and unneccesary subplots that are supposed to tie everything together, pointless characters, abrupt endings, annoying humor, and repetitive action.
Why then after all ive just said do I still love these films haha ;D
QuoteLudicrously far fetched and unneccesary subplots that are supposed to tie everything together, pointless characters, abrupt endings, annoying humor, and repetitive action.
That's a pretty good summary of Bay's Transformers.
Now gimme a director who isn't a childish megalomaniac. This franchise desperately needs some fresh air.
Surprisingly I still enjoy them for what they are, despite what ive just said. I still think the first film is the better of the three.
Yep. Haven't seen DotM yet, but judging by reviews, the first one definitely stands out. RotF was utter garbage.
The first had a bit of a Spielbergian touch to it. There was some heart. Also less Transformers, so they all got more screen time than in the sequels. Look at the final fight in the first compared to the other 2. No nameless Decepticon redshirts, every fight is between Transformers with a name, as weakly developed as most of them are. They were hard to take out. In the sequels you have soldiers taking Decepticons out left and right.
Time for a reboot ;D
That will likely never happen, as those movies were all pretty successful; if DOTM finishes its run well, we may as well get a milky-milky Transformers 4.
Pfft never say never matey, they will reboot anything these days, give it about 4yrs haha
I'd give it 4 years for another sequel. They ain't rebooting something for nothing, no?
Well..like I say you never know these days, they are already rebooting Spiderman and Superman right?
They're rebooting Spider-Man for a reason, albeit a greatly silly one.
There's currently no reason to reboot Transformers. Movies have been so far Money Cows and Paramount is happy with that.

I just saw the third one and I think this too. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy Revenge, quite a lot because it was nice to see Prime kick some actual ass but this one just felt empty. felt very shallow...and the "needs of the many" line...I'm sorry, but no. I laughed at that. Because I couldn't believe they did that.

What's the reason?
Because they didnt get the actors back? That's a silly reason.
And it cant be because they want to tie it to the rest of the marvel movies because this thing is still with Sony.

Agreed. I said it before, and here it is again. I definitely believe that RotF had a better story than DotM. The first had the most heart, and the second seems to have a bit after repeated viewings, but this one felt a bit empty when I watched it. Still, I enjoyed it, and I tihnk, like RotF, it will get a bit better after two or three viewings.
I tihnk i like them in the order they came out in, but I enjoy all three. I can't wait to do a marathon of the trilogy. I plan on exceeding the limit for amount of explosions witnessed on screen within a seven and a half hour period :P

I'm not saying it wouldn't have helped him, I'm saying that he believed he didn't deserve it because of what he was about to do.
Sorry it toke me so long to reply. I forgot I posted it.
Ahh, I see where you're coming from.
And its funny, because the Fallen wanted to wipe out humanity, but then in the next movie
Spoiler
Sentinel needed them. I guess the Fallen didn't know about Sentinel because it was a secret deal between Megatron and Sentinel, and even if he had known, he would have felt threatened by Sentinel, with him being a Prime and all. But that brings up the question, why was Megatron so willing to kill humanity with the Fallen, if he also had a secret alliance with Sentinel that involved keeping the humans alive? My take on it is that Megatron still wanted to go the easier rout using the information from the Allspark (which, at the time, was in Sam's head) rather than slave labor with the humans, but after two movies of failing with the Allspark, he decided that he had to go back and rely on his backup plan with Sentinel. If you think about it this way, even when Megatron was basically the Fallen's b*tch, he still had complete control of the situation. I like thinking about it like that.
Megatron's keeping his options open. The whole "meet up with Sentinel" plan backfired, so he went back to his earlier "deal with robot devil" plan.

I took it as the other way around.
Spoiler
I kind of felt that Sentinel was always a backup plan, and that the Allspark was his main plan to rebuild Cybertron. When he failed twice with the Allspark, he figured enough was enough, and went right to plan B, and set a trap for the Autobots where they would review Sentinel.
And when Optimus offered Sentinel the matrix, which (I tihnk) gained the powers of the Allspark from Sam, Sentinel allowed Optimus to keep it for two reasons: One, he felt that Optimus would willingly work with him when he told him about his plan, and two, he didn't exactly trust the Decpetcions, he was just working with them towards the same goal. He wouldn't really want the Matrix to fall into their hands.
With the Fallen to me it seemed that HE was the leader of the Decepticons since Megs was bowing and all that jazz. So when this whole Sentinel Prime business came out it looked like he was doing his own thing so at the end of all of this it looked like he was behaving like Starscream from the cartoon making side deals and trying to get control.
I can't help but honestly feel that, while I enjoy Revenge of the Fallen a lot, they wasted a good load of potential of the allspark shards... really.
The Movie was ok,
and guys do you remember this? LOL

Yes, but we have obviously grown tired with it. It happens. And, the reason they used the scene was because during the scene that they filmed, a stunt women was injured. So, they just decided to re use an old scene.
^ Pretty lame though haha
i think that's kool.
If no one noticed while watching who cares?

Glad I'm too old for that diagnose. ;D
I didn't notice it myself. But the fact is that most people who watched Transformers: Dark of the Moon probably didn't even watch The Island. And I don't see what the big deal is with a director recycling one of his movies shots for a new one.
I would've understood if it was, like, a full sequence, with the duration of a solid 30 seconds, or even a minute. But f**k, 2 shots of the duration of 5 seconds? Ridiculous overreaction.
Just another reason for fanboys to waste their time giggling like school girls at how horrible Michael Bay is instead of doing something meaningful with their own lives.
Sorry guys, don't think Mr. Bay can hear you all down there.
Anyone else notice the Predator looking Transformer in the mexican stand off scene?
That was Crankcase. I have the figure, he was clearly based off the Predator.
Ha, I really liked the dreads in the film, Crankcase especially. Loved his Predator-based design.
I'd love an Alien-based Decepticon to appear in the next film.
Alien based would be really cool.
But what I really want to see is a Terminator based one. No, Alice doesn't count.
That would be really great. Alice was just a pretender, nothing Terminator-esque about her, even if she reminds sometimes of the T-X, just for the eyes.
We need a Transformer with this head:

Transforming into nothing really overdone, a barebones war vehicle perhaps. That would be beyond amazing.

A Transformers burrowing underground a-la Scorponok, but Graboid based.

Definitely. Scorponock and Ravage were definitely my two favorite transformers in the series. I loved the way they were handled, and hated seeing both of them die (despite Ravage getting an awesome Mortal Kombat death)
But yeah, the way that whole desert scene was handled in the first movie was great.
I'll be seeing this in 3D in the next 1.5 hours. Can't wait!!
You're making me fall off the clouds, I somehow thought you already saw it. Well, have a good time then. ;D
Gonna have an epic Sunday. Captain America at 3 then TF3, for the 3rd time, at 9. I'm pumped!
This film was awesome! Best action out of the entire series, good one-liners, and the humour was pretty decent. The only humour that bugged me was the washroom scene but other than that it was laugh worthy. My only major gripe was that Bay used too much slo-mo and I don't think we saw enough of Shockwave. When he's first introduced Prime makes it sound like he's a grave threat yet we barely see him.
8/10.

He's so terrible and evil, you're not even allowed to
look at him
Well I saw him a few times so there goes that argument.
To be fair, we do get some good close-ups of Shockwave. I particularily like it when he shows his insect-like mouth moving, now that was great. 8)
I agree. But since he was the newest villain alongside Sentry, we should've seen more of him I thought. More Soundwave too, it was nice they brought him down to Earth.
The thing with old Shockers is that they overhyped him so as to make it look like he was the main villain, not Sentinel.
Why him and not Megatron then?

