Harry says TRANSFORMERS 2's Super Bowl Spot is off the hook!
Hey folks, Harry here - just landed in Berlin... About to hop in shower before heading to see Nazis on set, but before I go... Had to post this awesome SUPER BOWL teaser for TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN. Here ya go...
-
+ Expand All
-
No good at all.
-
...rather than obsessively watching for when the TB was going to be posted.
-
and I don't care who knows it.So screw you internets! Yer not the bossa may!
-
No matter what you thought of the first movie, that looks insane.
-
Actually, it does look rather large and slick.
-
That's one of the main reasons why I've only seen the first movie twice in 2 years now.
-
anyone seen that teaser and this one back to back? Obviously Sommers is aping Bay here. Dunno their release dates, but TRANS2 will waste GI:JOE.
-
If they keep that cheese out this might be epic.
-
man these movies piss me off.
-
This is going to be INSANE. I'm sensing an Empire Strikes Back approach...but this is just the teaser....oh my lord...summer ger here ASAP
-
...well the last scene anyway
-
Retarded several times over.
-
Kinda set myself up there.
-
Come on guys, admit it. Let you geek flag fly.
-
I don't care anymore.
-
FIRST Shia bash!
-
How am I supposed to respond to this ad? It looks like it's for a monster truck show. Wake me up when there's a movie called Transformers thats about fucking Transformers, not about douche-bag Spike watching scrap metal blow up.
-
No, I did not mean robot intercourse.
-
THE POWER OF BAY COMPELS YOU!THE POWER OF BAY COMPELS YOU!THE POWER OF BAY COMPELS YOU!
-
...that 95% of the people who are complaining about it will watch it in theatres and buy the DVD anyway, just like they with part 1. (And I'm not ashamed of admitting that I like it.)
-
I didn't give a shit about the first movie, had no interest, went to see it in the theaters, thought it was shit, watched it on DVD, thought it was shit... and you're right. I'm probably gonna go see this one.
-
Up, I do occasionally post here drunk. This is sadly not one of those times. Not even sure what was show in that trailer. But it was nowhere near badass.
-
Looks too messy, and too self important.
-
I am shocked that positive comments out way negative! Are all of the haters in bed? This if a Transformers talkback right? Hell, this is an AICN talkback right? Looks good, can't wait for a HD version.
-
Did you and Me see the same fucking trailer??? Oh yeah that's right, your still craping your shit catchers over the fact that Megatron wasn't a hand gun that tranforms into a robot that's the same size as a mac fucking truck. Yeah that and the no energon, and energon cubes, and no bumble bee as a VWB.. Flame decals be damned...
This trailer is good and you fuckin know it.. -
...and you will find the HD version.
-
Your mother was good. AND I KNOW IT.
-
all that time and $ and thats whay tey give us?
-
and i cannot lie
-
What a wasted opportunity omitting him.
-
Do Transformers fall in love, and reproduce like us?
There's a female transformer in this one. I wonder if they will play out a romance angle with that some how. -
wasnt that a dinobot a saw running around?
-
it looks like some cat dinosaur thing...hmmm
-
Needs less people, more robot fighting.
-
I mean...would you go see a movie just because he was in it? The kid seems very bland...which makes sense to me since all of Spielberg's so-called proteges seem kind of bland: Drew Barrymore, Chris Columbus, LaBeouf...
-
Fuck you unabashed cocksuckers for putting everything Hollywood shits out above criticism. You defend every Hollywood decision no matter how mundane or wasteful. The fact that few of you get paid to do so makes it all the more pathetic. All you hypocrites do is bitch and whine about people who allegedly bitch and whine. That is when you're not sniffing and defending Hollywood's latest shitting contest voluntarily, for free. Fucking tool bags.
-
and the other pixel was like PIXEL!!!! awesome.seriously, I'll wait for the HD version at the superbowl party tomorrow to go on a rant about how Transformers sucked.
-
Shia yeah! Thomas E. Ackerman yeah!
Was this written during the Writers' Strike? -
I you know how that turned out.
-
Your sisters all right. I mean don't get me wrong or nothing. A little loose and dry, and it took a few days and some lye to wash away that Jabba The Hutt Armpit cunt smell she left on my junk.
As bad as that was Rizo. I'll be back- cause like you, you Cocksoar, Knee Scabbed, Self Family Fucking, Niece and Nephew Molesting, Face Ugly Fuck...
You know. No Wait, I'm not done here...
Someone should take a fucking hammer and knock all your fucking teeth into the back of your throat and make you gargle em down with a bottle of broken glass, vinegar, lemon juice salt and some and battery acid.
Ok where was I.. Oh yeah your overly molested and pegnant by you sister. Her pussy is absolute shit, but her ass and mouth like yours are in great working order, and also like yours. Both of these orifices know how to play and please a dick.
So many years with this shit, just fucking kill yourself already. No more pain- You Cocksoar, Kellogg'ed Corn Flake Knee having, Gapping Gay Male Furry Gang Bang Orgy Cum Filled Shit Cover Asshole, Middle Teeth Missing, Self Family and Relations Fucking, Niece and Nephew Molesting Pedoscribe.
You Fucking Jerky... -
click on the link that takes you to the youtube video, and then click on the watch in HD button under the videos right hand corner, It's changed from crappy blocky flash video too nice clean hd mpeg4.
-
thank you, now I can hate on it with full info at hand.
-
was actually rewritten into the script.
-
Old Chinese proverb says, 'Fool me once - shame on you. Fool me twice - shame on me.' I'll wait for the reviews on this one... but credit where it's due, that footage is undeniably spectacular.
-
Looks like Transformers 1, except with bigger robots during the giant-robots-fighting-money-shots and a darker color palette. Um, yeah.
-
Damn You Michael Bay
-
Do the makers really know what the fans want? Apparently not. This trailer should of ended with Soundwave and he speaks and we hear that familiar Soundwave voice and we cream our pants, but nope. Let's not do that. Why? wtf!
-
Yeah!
-
Soundwaves cassette in the original cartoon.
-
I fought epic battles in these talkbacks trying tog et people to wake up to how terrible the first film was and finally I feel vindicated. If you think this is gonna be any better you're out of your mind. it's Michael bay, the guy is a hack, period.
-
I didn't see that first terrible film in theaters and I sure as shit didn't buy the DVD. So fuck you and your asinine assumptions.
-
Seems like this will live up to the promise of being a much bigger spectacle as PT. 1 and as far as I'm concerned that can only be seen as a big +. Great final shot, who's the ultra-sized fucker Prime is fighting by the way ?
-
the snob in me always wanted to dislike the original, but I really enjoyed Transformers as a good dose of summer popcorn. Here's hoping the sequel is just as good.
-
it worked in the comics and in the toons!
-
I can't tell what the fuck is going on because of the messy robot designs... that and Bay needs to PULL THE FUCKING CAMERA OUT. Prick.
-
At least Bay seems to have finally figured out that the giant robots are actually 'giant' and seems to be able to fit them into the frame. We might actually be able to see whats going on this time.
-
well, where the fuck r they?
-
had to say it.
-
What a treat!
-
If the video was in HD, you'd still have no clue what's going on.
-
You want Unicron too?
-
Story was so bad that I couldnt care less about the FX. Shame. I suspect more of the same. And there aint no way I am seeing this in the cinema or buying it DVD. Not good enough by a long way of being in my collection.
-
you just made my day with this awesome teaser.waiting for the trailer now.
-
...people who can't see what's going on, well, I guess your eye/brain thing needs some training. Play some video games or something and watch porn on double speed after snorting a line or two of coke. This film will be a big barrel of fun, Michael Bay is awesome and that's all I have to say :-D
-
Can't tell what the fuck is going on, big size just makes it blurry, small size is too small.
-
I'm good on soda. Got the big one.
-
Drink your Haterade somewhere else.
-
That fucker looked huge, but why does Ravage's face look like a Beholder from Dungeons & Dragons?
-
actually destroys the moment of the action. It's something I hoped he has learned since TF1.
-
transformers meets eagle eye? i take these things as ridiculously expensive tech demo's and on that standard im never dissapointed. darker tone is more interesting, though if its not arbitrary
-
This is movie, they aint trying to condense all that bollocks from the TV shows and the animated film into a few movies. This is an adaptation for today, not the 1980's and you need to be a little more realistic about adaptations as well as getting through to all you guys still believing they're adapting the TV show; THEY'RE NOT! It's an adaption of the toys and their concept. For Christ-Sake enough with the Tv Show comparisons already, it's been TWO YEARS NOW!!
-
Not surprised, but it's been removed from YouTube. Like we wouldn't watch the real thing on the Superbowl if we'd already seen this one.
-
i haveno idea what just happened. but it looks like more of the same to me.
-
i never understood why there are so many haters on the transformers tb's. the first one was great- and this one looks even better.
-

