Transformers 2 teaser

[Eejit]

Action movies can be good for reasons other than shit exploding though. Look at Die Hard, Predator, Aliens, Rambo.
The fact is Michael Bay only does two things: fireballs and patriotism. He could do so much more. Hell, The Rock was actually pretty good, but he's come nowhere close to equalling it since then.

 

[Sheepo]

Yeah, true, he can do better than senseless action. But can a live action Transformers movie do better? I don't know if it can or should.

ITT false dichotomy between high and low art. see also: nonces

WELL YOU CAN KEEP YOUR CITIZEN KANE AND SOY CUBA WE LIKE TO HAVE FUN OVER HERE

this would be one time I would actually feel justified in using a :dozey: smiley.

Transformers was awesome and Transformers 2 will be awesome. All you haters can go sit in a corner and bitch to yourselves while the rest of us have fun at the theaters.

Agreed bro, people find movies like Million Dollar Baby, Titantic, etc. exciting simply because they need to have good story with tons of dialogue. People expect too much when they see a movie and expect it to win an academy award... which is why more interesting action movies never receive the recognition they deserve. Unfortunately.

Who gives a shit if it isn't winning an academy award. Moar movies like this, hollywood would be better off... anyway.

Haven't been on the forums in a while, so excuse' mah bump.

I think Eejit said it best about how action movies can be damned good ala Die Hard and Aliens. I found Transformers shit across the board and I knew what I was going into the cinema to see and had turned my brain off prior.

 

[FireStarter]

And now to break up the god damn argument:

Oh, shit blowing up. Certainly not what I'd expect from Michael Bay.

I think I'm the only one that thought of the Robot Chicken episode skit.

"MICHAEL BAYSPLOSIONS!!!"

 

[Bad^Hat]

I will watch this on the condition that Bay learns not to hire cameramen with parkinsons. It would have been a fun movie if not for my throbbing headache.

Oh, and fire LaBeouf.

Edit: And his writer.

You know, just small things.

 

[Eejit]

Hey don't blame the cameramen, it's clearly Bay who gave them Parkinsons.

Ehh, still just likes typical Michael Bay fare.

 

[Sulkdodds]

It took a while before I realised it wasn't just an old trailer for Armageddon.

 

[MJ12]

Man, why did I have to be reminded of that film,

"SIZE OF TEXAS"
"WHAT KIND OF DAMAGE?"
"TOTAL SIR, NOTHING WOULD SURVIVE, EVEN BACTERIA"

[Rizzo]

It's gonna be awesome.

BOOM BOOM BAM

Fag Kid: "Ya don't hide, ya run, and ya run"

Fag Dad:"WEEE IN THIS TOGETHAAA"

BOOM BOOM BAM BAM BAM

Megan Fox: "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

BOOOOM BOOOM BOOM BOOM CRASH


TRANSFORMERS 2

 

[Sulkdodds]

I tell you without any irony that the ending of Armageddon is the most touching and powerful sequence in modern film.

EDIT: That was a weirdly archaic trailer, in that it just went through the entire plot of the film in summary.

Did you manage to write that with a straight face.

 

[Dynasty]

I think he's right, it wasnt done THAT badly.

Hard to think of one that matches.

*Queue the 'nobodys ever heard of it but' film endings*

"SIZE OF TEXAS"

Idiots. Of course bacteria would survive. A meteorite would have to be big enough to smash the earth to pieces to even come close to wiping out all life.

I think he's right, it wasnt done THAT badly.

Pan's Labyrinth.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Pretty typical trailer, but I admired the fact they didn't use any music. Action movie trailer music pisses me off almost as much as comedy trailer music (I'll bet the guy who does the cymbal crescendos for those is rolling in it).

EDIT: That was a weirdly archaic trailer, in that it just went through the entire plot of the film in summary.

Actually I've been seeing it more and more with big action trailers recently. It's not uncommon that I sit through the coming attractions now and think to myself, "welp, I just saved like $20."

Edit: "HOUSTON, THIS IS A KICKASS RIDE!" :bounce:

 

[Kula Meenur]

Bitch yes.

 

[Sheepo]

BOOM BOOM BAM

Fag Kid: "Ya don't hide, ya run, and ya run"

BOOOOM BOOOM BOOM BOOM CRASH


TRANSFORMERS 2

Yeah, I'm pretty excited too.

Just dropping in to say:

Spoiler

Major visual spoiler up ahead. A serious one. The kind of spoiler you don't want to read if you're one of those people who hates seeing movie surprises before actually watching the movie. Just so you know.

Spoiler

THE FALLEN

Spoiler

He translated over well, considering in the comics he was always--quite literally--on fire. It's like he's got magma in his robotic veins.

 

[SpotEnemyBoats]

Spoiler

Along with the Devastator and the Fallen, I think Megatron will return (no matter how cliche that would be)... well at least in the form of a alien tank, as far as I know.

I also think it wouldn't be Transformers without Megatron.
