TRANSFORMERS 2 - as epic as the Pyramids of Giza?!?!?
Hey folks, Harry here - the worst part about this time of the year is that it's pretty damn slow news. Hollywood has shut down to basically honor a cute dog movie at the box office that sucks... but amongst the annoying desperate for material pieces talking about talking movie patrons getting shot, endless best of lists... you get images from the big 2009 films, often times our first official looks.
Well, EMPIRE is a big part of that - their annual new year mag is usually chock full of preview images. Today they have 3 exclusive TRANSFORMERS 2 images - my favorite of which is below. Personally, I'm really looking forward to Giant Robots Kicking Ass In The Shadow Of The Great Pyramids! At least that's what I hope this means.

If I know my epic sci-fi movies.

Where's the King tut Transformer?
-
Couldn't be any dumber than the first Transformers movie.
-
...by AVATAR! So I won't have to watch this tripe. Am I right, fellow Avatards? Yeah, I'm right.
-
...in this one please.
-
That could be pretty good. You could have Arnold Vosloo conjuring up giant dust clouds on one side, and the armies of Megatron on the other. With Brendan Frasier crying into Rachel Weis' panties between them.
-
Shia frozen in carbonite and Optimus Prime losing his hand
-
slow news day, indeed.
-
"Dude! Shut the fuck up, I'm trying to hear that explosion!"
-
There is NOTHING is this photo that gives any indication that this is Transformers 2. This crew could be from the Discovery channel for fuck's sakes.
-
Go over and look if you don't don't believe me...
-
It's a top 50 list and the films are listed in alphabetical order.
-
idiot.
-
There's a shot in USA Today as well. Not the same. I think the Egypt set was built in Mexico or something.

Will it have even more of Michael Bay's Sweet Racism?
by jackpumpkinhead
Aww, that Mike Bay was so cute with his lovable racism in the original "Transformers". I hope to see more of it here! But this time don't just target blacks and Indians, Mikey! Expand, show your true feelings, go 100% L. Ron Hubbard! With the box office take of the first one, you can afford to!
-
man, egypt is picky as hell about who gets access- nay- sets up equipment AT the pyramids....i can't imagine the budgetary payoff involved here. and for probably a 5 minute plot point in this shitty popcorn flick.but basically this just reminds me of the bayification of hollywood, and how much money goes into these peices of shit. i also think the picture of micheal bay filming beside something as timeless and permanent, awe inspiring and powerful as the pyramids is ironic and yet meaningful. on one hand you have what man can do that will speak to mankind for the ages, and then you have a fucking popcorn flick that still cost more to make and will be forgotten in two years.although both probably had the same budget and employed as many slaves and on e self-important 'leader'
-
I JUST JIZZED IN MY PANTZ!
-
-so it's not shot in egypt? oh well, the comparison is still valid. another arrogant asshole makes people build a pyramid to suit his whims.

Where are all the people who proclaimed the 1st film would tank?
by smashing
You where so fucking wrong.Remember that cock who wrote Tino endlessly, I heard he committed suicide after being owned on the world stage of wrongness.As fr the misguided few that expect this film to be rubbish, If you didn't care for Transformers or Cloverfield fair play, why not write a post explaining why you disliked it, don't just say "I hate it, it's shit" because then you end up looking fucking dumb.
-
It'll hep give it a different look than the first installment.
-
to portray characters with humanity and succeed at being taken seriously and being highly entertaining, so why can't transformers be the same? what's their excuse? Why are we forced to watch Shia and all the horrible human characters bumble around being worthless? Why do the titular characters take a backseat to them, and have only a fraction of the screen time? Why???
-
...I'm not seeing this piece of shit. I've been fooled too many times by George Lucas to keep seeing shitty sequels, in hopes that they improve upon their prequels. I don't think so. I see ONE shitty movie in a franchise, it's fucking over, and for me, it's over for transformers.

Explosions! Senseless, random metallic fighting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by crackerfarmboy
Yes! Let's make more pointless extremely expensive, god awful, fucking retarded movies like this!
-
It's a robot that turns into a building. What's fun about that?
-
The Transformers will have some kind on connection with the pharos, There will be an old ancient device that binds everything together inside the great pyrmid ang well you guessed it....both sides want it. Mark me words people.