-
Do you get more seconds of SFX per movie if you ask ILM to do it in fucking impossible-to-see Blurry-O-Vision? It's not visionary or contemporary or fucking clever / stylistic / *insert smug-as-fuck reason for shitty SFX here*, it's just fucking amateurish. I still have no fucking idea what 90% of the robots looked like in TF1, and this looks no different. It's just that the bluury-as-fuck robots I can't fucking see THIS time round are bigger. Wow.
I remember when movies used to be PROUD of the SFX they produced, not more intent on keeping them so fucking confusing that we can't see what they are!
And for those of you who think I'm just a moaning old fuck who's stuck in the 1980s, answer me this: would the Hoth battle in EMPIRE have been improved with camerawork like that of Bayhem in TF2, or would you rather prefer to be able to see what the FUCK is going on?
Bay has gone the way of Tony Scott. Only fucking speedheads and coke whores can see quickly enough to understand what's going on in that trailer. Maybe I need to be in the throes of an epileptic fit for it to make sense in my visual cortex... -
"...away from any theater playing Transformers 2." Never saw the first one and it looks like that isn't going to change.
-
And why? Because I can fucking SEE WHAT'S GOING ON in the Hoth battle. And it's MUCH, MUCH BETTER FOR IT!
Bayhem. Bollocks. -
If there's one Bayhem signature shot in this (you know the one, person stands there looking cool, Bay shoots low looking up against the sky whilst circling person in slow0mo), we need Megan Fox in magic hour, slowly taking off her top and winking at the screen.
Mmmmmmm... If Bay fucks up THAT shot I'm coming after him MYSELF. Ah yeah. -
I was entertainated by that movie. Sure, it was ludicrous but was also clever, and LeBitch's performance didn't make me want to punch someone in the head. Maybe putting him opposite a good actress like Michelle Monaghan instead of a street walker like Megan Fox makes a diff.
-
Seriously, who is sufficiently brain dead to think the 2nd movie will be any better than the first failure?
-
out of Shia's mouth, at least that I can recall. He'd be wise to shed that from his repertoire.
-
that people now enthusiastically line up to pay their hard earned money to see 120 minute car commercials. That's all Bay has ever, or will ever make. The 360 shot, slow motion, lens flare lit zoom in with a bottom-feeding soundtrack that he shamelessly regurgitates in intervals of about five minutes in his films is the standard M.O. for flashy, obnoxious car ads, and Bay is such a one trick pony he's never figured out how to adapt the gimmicks to film, which is why all his work seems so disjointed and jerky, because he films in 15 to 30 second visual arcs.
-
Looks like the exact same fucking movie to me
-
and too bad Megan Fox put crappy $200 tattoos all over her pretty body, shes looking semi-skank now
-
The first one sucked donkey balls...the second one takes it a level further and will suck hore-shit. No thanks, Mr. Bay.
-
Your bitching and whining attempts are futile.The movie is already being made and you'll still see it when it comes out(pay for it or not)otherwise there will be no validity to your bitching and moaning.And you need the fuel to stoke the flames of your faggotty hatre.I'm glad Bay is raping your childhood..looks like you all need a little bit of The Bad Touch.I TELL YOOOO!;)

-
this looks fantastic, on par with the first one. Bay is the man.
-

-
Is it possible to cum without actually physically touching yourself? Answer: yes. Enter Michael Bay, stage left.
-
sorry, for double posting, does this mean i will get punished? will i get spanked by Harry?
-
Sorry for everyone who was disappointed by a film adaptation of YOUR TOYS. Surely the greatness of the early cartoons had NOTHING at all to do with the fact that we were seven at the time.
Now, go forth and call me a Bay apologist even though I said nothing about his direction or the upcoming film. -
badly shot.
-
Before G1 fags correct KurtLockwood's mistake.
-
I am sure there's always time for slightly racist humour too!
-
As opposed to the shots in ATTACK OF THE CLONES where it's impossible to follow what's going on because the CG camera is too busy showing off how flashy its swooping shots can be - and forgetting there's an actual battle going on down there that it'd be kinda nice to ATCUALLY FUCKING WATCH.
If I wanted to watch a movie that I'd physically have to slow down and re-edit on my PC just to make any fucking sense of whatsoever, I'd go and buy DOMINO on DVD. Or watch TF1 again.
It's lazy, ineffectual movie-making dressed up as being contemporary and hip and edgy and cool, none of which it is.
Hoth, on the other hand, is true movie magic. Bow down, lowly dogs! -
Meh. After seeing the first one, seeing more of the spectacle shit with the exact same angle as last time is not impressive. Boring CGI crap. But of course, Harry - who is famous for not have any discernment and liking 90% of what he sees - loves it like the geeky tool he is.
-
Talkbacker 1: HATE
Talkbacker 2: HATE HATE
Talkbacker 1: HATE HATE HATE
etc. -
I liked the first one, for the most part, and this one looks like more of the same. All you whiny douchebags say you hate what Bay has done? Good, then please stay home and felate your G1 toys so that I can enjoy the movie in peace.
-
A guy I worked with made the completely baseless assertion that "the next one will have transforming aircraft carriers." Maybe that fool was on to something...
-
Optimus jumping onto that huge thing. Considering Optinus's size, that thing is on a huge scale, whatever it is
-
. but it won't. it will be about Shia trying to get laid, and lots of peeing.
-
HAHHAHAHAHA, I was lambasted when I incinuated months ago that Devastator would show up in the first trailer!! I guess I get the last laugh MUAHAHAHAHA!