Yes, that's true now that I think about it. I must say, I was super-impressed with his rendering. Maintained his G1 look with a touch of Bay-ness, like Prime. He wasn't completely re-done like everyone else.

Agreed. I was impressed with his design as well. I just wish he had more dialogue so he would appear less like a dorne and more of character like Megatron or Starscream. I wish he was voiced by either Corey Burton or David Warner. There were a few places in the Chicago battle where they could have given Shockwave some dialogue.
Paramount maintains the series won't be rebooted for the 4th film. How can that be now that Megs is officially dead?
Megatron doesnt have to be brought back to be the villain. Hell they could even make one up themselves if they wanted. These films are only based on the toys, not any comics, films or cartoons so they can do what they want.
I'm reverting to the whole "fanboys won't like it" bit. And also, even to a casual fan such as myself, seeing another villain wouldn't make much sense.

That was easier to play off though. His body wasn't ripped to pieces like it was in DotM. As for Galvatron, sounds like the best idea to me.

We have the technology.
The thing is, In the first film, Megs just went offline after he became overloaded with power. His spark was still active, thats why the shard could still revive him in ROTF.
He seemed pretty dead to me in DOTM. Being torn apart, basically.

Sounds fine to me. My only concern could be that introducing Unicron might be too much too soon. What do you guys think?
Too soon? Theyve already had an entire Trilogy and in it the Decepticons teleported an entire planet to earth as part of their plans? Im sure Unicron wouldnt be too much too soon after that.
Plus, if they were smart, he would be an overarching villain throughout the trilogy, because if you kill him off in the fourth film, nothing would seem bad in a fifth.

Seems that Francesco Quin, the voice actor behind Dino/Mirage, passed away on August, 5th.
From the Dark of The Moon FB page:
Transformers III Dark Of The Moon
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi52.tinypic.com%2Fde2nbm.jpg&hash=4ed837779c91aaaed6f53d537c66ef062dfc1718)
Sad news today as actor Francesco Quinn has passed away at the age of 49 from a heart attack. Francesco was the voice behind the extremely popular new Ferrari Transformer, Mirage/Dino, in Transformers Dark Of The Moon.
Francesco was the son of actor Anthony Quinn and lent his talents to many films such as Platoon and various video games.
May he rest in peace.
Oh my God, that's terrible. I don't think I know him from anything but this, but still...My he rest in peace. :-\
I hope on the DVD they add a dedication in the credits.
I watched this again with a friend yesterday and enjoyed it a bit more this time. Some of the goofy stuff was still a bit annoying and the Autobots still were assholes for letting alot of people die. But the action more than made up for all that. ;D
I would rank the films now as follows:
1. Transformers
2. DotM
3. RotF
Guess it's obvious but DotM's action was way better than RotF but lacked the spectacle of the first film.
I think I would rank them in the order that they came out. RotF, in my opinion, had a better story than DotM, but the way DotM told its story was better than the way RotF did. Still, I think I like them in the order they came out.
I still can't decide if I prefer DotM or first one. For me DotM has the best action, but as Doom put it, it lacks the spectacle of the first.
As of now Dark of The Moon has officially kicked Disney out of the top five highest grossing movies in history:

When did this happen, exactly? I don't remember much of Shockwave, to be honest, and felt that he should have been used a bit more.
After that hour long ending fight scene, I didn't remember very much. Just leaving the theater and saying to my friend that this one makes the first two look tame in comparison :D

I agree. I wanted more Shockwave. It was right after the soldiers jump out of the windows and shoot the glass to land on a lower floor because they were chased out by a Transformer, launched from an attack craft. Tyrese Gibson saves himself from falling and a table falls out and passes right by Shockwave.
OK, that sounds vaguely familiar. Gonna havet o wait for the DVD to remember completely, though.
Can't wait to get the DVD and watch them all in succession. Though my not sure my brain can handle that many explosions at once :P Even though I think I like RotF better than this one, it was still a cool watch. These movies are dumb fun, but fun none the less. Will get the DVD.
This was better than RotF I thought. It only had one toilet humour scene (literally and figuratively speaking) whereas the second film was littered with that stuff.
This was way better than ROTF. And I personally liked it as much as the first one if not slightly more.

Yeah, I agree 100% with that aspect. But something about the series...The first one had that magic to it, that special feel. It wasn't until I saw DotM that I realized RotF had a few traces of that, too, despite not being a very good movie. The third, while better overall than RotF, fell a bit flat and completely list that magic touch.
I like all 3 as a trilogy, but with each release, it seemed to miss the mark a bit and became generic action movies with breathtaking CGI. I'm happy with what we have, but think that if they do a fourth it may be pushing.

The first film did have the most amount of movie magic to it, no doubt. RotF only had one truly spectacular movie moment I thought: when Devastator make his appearance and in DotM, there were at least two: first appearance of Shockwave and the wide angle shots of Shockwave's drilling tool cutting through the building.
The fourth film will likely be a reboot, as much as it pains me to say. I just see the series going in that direction.
Supposedly, the fourth will be a sequel, but with different characters and a new director.
And and for RotF, I thought that the forest fight was spectacular. Best action scene in the trilogy, in my opinion.
But DotM had Alan Tudyk, and he was just awesome :D
Yeah, I remember thinking the same thing when I saw his eyes, DoomRulz. Everything just looked so good in IMAX. I kinda ruined my home town theater. Next summer, I'm seeing every blockbuster in IMAX.
I may catch a lot crap for this, but the TF trilogy is one of my favorites. It's up there with Star Wars and POTC. I just love this trilogy. I hope with #4 they don't do a reboot. In my opinion they should make Lennox the main character. Have him be the General of NEST and have Epps as his #2. Bring Lennox's family back, and introduce Epps'. And Introduce Unicron. The title would be Transformers: Rise of Unicron. Have Unicron revive Megatron then turn him into Galvatron, Shockwave and Starscream, then from the left over scrap from the Decepticons, Unicron builds, Scorge and the Sweeps. Unicron orders Glavatron to bring him Optimus' Matrix. Shockwave disagrees with Megatron being the leader, and separates the group of Decepticons.
I could go on and on, cus I've fully thought out the story, but you get the jest.
Megatron was officially destroyed in DotM. It sounds like a Galvatron story is almost necessary. I just want my beloved Dinobots.
This is how I will rank the movies
TF1
TF3
TF2
TF3 would have been the best in the series if Shockwave and Megatron had more screentime. I also hated when they cut into black during the whole invasion thing and Starscream's death was so stupid. I hated when they made Sam killed him.

