BAYHEM!!! by Romoehlio	Jun 15th, 2007 04:09:27 AM
thats what i`m talking about...
trailer is AWESOME by x-oManowar	Jun 15th, 2007 04:10:36 AM
okay I am officially excited now! I can't believe i just said that about a michael bay move that doesn't end in 'rock'...also sorry to spam but new Valiant Comics are better than posting first.
PLEASE BE GOOD! by Mr Gorilla	Jun 15th, 2007 04:12:37 AM
Michael Bay's action scenes really do knock your cocks off. (Although I wish he could get into the dying art of the Quiet Action Scene - i.e. the first T Rex attack in Jurassic, or Cruise upside down in Mission: Impossible. Not every action scene has to have that loud fucking music.) If Bay manages to play the story right, it could be so good. And no trailer can give us an idea about THAT.
first, whoops by jonparrdotcom	Jun 15th, 2007 04:16:17 AM
First post ever, (thoght i might be able to come first) but c'mon we all got to see this. Its not exactly the transformers we grew up with but damn they are being respectful to the essence. Beggers can't be choosers, as long as they are respectful I'm on board.
WOW by Leafy McPlantsalot	Jun 15th, 2007 04:16:38 AM
Did not think this would be good. My thoughts have changed.

I guess if you want to see giant Robot mayhem then this might just do the trick!
well I noticed the website is "find the cube" backwards by BadMrWonka	Jun 15th, 2007 04:41:59 AM

well, I've noticed that this sucker is taking by moondoggy2u	Jun 15th, 2007 04:44:52 AM
a lot longer than 5 minutes to load. Geeze, you'd think Mori would do a mirror or something, you know?
looks like the link is a dead link Mori by moondoggy2u	Jun 15th, 2007 04:45:47 AM

I was able to get it before it died. Not really a trailer, it's just an HD version of this TV Spot on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =DcmywtsnxJI

Wheres the glorious QuickTime? /mourn. But great trailer.
THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO KICK ASS by supercowbell 4 cant stop the cowbell	Jun 15th, 2007 04:59:21 AM
and possibly take names
Geeze--how many stereotypes can you pack in a trailer? by moondoggy2u	Jun 15th, 2007 05:02:25 AM
Other than trying to reach every demographic imaginable, (suburban white trash--check, mouthy black people--check, Patriotic soldier/yellow ribon types--check, oh, and some transformers) in less than 30 seconds. Color me impressed!
But ya gotta admit by moondoggy2u	Jun 15th, 2007 05:03:09 AM
Those transformers do look nice, don't they?
I remember when The Rock was the shit... by film_fanatic_in_the_original_bla ck_and_white	Jun 15th, 2007 05:03:11 AM

Loading by Nozoli Apples	Jun 15th, 2007 05:12:01 AM
I got it to load once after like 10 minutes and then it started when I was on another page and I couldn't rewind it. I'm trying to load it again but no luck, we definitely need a better link.
Ooooh Megan-tron by theyreflockingthisway	Jun 15th, 2007 05:12:19 AM
She's one damn fine looking actress - looking forward to see if she can act well too. Oh and also seeing the giant fucking robots too.
Not just 1, but 2 black cliche "one-liners" characters! by SantiagoAtez	Jun 15th, 2007 05:12:21 AM
So...it's like 2 action movies rolled into 1, no? Thanks Michael Stereotypin Bay! "That not friendly, that alien!" SNAP! "The killer robots are really distracting!" WOW! Why aren't my black friends as cool as these comic-relief cliches?!?! My friends are like......real people. [crying] And that's not what Michael Bay teaches me! ARGH!!! Hollywood confuses me!

If you go over to the POSTER post. Click on that website. There you will find some feeds. Once you find the feeds. You will find this trailer under the second SECTOR SEVEN MUST BE STOPPED. Barton Fink must be stopped. Good to know. Nevertheles, do it that way, and it will load.
"These robots are really distracting..." by moondoggy2u	Jun 15th, 2007 05:48:27 AM
Guess thats one trailer Anderson won't rape any women, huh?

I guess thats one trailer where Anderson won't rape any women, huh? There--much better.