Shia Labeouf Was Almost Killed In A Car Crash, For This???
by media messiah
The clips look terrible??? Nothing wrong with dying for your art, or attempting to, just as long as you are making art...but this movie looks like unfocused trash. Was it really worth a late night vehicle crash, and a horrid hand injury? I think not, based upon these clips???
-
I see TINO2 is shaping up to be just as bad as the first film... in fact it's shaping up to be worse than the first film since Bay could have taken the time to reset everything and do a film with the original designs and the proper backstory. Instead he's carrying on with his own bastard creations.
-
Saw Ravage running along there playing fetch, but everything else was a blur of Shia lameness, Megan hotness and confusing masses of computerized metal shards undergoing Grand Mal seizures.
-
People think I am kidding when I say this. Somebody ought to do a action film, the ultimate action film, starring and directed by Michael Bay...where he blows up the world, and then blows up the universe in search of trying to make the most explosive movie ever made!!! I'm telling you, it will be a huge hit...oh, and it must be done in Super Explosive Michael Bay Stereo Scope (uh, that's 3-D folks)!!!
-
Please tell me how can you render your devine judgement on a 30 second trailer? Now you're questioning Shia's injury based on a 30 second teaser that didn't really show shit? What a moronic assessment on your part.
-
Golden opportunity to use claymation.
-
They, the studios and producers, make more money off of stealing the authorship from the original writers and designers of the toys and cartoon series. If they give us the original designs and story details, they'll have to share much more of the profits with the original creators, including merchandising and profits from product tie-ins, and they are too greedy to do that!!! These folks don't give a damn about our childhood memories, or their own, in terms of the original show or toy line and showing respect them, it is all about profit. Trust me on this, Steven Spielberg was never a fan of The Tranformers as he has falsely claimed, or else, he would have given us something closer to the original material.
-
"confusing masses of computerized metal shards undergoing Grand Mal seizures" hehe.. nice post Ghost!
-
If they were adapting just the toys and not the show then why are they using Peter Cullen's voice as Optimus Prime? Answer me that fuckface. By the way using Cullen was the best thing Bay did regarding Transformers. Made the movie 10 times better. He should take more from G1.

I stand corrected that wasn't Devastator in the last shot!
by ganymede3010
According to TFW2005 that wasn't Devastator, it was a diffrent robot that they've allegedly seen the toy for already.
-
nobody except for maybe emmmerich has crafted so much property damage to America.
looks like shit. -
And yes, I/we...have a right to question something that looks bad, even in commercial form. Hopefully by doing so, and quite openly, as others have, as you see...it will move somebody at the studio to take a look at this and say, "Perhaps they are right??? Let's fix the problems now, while we still can...before the film's release!!!"-Steven SpielbergAnd maybe if that occurs, if...indeed, we are right, that this film does look a mess, hopefully should the studio take action, right away, based upon these criticisms, then maybe you'll get to see a much better film than this one appears to be shaping up to be--again, if our read on this clip is correct? And if that read is wrong, no harm no foul, because the film will go on to become a huge hit, no matter what we say...with plenty of pleased fans all around.
-
This is a live action toy commercial dude! Just enjoy it for what it is. Atleast wait for the 90 second trailer before you conclude it's a bad film.
-
At least he better get paid for passionately defending a half-assed but loud Micheal Bay adaptations. Fuck your low standards. Fuck your studio paycheck. AAAAAANNNND fuck you.
-
Hopefully, they'll surprise me!!! I'll take your advice and wait for a more expansive look at the film, it's only fair, right?
-
correction
-
In the words of the former President, 'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me...you can't get fooled again'
-
G1 endures because it was more than meets the eye, bitches.
-
Plus, we haven't even seen anything
from the money shot(Final Battle at the Egyptian Pyramids featuring 40+ robots). Also, we still haven't seen Sound Wave, Sideswipe, or Jetfire yet. -
Paul Blart! Merge for the kill!!!
-
I still find it difficult to expect much of anything from Michael Bay movie, other than some good effects and nausea-inducing camerawork. But I don't hate all of his movies, so there is always the possibility that I will be pleasantly surprised. I didn't care for the last Transformers flick, but if Bay can up the action and cut out the piss jokes and car commercial silliness, then we might have a decent sequel.I know Shia gets a lot of shit around these parts, but I like the guy. He's a talented kid with a ton of charisma. I don't blame the problems of the first movie on him at all, so I trust him to do his best. I'm just worried about the script and Bay's often predictable direction.That said, the action here does look massive and so this might end up being a pretty fun popcorn flick after all. Either way, I know I'll be there on opening weekend!
-
what's this car commercial arguing? its a movie where many robots turn INTO CARS, of course they will show them off a lot. whats next, x-men/wolverine will get accused of being a leather store commercial?
-
Look, I get it, you don't like the movie, but why all the bashing? So Bay raped your childhood, so what? Cry Moar.
Does your fag-anger fueled, irrational, angry opinion affect my desire to see the movie. Nope. The funny thing is you crybaby douches actually think that if you moan loud enough that the studios will listen to you. THEY DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU WANT, get over it, and get over yourself. -
Thank ILM for more incredible effects, the only thing worth seeing in Im sure another horribly written Bay movie.
-
Just like the first one. Now how ironic is it that The Beef was in a drunken car accident? REVENGE!!!
-
AND actually focused on making the robots characters. But I can count on this movie focusing mostly of Shia and the GIs, having retarded meaningless distractions like piss jokes, Shia trying to win over Fox, computer hackers (and their grandma!), goofball government agents, blah blah blah, all interrupted by robot mayhem that almost looks cool but turns into an incomprehensible mess. Yikes, that was a rant huh, ok out of my system. Except one thing. Why make a fucking transformers movie and then spend NO time focusing in the transformers?!! You think GI Joe is going to ignore the Joes and just make them the requisite mayhem happening around a half assed "civilian" stories? Blah.
-
LOL. I love G1 fags..they're tho thilly.
-
Wake me up when that happens. I'm sure this... thing... will be about as awful as the first one, but have cool efx. Is there really anything else to say? Not reall.
-
But why does Optimus Prime keep getting his ass kicked?? I mean, he did kill Bonecrusher in the first film, and that was cool. But what else?? I want to see him cream motherfuckers. Not kill one, and then get his ass kicked during the final battle. Lol!
Anyways, this film looks sick. When it comes to action, Michael Bay is one of the best out there right now. When it comes to plot, and character developement, he sucks. But then again, I don't expect much else from a film like this. :) -
going to the movies.I like mindless summer popcorn flicks that are a lot of fun to watch. If Bay had stayed true to the original crappy dated designs in the movie I would still go see it and have a good time. You G1 fags can't enjoy life without bitching and moaning about everything can you?. It's only a movie ya fags. I TELL YOOO!!;)
-
The fans demanded Cullen's (Optimus Prime's voice) involvement and the the studio said yes. So shut the fuck up about your dead-wrong assumptions that the fans don't matter. People hated Jar Jar. Vocalized. And guess what douchenozzle? Less Jar Jar in subsequent sequels. Yes your gay for Bay. That's no reason to shout down fans for having a thing called standards. Without standards every movie would be Van Helsing which you probably have encased or shrined. Bitches.
-
If your doing a studio plants work for free your even more retarded than previously suspected.
-
But I remember back when Bay announced a couple of characters that had been cast as "comic relief"
That killed it for me. Fuck comic relief. I hated that fucking "masturbation" scene in the last Transformers movie. -
I hope the word "sike" comes back into stilt too. You know, "I really like black lights...sike!" Oh oh, and "rad." Good times good times.
-
your name does fully explain your bitter existence. Fans do matter...fans of the first movie..you know,the ones who plopped down $300+million. That's why we got a sequel.And we're going to have a good time at the movies again.You fags can stay home and jerk off to your precious toys and G1 DVDs.Everybody wins no?
-
I also hope they have another 15 minute long slapstick sequence with the robots awkwardly falling down in his back yard again. cause, you know, thats what a giant robot movie should be about -- pee-pee and falling down going boom. I hope they have some fart jokes in this one. Also, LOTS of "hysterical negroes" (essentially black actors doing their own version of blackface) and other screaming racist stereotypes.
-
I love all the people who act like the only reason people didn't like the first one was because it didn't follow the cartoon/toys enough. Pull your heads out, most people didn't like it because it was a shitty movie with crappy camerawork, cheesy dialogue and annoying "character developement", which not only did not make you give two shits about anybody in the movie, but just dragged on like piece of roadkill trying to claw itself out of the road. The movie was fucking shitty by the basic standards of movie-making and even giant robots couldn't save it. That being said, I can't help but hope that this one does what the first one couldn't and will give it a shot, but I can't help but think that Bay is too pompous to change his ways this late in the game. Crossing my fingers...
-
for gods sake, SHUT THE FUCK UP!
-
They should totally change his name to that. Cause thats what the character was always about -- giving golden showers to actors who should know better.
-
Transformers > all porn combined
-
Do that was like a, what? A minute, minute and a half sequence out of a 2 hour movie? And it cost how much to make? (Keeping in mind that at least 50% of that budget clearly went to cocaine.)
-
All I said was that the trailer looked cool but that the movie would still have lines in it like, "my bad". and that I would still see it.
-
I watched the old series and the animated movie like any geeky teenager. I'm just not fag enough to get all rabid about the updated changes.And I really thought one of these anal G1 fags would spot your mistake first.Oh by the way, I do enjoy reading posts about your industry stories :)
-
Meh. Transformers is what it is; a brainless action movie, directed by Michael Bay. Still not a fan of Shia; sorry, kid. You're grating on a Ben Affleck level.
But I'm sure it'll be entertaining on my monitor when I download the avi file. -
"Those aren't ideas. They're SFX."
-
Yes Palpatine, your grasp of the English language is pretty faggy. Only a fag fag would think the first movie was a good fag.
Me thinks you doth fag too readily. Flashy fag FX is no substitute for faggy story. Fag Fag FagYou 'tard lol -
...your name in ecstacy...but that will be because while you're asleep, I'll be telling her my name is Laser Pants, then I will be making every last one of her sexual fantasies come true. So yes, she'll be screaming your name...but thanking God for me as I deliver multiple orgasms upon her!!!
-
just getting this film made, with a budget and SFX better than you'd see on the Scifi channel on a Saturday night is a win...the same thing goes for the GI JOE movie....
-
How do you know a movie more loyal to the source material wouldn't have been better received? Do you have a bootleg copy of a purist version of Transformers from an alternate universe? If so email me a link.
-
Should look great!!!
-
thats why they were deleted because all ur comments are little whores that dont know how to behave infront of guests. do us a favor buy yourself a deodorant, coz u smell of cock sauce.
-
That's pretty faggy funny....ya fag ;)
-
Pyramid scene is gonna be more than awesome, Bay is keeping all the good stuff away from the trailer if you can believe that. oh and I forgot you're an asshole who likes to dildo his dog, i wanted to tell u that last week but didnt find u.
-
It would be seen by millions anyway you dolts! Who cares if the teaser is viewed hours before the game. Go Cardinals!
-
try this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_FDGJ-Z0zY
-
...unless they are you. I'm sure I'll be dildoing you again soon...and Michael Bay will be helping me to do so!!!
-
same as TRANS 1 but its probably gonna be a shit movie overall. A Cheese teen comedy sprinkled with some robot action here and there.
-
I love Transformers, but I was wrong when I watched the live-action movie. I for one will be boycotting Transformers 2. No matter how sweet-looking the trailer is, I am boycotting it. Let's do this, together. Who's with me?
Knibb High football rules. -
They're going to make this trailer disappear. Ah it'sss gone.
-
Mr. Count Screwface... what you just said is one of the most insanley idiotic things I haver ever heard. At no point in your rambling incoherent response were you even close to anything that would be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this talkback is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points... and may god have mercy on your soul. :P
-
all "clip removed by request" messages should be in german, it just adds character, lol!
-
we were supposed to not acknowledge Count Screwface-comment's existence but thanks to you, now it exists amongst us. nnext time IGNORE and never look back. aintitcoolnews talkback isnt a walk in the park, needs some practice getting around this neighborhood
-
Read my post again, take deep breaths and concentrate real hard. I said the movie was shit, not solely because it didn't follow the cannon, but because it was, in fact, just a shitty movie.