I understand why people don't like Starscream's death, but I personally loved it. It was the best death by human in the series, and really fir his character.
His death was just so annoying. To me, that was the biggest part of it. I didn't mind the way Sam killed him, just all the screaming and the "I can't see"'s He said that line, like, 9 freakin times.
Sorry, DR, I don't think you'll get your Dinobots. I mean, what purpose would a group of giant, robotic dinosaurs serve? And how would they blind in? Also, IIRC, they were suppose to be the Autobots sent into destroy a bunch of stuff. Well, the regular Autobots can do that just fine in this movie series.
They can always just say that they were autobots who crashed on Earth millions of years ago, took the forms of Dinosaurs, and then something happened and they remained in suspended animation until modern day when they are discovered and woken up. Its not like they would be the first characters to have their origins changed.
Also, typing that, I think its kind of funny how everything happens on Earth. The Solar Harvester is on our planet, there was a giant Transformers war on out planet in ancient times, the Allspark crashed here, the seekers were here, Sentinel Prime and the pillars crashed on our moon, and yet by the time Megatron crashes here Earth is a mystery :D
If Decpticons can get away with Scorpinox, Ravage, Laserbeak, and other four-legged animal-like Transformers, the Dinobots aren't that far-fetched. The whole robot in disguise thing only applies to the TFs that change into vehicles. And I think Nightmare Asylum has a perfect idea for their origins.

Plus, it doesn't hurt that the Dinobots are on our side. And I for one would like to think that, after the world almost ended in DotM and was saved by the Autobots, humanity may be a little bit more accepting of the Autobots from now on.
Unless, of course, this battle was covered up too :D

It wasn't until just now that one of those animal-bots actually spoke or transformed. The rest were just subservient Cybertronian wildlife. Which is fine if you don't want the Dinobots to speak or have robot modes, but otherwise...
I hope we get a director's cut since I still feel like the movie was missing several things. I still did not like that Sentinel Prime was the villain and I feel like Shockwave should have been the main villain of the whole movie.

I actually didn't mind that Sentinel Prime was the main villain; his betrayal was completely unexpected and made the film less predictable than ROTF. But I do agree that Shockwave should have been a major villain rather a minor one. He should have been the tertiary villain of the film after Sentinel Prime and Megatron.

There was a ton of stuff cut from the film. We don't know if it was filmed or not, but the novel is leaps and bounds better than the final film. Shockwave though, is still shafted and gets only 2 or 3 lines.
I doubt well get any scenes featuring Transformers, but there are a ton of scenes with the Transformers that were deleted. Maybe well see them in the pre-vis stage. Specific scenes that I'm talking about were those featuring Mudflap and Skids, and a scene with Sentinel Prime and Sam right before the highway chase.
Speaking of the Twins, can anyone who read the book tell me what they did in it?
They only had two scenes in the novel. They mainly stood in the background while Optimus Prime berated Director Mearing for hiding the truth about the moon landing. There major scene took place after the Mexican-standoff. They were asked to guard Sentinel Prime with Ironhide by Captain Lennox until Sentinel revealed his defection and murdered Ironhide. Sentinel took a shot at Bumblebee, but Skids sacrificed himself and took the shot. Mudflap, angered by his brother's death, attempted to battle Sentinel only to be quickly disposed off. Overall it was a brief and wouldn't have hurt the movie if they included it.

There was no stupid comedy. AT ALL. The Twins sacrificed themselves so the others could live. Optimus mourns Ironhide (not much, but it's there.) Sentinel is a much more imposing enemy, as he can take both Optimus and Megatron in a stand up fight. Also, Soundwave is shown to be much more brutal by mocking the imprisoned autobots with Mirage's severed head.

should have robot modes since they are Transformers but since their novelty value lies in the fact that they are dinosaurs, we probably wouldn't see much of it. And they have to have the ability to speak. They always did.

So did Bumblebee...
I still don't understand why he doesn't have his own voice until the last minute of the first film. There was no real point.
Characterization.
yes yes, I know they could've characterized him in another way, but whatever, they chose that one. And it works.

I liked the way he used the radio to talk. It was quirky and suited the character. However it was fixed at the end of the first film and then he goes back to talking through the radio again in the sequels with a simple comment from Sam saying "still having trouble with that huh?". Really? It was fixed, then it broke again and with all the amazing technology and intelligence The Autobots have they cant fix it permanently and they leave it as it is for years? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Storytelling. They muted the character who spends the first half alone with the main dude so that he (and by extension the audience) wouldn't learn the whole story all at once in the first half hour of the movie.
Then kids liked the gimmick, so they kept it.
I could understand the reasons for keeping Bumblebee mute mostly through the first film, but he really should have been able to talk in the sequels.

That cover is f**king ACE. Good to know the release isn't far off.

Same here.
I don't care how awesome the cover is; I'm not buying this crap unless there's some special in-store exclusive like Best Buy had for X-Men First Class cause honestly I thought this movie was crap.
Then why bother buying it at all if you think it's crap? You'd be wasting your money regardless.
I'm a sucker for in-store exclusives; I was originally gonna wait to get X-Men First Class so it would cheapen with time, but Best Buy had an in-store exclusive so I got it immediately instead.
You liked AvP:R
You argument is invalid.
AVPR didn't overdose it on mindless action and violence and it definitely didn't have its teenage girl screaming like a pitiful wreck the entire film. Plus, the kiss at the end of TF3 was a bit corny; AVPR's romantic ending is a bit more realistic and much better than the one in TF3.

And, Hell, I'll add an extra one.
The film isn't biased.
Transformers 3 is far from a good movie. It's enjoyable, but at times falls a bit flat, because it's basically the same thong as the first two but with bigger action scenes.

The acting is better? How so? As said earlier, the teenage girl (Carly) screamed like a pitiful wreck the entire film. Sam Witwicky acted like an immature teenage idiot the entire time and he wasn't even funny.
As for the action, TF3 simply had too much action in that by the time the movie was over, a good majority of it was just spent watching robots shoot each other and explosions at all the buildings and whatnot. AVPR had better pacing and a good half the time, the characters were actually trying to do something or get somewhere as opposed to just running, yelling, and shooting guns during the entire film.
I don't know about the soundtrack as this is definitely personal preference, but I like AVPR's much better. Then again, I haven't heard TF3's soundtrack in awhile. (If you really want to change my mind on this subject, post a youtube vid featuring a good song and I might agree with you [I have changed my mind before])
How was AVPR biased? If anything, TF3 definitely is biased, I remember reading somewhere that Michael Bay's films typically don't depict women as being men's equals and Carly having practically no heroic role is just that; not heroic.

TF3 isn't a masterpiece of cinema, its a popcorn flick, nothing more, nothing less. Its just the kind of film where you're not looking for plot, just sitting down and enjoying the ride.

AVPR didn't overdose it on mindless action and violence and it definitely didn't have its teenage girl screaming like a pitiful wreck the entire film. Plus, the kiss at the end of TF3 was a bit corny; AVPR's romantic ending is a bit more realistic and much better than the one in TF3.
What romantic ending? Which film did you watch?

I was being kinda sarcastic when I said "romantic ending", but I kinda liked the girlfriend getting shurikened at the end better than the corny/cliched ending of TF3.
The xenos in AvP:R had the intelligence of a rock.
The Predator barely got a scratch on his until the PredAlien fight.
Oh that, I thought you meant biased against race, religion, gender, etc. Well, there was only 1 Predator in the entire film so, yeah, many of the Aliens had to be weaker in comparison except for the lead Alien character; Chet. But I can't say that having an entire Decepticon army being miraculously defeated by a handful of Autobots is that much better regarding a good plot.
The Autobots took them out with strategy. It's not as if they just marched in with their bare hands and levelled the place, like Wolf.
What strategy? ???
Transformers: Dark of The Moon may not be the best movie, but I certainly liked it better than AVPR. At least I could see what was happening.
Did we seriously just start comparing Dark of the Moon to AvP-R?

Everyone's got their opinion about the matter.
Reckon the comparison between the two films is rather pointless, though. While we're here let's compare Starship Troopers to A Nightmare on Elm Street and see what comes out.