Hehehehehe... I love being right! by Womb2dooM	Jun 15th, 2007 06:07:50 AM
As I've saying for the past three days - MICHAEL BAY BLOWS THE LID OFF THIS SUCKER LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!!! Technically I haven't been proved entirely right but I'm bloody tired and I can't wait for more reviews to come in to ACTUALLY prove me right so I'll take this small victory and my leave...

excellent point supercowbell by just pillow talk	Jun 15th, 2007 07:11:08 AM
There's always a cringe inducing "laugh" thrown in, just remind you that you are not getting a top notch action movie yet again. I'm looking at you DH4...PG-fucking-13.

I'm sorry, but with all due respect to Memflix he knew what he was doing was wrong, he'd signed a contract NOT to do it, but he went ahead and did it anyway. The studio were perfectly within their rights to ask for his removal. You can hate for me it, but you know I'm right.

i just think episode 1 dragged, but that obi and qui gon vs darth maul was great. and darth maul was such a cool villian to bad he got cocky and obi sliced his ass up lol. lucas mustve had crack and coffee everyday for breakfast becasue episode II had tons of action it just had some corny lovey dovey dialouge and a wooden performance for hayden. but i do love the scenes when he goes looking for his mother, kills the tuskens, then admits it to padme.

Megatron looks absolutely badass, even in that quick shot. All the haters will need an XL Big Gulp to get that nice helping of crow down their craw.
supercowbell by just pillow talk	Jun 15th, 2007 09:02:54 AM
The tusken decapitating admitting scene to padme was bad. He came across as a spoiled brat, not the menace known as Vader to be. And Padme was too quick to 'forgive' him too. I did enjoy the Fett/Kenobi fight, and of course the end fight. But it was the worst of the prequels I think. Yack is right, remove Jar Jar and maybe tweak a couple things here and there, and episode 1 would have been much better.
Of course he will return by seagrass	Jun 15th, 2007 09:11:09 AM
It's Transformers! Hopefully, the sequel will give us a plot involving Shockwave and Soundwave...perhaps they are able to resurrect him, but as a result he ends up getting permanently stuck in an earthly form, which causes him to hate the fleshlings even more.
By the way by seagrass	Jun 15th, 2007 09:16:33 AM
I was rewatching season 1 of TF: G1 yesterday...I gotta say, the old designs were cool for kids, but way too simple for the big screen and an adult audience...or for today's kids, who seem to think they are adults.
Why would you zip an already compressed qt file? by Flim_	Jun 15th, 2007 09:20:29 AM
Probably because it's a fake.

The fake trailer that several people above have watched. Someone must have hacked Mori's computer and make a fake post; those fucking studio plants. Jesus, I've downloaded loads of QT movies that have been zipped.
You caught me Flim!!!! by ShesPrettierThenMe	Jun 15th, 2007 09:31:55 AM
I have an undying hatred for all things Transformers so I thought I would try and trick you into downloading a program that turns your compueter into a GoBot!!! Seriously though I work in commercial printing and graphics and I am used to zipping everything. No skin off my back. You can try and "save as" 15 times(which I did and finally got to work) or you can watch that great Youtube quality version.

Are you fucking kidding me? No matter... I'm SO FREAKNIG EXCITED for this film!
Favorite part os Episode 3 by BRUTICUS	Jun 15th, 2007 10:12:50 AM
was when the emperor was pretending to be in pain and pretending that Mace Windu was killing him, in order to gain sympathy from Anakin and thus have Anakin kill Windu. I loved how the emperor was just whining like no tomorrow and hell he kinda looked like Ozzy osborne! How awesome is that! Second favorite part: "I do it because I love you, No, its because I love you!"
noone will feel silly, weve all said it will be a good by BRUTICUS	Jun 15th, 2007 10:14:47 AM
we all thought it would. but it should have been more faithful to the original. just cause it becomes a sellout blockbuster doesn't change that there were unnecessary changes that have pissed a lot of people off.

unnecessary changes? by skynetbauxi	Jun 15th, 2007 10:34:56 AM
I tend to believe that creative geniuses (and you don't become a Michael Bay without being a creative genius) do think long and hard about how to best transfer their source material to the screen. and I REALLY don't think they make any unnecessary changes. I'm SURE they have their reasons. like Peter Jackson had his reasons (and VERY GOOD reasons, as you'll understand if you watch all the extras on the extended DVDs). what many people don't seem to get is, a great story doesn't automatically work completely unaltered in a different medium than the one it was originally presented in. sure, you could probably "transform" a book or tv show word-by-word into a movie, and a lot of fans of the source material might even like the result... but in the end, a filmmaker wants to make a GOOD MOVIE, and a good movie usually doesn't mean a word-by-word transfer of the source material to the big screen.