Cna we seriously ALL agree to boycott this and GI Joe
by industrykiller!
And maybe put some tarnish on HORRIBLE studio hack directors like Michael Bay and Stephen Sommers, or at least keep them away from franchises with potential. Seriously if you MUST see one of these films just to see for yourself then buy a ticket for another film at a matinee and sneak in. Start putting your money where your mouth is.
-
Media Messiah--dont kill urself because if you do ur parents will know who told you to do it, because the internet hides no secrets and i dont feel like going to jail for pushing some depressed suicidal maniac over the edge.

More of the same awful human characters, if thats what you want out of a Transformers film then please get the fuck off this site.

are u disturbed? would u rather watch shitfests like slumdog millionfuck or breast milk or benjamin buttonpusher or in brudgefucking XXX? no, so shut the fuck UP! Transformers is cool! i took a film class, and it asked me which film that most influenced me and i wrote TRANSFORMERS!!!---but i got a 'D' for that class.
-
Yeah, Bay makes big loud insane movies, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love his shit. One of the best action directors out there. The last half hour of Transformers had some of the most badass shit I've ever seen. I have no problem following what's going on in the action sand nobody does the insane stuff that he can do, how he gets some of those shots I have no idea. Nobody can pull off the stuff he pulls off and I do mean NOBODY. Yeah it lacks some coherent story, but fuck it, I have too much fun at his flicks to worry about it.
-
Anyone who thinks michael bay knows what a good movie is needs to watch pearl harbor again and kill yourself. You are one of "those" people who are responsible for all the hollywood shit by making all these crap movies continuously make money. Just look at his filmography, his movies just keep getting worse!
-
You really wish people to kill themselves for enjoying movies that you dislike? What the fuck's wrong with you?
-
Yes. Congratulations on cracking the code. I want people to die based on their taste in movies. I was in no way being overly dramatic on an Internet talkback. Welcome to a world without sarcasm. Reward yourself with a repeated viewing of the not-at-all shitty "bad boys 2". Jesus Christ (yes the real one, not a figure of speech). By the way, did a fictional star wars character really fuck your dog?
-
Go suck a bag of dicks, I don't think a single one of you will boycott this movie. Even considering how much shit you talk I bet ANYTHING you WILL see this movie in the theater and you WILL buy it on Blu Ray/Dvd. And smatt584, really, go kill ourselves, really? How's that bag of dicks tasting? Ha ha ha ha! I fucking rule!!
-
Still going to watch this shit at least once because I never learn from the past and I function best at least knee-deep in hypocracy. Btw, bags of dicks are a little too salty for my tastes, but I guess it still beats the food at the cheesecake factory.
-
whats with that name man, whats up with you? smatt584 brought this to my attention and now i want to know whats happening inside that head of yours man.
-
I was one of the biggest haters I saw it did not pay and I never saw it again every times its on HBO I change the channel and I have absolutely 0 desire to see this.
-
There is no boycott on this movie. For there to be a boycott people must have an urge to see the movie in the first place. The first film was painful to sit through and I would have walked out if the person I was seeing it with wasn't liking it. I was watching the cinema ceiling for the most part. I'm so never watching this second one especially as that it is the same Director, even more rushed script that the first film and most of the shots in the trailer are recycled from the first film. All that and the robots still look like rubbish and Bay movies are sexist.

omg it cant be THAT bad. seriously i watched all kinds of junk and i never had the urge to leave that place. but TRANSFORMERS was awesome at least the CGI amazed in some way. and why on earth are bay movies sexist?--is it because of megan fox?--does she make the rest of the female population look bad in comparison...if this is the case then i understand.