Agreed with OZ. DotM And AVPR are completely different movies. We should be able to enjoy or not enjoy them without really feeling the need to compare them.

By getting the basics of a film right: Having a proper story and characters that you actually feel something for.
Any of the Transformers movies better then the AVP films if you ask me. I rather watch Final Wars over AVP and Jason X over AVPR.

Yeah... no. I actually thought it would be fun to see the characters in TF3 die in one form or another. They were immature losers. And how is TF3's story in any way proper? It consisted primarily of shooting, explosions, and special effects with no ties to a a plot whatsoever. AVPR had characters I cared about and the story was properly paced; no mindless shooting to bore one to death.
You know the characters also include the Transformers themselves. They are part of the cast as well. I'm sure a lot of people felt something when Sentinel killed Ironhide or when Que got his head shot off.
I don't see how I could care about anyone from AVPR. One character is introduced, then a few minutes later killed. At least Transformers spent sometime fleshing out its characters before killing them. And I don't see what made the characters of AVPR special. Most for poorly pulled-off cliches.

For as much as I enjoy the Transformers movies, I'm going to have to disagree with them having proper stories. Nothing ever really seems to lead up to anything important, just a bigger action scene than the previous one. The action scenes are amazing, but for the most part they lack the emotion that mas you actually care about which robot comes out alive (The only real exception is the forest fight in RotF, though I did feel bad for Que and Ironhide as well.). In fact, its almost impossible to learn most of the robots' names without googling them. And I don't think I've ever seen a series with more plot holes and inconsistencies in these movies. The characters aren't really anything special, either. There are a few likable ones, but there aren't really any complex character arcs (They could have done so much more with Sentinel's betrayal, for example).
I enjoyed the Transformers movies a lot. I own the first two and will undoubtedly be getting the third on DVD, but they definitely have a ton of problems.
You learn the names of the Autobots. You don't have google those. And they're the only real characters your meant care about when it comes to the Transformers.
I never know why they can't have the auto bots as the lead stars in the movie and give them the most screen time. People go to see these movies for the robots and not the human characters that we don't care about.
Ok guys try not to stray so far from the topic in future.

That is pretty much all AvP-R is. Character and story were pretty much kicked in the balls.
Blame Speilberg, surprisingly. It's his idea to focus on Sam as the centre of story. Though, in the sequels, especially the third, Optimus Prime did take the role as one of the main protagonists.

And you should care about the Decepticons, too. Not like, care about their lives and such, but care about them as characters. The only ones you ever got to know anything about are Megatron, Starscream, and The Fallen (I'm not going to count Jetfire or Wheelie because they became Autobots, or Sentinel Prime because he wasn't really a Decepticon). The rest were all just generic bad guys. Lots and lots of wasted potential, because they could have had less bots, so that when the fights came you felt you knew everyone and actually felt something after the battle other than "that was an awesome fight".

Maybe, but I think TF3's character and story were kicked far harder.
Predxeno I've already posted twice in this thread about continuing the AvPR vs DotM argument. Next person who contributes to it will get a warning.
How? How was the story of Transformers: Dark of the Moon kicked harder? At least it made an effort to be less than predictable. Did anyone see coming Sentinel Prime's betrayal, Ironhide's death, Soundwave disguised as a the Mercedes, Que's death and Dylan working for the Decepticons? They may have hint some of them, but for the most part it was a disguise. What little plot AVPR had was predictable and random.
Vecrotus, seriously drop it now. Consider this a warning.
Guys stop fighting, please you guys are worst then marvel vs dc fanboys, oh wait a minute that far more worst.
Can't you guys just like the film for what it is, look bay made have got a lot things wrong with the transformers, but seem everybody enjoy it .
Sentinel prime rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My beef with the Decepticons is the same with the Autobots. Unless your name is Megatron, Starscream, Optimus Prime, or Bumblebee, maybe you'll get a few minutes worth of screentime and then you'll never be seen in great detail. It was such a lousy use of other characters IMO.

Don't know why you would need to google Sideswipe or Arcee's names, they were clearly mentioned onscreen. As for the Decepticons. In the first film everyone has their name said onscreen. In the sequel things go a little bade, but Dark of the Moon fixes that problem by having a cast of five main Decepticons.
Their names were only mentioned extremely briefly -- and, actually, I don't think Sideswipe's name was mentioned in the film at all. Ever.
Besides, he had one action scene that lasted less than a minute and that was it. Bay was trying to appease as much fans as possible by putting a lot of bots in and ended up pissing them all off by doing a poor job with most of them. That's just the way it is.
I don't remember Sideswipe in the desert fight at all, now that you mention it...

I think I heard it very quickly before the Mid East outpost was destroyed in the beginning of DotM, as Prime says the Autobots help the humans solve their conflicts.

Yes it was. After Arcee failed to defeat Sideways, Lennox said "Bring in Sideswipe." After that Sideswipe makes a grand entrance.
One of the things that I liked about TF3 was that it gave us a proper antagonist in the form of Sentinel Prime. Of the three films, he is my favourite villain, mainly because unlike Megatron and The Fallen he is a complex character, at least onscreen. He is sympathetic in that all he wants to do is save his race and that he isn't just out there to wipe out humans or take over the universe.
I enjoyed the part where Megatron beat the living sh*t out of him.
I quite liked that bit as well. And it's the only real fighting Megatron does in the entire film.
It was a nice lead into Prime ripping his head off.
"Let's find out." *SCHINK*!!!
I would've preferred it if they actually made a truce. Maybe have Prime beat Megatron but not kill him, and force him to leave earth along with his legions.
It would have been out of character for Megs to do so. He would never stick to it.
But it would leave the possibility of a fourth movie open. I think that's why they changed. Originally, Optimus would forge a truce with Megatron who would have returned to Cybertron, with the other Decepticons.

Actually, Cybertron originally would have remained intact and the Decepticon forces would have returned to Cybertron. This ending can be seen in the comic adaptation and novel.

:D :D
I don't how they can pull off a huge character like Unicron. They will just likely water him down like they did with Galactus and Parallax.
Don't really see a reason to reboot it.
Put Unicron, make him resurrect Megatron as Galvatron, start new trilogy, done.
They said they want to do another trilogy, so the best bet would probably be Unicron, and have him as an overarching villain for the whole trilogy. In TF4 he resurrects Megatron and makes him in to Galvatron, and Unicron himself isn't seen very much. His presence carries over through the next two movies, and ultimately concludes in the sixth, maybe with a temporary alliance between the Autobots and Decepticons as they work together to destroy Unicron.
I think they should just let this live-action movie franchise die. After the last 2 films, I really don't want to waste any more money on any new films by Michael Bay. If they still want to do live-action films, then reboot the entire genre in this series.

Bay said that he is unlikely to return, as is Shia. But they also don't want to reboot it. So its likely that they would be sequels with a new director and about different characters.
But I kind of agree about letting the series rest. They are entertaining, yeah, but with each release, the films have just fallen flat.
I'll still be picking up DotM on DVD as it was certainly enjoyable, but still flat. I think I'm a bit bummed out from all the Transformers stuff lately. That being said, I would definitely still go see TF4, should they make one.

But they can give the cloud of dust the outline of his head for half a second! It will be cool! :P
So because other filmmakers, with other visions and approach to the characters they've taken under their creative control, have made those changes to them, that surely means Unicron will get the same treatment!
Yeeeessssss.

