The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

Um, yeah, I am probably going to see this

M. Bay has ruined the movie before it even came out. The designs for the transformers are hideous. The transforming sound has been butchered.... Tyrese is in it, I've hated him since I've seen baby.

The technical work with the bots looks good though.

Dude, Bay is the perfect director for this, screw purity, the cartoon wasn't all that fantastic anyway, I grew up watching it, that was a look in need of an update. We're not talking about some classic work of fiction. I want to watch some cool looking robots fight one another and blow things up, that is right in Bay's (limited) wheel-house

There is no way I will be satisfied with this movie...
Did you cry when Optimus Prime died in the TF movie? DID YOU?!?!?! I was five years old and wept like a little b....

so help me if they don't go CHEE KOO KOO CHEE KOO CHEE i'm coming after YOU michael bay. And hell's comin with me! You hear that? HELL'S COMING WITH ME!!!

Yes, I was stunned when I saw him die (saw it when it was in theaters) but when I watch it now it makes me cringe/laugh, especially the people on the trash planet.

Optimus Prime

That sums it up for me, too. I think that if they keep it simple it can satisfy even the purists. No need to work in needlessly complex contraptions or work so hard to make it epic that it falls flat on its face. There's a lot that you can do with 'cool looking robots [fighting] one another and [blowing] things up' -- no need to get fancy.

In creating a work, the KISS philosophy ('keep it simple, stupid') is IMO the best way to go.

Consider the X-Men movies: if they had just stuck with what they knew would work it would have been 10 times better. Instead, we get the "this is the end of the world" climax battle scene based on Jean Grey and Wolverine's love story.

I could go on about Star Wars, computer games, and so on. . .but I fear that I've said way, way too much already.

I have to see that movie!

Dangit!!! I thought this was a thread for a new RV.

with out the classic sound of transformation i cant even entertain the thought of paying to see this movie. plus, megatron is not a big gun (or so i hear)

I've never seen transformers and don't know the general theme behind it, but the movie looks intriguing.

Please don't tell me you guys are serious about this.

I mean, this better be like a "Snakes on a Plane" type of deal... or else

Are you insane? Snakes on a Plane was a joke on film, 'Transformers' isn't going to go down as a cinematic masterpiece but I can assure you I will be there on opening day and I'm, mostly, not an idiot

Exactly.

I get the feeling that there's something not quite right about that movie...like there's something they're not telling us..... like there's....more than meets the eye.

I am still a thirty year old kid, I just bought the 20 year annv. DVD of Transformers the Movie.

Seeing all of the "older" Autobots get terminated still gets you.

And I have seen what the new Megatron looks like and it looks more like he should be in a Robocop movie as a new Ed209 or better yet an updated Robocop 2.

Thank god they got Frank Welker (the original voice of Megatron) and Peter Cullen (The original voice of Optimus) to do the voices.

HAHA NICE!

I need to know what Gene Shallit thinks. Then I'll know what to think.

Tell me what to think, Gene. Tell me. What do I think? Huh? Huh? Huh???

"This killer robot is really distracting!"

Anthony Anderson is wearing a Portis jersey in this movie so it's something else to look for.

You don't have to take up any space on this thread, but would someone be kind enough to PM me and tell me the story behind the transformers? I'm just curious.

Yes, I can always wait to watch the movie....but I'm impatient like that. I wanna know NOW!

Wikipedia will ruin the plot of just about any movie for you, should you want that.

omg omg omg omg omg - it's here!

I'm hoping this movie takes off, so they revive other 80's classic toons like Thunder Cats, Shirt Tails, Smurfs, Fraggle Rock.... ok, maybe that's pushing it.

I got one word for you: UNFRICKINBELIEVABLE!!!

Went last night to watch it with some friends (at midnight)...

The place was packed, the excitement was in the air, and the flick was pretty dang exciting.

Great action movie!!! Awesome special effects!!!