Bad move. He was the worst part of the first one.

The only good thing out of Transformers
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
Was every word out of Peter Cullens majestic voice. Peter Cullen will pound your ear drums this Summer! It didn't suprise me at all to found out he improvised most of his dialogue. (Except fuck the obvious "my bad" Bayisms and that bullshit")
-
Megan Fox...check
I'm good. -
Nice quote from "Big."
-
Transformers Harder
-
but then the problem is if hollywood made a summersworth of movies which were really smart and well made and were excellent. The people who like transformers, would lash out that hollywood was taken over by the elists. I would like to see more smart movies from Hollywood. But Ill be seeing this anyway. becuase I like both types of films.
-
they usually are among the best!!!
Boobs on Bumblebee!! -
"Megan Fox...check. I'm good." shouldn't be allowed to go to the movies. REALLY!?!? You're the same morons who saw Stealth because Jessica Biel was in it. You people suck...I can only assume that you're 14 and don't see many girls often. If that is you're ONLY pre-req for seeing a film, just stay at home and check out the NSFW on Reddit. Oh, and the movie news there is usually about a week ahead of the movie news here. FUCK!!!
-
More like Pyramids of "Jizz"-a. FUCK MICHAEL BAY!
-
Sweet. Bring it on. Nothing stirs up the AICN TB community like a good ol' fashioned TRANSFORMERS TB.
-
I'm hoping for some more classic TF homages in this movie. TF 1 was alright, but why Bay decided that actual character development for the robot wasn't important, I'll never know. Only Prime, Bumblebee and Megatron were even differentiated on screen. The rest was just a CG soaring spinning metal mess.
And Prime loses alot in the movie too... just like all great heros, it is the pairing of the hero and the anti-hero that truly makes the character. Megatron and starscream ( their characters I mean ) were basically flat and had no personality. -
Wrong! The scene were Tuturro's character reveals his Sector 7 underwear was one of the single funniest WTF??? moments in cinema that year. It's twice as godawfully funny when you consider that Tuturro modeled his character after Michael Bay.
-
Man, I may need to punish myself and watch this after all.
-
Two Words(and a load of hot air)...SOURCE MATERIAL....when Megs is a BIG gun,and i see a tranforming VW Beatle then i will regard this francise as a TRANSFORMERS FILM. Fair play i do enjoy the 1st one as fun but that aside it still smells different
-
Stealth. I avoided it. both In the cinema and on DVD. I knew the thing was horrible the moment I saw the trailer.
-
Truer words, never spoken.
-
Truer words, seldom spoken.
-
Now that is a title I can live with.
-
Thousands of years ago. And the Autobots helped build the pyramids. And then when they did, Tut magically had a pair of apple headphones that were implanted with a signal that when plugged into the correct iPod leads you directly to the silly macguffin this movie will inevitably be about that saves the world when Shia says the correct hilarious one-liner. FUCK BAYFORMERS.
-
...that the typical Human is not much more developed than a house cat playing with a ball of string. The fact there is a desire by the public for a second Transformers movie only confirms that we are indeed dumber than dirt...and that unlike even a simple organism, are incapable of learning from our mistakes. Nobody claims that a Transformers movie has to be Scorsese or Kubrick; but on some level don't you want more than the shit they threw at you? For Fucks sake the Sta Morning Cartoon was more developed and deeper than the utter piss that these hacks threw at you! Christ..what they basically presented us was a movie on the base level of "The Fast and the Furious"..only for geeks instead of welfare baby producing gearheads. Aren't you better than that?!
-
that's why this site sucks all the dicks. never good scoops anymore. shit, linking to Empire Magazine for a story. fucking tools
-
...Fuck Megan Fox, thats all she is good for, and from what is insinuated around the web, how she "Broke" into this business so fast, and how she secures her parts given her INCREDIBLE skills as an actress. If all you want is that tart..here ya go...http://imagefap.com/gallery/1206119. There..I not only saved you $12 bucks but but giving you a reason NOT to go see this mess...I did my part to ensure Transformers 3 never gets made.