Well of course. Don't you know that not only do people not learn from their own mistakes, but they are also contagious to others! :D
But he is a planet size eating Robot that wants to wipe out the universe. They will likely water him down to make him believable.
Because they totally did that for the other characters.
At max I expect he's gonna be Bayformer style.

This.
I would rather they keep Unicron in planet mode. Devastator caused a computer to melt what would Unicron do?
I'm sure that they'll have had it all figured by then.
I question whether it was really necessary for Optimus Prime to execute Sentinel Prime the way he did. Sentinel was defenseless and they could easily have taken him prisoner, that way they could have still had access to his intellect in case they needed it in the future.
Killing him ends a massive potential threat later. I'd rather have had Optimus kill him with the cosmic rust, like in the novel.
They could just have put him a Transformer prison or something; I'm sure they could have taken parts from the crashed Ark on the Moon to construct it.
At that point of the film the audience is supposed to have a massive hatred for the character (EH KILD IRONHIDE); killing him is a massive payoff.
Movie Optimus isn't the prisoner taking kind. After several million years of war, most won't be either. He wanted to end it, so he did.

Whatever, but I think Michael Bay made the same mistake the Strause Bros did with AVPR (referencing the film, not attempting to respark an old debate); just cause it looks cool onscreen doesn't mean it should be put in the film, it needs to make sense.
Optimus Prime merciless behaviour always seemed out of character, but given the circumstances his been through it's understandable.

But it made sense. Sentinel betrayed the Autobots basically, and allowed thousands of decepticons to come on Earth. Not to mention he killed one of Prime's most loyal Autobots. Optimus is not exactly known to spare enemies either.

I suppose, but for the record, you would never see human law enforcement (like from the US or the UK) act that way without some sort of investigation into them by Internal Affairs or something.
But its not human law enforcement and there is no comparison. Its a bunch of huge alien robots kicking the shit out of each other in a war which will determine the fate of humanity. Hardly an everyday situation is it.
I'm just saying that it made no sense to kill Sentinel Prime, yes he did horrible things including the murder of Ironhide, but he deserves to rot (or deteriorate) in prison for it, executions are things that the Decepticons do (like how they did with that other autobot, Quo, I think his name was) and falling to their level on this isn't exactly the proudest moment for the Autobots.
Optimus sure had no problem ripping off his enemies' face since the first movie.
That was during battle. Executions are the killings of unarmed prisoners/enemy combatants.
Sentinel killed off Ironhide, allowed ALLUVA decepticons to go on earth, was about to kill Optimus after ripping off his arm.. did I forget something?

That still doesn't give someone the authority to execute someone like that. That would equal vigilante action, not law enforcement.

Wasn't Demolisher going to die anyway? And there's a big difference between the 2. Demolisher was a Decepticon that definitely was going to strike again, Sentinel Prime may have been easier to contain as he could be reasoned with (especially since the Decepticons are going to be demoralized a little after the death of their leader).
Demolisher was wounded, not dead. Plus, Optimus is the leader of the Autobots. Leader= Law enforcement. He's a wartime commander, not a politician.

Still, there's a difference. According to the EU, NEST's mission regarding Decepticons were to destroy them, probably cause there was no way to contain them and they were very violent and unsubduable. However, I get the feeling that Sentinel Prime could have been taken in peacefully.

1. Fair enough, I guess... but if US soldiers did this in Iraq or some other country, wouldn't there be a bit more controversy?
2. I'll have to watch that again, if I ever want to put that piece of crap in my Blu-Ray/DVD player again.
3. He was wounded and he used to be an Autobot, definitely not one of those rampaging unthinking killing machines that the other Decepticons were. Even til death, he did what he did not because he enjoyed it but because he sincrely believed it was for the best (obviously, that ideology was wrong).
Aaand he still betrayed the autobots, killing off Ironhide in the process and causing more than a trouble.
During war.
They're also Transformers, they've got their own code and their own moralities.

That's true, but I should think that they have a moral code very similar to ours from what we've seen of them. There's also the fact that since they're machines, they also should have anticipated that having Sentinel alive and prisoner to the Autobots may save more lives than if he's dead, especially since he seemed somewhat remorseful at the end.
...Maybe because he saw Optimus going to him with Megatron's gun.
Everyone is good and all when you're pointing a gun to their face.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLv_TFR5Tgs#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLv_TFR5Tgs#ws)
If you check around 7:35, he's remorseful even before Optimus picks up the gun.
Sentinel had no problem trying to stab Optimus while he was on the ground, begging for his life.
So Optimus should descend to his level?
He's ending one of the worst criminals in their history's life. Not much different than putting down Hitler or Bin Laden.
Ah, remembered wrong then.
Well, he's quite clearly spooked by the fact Optimus just owned Megatron. Before Megatron saved Optimus' ass, Sentinel kind'a ripped off his arm. He wasn't stopping or feeling remorseful.
Also uuhhhh. Rewatching that sequence. Megatron's death feels so motherf**king unnecessary. His coming and Sentinel ass-kicking feels so wanted, so heroic, felt almost like a redemption on his part. He didn't even go and kill Optimus straight away, he wanted a truce. Damn it, they should've went for the original ending.

Whoa, whoa, let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I wouldn't compare Sentinel to Hitler or Bin Laden just yet. Certainly Sentinel was horrendously misguided, but he never believed in things like racial superiority or anything like that, he didn't side with the Decepticons cause he believed they were superior to the Autobots, he just believed that the Autobots had no hope of winning the war so he made a compromise with their enemy. Also, he may not have seen humans as equals to the Autobots which was wrong, but then again many humans don't treat animals with as much respect as they would treat themselves.

What was the original ending?
Truce, Megatron and decepticons go away.
Would've worked so. Much. Better.
The rumored one also rocked: Optimus and Megatron team up and own Sentinel's ass.
I would agree...but Megatron yells "This is my planet!" while attacking Sentinel. Megs was being a worm and trying to save his own steel. If it had been presented like it was in the novel (Helping Optimus up and having them fight side by side) it would have been even more messed up if Optimus killed him. Also, how is Sentinel not comparable to our worst? He was trying to wipe out an entire intelligent race.

Why not just make the drones strip mine another, uninhabited planet of its resources, then repair Cybertron themselves? Are the Decepti-drones really that useless that they need humans to do it?

Megatron would never agree to a truce. He couldn't agree with Sentinel's ideas, that much is crystal clear when Carly confronts him. What makes you think he'd work with Optimus?
Script changes.
:P
But seriously, just have him somehow agreeing to a truce. Maybe get all the autobots pointing their guns at him or something. I dunno.
And then he returns with reinforcements.
Thus, Cue in fourth film!

EDIT: It appears the Walmart exclusive is just for a bare bones Blu-Ray version of this film (Blu-Ray disc only), the Best Buy version is the one that has the Blu-Ray, DVD, and Digital Copy along with the Virtual Gift Card so I recommend the Best Buy exclusive to those who are interested. I just pre-ordered it. (Yeah, and I know the irony of me getting this film since I hate it, but I have a small interest in this franchise and I'm a sucker for in-store exclusives)
I still find it amusing you put AVPR over Transformers.
I still see no reason why I shouldn't.
So the BB BR does have extras then? It's not just barebones?