Spoken like a true idiot! For there to be a boycott there has to be a interest in seeing it?! WTF? I am pretty sure this film will open to the tune of 120 million plus. I didn't mean to be a dick, I was just saying. However, you expect ANYONE to believe that you were staring at the ceiling the whole time? Right, right. I don't know a single person, and I know a shit load of people, that after paying for a movie, ANY movie, that is going to stare at the screen the whole time. One more thing. All the reasons that you gave that the movie is going to be shit are the exact reasone everyone will see it. We know the director, hes made some of the most thrilling action set pieces of all time. The script.What script, who gives a fuck. I'm not going there to think about anything other than giant robots and shit blowing up. There might as well not be any talking at all. Who cares, this isn't The English Patient. And sexist? Yeah, most fat girls would say that. Love ya!

This trailer didnt look good for Optimus...I sense death scene.
by dogmatic
I will never forget being on the school bus having not seen Transfomers: The Movie yet and some mean older kid saying Optimus dies. I refused to believe it b/c you CAN'T kill the main good guy. Then I saw it and cried and cried that Optimus died. Even now when I see that scene I get sad thinking how it made me feel when I was a kid. If they can give Optimus' death in this that kinda weight then it will earn that many extra points for adding more of the soul that was lacking in the first one. I do agree that this seems to be Transformer's "Empire" as things dont look to go so well for them. Bring it on! Looks 10x better than the first one and I loved it! If you dont wanna see robots beating stuff to shit and massive explosions why are you on this talkback???
-
...starring Megan Fox's pink zone.
-
The first film was pure popcorn entertainment that netted shitloads of money after all your wee rants about epic fails and boycotts.. now this trailer just confirms what we all know, Michael Bay is "the" no. 1 choice for this type of movie! that looked fucking out of this world!
-
We all become enraged in the TalkBacks from time to time (okay, more than that)...all offenses are forgivable.

Full of...well, you know.Anyhow, I've already seen the action sequence of this sequel -- I crumpled some pieces of aluminum foil, smacked them together, and rolled them down a hill.

This is what I have been talking about/mentioning!!
More trailers like THIS as opposed to see links/photos/sites that show images of "toys" that are going to be released in conjunction to a film.
With THAT said?
This trailer kicks ass and it looks like the Movie is going to be incredible too!! Can't freakin' wait!! :) -
You gessed it man. That trailer left everyone breathless. Which prompted them to breathe out of their mouths instead of their noses.
-
Michael Bay really knows how to make a trailer.
Shame he's not so good at making movies... -
but no one says anything because no one wants to appear sexist. i swear females on the internet get away with lots of shit. while a poor fuck like media messiah get bashed by everyone for saying nonesense and because hes a male. even though i think media messiah is a transvestite but i could be wrong.

SEXISM COMMENT IS BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by illuminate
Power_Girl is probably a "wanna be" actress who was rejected by Micheal Bay. I have met a lot of actresses who couldn't act there way out of a paper bag who have met Micheal Bay and all these sleaze bags say is that Micheal Bay won't cast me because they won't sleep with him. He won't cast you because you are a lazy hack who does not taking acting seriously. You have to have some acting skills and a commitment to be cast in a movie. It's 2009 and unfortunately there are still A LOT of women who like to use the “gender card” to delusionaly try to cover up there own faults therefore, they blame others.
Micheal Bay is a genius and action movies would not be were they are today without him. If anything Micheal loves women since, he makes them look so great on film.

EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by illuminate
I remember when people were accusing Bay of being racist with the first Transformers well, those idiots who don't do there research were not aware that Bay directed Bad Boys 1 and 2 with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. People are just assholes these days and try to say whatever. Well, people aren't stupid and if you point the finger than remember there are four more fingers pointing back at you.
Back to the trailer, it looks awesome. It makes GI Joe look like a TV movie. I never thought that Bay could have brought Transformers to another epic level since the first one was so epic but, he did. -
Michael Bay used to do playboy videos when he first started. but i disagree with her because Bay is a very intellegent person who DOES make women look good in his movies, and not in the whole "action-gun-girl kicks all ass" kinda way that is gay and it lame attempt that was done to seem edgy.
-
Maybe a cross between Battlecat and Gypsy with kill 'em gear
-
I wasn't being rude in any way. How is saying this movie is going to have the line, "my bad" in any way a reason to say my comments suck. It is you who are out of line sir.
-
looks like fun, albeit dumb fun. Can anyone get some still shots of those GIANT FIGHTING ROBOTS?
-
...and I just made that up. They (the evil Hollywood producers) would probably cast Hayden Panettiere in the role. Megan Fox is a good screamer, but about 100, drunk, frat guys already knew that.
-
Girl? Really? Common, Power Woman!! Power_Person, Power_Individual!

#2 - If it *bends*, it's funny. If it *breaks*, it's not funny!
The glass door broke, dude! -
...but if he was to use the pseudonym "Michael Bay" for kicks all of you would whine and bitch and say how horrible it looks.
It's a thirty-second teaser of robots running and blowing shit up. Chill the fuck out. At least wait until we see an actual trailer before you start your pointless, obnoxious bitching. -
Are hilarious. It's a movie about giant fucking robots. Yeah the first one had some annoying shit in it (Sector 7), but the effects were undeniably top notch and the action delivered. Sure the story about the cube was a MacGuffin and the story wasn't strong. But who the fuck cares? This movie wasn't made for you. As a kid I loved Transformers, had all the toys, and I saw the film in the first grade in the theaters. I remember Prime dying after his epic battle with Megatron making me sad as fuck. But people come on. Let's remember who this movie is mainly for. The kids who have money to burn. And as long as they spend their money and driving these films to profitability, they will keep getting made. It's a movie based on an old cartoon that was created solely to sell toys. What is the issue here? Little kids love it. My little cousin has seen this movie dozens of times. And that's what matters. Who goes into a movie called "Transformers" thinking it will be life changing or seriously expecting the filmmakers to uphold the source material as something sacred. No one gives a fuck what old school characters crazy fans want to see. I know it's rough for some of us kids of the 80's to accept the fact that we are now older. But remember you are not the target audience for this movie.
-
Why is it that she is "selective" with film roles? It seems like all she does is Transformers movies. Is she the new Chris Tucker? She's only good looking but not a strong actor. Why isn't she in more "Jason Statham Pays His Mortgage" kind of stuff? She better wise up before another youngin like AnnaLynne McCord starts taking her attention away.
-
Then again she's not doing "Bride Wars" or those type of movies is she? "Jennifer's Body" seems to be taking a long time to come out. Though I wouldn't be surprised if she became Lara Croft with an American accent. She should do that movie where she falls in love with a Russian stripper that she was talking about. Very indie.
-
I kept hearing that the movie was pretty awful. But she needs to get a move on. She's the hot "It" girl of the moment and she had better capitalize on her fame while the iron is still hot. I mean she's a better actor than Alba, so that should count for something.
-
Oops! (Bay drinks your milkshake)
-
too busy, then you are right on. Color me there, but unimpressed. Try doing that shit in slow motion so we can appreciate a little detail...or is that asking a bit much?
-
Now if only those going to BotCon get to see a rough or finished edit like we did in 2007... but *sigh*... doubtfulBut please let Megan Fox NOT be Lara Croft... girl is pretty, but thus far, I don't think she can act.
-
Bongo and Illuminate, please go tell Paramount president Brad Grey that this ploy of invading geek talkbacks and licking Bay's sack isn't working.
Geez, it's the same with the GIJOE and WOLVERINE talkbacks; studios must be getting very nervous.
Oh, and that 3D gimmick last night for MONSTERS VS. ALIENS? Lame. -
What's next? Tinkertoys The Motion Picture? Christ, people. Grow the fuck up.