More images on USA Today, with explosions and fucked up Optimus
by el mamerro
http://tinyurl.com/7o4bc6
Peep homeboy on the far right of the explosion picture being blown the fuck off his tank. -
...suck like the first one. douche pickle.
-
Jive Talking Robots = Tarzan Shia
-
At the end city-battle when Meg and Optimus are fighting, Meg twists around and slams his arms together forming a big cannon which he fails to fire at first as optimus hits him with something or another but then he does it again and gets the shot off which blows optimus down the street and into that building. Granted, I had to watch the movie probably at least 15 times before I actually caught this but still, it is a very kewl scene.Of ocurse, I found the idea of the military hiding the device sought by giant hostile robots right in the middle of a city filled with people to be preposterously stupid. And when did Voight forget how to act? Of course, ragging on Transformers (which, incidentally, I don't hate) is about as difficult as crushing a toddler beneath a steam roller....er..I mean taking candy from a baby.
-
Fuck everyone. Transformers ruled.
-
During any of the action set pieces in Bay's Transformers. Start counting "1 mississippi, 2 mississippi" until the next cut. Every time the scene lasts less than 3 or 4 seconds...5 tops, punch yourself in the face. My guess is you'll be unconscious before Shia even shows up.I would have said slug a beer or drop a shot but I think we shouldn't be coaxing people into giving themselves alcohol poisoning. Seems kind of rude, no?
-
Most unintentionally porno line in the history of cinema.
You know, TRANSFORMERS could have actually been great if half an hour of the "hilarious" comedy shoved into the film was left on the editing room floor. -
Nothing but a complete reboot with a proper Gen 1 story and robot designs can redeem Bay.
-
I find it hilarious how you just owned the creator of theonering.net, which I go to daily.
Now, every time I check out the site, I'll think of you making fun of his Megan Fox love. -
Dude..chill...I was being vacuous on purpose..it's Transformers not Shakespeare, its all about boobs and 'slosions! Calm down and enjoy life a little.

What do you suppose has been buried in the Pyramid all this time
by frisco
Allspark... no, it's been done. My vote is Tetragon, the proto-energon that could spell the end of both the autobots AND mankind! Also, boobs.
-
...you are younger than 4 or retarded. And I mean severely retarded, not Forrest Gump retarded.
-
It's true, I provided the voice of a jive talking audience member who couldn't believe the shit they were subjected to for two and a half hours.
You may remember me. -
I don't think that we will see bots fighting at this location. Theres not enough equipment or crew for that. Don't you think we'd see the trademark Bay Tank/Cars with cameras strapped to them? No all we see is a very large job, which i Can only guess will lower from a high angle, and then lower onto an actor who will find an artifact or something else unoriginal. I'd bet 10 bucks its something like that. Plus Transformers part one, blew balls. So poop on that Fanboys.

I'm betting that it's just a location shot as the return of the Decepticons means war on a global scale.conspiracy - Nothing you do will ensure that TRANSFORMERS 3 never gets made. NOTHING.

is Meg Fox holding her tit in that Photo.....I think she is.

when i said all you see is a big job...i mean a big JIB. AICN update your boards already

Michael Bay will take a 10 years vacation after T2 flops. -
I have no problem with the transformers fighting in Egypt. Or having a plot line unfold there.
What I do have a problem with is trying to connect everything in human past with their story. It's annoying. In the cartoon the transformers were crashed on earth for 4 million years (much better than Megatron being here 2000 years and the Autobots comin back to get the McGuffin. -
Damn You Michael Bay
-
MNG whatcha got for me home-dog?
-
You too have a lot in common. Book a table somewhere and then sit gazing lovingly into each other's eyes. Afterwards one of you can fuck the other in the ass whilst pretending its Michael Bay.It's a match made in heaven!I may rename myself IAmMrCupid!
-
I bet UNDERNEATH the pyramids are those contruction robots that combine to make one big huge robot! if they go on to say that those constructo-bots BUILT the pyramids so they can hide a mcguffin device... i'll commit suicide.
-
In fact, it was the most depressing movie I may have ever seen. Relentless, actually. The trailor is represented in the first 20 or so minutes, after that it's barely about the dog and more an examination of the difficulties of family at different stages of life (kind of reminded me of a lesser "Giant" in a weird way). Then the last 20 minutes is like a knife through the heart. "Beethoven" it is NOT! Not an AMAZING movie mind you, but certainly not what I expected and definitely not a "cute" flick I'd take my kids to.
-
Oh Snap!
-
I saw it for the effects, Not Shia,not the plot, not the dialog. It was just what I expected. The obligatory product placement was where I thought it would be. I didn't rush out to buy the DVD, but it was the type that I wanted to see on the big screen with all of its glory.