It appears that that exclusive does, indeed, come with extras.
I might pick it up then, but I was reading on Wikipedia that there's a Collector's Edition that will be released in December.
It also claims that the Walmart exclusive version has 3 extra minutes of footage.
EDIT: Also, I think that Collector's Edition is exclusive to the UK since I don't think America uses PAL anymore if ever. Does it? ???
QuoteDuring Hasbro Investor Day, it was announced that the DVD and Blu-ray disc will be released in the fourth quarter of 2011. The NTSC home release for the film is scheduled for September 30, 2011. A Blu-ray 3D version of the film will be released in "the coming months," most likely a release in December 2011. A Walmart exclusive edition of Transformers: Dark of the Moon will also be released on September 30, 2011, with three more minutes of footage. The PAL DVD and Blu-ray Discs of Transformers: Dark of the Moon (Trilogy pack, Blu-ray 3-D combo pack, and Collector's Edition) will be released in November 2011.
EDIT 2: A different pic of the Walmart release:

This is all f**king great. Which version do I buy? Do I get one of these exclusive versions or do I wait for the Collector's Edition that I don't even know will be in the US? I think right now I'll still get the Best Buy edition for the free $25 gift card and if I change my mind about the actual Blu-Ray, I'll sell it on eBay and try to get more money cause it's an
exclusive.
Good things happen to those who wait ;)
Were it anyone other than me, I would say wait until the December release. But I'm just going with the first one on DVD, not Blu. I enjoyed the movie, but not enough to fork over the extra cash for Blu. And bonus features don't really mean much to me with this franchise.
I'll be waiting for the trilogy.

I'm waiting until December as well since I want to see the extended cut. I feel rather let down from TF3 and hoping it was a big improvement over the last one like Bay said. Yeah the story was better but I feel like the enjoy the action in the second film better and still think the first movie was the best.

Pretty much completely agreed. DotM just fell flat, even more than RotF did. Still very enjoyable, but very flat. RotF still had a bit of the charm from the first one left, but I tihnk the series is pretty washed up now. I'll check out a TF4, should one come out, but the franchise really needs to head in a new direction after essentially seeing the same movie three times, each on a larger scale than the previous one.
I still remember the person on IMDB back in April that claim to be a work for Industrial Light & Magic and said that the movie was nothing really new. He did end up being right :-\.

I agree that the movie did lack the charm of the first two movies. It is probably because the writers of the first two films, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman didn't work on this film. However it was an overall better movie than the second.
So pick up the DVD? I hear that the special edition will have more stuff on it, so I rather wait for that.
The single disc is $17 over here. I'm waiting for it to get cheaper.
I pre-ordered this stupid movie from Best Buy and guess what?!?! They completely forgot to send me the Virtual Giftcard for $25 that they promised, considering that one of the reasons I bought this movie from them and at all was just for that gimmick, I am seriously pissed. >:( They say they're working on fixing this problem, but I have big doubts on whether I'm ever going to get this pre-order bonus that was supposedly promised to those who pre-ordered this film. I'm starting to think that Best Buy never had this Virtual Gift Card thing in the first place and simply placed an ad for it to attract more customers despite whether or not they'd actually be able to deliver on their word.
Well its not released yet so they might not give you it until its released. If they give you it now you could then cancel the pre-order and youve got a gift card for free so you probably wont get it until theyve taken your money and posted the items you ordered.
No, its already out. Came out friday (Don't know why it had a friday release date, but that's besides the point).
Yeah, the US the release date was last Friday and the code was supposed to have been emailed to me on the "release date".
Wow. Its not released in the UK until 28th November. Thats a huge gap considering there wasnt one for the theatrical release.
Maybe this is a Best Buy international program and the virtual gift cards will only be released when the film has been released in every country or something. :-\ I kinda doubt it, but either way I'm going to keep bugging Best Buy about that gift card until then.
I'm looking forward to the deleted scenes in the special edition since I will be piss that the special edition does not have some type of extended cut.

I agree. I really wished they kept the Twins in the film now that I have read the novel. Their role was small, nothing more than extended cameos, but at least they would have redeemed themselves.
If they're still speaking like stereotypical black guys, I doubt it.
They barely had any lines at all. They were mostly background characters. Their biggest scene in the novel was also their final.

And for those wondering...
Spoiler
QuoteSkids dives in front of a shot fired by Sentinel Prime at Bumblebee, saving bee's life at the cost of his own. This causes Mudflap to fly into an Unstoppable Rage and charged Sentinel, dodging the traitorbot's shots, knocking him off his feet, and starting to try and beat him to death. It does little harm to Sentinel, but it does give the others time to escape, and as Sentinel blasts him Mudflap continues to attack him relentlessly even as he is literally disintegrating. Sentinel even mentions that Mudflap died a death worthy of an Autobot.
Spoiler
Sentinel saying he was worthy was in the novel. In the comic version he detested them.
Maybe they made it into a deleted scene
Considering how much it costs for every second a robot is on screen, if they rendered it, it's going in the theatrical release.
With a budget of 195 million dollars, I doubt the Twins made it past the pre-visualisation scenes in terms of robot scenes.
Just re-watched it today. Still love it. Anyone know when they're releasing a trilogy set? Also, still hoping for Unicron in the future.

I read somewhere (can't remember where unfortunately :P), that The Driller caused the computers at ILM to take up to an hour to load.
Unfortunately, this series seems to be going in the same direction as many claim Star Wars did; the special effects improved, but the story-telling declined in comparison.
The story telling was never great to begin with.
I dunno, the 1st film was pretty decent.
I agree. The story telling of these movies has been the declining. The story telling of the third movie is even worse than the second. The only reason I liked it better was the because the story itself was a lot more coherent and interesting.

Really? I thought the story had drastically improved!
I think RotF had a better story, but this one benefited a bit by being more coherent and having less stupid humor.

The story had improved, but the way they told the story hadn't. The movie still had stupid humour, unnecessary human scenes and there was still too much human vs. Decepticon action in the final battle rather than Autobots vs. Decepticons. While the plethora of Autobot characters was more defined in this movie, it still carried over some disposable characters. Even though Dino is my personal favourite new Autobot, he was so disposable to the plot, that they could have easily given the majority of his scenes to Sideswipe and a few to Que.
I wish the scientist Autobot had received more screentime. I liked him. Guess that means Wheeljack will be in the next film.
The Transforemrs Dark of the Moon Blu-Ray comes with a $10 off coupon to the 3D Collector's Edition release. I haven't opened mine yet, should I do it or should sell it on eBay? I don't really plan on watching the film, I simply got it cause of the Best Buy exclusive packaging (something they actually managed to deliver upon), but I could still use the Digital Copy.
Upon giving it some thought, it would have been a much more interesting twist if Shockwave had transformed into Sentinel, similar to what he did in Transformers: Animated. Have it explain that Sentinel was the real leader when he left, but Shockwave slipped onto his ship, killed him and took his form.

I'm a sucker for pre-order bonuses and exclusives :P; I already told you that in this thread. :-[
Not that it's wrong, but I don't see any logic in buying something you don't want just because it's exclusive, unless you were gonna sell it later or something.
I'm considering selling it later as I said. I'm just a fan of Transformers and something of a small collector; however, this piece of crap film is making me rethink a few of my priorities.
EDIT: Oh yeah, buying this film was also supposed to get me a free $25 gift card to Best Buy, something the company failed to actually deliver on.
They finally sent me my $25 gift card! Finally!! I had just about given up all hope.

I have no problem with the humor I find it makes the movie more enjoyable but I do agree with you on the other two things.

