Hey guys, hey, wanna hear something...Transformers 3

[lame-o]

I'd totally watch Armageddon 2. I don't know why.

I think he meant they concentrate on pimping her too much and if she was gone, they could have focused more on the stuff the nerds really care about.

Okay, the other thing nerds care about. Plot. Not that Michael Bay and plot mix very well...

Ding ding ding.

A Michael Bay film is mindless, numb, no real plot or anything you feel you can care about. Just lots of explosions to cover itself up.

My point was that Megan Fox is used as a draw to the film, or atleast it seemed that way to me anyway.

For example. Do you think anyone watched Jennifer's Body because of its story? ***k no. Now that the first film is done and dusted, she seems like the only reason to watch it. The rest is just more of the same.

And im sorry but watching the robots beat the crap out of each other might as well just have been a big blur. You dont see anything until you get those slow-mo moments where an arm comes off or something.

But but but ... that's how Jetfire brought the pain in his day.

All of these things needed explaining, huh?

 

[Darkside55]

They fixed that slightly. Just slightly, but in RotF you can see a little more of what's going on rather than metal scraps smashing against another bunch of metal scraps, even without slo-mo.

 

[Dynasty]

Yeah I can definitely agree with that, its clearer, its like its been washed with a sharper, almost HD look.

And thats great, but its still just too quick. Lots of rolling around as the two bots connect, sparks flying etc.

I feel it can be a bit disorienting, and makes me think it adds to the fact that you dont need to be thinking when watching the film.

 

[MRG]

Loved the "original" Transformers movie of 1986. I was 12 & my mom took me to see it. Fast forward many years & Transformers is released once again, only this time, it's not a cartoon & once again, I loved it.

When T2 came out earlier this year, I feel it failed to live up to the legacy. Great special effects aside, I didn't care for how they made Optimus Prime look like a wuss.

Now there is going to be a T3? Unless they really turn around the story plot, i'll wait for it to come out on DVD.

[Darkside55]

While I agree that Transformers 2 failed to live up to the first live action movie (and definitely the '86 movie), I don't see how you think they made Optimus a wuss. Everytime he showed up he was screaming "GIVE ME YOUR FACE!"

Which really makes no sense given that in the 07 movie Megatron is shown to be a lot stronger than him, throwing him around like a ragdoll. And in 86 he was at least equal footing with Megatron, although Megatron ended up getting the upper hand early in the fight. In RotF Optimus took on Megatron, Starscream, and Grindor at the same time and held his own until he got shanked, and then bitched out both Megatron and The Fallen easily.

Also he took a real "no mercy" stance when it came to Demolishor.

 

[Rizzo]

Yeah wtf was that? I remember complaining about it a while back. The fight was still cool though.

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

Well clearly in the time in between, Prime had upgrades installed, the result being that he was now made of sterner stuff.

 

[Rico]

He's doing the smart thing here. Some math:

Morons went and saw Transformers 1
Even more went to see Transformers 2
Transformers 3? Profit!

It's a freaking movie about giant robots from space. Why would you expect it to be good?

Also if I were a giant killer robot why the hell would I want to transform into a car?

 

[Darkside55]

Seriously? How fast do you think a giant robot can run vs. how fast a car can drive?

 

[Eejit]

Seriously? How fast do you think a giant robot can run vs. how fast a car can drive?

If speed is the aim shouldn't they all turn into aircraft?

Plus y'know some turn into trucks and SUVs, not quite the fastest cars.

 

[Darkside55]

Autobots don't fly. IT'S THE LAW. The 'cons, however, have an impressive airforce.

And an SUV still moves faster than a robot.

 

[Rizzo]

Why don't they fly though? Is that ever explained? They must at least be capable, since they space travel... Right?

 

[Darkside55]

I don't know why. It's the rules...Decepticons, even those who don't transform into planes, helicopters, or spacecraft, they can all fly in robot mode. Even Soundwave flies and he's a boombox. Autobots, they can't fly period. I mean, they tried...Springer could fly, and they had that pompous jackass Sky Lynx who was some kinda ugly robot dinosaur thing that turned into a spaceship. He was always acting like hot shit because the Autobots needed him to get around, but really, everyone hated Sky Lynx.

If you watch Transformers Animated and read the comic about the Autobot twins Jetstorm and Jetfire, it's goddamned sinister how Ultra Magnus tries to create flying Autobots. They kidnap two young bots who nobody'll miss, bots who were on the verge of death already, and subject them to terrible experiments until they can fly.

Autobots just weren't meant to fly.