...use the term "it's not Shakespeare". We all already know that TRANSFORMERS were not created by William Shakespeare, but it IS people that say things like "it's not Shakespeare" that keep us from getting less DARK KNIGHTS and more WOLVERINES. Go find your ring.
-
Two years ago you said you couldn't wait for TF b/c you wanted to see nothing but giant fucking robots fighting. Then you review the film and diss it b/c it wasn't human enough (WTF). And now you're back to being excited about giant fucking robots again. Which is it? Pick one!
-
I can read lips.
-
Seriously Harry, sometimes I wonder if you even know understand the things you are so quick to spout out. Whats "Cute" in a story about a couples life, and how times quick relentless passage is marked by the life, and death, of their misbehaving but ultimately beloved dog? That book has reduced grown men to tears...for fucks sake even Howard Stern admitted to bawling over that book. Now I Haven't seen the movie..but I can't imagine it's the "Feel good hit of the year".
-
Dude, you haven't even see Wolverine yet? Why shit on it? Man o man, do you ENJOY movies at all?
-
That is the problem in this country...a society of lowered expectations. I don't need Shakespeare, or even Tolkien. However, I do not want to feel like I've been duped like a fool 2 hours after I hand over my $12 bucks..and that is exactly how I felt after Transformers. I could almost hear that sorry fuck Orci laughing on his way to the bank.
-
the movie uses an orange filter.

can be seen on the USA Today website.

We got some "G.I. JOE" aka "Action Force" images in there?
by anna valerious
Please? I want my romaction fix. (Thank you, Adam Sandler for that new term.)
-
and Bay's action sequences give me a fucking headache...it's constantly too fast and all over the place, I couldn't even appreciate the look of the robots without pausing it. After watching Crystal Skull on BD it's obvious that Speilberg can make a great action scene that the viewer can follow and is actually engaging to watch...Fuck you Michael Bay.
-
seriously, I kinda liked Transfomers 1.
-
Dec 29, 2008 8:54:34 PM CST
And right when we're about to see the giant robot battle royale.
by bass ackwards
Bay will cut away to show us what the army is up to, and then we'll watch Shia do something adorable...
-
I do enjoy movies. So much so I have made them my life. I have an affinity that could probably only be described as love for movies. GOOD movies, that is.Why the Pre-Release dump on Wolverine? Track record. All the whispers on the Fox Lot is that there were lawyers galore on set telling everyone down to the Crafty girl what the "Studio Chiefs" wanted from this movie. Does that sound like an atomosphere that encourages creative development. NOPE.And just WHAT has Fox put out lately that inspired YOUR confidence in them? Just curious, as maybe I missed them.Where was I? Oh yeah, this sequel will suck more than the first one did.Is explosions and tits ALL you want from a TRANSFORMERS movie? Wouldn't it be nice to, I dunno, CARE about the characters? Have a vested interest in the Autobots? Have Megatron be more than a maniacally laughing cliche spewing silent film villian, only you know REALLY fucking loud? Wouldn't THAT be better than just explosions and tits? Guess not.
-
for me to poop on.
-
OOOH THIS TOY ADVERT LOOKS GOOD
-
is explosions and tits all I want from a Transformers movie? No. I would love it if a Transformers movie gave me great characters to care about, a suspenseful, well written storyline with nice dialogue. But this is a Michael Bay film, so we all know we're not getting any of that. Bay is good with explosions and tits, unfortunately he likes to intersperse that goodness with putrid humor, silly one liners and sweet Shia moments. If he cut all that shit out and gave us 2 hours of non-stop explosions and tits, nobody would have anything bad to say about his movies since we'd be getting EXACTLY what we pay for in a Bay movie.
-
Yep, that there is the title...this movie is going to blow more balls than kevin smith.
-
Yep, Micheal Bay will fuck this as bad as "Boy" George Lucas fucked Star Wars and how Peter "Mangina" Jackson will fuck The Hobbitt.
-
Big robots beating the hell out of each other? CHECK....leave your brain at the door and sit back and enjoy the ride.....
-
I don't give a fuck which part she plays.
-
the first film was god awful unwatchable, the only great scene was Megan Fox hitchhiking. Bay shot the film from a human's POV, and you missed all the 'fast' action because micheal bay thinks FAST is exciting, even if it is too fast to actually SEE. the character designs were horrific, and the new pic of a battle damaged optimus means they are keeping the same crap designs. and i am betting the house bay is going to kill off optimus, because they did it in the cartoon, and he will think it is the 'cool' thing to do. i liked bay's early films, but transformers SUCKED ass. them filming in egypt? who cares, the film will still suck ass.
-
I want to see Slim
and Muffy
and Richie -
I liked when Megan Fox was walking away and Shia's like "Comeoncomeoncomeon" and then "Baby Come Back" starts playing and it's all drenched in Michael Bay sunset goodness and Anthony Anderson's like "Grandma drink yo prune juice!" haha cause she OLD!

