For TRANSFORMERS 2 - THE BEGINNING please let Paul Verhoeven direct. Thanks.

I have no interest in any of the characters "created" for this film. Even the robots are handled poorly. If you care about the characters then the journey is more enjoyable. If they are handled in a laughable fashion and conveyed as bottom of the barrel cliche ridden tools, then why would I care about what happens to them? I like a story. Apparently the general movie-goer just likes loud, obnoxious action and SFX. There is a happy medium that could be met. I might have even forgave the designs if the script/storyline/characters were kick ass. Just saying.

Anyone know for sure? Who cares. Tightness.

That is all.

I know many enjoy spectacle films - doesn't mean said films need to be moronic and insulting. If you had been part of the numerous, numerous previous TINO TBs then you would be privy to the myriad of story ideas and directions this flick could have traveled. No one wants (to my knowledge) a Cybertron only based film. I personally want a human element (see my previous posts) but, alas those involved with this debacle have handled that aspect poorly.

A very select few have "taken issue" with ILM's work. I agree with you. It's ridiculously good. I for one am impressed and cannot compare it to SM3 since I refuse to watch that trash (my opinion).

Superninja gave a brief history overview above of many of the problems this film had/has and the simple direction this film should have taken. To each his own and we shall have to agree to disagree. I'm not flaming you, provoking you or insulting you. You have your opinion, I have mine.

There have been many, many fine stories that the writers could have culled material from or just plan ripped off. They chose another path. I hope the film meets your expectations.

Matters not, but I am still going to talk about it. Relaying the same bullshit time and time again. It just a film and I don't see the point of campaigning against it now since the film is in the proverbial can. The time to campaign against it has come and gone.

I simply won't see this. That's enough of a statement for me. The lack of my potential one ticket sale and subsequent possible dvd purchase(s) will not matter to them. I am one person and more people are "for" this film than "against" it. They (Paramount et. al.) don't care and they never did to begin with. Not flaming you. Just stating my opinion.

Additionally, I ask why one chooses to accept mediocrity and drop one's expectations so low that anything will suffice/entertain? At least we're seeing the Transformers on the big screen finally? Really? Those type of arguements are as silly as the "flames" arguements. My immediate response is that you lack scope/vision and/or the capacity to see potentiality in a project/IP. But it's all opinion and preference which these boards allow the sharing of. I won't see the film and you don't have to read my posts.

I was being childish posting links to counter you "these characters don't exist" bit. It served no point and I was just being petty. Friendly ribbing? Alas, I came across as arrogant and self-righteous I guess. I failed there and I meant no offense.

I am one of those suckers that read the script so that is where my judgement of this project stems from (along with following this project since it's inception and the way the filmmakers are acting). I feel strongly that the script is NOT comprehensive and barely works on the most basic levels. A summer blockbuster does not need to be stupid (for lack of a better word). Evidently I am being unrealistic and overly critical/cynical to some. It's 2007 and I expect more out of filmmakers. Additionally, as I stated before, Bay is the least/last of my problems. But he sure is relevant to the end result.

I actually appreciate the fact that you replied without lobbing ignorant insults and vulgarity. Good talking with you. I'll look out for you opinion after the filck hits the screens. Be well.