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

I like Jetfire/Jetstorm. Also, I thought they were just two young factory workers who were inducted into the program, Ultra Magnus you son of a bitch you can't just put your greasy servos where they weren't meant to touch!

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

There was that one rollerblading Decepticon. He sure could go faster than the cars.

 

[CptStern]

autobots cant fly because they're AUTObots ...really guys it's not rocket science

 

[Eejit]

You'd think an autobot would be smart enough to copy Iron Man's armor for flying around.

 

[CptStern]

I dont see how a robot could think ouitside of it's programming. I mean the ghetto blaster transformergobot didnt evolve into a cdplayer so obviously they're of limited intelligence. hell as far as I know there's an obsolete cassettetap transformergobot lurking in the shadows somewhere, waiting for the day he'll be thrown in the scrapheap along with the gotransformerbots who were made to look like 1980's minivans and dunebuggies

 

[Raziaar]

I just adore this thread title.

 

[Rizzo]

Stern, please.

Autopilot, huh? **** you. What does auto even mean? Decept=fly? NO!
Think man... God damn it.

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

At least Soundwave's voice is cool in RotF, even if he doesn't speak in chords.

Which reminds me, I think one of the things that was missing from the movie is the fact that the robots don't address each other by name often enough. It's tough to build characters when all the robots look like the same big metal shards as one other.

 

[lefty]

aw title edited.

One thing that was missing was Soundwave smashing the US military satelite, falling out of orbit and landing on and killing Sideswipe while firing Rumble from his chest straight into Sam's face.

you're obviously thinking too hard. think stupider! clear your mind of nothing but stupid thoughts because the answer is really stupid that it's easy for non-retarded people to miss:

deceptive

deceptiv

decepti

decepticon



"ZOMG the badguys are deceptive, lets add "con" at the end and it will sound really gnarley"

no really I wouldnt be surprised if the business executive who came up with the idea behind the name to be named Hugh Lee Obvious

"Roboto-cepti-con ..."
"Deceptirobodroids"
"Decepidriods ...oooh I like this one"
"Deceptidroidicons"
"Decepticons ...AWESOME!"

"now the good guys ..they're automobiles (ok some are cassettes/8tracktapes) ..Robo-vehicles-icon"
"Roboto-icons"
"Auto-icons"
"Auto-robticons"
"Auto-robots"
"Autobots ....zomg that's more awesomer than the rest"

 

[SpotEnemyBoats]

I hope in TF3 there is no ****ing Jar-jar Binks Twins and Wheelie, the 'comedic' value is absolutely pathetic. I hope Unicron, Galvatron, Cyclonus, Scourge, Blurr, Ultra Magnus make appearances in this. It would be cool if Bay's writers did something right for a change and have Unicron vs. Primus in an awesome final battle. I hope Frank Welker voices Galvatron, not Hugo "Mr. Andersoooonnnn" Weaving.

 

[CptStern]

every time I hear/read the word Unicron I think:

not really work safe

Spoiler

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

omg I never realized that "Unicron" was one char-swap away from being "unicorn." **** it. I'm out.

I'M OUT.

 

[Rizzo]

It's not just any unicorn... It's a penis unicorn.
And somehow, less gay then a normal unicorn.

 

[Captain M4d]

I just realized that the animated Transformers movie was the last movie Orson Welles acted in. He was Unicron. Crazy.

 

[CptStern]

he was a big fat gay unicorn


also Raul Julia's second last role was in Street fighter ..methinks acting/directing in a movie that is beyond the usual overly commercial treacle they try to pass off as a "blockbuster" leads to their deaths. but so long as the actor is really talented which is why people like Uwe Boll/Michael bay are still alive

 

[CyberPitz]

Man.......I've still gotta see the second one....

Obviously it's not on my "NEED TO DO" list, but I am kinda wanting to waste a little time these days.

 

[MuToiD_MaN]

he was a big fat gay unicorn

In my mind this just went to a Rule 34 place that I wish it had not gone. Something about a giant planet-shaped pink horned Orson Welles traveling the galaxy, consuming everything in his path.

There's no known way of saying an English sentence in which you begin a sentence with "in" and emphasize it. Get me a jury and show me how you can say "In July" and I'll go down on you.

Euuugh. It all makes sense now.

 

[SpotEnemyBoats]

Unicron is like a unicorn brewed from the fires of hell, just that he is yellow, planet sized and he consumes everything in its path.

Even if Unicron was next to Earth and didn't sit on the planet in robot mode, he would ruin the planetary alignments in the solar system thus creating a shift in the solar system.