Do not abbreviate Transformers: Revenge of the Fallenas 'T2'
by thebearovingian
That is a gross injustice. Terminator 2 deserves no such disrespect.BayformersBayformersBayformersBayformers are coming back...for your soul.
-
They wouldn't let me climb all the way to the top though...Anyway, is Wall-E could make a great movie involving practically faceless robots that COULDN'T talk and make them the central focus of the film, then I don't see why Transformers can't! I enjoyed watching Transformers in teh theatre the first time, but subsequent viewings are getting stale each and every time. I haven't bothered buying this on DVD or blu-ray. Maybe I'll entertain that prospect if it's going for $3 like old VHS tapes in a bargin bin.
-
Limewire or Emule.
Why pay to be insulted? -
series on Cartoon Network has everything the movies do not: witty writing, character development, respect for the G1 characters and continuity, innovative ways to update G1 characters, exciting, discernible action, plot continuity...
-
I'm with you on that one. Transformers Animated is fucking great. Bayformers makes a little of me die inside everytime I see a clip. Just on the pure missed opertunities of a decently shot robot fight, with punchy dialogue.

Who the fuck cares about TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION pt 2...
by motoko kusanagi
...when AVATAR is fucking our eyeballs in 2009?nobody
-
Give it to me.
-
Bring on the summer popcorn! :-)
-
But I am truly looking forward to Transformers 2. I have just watched Transformers on Blu Ray and it aint bad. Sure it has problems but it accomplishes what it set out to do, and with style.
-
I'll be skipping GoBots 2 this time around. Fool me once, Michael Bay, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Sweeping shots of iconic landmarks and completely indiscernible robots beating on each other do not a movie make. Go eat a dick, Bay.
-
two species of aliens. One race is good, the autobots. and the other race is bad. the decipticons. Leaders of both groups Megagtron(the good guy) and optimus prime the bad guy. Want the same thing. the energon cube. How to put that on screen. That is the problem. Do you give audiences a lenghty anti war movie. in which two alien races duke it out on earth. over a maguffin which both sides want to deafeat each other. Or do you give audiences a spectacle where these two alien races knock metallic lumps out of one another. I would have love to have seen a war of the worlds type movie. where the aliens rise from the ground and decipticons destroy new york etc. But the people who are going to Transformers. are dense teens who dont want a lecture about. The studios say hey we will give them spectacle with these two aliens duking it out on earth. Which is why they mangeled the day the earth stood still. Not an anti war message to found in that one. Keanu saves the day. I was waiting for the finale and that famous speech and it never came. Keanu is no micheal rennie.
-
they are some ancient robots that are affected by that ultra-cube or whatever the fuck thing that was in the first stupid movie. I can't complain too much because, well, megan fox. I'd tongue her asshole so deep that I'd taste her food from next week.
-
The pictures in dat one was real purdy.
-
Bay is a tool and his movies suck.