Your avatar is a clear indicator of that.
I have a question; has anyone noticed a scene in TF Revenge of the Fallen where the Constructicons destroy the smallest of themselves for his parts in order to resurrect Megatron while they are underwater? I can't remember seeing that scene on DVD, but it was depicted on the FX channel. I know sometimes TV channels show movies with deleted scenes and I just want to know if this was one of them.
No, it was there.
I'll have to look harder, then; I have the Big Screen Edition.
That scene is present in all versions of the film. Funny thing about that scene, is that the Doctor orders the Constructicons to kill the smallest one amongst themselves, yet the Transformer they kill is the second largest.
Another funny thing is that, when the Decepticons go back up to the surface, the sonar reads one extra robot. So unless the doctor guy is big enough to be picked up on the sonar, which I highly doubt, that makes no sense :D
It was a really cool scene, though. I'm a sicker for underwater stuff like that. And Ravage swimming looked great.
I wonder what Devastator would have looked like if all the Constructicons constituted him.
I'd say he would have looked the same, just larger and more bulky. I actually quite liked how they depicted him in film. I just wish he would have got a proper fight with the Autobots such as Optimus, Bumblebee, Ironhide, Sideswipe or Ratchet instead of Mudflap and Skids. The fight though was good.

Devastator's design was so crummy. I really, really want to know why Bay thought a retarded gorilla was a good design concept.

Small mistake, apparently it's 32 seconds and to answer your question; not especially. There's nothing really notable and I honestly couldn't tell the difference really between the Big Screen Edition and the regular edition. Here's a quote from someone who can explain it better than me.
QuoteHowever, the IMAX version of the movie runs 32 seconds longer than the regular theatrical release. (Early reports of the difference being 71 seconds were incorrect.) The forest battle accounts for 22 seconds of that, and the Devastator scene has 10 extra seconds. I have watched these two scenes back-to-back numerous times. Quite frankly, I simply could not tell you what was added to the longer version. There's no extra dialogue, and no shots stood out to me as being new. I'm not going to say definitively that there are no new shots, simply that none stood out to me. This will require a literal frame-by-frame dissection. I think this may be a case where a bunch of shots have been extended very briefly, rather than any major new additions. I would not consider this longer running time to be a compelling selling point in and of itself.
So I just started working a music video of this. And I'm using this song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErZLFofFkGg# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErZLFofFkGg#)
It will take a while. It's fast and furious = more time spent on editing.
Good song! Looking forward to seeing it :)
I'm excited. You make really great videos.

I think it's 3 minutes extra footage and I haven't seen it yet.
This question isn't really about DotM, but about the 1986 movie. I still haven't seen the film, and really want to. But I've only seen (and own) Season 1 of the original show. That is also my only real experience with Transformers stuff, other than the Michael Bay movies. I know the movie came out after season 2, but is that required viewing to understand or appreciate some aspects of the movie?
Anyone notice that when Megatron is sitting on his 'throne' his wheel is clipping though the stairs?
It's on his heel. There's a good portion of his foot missing during this scene.

Nope. His feet are at either side of the podium that Lincoln's rest on.

Well, let's see. I hated every single one of the characters, the story made no sense, the action had no continuity and was uninteresting, the jokes were flat and unfunny, the twist made was completely nonsensical, and it was WAY TOO f**kING LONG.
I would like more time of the Autobots and Decepticons interacting amongst eachother. It seems only Optimus and Bumblebee have any character.

Look at it this way. It may have made a shitload in the short run, but in the long run, it'll vanish.
The good movies will be the ones that survive, and the bad movies will wind up on the next MST3K style show.

I do find some quantum of solace in that thought, but still; this movie angers me in how terrible it was.
The length didn't bother me at all. I enjoyed the ride quite honestly.

Exactly. It's fun a movie, nothing more. It's movie about frick'in robots fighting for crying out loud. How serious can you make it? You've got to have some fun this stuff. And I thought this was a darker movie which I liked.
It's only fun if I can tell what's going on, and if I don't despise the characters. And if the action isn't horrible.
It looks fine to me as I'm watching it right now. I will say the token dumb blonde does suck.
I feel like it went on too long as well. I feel like the 3rd could have been better if the action was not the same old flashy action that we seen in the last two movies. Do something different for once!
And that's a wrap!

She was my only real problem with the film. At least Bay kept the stupid humour from the 2nd film really low, save for the bathroom scene.
Yeah, I actually kinda understood why Megan Fox left the series; all I could think about during the film was "Oh my God, shut that bitch up!" I mean it's ok if it's a kid who goes off screaming like Newt in Aliens and Molly in AVPR, but if a teenager starts screaming loudly and nonstop as opposed to actually doing something that could help one survive, all respect for that person seriously goes out the window.
By that logic, they should have gotten rid of Shia.
No they shouldn't have. He indicated a character that "actually doing something that could help one survive". Shia advanced the story.
I actually liked how they made Sam's story come full-circle.
1st movie: A boy who thinks he's not ready to do what he ends up doing.
2nd movie: He now wants to continue his normal life but he's sucked back into the conflict.
3rd movie: He realizes a normal life isn't enough for him after what he's been through and is willing to help save the world once again.
I hope Sam won't be back for the 4th movie. Nothing else they can do with his story, I hope we will get a better lead character.

I'm pretty sure Shia already confirmed he's not back.
Unless they give him a huge pay check. Most actors say that they won't be back but end up coming back because of the money ;). Look what happen with Sigourney Weaver and Alien Resurrection (She said that she won't be back for another movie but she end up coming back because of the money).
I don't think they will because IIRC, they said the new film was a fresh start. Not necessarily a reboot, but just with a new crew.

I've loved Shia as a main character and I think the movie just wouldn't be the same without him
I think he could make a cameo but that's about it.
Shia is just an angry little child who just screams and rages through out these movies whenever he doesnt get his way or is attacked. He never learned how to toughen up or learn humility. He just got a huge ego boost with each movie.
Meanwhile in Vancouver...

I reckon that if you didn't like either of the first two Transformer films, you should just have avoided the third one, Marines... I mean, it's a tad obvious they aren't your cup of tea.
I liked the first one. I genuinely did. I'd heard that this was more like the first than the second, so I was expecting something more along those lines.
And what I got... it was a spit in the face to all of cinema.

Uh huh. We're going to need a seperate, Appreciation thread at the rate of your bitchin.
Rage is mostly gone, now.
I'll just take solace in the fact that this film will wallow into obscurity.
You sure?
It's f**king Transformers.
Oh, the die hards will know about it, for sure. Maybe a few cinephiles and bad movie fans.
But the general moviegoer? No.
Only time will tell.
And sorry for the mistake, I remembered that you didn't like the first one somehow.
I think Bay is the reason why the sequels suck so bad. He had too much control on them and wanted more bad humor and mindless action. I really hope they get a new director for the 4th film!

I don't. These types of films are never remembered by many.
These movies are big money makers. I'm pretty sure they will be remember as big stupid money makers similar how most 50 monster B movies where.
Not many people, outside of cinephiles, know about those films, though.