by arctic monkey

Don't laugh...it could happen!
-
If you haven't worked out by now that the trailers for Michael Bay films look great - because they disguise his lack of skill for character or storytelling - but that the films themselves are strangely boring... If you haven't worked that out yet then you deserve to loose $10 and 2 hours of your life watching this piece of shit.
-
This teaser melted your grandfather's nutsack and you blew a nice one in your Levi's over it. AND YOU KNOW IT! Especially when Jetfire ripped apart the freeway bridge and Prime took a sharp one to the face shield!! TF II WILL DESTROY!
-
Beat it.
-
Regarding the teaser... it was great, but it's also pretty obvious that this taste is largely supposed to serve as a lead-in to the "real" trailer coming out on 1-13-09. This montage seems to work better when viewed on a larger screen, and the screen I was watching didn't give the full effect, yesterday. Still, once Jablonsky's music and Cullen's voice are added somewhere in the background of the full trailer, I question whether this teaser would be able to stand on its own. Kentucky Colonel... it could and it should. If done correctly (with the right visual sense and some fitting sci-fi concepts) Micronauts would be excellent. The challenge would be whether the company that owns toy rights is willing to partner with Marvel Studios (as Marvel Comics created a bundle of non-toy characters that helped shape that universe).
-
Like last time the commercial seems to focus on the decepticons rather than the autobots. Can't wait to see Devastator trash everything in his path,though.
-
If being a discerning consumer with higher standards than what the first installment of Transformers cared to meet makes me a conformist jagoff, then I wear that mantle with pride. You can immerse yourself in all the mediocrity you want. I'll go blow my load on something else.
-
and more character to dilute the story a little. I would perhaps like it if a included the little Unicron side-story...
-
Mental eh? oh BUGGER! Wrong website...
-
My grandfathers' are dead and I don't wear Levi's. Even if both were true, this movie would suck more cock than your entire family of doctors-turned 7-11 clerks.
-
PUH-LEASE! You only liked it because your girlfriends' jaw dropped low enough to fit your tiny penis in. This movie will BLOW COCK, just like CyberVishnu's entire family of doctors-turned 7-11 clerks.
-
...and I still don't know what the frakking difference is between a Decepticon and an Autobot. I mean, Decepticon sounds bad, because deception is a bad thing, but Autobot is hardly something to aspire to, surely? Anyway, look, I held off for ages then the many posters & people saying 'wow, it's incredible' talked me into seeing it. And how dumb did I feel when it did, in fact, suck. It's not always a nice feeling to be right. Sometimes it hurts real bad.
-
didn't really care for the first transfromers movie, so my mind is obviously made up regarding the sequel.
-
The first film is awesome, this looks even awesomer, I don't get the hate for number one, humans where needed to prevent the film from becoming one long CGI fest.I thought they balanced a good story with giant alien robot action pretty well, this one looks balls out and I can't wait, though will have too.

" The Bang" is exactly the same than In "Attack Of The Clones"
by twiggystar
During the asteroid chase, between Jango-Fett and Obi-Wan. If I were, Ben Burt. I'll ask where that sound came from...
For the trailer itself, it looks meh, didn't harry complained about the lack of wide shots during the
fights? This one looks just the same, Bay please I want to see the fights, not their faces all the time. -
You spectacular lunatic.
Can't argue with Robocop on a unicorn. But tell me, what do YOU prefer - the Hoth style of battle or the Geonosis BSG-style crash-zooming hyper-kinetic bollocks we get all the time these days?
The perfect compromise? See Zopic's work on FIREFLY and SERENITY - enough crash-zooming for the ADD kids but enough proper spatial awareness for us old bitter fucks to know who's shooting at who, where and when.
"Someone, FIRE!!!" -
And say that the only Bay movie I want to see next is BAD BOYS III.
Say what you want about how shit his other movies are, but character matters in the BB movies, both leads are fantastic, and they're just unpretentious popcorn flicks full of enough kick-ass action to make me feel I've got my six quid's worth.
I loves me some BAD BOYS action. Make III NOW!!! -
What does that even mean?
-
Oh, that fucking BOOM noise...
Not only is there no sound in space, but a sonic bomb wouldn't cut rock in half in a perfect line, either. There's so much wrong with that Obi-Wan / Jango chase scene in AOTC from a physics point of view, I really don't know where to start... -
I hear your argument, God knows, I agree with you.
BUUUUUUT...
Why assume that just because it's a kids' movie (which it so obviously is) that it has to have a shit story?
Some of the best kids' movies of late have had some solid storylines to them. THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES was fun AND made sense. LEGEND OF THE WATER HORSE - great sense of time and place, solid coming-of-age story. It's worth noting that neither of these relied on SFX in the same way TF1 did.
Nowadays, SFX seems to be used to hide the fact there is NO story, rather than used to service a slid story in place first. And that's a very sad trend to have to see, and it's only getting worse.
Remember when kids' movies didn't suck? -
Don't want to diss the best-kept secret in special effects. Zoic rock HARD in their TV work, and if they did DOCTOR WHO, maybe it wouldn't look so shite.
Just sayin'... -
That trailer was iffy. Devastator is a unicycle - LOL
Its simple to do a good Transformers movie for fuck sake!
Start again like so.....
Transformers crash land on earth as per cartoon, create good guys bad guys - get some dinobots, piss about with energon cubes then while that shit is going on have cybertron battle going on wake up Prime - bring Unicron threat in, have the underbase sage with starscream at the same - have a monster mash up at the finish! Bring in Death head and the dudes from junk!
Finish with YOU GOT THE TOUCH!!
How fucking hard is that man!!! 2 hours easy - crack away Bay! -
It means you are white.
-
Yes, the trailer looks badass, but so did the trailer for the first movie. Nobody is saying that the trailer visually looks bad, but we do remember the ruse from last time, pretty bait with a big mean hook inside. The people who know the difference between a movie that's mindless fun and one where only the mindless enjoy it all know what i'm talking about. We'll all see it at least once because the promise of badass robots fighting is big and shiny in our minds, but deep down, we all know it'll just be big, slow-motion American flags all over everything and John Tuturro is his underwear all over again. And anyone who doesn't think Michael Bay is out of touch needs to remember Optimus saying "my bad" and all the shitty "my parents are so uncool" moments in the first movie, like they were lifted straight from a bad 80's high school movie. I don't give a shit about the cartoon, never read the comics, and thought the toys were fun growing up, but am in no way a Transformers geek, i just like good movies, but Michael Bay hasn't made an decent enjoyable movie since Armageddon (guilty pleasure). He used to be good for some "mindless fun" movies (Bad Boys 1, Armageddon, The Rock), but now his shit is just plain retarded and i have to say that, at this point, for someone to say that they love Michael Bay just makes me shudder at the prospect of their IQ scores. Seriously, and people give Snyder shit about his slow-motion style, which he's only used in one movie, Bay does the same shit ove and over and his fans will suck him off with a smile. Fucking sheep, enjoy your "slow-mo fly-by of an American flag accross a golden sky" bullshit.
-
Michael Bay's career peaked in "Mystery Men." This looks as retarded as the first Transformers.
-
Dead on. I'll definitely be thinking of Gyps when this gets Rifftrax'ed.
-
The Transformers hate in the talkbacks is fucking pathetic. I'm a hardcore fan (autobot tattoo on left arm to show my allegiance) and I was pretty damn happy with Michael Bay's efforts. The original designs would suck on screen in 2009, Transformers NEEDS comedy to make it appeal to the kids (not all fans are pushing 30)and this Superbowl spot fucking blew the competition away. Hate away, it'll still gross enough to make a third, and I'll see that on opening day too.
-
...that Bay pulls a Schumacher and makes something so horrible it ruins his directoral career, a la "Batman and Robin". Uh-oh, here come the B&R defenses, maybe this wasn't the right talkback for this comment, what with all the Bay-lovers and all, can't be too interested in movie quality...
-
'That trailer was iffy. Devastator is a unicycle - LOL' Woo you nailed it, except it's NOT Devestator, it's one of the bots that are incomplete in bot mode that need to unite to form Devastator. Devastator will be at least 3 times taller as he has at least 5 bots making up the sum of his parts.
-
Stating that you're a "hardcore fan" of the franchise that the movie is based on only hurts your argument, as you would probably rather see a steaming pile of a movie based on your favorite franchise and cut it heaps of slack by chalking the tons of shitty scenes as "necessary" for kids, (while ignoring the blaringly obvious fact that the fucking movie is about giant robots fighting and is obviously going to already guarantee putting them in the seats, thus negating your reasoning), than no movie at all...
-
...by bragging how much it's going to make at the box office. You think we care how much money something is going to make 5-6 months from now? Meet The Fockers and Carrey's Grinch movie made a truckload of money too; those aren't exactly movies that are kindly viewed upon.
-
no, i'd be first to line it up against the wall and shoot it. Beast Wars, Armada, they're all tat. I'm with Harry on this, aside from Bourne, Transformers fucking owned 2007, and judging by the tv spot, it's got 2009 in the bag as well. It out terminatored Terminatr.
-
What's with Bay giving the new Terminator movie shit for having some bigger robots in it? As if he owned the patent on big robots, it's not like they trasnform or anything. Shit, even the Transformers property has been around for decades and Bay is only adapting it for the big screen, and poorly, might i add. Jesus, a fucking ego like that must tear through abused prostitutes by the dozens. Oh, and Britannia, if that were true, you wouldn't be making excuses "for the kids"...
-
I think the criticism there is that if Skynet can create Devastator sized bots that can smash entire buildings apart, it doesn't need to send anything back through time. It just unleashes them on mankind and watches the resistence get destroyed. I have hope for T4 though, I think it looks decent, as in better than T3. As for TF, I'm not making excuses, it was a fun movie, jokes and all. Hate on it all you like, it's gonna be awesome.
-
Nostalgia, here we come:

I don't think Bay made any kind of comment about the plausibility of the film's plot (especially since that would directly attack the plausibility of humans having any kind of chance in his transformers movies either), he was quoted on his blog being all bitchy about there being big robots in another movie this summer, even though it does make sense, since Terminator shows the understandable progression of skynet to attempt to create large-scale destructive robots and makes the slow bulk of such large machines reveal their true limitations in a physics-based world, thus creating the necessity for smaller, more agile machines capable of infiltrating the human resistance and destroying them from the inside.
I just hate that we're stuck with a hack director who limits the true potential of a franchise and ensures that as long the movie makes a bunch of money, (which,let's face it, it would still make money based on the strength of the brand alone regardless of who directed it), we'll be stuck with a no-talent jackass who doesn't give a shit if the movies are horrible as long as the special effects look good. If you like movies based solely on the quality of the effects, then great, just make a similar product and leave the license alone, otherwise, there will always be people like me with justified criticisms of an inferior product. -
...I think he's a dick. And while I would love to get someone like Cameron, or Spielberg, or even some of the Japanese Anime directors to helm it, Bay delivered a balls out action spectacle. It could have been better, we could have seen Prime and Mes fighting properly, and not just in the background, but overall I was satisfied that it was a decent update to an admittedly cheesy 80's franchise.
-
I strongly feel he owes me my money back for most of the mind-numbing stupidity he's passed off as films in the past, but I admit I was engaged tremendously by the last TRANSFORMERS film and I'm looking forward to TRANS2.

It should be giant fighting robots fucking our eyeballs this year, not avatar, grumble, grumble... *kicks rock with dirty sneaker*
-
Need more gravity to attach to your PG rated robot fight movie? Just use the sound design they attached to Terminator: Salvation spot released MONTHS BEFORE. Just use a filtered synth pad, set to a modulated release cycle that evolves into a theme song. No one will notice, really. Talk about a "me too" campaign...jesus.

watched that video like 10 times and still don't know what I saw! Think only 1 giant robot transform into a car... ravage looked retarded (but I can live with that) And to much Shia...
As for being pissed off at Bay damn right I am... I can live with Megatron not being a gun, and bumblebee not being a beetle because fuck, if they want to be a gun or a vw beetle they could just look at guns and beetles and become them!!! dumbest part of the 1st movie was bumblebee's "upgrade" Also enuff with the "transformers" looking like GM concept cars, best way to blend in it to become something that no-one else can buy!!! Hopefully GM goes under so they can't ruin transformer 3.
And yes I will buy this DVD too, the movie won`t be bad, but it will only be a fraction of how good it could have been!!! -

Didnt 'off the hook' become 'off the chain' like 4 years ago?

BTW - if Shia is not a boxoffice draw - explain Eagle Eye
by jackrabbitslim
Was it the draw of DJ Caruso? Loved Salton Sea - it tanked at the box office. As did Taking Lives. As did 2 For the Money. Was it the power of Billy Bob? Whatever. Michele Monaghan? Sneer. I agree - i think the kid has limited talent - but denying his ability at the b.o. is rank ignorance.

first Transformers was ok, it was some entertaining stuff mixed with some meh but overall was not worthy of the massive RAGE it incited (though Vern certainly does have a point when it comes to the action sequences) and this trailer looks pretty cool, so I'll probably be there....

I do not consider myself a Michael Bay fan
-
Transformers Animated has demonstrated how to properly adapt, update, and improve upon the original, while staying true to its spirit.
-
Really! The guy is an awesome filmmaker. He makes balls to the wall action films which give you your value. He isn't Kubrick, and doesn't pretend to be. Frankly most of the fanboys on here are just jealous that they are leading lame and empty lives while Michael Bay goes and proves himself as one of, if not the most, profitable filmmaker in the world today. Auteur he is not, but he will make you eat your words this year with the biggest film of 2009. This will make over a billion. Bay doesn't give a fuck what any of you think and that is what you hate the most.
-
Sounds like TF2 is all for you then - loads of loud explosions and indistinct robots you couldn't possibly draw or paint when you leave the theater because the SFX are so fucking blurry there's no definable outline to any of the robots in the damn movie.
Wow. Pretty sad to feel old for actually wanting to SEE the robots properly. Or maybe I just appreciate actually getting to see the designs that some conceptual designer spent a year creating, rather than watching something that looks like a load of TF toys in a washing machine, as watched by a guy on a very fast funfair ride.
Slow it the fuck down so we can see what's going on!
And if you don't appreciate the greatness of a movie like SERENITY - a movie that felt more like the original STAR WARS movies than all three prequels put together and squared - then there is officially no hope for you, and you should definitely step away from the E numbers. -
"Off The Hook" and "Off The Chain" are still commonly used in Urban Slang. Some phrases just don't die contrary to what some "Cool" people may think. I laugh at magazines like Us Weekly or commentators at E! who proclaim some things to be Over or Played Out. Or even giving credit to Paris Hilton for coining "That's Hot" or "The OC" for coining "Chickenhead" meanwhile those phrases were used long before they used them.