GIANT ROBOTS HIDING FROM EACH OTHER PART 2: Tomb of the Dragon Mummy Robot from Space.
-
i hope its another hour and a half of Shia tring to get laid, with a few minuts of robots fighting thrown in to placate the "movie watcher" demographic.
-
If I learn someone actually liked Transformers then I know to avoid them because they can't have the brain power to muster anything interesting to say.
-
I'm pretty sure everyone dissing Transformers liked it when they say it. Yet, it was so popular, they have to crap on it.

-
HATERS. Dear Haters...there's no such thing as a "smart" version of Trasformers. So keep you opinions to yourself.
-
that's why I was glad when he got ripped in 2 in the first one. Wish he wasn't returning at all but whatever. I know there will be some big ass cool set pieces in part2 but if the story is just as thin as the first then it will suck all the same.
-
To say that an intelligent Transformers movie couldn't be made is like saying an intelligent X-Men or Batman movie couldn't be made. There was plenty of good material available in the Transformers comics and cartoons. But all this is a moot point, since Bay didn't actually make a Transformers movie. He could have called it Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and it would have been just as relevant to the original IP.
-
And just about all fans of G1 Transformers have disdain for what Bay and co did in the first TF film in 2007. Is it right to still maintain such a hardline "FUCK MICHAEL BAY" stance on these TF movies? I don't know, but I still remember the video of SS talking about how he was a fan of Transformers and how he wanted to stay true to the G1 TFs, then we started seeing pics from development- Prime with flames, MegaVaginatron, then the leaked script with absolutely shitty writing and terrible piss anf fart jokes. It was all very disappointing after the folks who were making this movie told us we were getting one thing and we slowly learned we were totally getting something else. Something big and Bayified. If you like 'splosions and all-action, no story movies, you'll love Bay's Transformers. I'm not saying it was a shitty movie. I'm just saying there's alot to be disspointed in there for G1 fans.
-
And to MonkeyLord's point, thank Vishnu people like that stayed the fuck away from Nolan's Batman films.

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=51575
and yes, the second picture in this grouping sums up Michel Bay completely -
i expected a big dumb explosionfest featuring giant robots fighting each other. Hell, at one point i could even be called a michael Bay fan. What i got was mostly a movie about some stupid kid trying to fuck a slutty chick while giant hunks of whirling metal occasionally stumble into each other.(i hesitate to call them robots since i could barely tell their asses from their heads, for all i knew they were just tornadoes that had rolled past a junkyard). oh, and dont forget the WACKY COMEDY!!!1! Robots peeing and getting peed on, robots tring to hide in the back yard, robots shooting soda cans...woohoo fucking hilarious! Comedy must truly be the hardest thing to write because the didnt have a clue.
like i said, i expect stupidity but what i got was so far beyond stupidity it sucked all the fun out of it. and there werent even that many explosions until the end. the first 2/3rds had me falling to sleep. ahhh, that wacky Shia and his Camaro, what will they do next? -
i went into 300 expecting to see a bunch of gian, meaty dudes killing the shit out of lots of things and i got everything i could ask for (plus that nifty Miller visual style, though i admit its time to let it rest awhile).
i went into transformers expecting to see giant robot dudes dudes killing the shit out of lots of things and all i got was Shia and a bunch of pee jokes (plus that nauseating Bay visual style i'm sick to death of). case closed. P.S. Predator is the greatest film of all time. -
god, I hope so...maybe if we breed at a higher rate, eventually Michael Bay will go back to making shitty commercials and Paul Haggis will go back to Walker Texas Ranger II, The Search for More Cheese...

More than meets the eye.

Don't you mean "More than meets the Chaapa'ai"