They're not just films though. Transformers is an entire franchise. G1 is remembered, so is G2, Beast Wars, and so on. They are the first live-action interpretations of a classic childhood television show and toyline. They will be remembered as it all installments of the Transformers franchise are, even if you're not a die hard fan.

a promotional picture for Transformers, is this past decade's iconic sex symbol image up there with the famous shots of Farrah Fawcett, Raquel Welch, Jane Fonda and Marilyn Monroe, but it's just absolutely true, and it's to the franchise's credit. It would be remembered for, if nothing else, that image alone. Something that insignificant.
Pussyface actually brings up quite a good point in the post above when he speaks of it as how it'll be remembered as part of the entire Transformers franchise. It's mainstream success ensures that without a doubt. The basis that you personally rate movies on won't be the basis in which the movies are remembered. It's comes with the brand name, and what these movies did with their success was add to it's credibility.
I think now would be a good time to mention that I really liked the first one, was deafened by the second one, and am completely neutral on the third. Your biggest mistake was ressurecting this thread with additional hate than the movies pick up, essentially created a "Roger Ebert logs into a Transformers forum..." joke situation. We get it, you don't like the movie, most people posting here, in this thread, do.
So if we could PLEASE get back to talking about how much of a cum recepticle Shia LaBeouf is...
I wouldn't rank her up with classic sex symbols like Welch or Fawcett. Back in their heyday, they were truly something special; one in a million. A girl like Megan Fox these days, come a dime a dozen. And I remember TF for the fact that it was the first time these enormous robots were rendered into live action. Seeing Optimus transform for the first time was much more magical than seeing Megan Fox bent over a car hood.

I LIKE THE PART WHEN MEGATRON GETS UP AND GOES ALL "RAWR" ON SENTINEL!!!

Spielberg is, dare I say, becoming senile if he thinks no one but Bay could make a TF film.
Bay should stick with other movies. Give someone else the director chair for Transformers 4.
Like Spielberg himself.
I did watch the 3rd movie the other night and I still think it's the weakest movie in the series. While the second movie was bad, I think I enjoy the second movie personally. I feel like Megatron and the other characters did something for once!
I kind of agree. I tihnk I prefer RotF to DotM as well. The first one is the best, though. The first one seemed like a cinematic event, and after seeing DotM I realized that RotF had a bit of that spark in it as well. But after DotM, which I did enjoy, I feel like the series has pretty much ran dry. Not really sure where else they can take it thought doing the same exact thing again...
I wonder if any fan edits will ever come out or even different cuts.
The only problem I found with the last 2, is that they are just too damn long. I was literally sweating my balls off in the cinema and by the time the credit's roll, it was more of a "Thank F" than "that was cool"
I have no idea how my Mrs managed to sit through it, if I as a Transformers fan couldn't.
They need to re-edit each film so they only have robot scenes. Obviously some human scenes are needed to explain things but a lot could be cut out.

Because you're impatient? I don't know, I found them fine length-wise, although some stuff COULD have been cut.
Out of all the stuff released for Michael Bay's Transformers albeit 1, 2 or 3 this will always be the high point.

I still can't believe how this movie made so much money and it became the 4th highest grossing move of all time. I don't think the movie deserved to be the 4th highest grossing. This movie out gross The Dark Knight and Return of the King for crying out loud!
I'm still surprise that Spoony did not hate it as much he did as the second movie. He admit that he rather watch Alone in the Dark over Transformers 2.

I think we have a TF4 thread? I wish they give they pick another director for Transformers 4 for once, I have a feeling that TF4 is going to be the same old crap as the last few movies if he directs the film.

No, I'm pretty good if I'm watching something that's interesting. They have real pacing issue's. The first one was ok, it moved along quite smoothly with a few minor bumps. The whole "we're hiding in the space ship" bit could have been culled, didn't see the point of that at all. That and everything to do with his mum and dad.
I agree; the movie spent too much time looking at meaningless action and not enough time focusing on the plot.
The Transformers trilogy suffers from one thing that prevents them from being classic: Human jibbering. I mean think about it: The vast majority of complaints of these movies is related to the humans. Why? Humans are boring, bland, and uninteresting; hell, do you even see them on the posters or DVD/Blu Ray covers? Exactly, you don't. Every non-human related complaint is just typical nitpicking. Bay wastes time on pointless human garbage which should be used to establish development for the decepticons or at least something to themselves. The first was okay, the second was fantastic, and the third was great although it tried too hard to be like the first and got it's problems from that.
Bottom line: Cut the humans to just explaining scenes.
I hate to agree with Twin Drive but he is right since a movie with the robots as the lead characters would be nice. If they are going to have human characters then make them enjoyable. Safe to say that I never like Sam and the rest of the cast at all other then Tyrese Gibson character. He is the only actor that I would like to see return.

Agreed. Nobody went to see the movies just to watch Shia Ladouche be a black hole of human charisma.
In my opinion, the whole human cast acted like idiots throughout the entire trilogy. This movie series needs to just die or get a new set of main characters.

When has Bay ever cared about plot? He's not the sort of director who worries about substance over style.

I kinda liked 'em, too. It's a pity they didn't make it to the sequels.
But all the cons are dead how would there be a 4th film unless megs gets rebuild again
Bring in Unicron. Or even Jhaxis or someone.
And just say that when Megatron died it wasn't really Megatron. The one that died could be a simple con' protoform taking the guise of Megs and mimicing his personality and so on, to go into battle until the real Megs got back to full power.

That actually sounds so lame, that it could probably happen.
It was Megatran, his evil twin brother... :o
http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Megaplex (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Megaplex)
I still think it's better than the mighty Megatron getting his head torn off in less then 10 seconds.
What mighty Megatron? He was beaten from the start, it was a mercy killing.
I always wish Megatron in all three movies had more things to do. He did not show up until the last 20 minuets of the first movie and did show up that much in the second and 3rd movie.
Despite not being in the first movie very long, his presence was felt from the first time we saw him, and it was the only movie where he was a truly intimidating threat. Sure, the second movie had the amazing forest scene, but he was basically second in command to The Fallen. In the third, he literally just sat there while Sentinel Prime did everything. I find it funny that he was insulted by what Carly told him, considering that's all he was in the second film as well.

I'm not debating the idea. Just that it would never work.
Why would he sit back after 3 movie's and watch his entire fleet get destroyed.
Megaplex is a toy only character. I don't think the idea of a clone being killed instead of Megatron would work on film.

Transformers Dark of the Moon 3D Combo Pack is released today. There's also a TF Trilogy Blu-Ray set as well.

Quote- Includes all three Transformers movies on DVD and Blu-ray and Transformers: Dark of the Moon on Blu-ray 3D
- Loaded with over 10 hours of bonus features and packaged in exclusive trophy display packaging
- Features a movie plaque signed by director Michael Bay with images from all three films
- Limited quantity
That is beautiful.
Yes, such beautiful covering for a piece of crap (with exception to TF1, of course).
Yet you're still going to buy it.
And he'll watch all three films only to come on right after and complain even more about them.
And still defend AVPR to the death.
Old and invalid point is old and invalid... seriously man, this is what, the third time predxeno says something about Transformers 3 and someone stabs with a 'LOL YOU LIKE AVPR!'? Seriously, not only that is a very arguable point (the fact he likes AvPR doesn't even marginally mean his opinion is invalid), but it's been played to death. Come on.
The BR package up there looks interesting (I like the 'industrial' base), but doesn't scream Transformers to me, if I have to be honest. They should do a 'Optimus Prime/Megatron head' package, or else.
Plus, given I do not have a 3D TV, I'm not crazy about the fact the third film is just the 3D Blu-ray.

Actually, I probably won't buy this one; I just don't really see the point in getting it if it's just for 1 movie.