Just like Bay to use the word; "Awesome" while promoting his films. XD

Hating Michael Bay IS a bandwagon thing, and the more shitty movies he makes, the more people are going to jump on that bandwagon. And ironic you should mention the "fanboys". Seeing as how you're a Michael Bay fanboy and all, that's kind of like the pot calling the kettle black isn't it? The first Transformers sucked in every single scene that didn't feature giant robots fighting, which was almost half of the movie. Any scenes involving the parents or sector 7 were especially horrible to watch, like, "eight year old on an ether binge" retarded and not at all well written by any standards of decent movie-making. And there is a reason so many people hate Bay's movies. It's because he seems to expect his audiences to be retarded and Michael Bay fanboys don't seem to disappoint. If this wasn't true, then he wouldn't have had a career past "Pearl Harbor", which should be a standardized test for the "no child left behind" program (For example: "Did you like Pearl Harbor? Yes? Here's your helmet"). It's that easy. You don't have to hate him personally or even hate all of his movies to agree that he has made, and continues to make stupid, shitty fucking movies with pretty special effects, not because he has to, but because he knows his fans are too dumb to know the difference. HE DOESN'T MAKE THE SPECIAL EFFECTS, HE JUST MAKES THE SHIT THEY'RE ENCASED IN. They even had it on South Park, so it must be true! (That's a joke) I mean, it's a movie about robots fighting, so i don't expect high-brow, but there are People who still have standards, i'm sorry you don't because i can honestly say when people like you set the bar so low, you make everything worse off for the rest of the fucking world. Enjoy mediocrity, i know i won't ruin it for you, but i sure as fuck don't have to, so i'll keep bitching until we get something better.
And just so you know, i sincerely hope that i'm completely, utterly, retardedly wrong and that Bay blows my fucking mind with this, because i WANT to see great movies with balls to the wall action, but not at the expense of my brain trying to claw through my eye-sockets to escape the kind of mindless bullshit that was fed to us in the first one in between short action set-pieces. But next time, before you decide to come here and defend the guy just decide on exactly who you're defending, Michael Bay, or his fx team, because they are not the same thing. -
Ha, I'm officially excited over this. I was a kid when the original cartoon ran on the TV. And that was only a half an hour ad to sell toys. This looks just like that and it looks freaking fun as hell.
I'm there. -

12,000 watts of the sound of explosions and twisted metal!!!!!
by posthumos1
The film company will be happy that they decided to release this one in IMAX on time. I watched the trailer during the Superbowl and it made me giddy. One of my favorite IMAX scenes in any of their movies was in Transformers when Blackout (the helicopter) stomped on the ground at the military base with that first EMP. I thought the subwoofers in IMAX were going to come through the screen. I LOVED the first one, sure it had some overly teenage melodrama parts in it, but who really cares, it more than made up for itself in the end. C'mon guys, really, they way some of you ninnys talk it's like Uwe Bolle directed Transformers. Puhhllleeeeeaaase. It rocked, and you know what? This will rock even more. AND it will get it's proper IMAX release date, unlike the first one which was late by two months. I AM SOOO EXCITED about it.
Don't misinterpret my excitement for the movie to be fanboying Michael Bay, it's definitely not, I hated Pearl Harbor. But he does bring in the cash because this is movie fact: PEOPLE WANT TO WATCH SHIT BLOW UP REAL GOOD! THEY WANT TO SEE CARNAGE AND TWISTED METAL. THEY WANT IT LOUD, LOUD, LOUD! THEIR BALLS SHOULD TREMBLE! THEIR EARS SHOULD BLEED!
Kevin Spacey meant it when he said it in Swimming with Sharks and he was right. Who didn't like Bad Boys, or even Armageddon, those movies had their definite faults, all actioners do. But they made bank because not only did people go see them, they went back once or even several times more. That's the ONLY way these movies open up and make 150+ million. Repeated viewings. It's why we get sequels. You holier than thou Anti-Michael Bays, Anti-Zach Snyders, and even Anti-Spielbergs/Lucas' all must be jackasses. Yup, I called you jackasses. You bitch about anything you can. You, in essence are every fucking thing that is WRONG with entertainment. Microanalyzing someone elses work and not producing anything but wasted fucking space on a film blog. Really, who the hell are you people. I have watched some of you guys give AICN about Kevin Smith and all of the aforementioned directors over the years and it never fails to make me laugh. To this point exactly NONE of you has made a movie. None of you appreciate the sacrifice that goes into film. Not that I am aware of anyway. I personally have worked on films, I am listed on IMDB. They were not successful, but they WERE work.
And, smatt584, Bay didn't WRITE the shit you are so fond of complaining about either. However, he did conceive the visual feel of the movie and directed the special effects teams he hired, and he approved of what went into and came out of the editing booth. I have to ask you smatt584 this one question: Have you ever in your life worked 18-20 hours a day for eight to nine months being responsible for a project that costs over $100,000,000.00 to complete? I didn't think so. -
You do know that a lot of directors alter scripts and dialogue as they shoot, right? And if what you say is supposed to make a point, then that point is that Bay just has shitty taste in scripts (or maybe just writers) and us too fucking stupid to improve them as he goes. And as for whether I've made a movie before, not only does they not disprove any of the things I've said, it is in no conceivable way related to anything in this talkback and the fact that you wrote that like it was your trump card rather than make any kind of logical argument against anything I've said just shows how fucking blindly clueless the average Michael Bay fanboy really is.
-
How sad is that for u fucking Michael Bay salad tossing fucktards?!! That's right! Those shitty robot effects in the first TRANSFORMERS could not even beat the super lame GOLDEN COMPASS at the academy. LOL!
-
Not a trump card at all. Just an opinion. Like an asshole. I have one just like everyone else. Here's what I think, if all you do is bitch about any of these fantasy/scifi directors and you hate their product SOOOO much that the best you can do is come on here and flame their work then you shouldn't Watch their new movies. If BAY is SOOOOOO FUCKING HORRIBLE, why the fuck do you care enough about his work to even have an opinion? To read a review of a movie and decide whether or not you'll wacht it is one thing. But to have decided that the totality of someone's career is utter pig shit then come in here to point out what you see to be the obvious is just fucking clown shoes. You are certainly entitled to your opinion, and I respect that, but your opinion, in my opinion it contrary to mine. And in MY OPINION, your post and several others, are from a JACKASS point of view that you will judge a whole film on a fucking teaser trailer. Just by jumping on a sad bandwagon of haters who don't like that someone REGULARLY gets greenlit for $100 million dollar projects and actually puts asses in the seats because he is in touch, obviously, with what his film demographic wants to see. AND...If shitty acting, flashy special effects, and melodrama are things that only retarded fanboys can appreciate then you obviously aren't a fan of Star Wars (even the first three), Star Trek (any of them), or any of the other classics. There is a trade off in this genre. There are only a hand full of scifi/fantasy movies out there that are both acutally well written and flawlessly directed. And you could probably nail, out of those down to either Ridley Scott, James Cameron, or Speilberg. But there are a VERY good amount of totally enjoyable films that sacrifice a bit of cheese for a good movie. See, no trump card, I just think your post sucks. :)
