Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
i am hoping hoping HOPING this turns out OK... I am actually in the camp that Michael Bay is a good choice to direct a Transformers movie but the little that I've read of the script is... PROBLEMATIC. that link above about the xbox 360 is just the tip of the iceberg...

Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
In the past, most every film released July 4 tends to be a big pile of poo.

Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
I'm worried about the movie not because of the animations and plot tweaks but the fact much of this movie (from what I've read in terms of script reviews) appears to deal with humans and the transformers themselves are the eye candy in-between "acting" scenes.
If humans were eliminated from the movie equation altogether, I wouldn't mind one bit. |

Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
^^ that wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. We'll see what the final product looks like...animation, etc.

|
Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
I just watched Trailer 2 and I think that this movie is going to be pretty good.
|
Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
This is going to be bigger than Spiderman 3. The CG is tight and the sound is freakin brutal! One hint of musical awesomeness...SABOTOGE! you'll see

I will eat your brains if this is movie of the year. It's Michael fucking Bay.

Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
Saw it. Yaawn.
|
Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
:(
that bad? |
Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
i havent seen it but i did see HBO's First Look at the movie. it will make you want to kill michael bay.
paraphrasing some of what Bay said: They showed me this picture of this truck that's been lowered WITH FLAMES ON IT....and immediately i thought that's DEFINITELY Optimus Prime.......... |
Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
It's really totally mediocre. Like, the script isn't great, the robot models aren't great, the action execution isn't great. None of it is as bad as it could have been, honestly, but none of it is good enough for me to muster any enthusiasm. The action scenes are chaotic and the robot models are too busy. The pacing is all hectic madness which always irks me that these supposed a-list directors don't understand the importance of build-ups.
And unfortunately, the comment about a robotic sphincter ready to shit all over our childhood comes way too close to the mark. |
Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
Oh, can we never see the "computer hacker who gets harassed by his <strike>mother</strike>grandmother" character again?

Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
You disliked 300 as well, though, and like MGS for the story, so, you know...
|
Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
Talk to me when you can make it past Metal Gear's first enemy.
Seriously, I know the second one's plot was nonsensical. But the third one?! Awesome. ...and if you liked 300, you'll probably like Transformers. |

Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
No, that's not what I mean. When I say the script isn't great, I mean it's actually not that bad considering the source material. There are some lame moments, but they really didn't do a horrible job. I mean all the people I saw it with agreed that the models had so many parts that it was kind of harder to discern what was happening with their bodies, especially the monochromatic ones like Megatron. Kind of like Mario and his overalls was about making his arms really visible? I don't know if that comparison is clear...

Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
"I think it's going to be something the audience has never seen before. In all the years of movie-making, I don't think the image of a truck transforming into a 20-foot tall robot has ever been captured on screen."

Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
They should have put Truckasaurus in. That would have been huge.
|
Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
Dinobots ftw imo
|
Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
I always liked the Combaticons. Only group that I had all five.
|
Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
i actually had no Dinobots. my favorite that i had was a Decepticon that turned into a hovercraft, i don't remember his name :(
|
Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
I had that one too, the hovercraft.
My fave was a big fat die-cast metal Prowl. You could literally kill someone with it. I really wish I kept all my old toys :( |

You're siding with adam.
Think about it. |
Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
Actually, it occured to me in 300 that I would have enjoyed it much more if I were just listening to The Fragile.
I so wish I had kept all my toys too. |
Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
A buddy of mine caught the advance screening of Transformers a couple weeks back, I figured some of you may want to read his review:
***MILD SPOILERS BELOW*** After much anticipation, Friday night I finally saw it. There's a lot to love about it and a lot to hate about it. I mean, look, it's a movie about giant robots fighting and yes, we get that....but you have to wait for it. There's a great opening set piece where a military base in Iraq is attacked by Bonecrusher (I think that's who it was - the helicopter) and then an even better sequence with Scorponok fighting the Marines in the desert. But how's the robot on robot action? Barricade and Bumblebee go at it, first as a car chase then in full blown fight sequence, which is poorly shot and edited to the point where you have no idea what's going on. Luckily, however, they fix that problem. The second act gets very corny and when Optimus arrives on Earth and explains a lot of what's going on, he and his cohorts, Jazz, Ratchet, etc, speak like kids at a mall. They learned how to speak English on the world wide web. Yikes. I know. When Optimus says "My bad' after crushing a bird fountain you start to wonder if this whole thing is going to go South completely. Then Megatron arrives and all hell breaks loose. Gone are the campy, corny comic moments and bad, cheesy dialogue and after enduring a painfully paced second act, Michael Bay rewards you for sticking with the build up. It starts with a freeway chase in which most of the robots are transforming and fighting literally in mid chase then fighting and falling from freeway overpass to freeway overpass...and Bay slows down the action so you can see metal grinding and crunching against metal. Then the war is on and they nearly level all of downtown L.A. in an epic 30 foot high robot battle sequence that has the Autobots fighting the Decepticons with the Marines in the crossfire. Cars are flying through the air, people are being flung every which way. Glass is shattering, and buildings are crushed. It's a whirlwind finale that proves the age old adage, an audience will forgive a lame first or second act if you wow them with the third. Bay does just that. So, the bottom line is this....if you're up for seeing a fighting robot movie, you'll be entertained. It is NOT as serious or intense as the trailer indicates. The film is definitely more light-hearted and retains some of the goofiness of the cartoons. It is VERY LOUD and pretty much the definition of the mainstream popcorn picture. It's better than everything else that has opened this summer....but I'm still waiting to see DIE HARD 4.0 (I will NOT recognize the US title, Live Free or Die Hard. Fuck that.) |
Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
Movie of the Year.
|
Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
I liked it when the transformers came on the screen and transformed and had fights.
Come on adam. Fight me. |
Re: Sweet ass teaser poster for Transformers!
Seriously, Tom. WTF. 300? Transformers? I bet you like the Saw trilogy, too. I can't handle the fact that you like such absolute garbage.