EPISODE I by Stereotypical Evil Archer	Jun 15th, 2007 11:28:41 AM
I have edited EPISODE I into something much better, I took out 27 minutes and it just flows; sort of amazing really, like the movie was constructed to work without all the annoying stuff. I just wish I was computer savvy enough to know how to edit it in FULL LUCAS APPROVED GLORIOUS DOUBLE LAYER DVD 480i.
I still am not convinced... by Freefinger	Jun 15th, 2007 11:29:23 AM

EPISODE II by Stereotypical Evil Archer	Jun 15th, 2007 11:30:28 AM
I tried editing this mess once, it still didn't work. I think I was too generous and should have cut out a lot more. Maybe I'll try to do that someday...
EPISODE III by Stereotypical Evil Archer	Jun 15th, 2007 11:33:14 AM
Fairly good movie. If I ever try an edit, I'll have to edit out some good stuff, but then again, if it makes the movie a better movie...Does anyone know how to rip a DVD and Edit it at FULL QUALITY?

I'm excited to see this, love the stuff I've seen so far, getting used to the changes and all that. But friggin-a I do get irritated by that big "MICHAEL BAY" over the title screen. like the property itself could NEVER sell this movie. Oh no... it's from the director of Pearl Harbor and that movie nobody saw last year. THAT'S what will get the butts in the seats. Speilberg has that gravitas, not you Bay.

We also know you don't like Michael Bay, you didn't like Pearl Harbor, hated The Rock...whatever. Now, can we please talk about the preview.....which ROCKED!!!!

megatron isn't really in the movie until the end. in the preview comics, he arrived on earth 100 years ago and went into stasis. he's where we get a lot of our advanced tech from.

however, at least they wouldn't be besmirching the name of robots I care for. I fail to see what you people are so excited about. All I see is Tyrese and Anthony Anderson (oh noes! "urban" audiences won't respond if there aren't beloved black character actors far.as.the.eye.can.see) mugging. I'm a sic Omar & Brother Mouzone on the next "relax, blowing shit up is cool, robots is cool" apologist. You're all going to feel pretty stupid when you come back from the theaters thinking about how empty the experience was. And rue you will if you're at this site because you care about films as more than action-figure adjuncts, which is regrettably less and less the case.

This movie will still be terrible by CaptainGilgore	Jun 15th, 2007 01:28:30 PM
Here's the thing about Lucas. He just wanted to give the audience what they wanted (aka, lightsaber duel in part 1, pod race in 1, yoda fighting in 2, obi-wan fighting anakin in 3) but was too lazy to do the rest of the work (actually create a story behind it). The funny thing is, those parts I listed - the whole reason he made the films, HE DIDN'T EVEN WRITE THOSE PARTS OUT! He just wrote fight scene here and the two fight here and the pod race and then let his technical people figure it out. That means he not only didn't put any time into the story, he didn't put any time into the action scenes. What the fuck did George Lucas actually do??? ------ As for this movie, we can learn a little bit from Episode 1, which I think had one of the best trailers ever in the history of the world. Unfortunately I learned a lesson with that trailer that forever changed the way I anticipate movies. Trailers are NOT MADE BY THE DIRECTOR. They are made by someone else way more talented who knows how to create a story in 2 minutes (or one, or 30 seconds). It has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on if the movie is going to be good AT ALL. Cause you're not seeing that long stupid scene where Shia LaBeoufowitz talks to his girlfriend about his dream to be a racer. Or that ridiculous exposition scene where they actually try and explain why aliens have decided to take the form of cars. Go watch The Island and Pearl Harbor back to back and tell me that Bay has any ability whatsoever to create a story. (and don't bring up The Rock either. That was back when people still told him what to do)

Now THAT'S how it's done! Get me a ticket NOW! by Big Dumb Ape	Jun 15th, 2007 02:48:52 PM
It's only a commercial, which I've been trying to stay away from to not ruin too much of the movie for me, but it was kick ass all the same. This may not be the cartoon EXACTLY...this may not be the toys realized onscreen EXACTLY...but frankly I don't care. I'm old enough to remember the Transformers show/toys, but I have to say I also expected Hollywood to change and tweak things for a live action movie. And the whole "flames on Optimus" just seems silly at this point and really way too bottom of the barrel fanboy-ish in terms of whining. Bottom line: this looks bad ass and really looks like the first "geek" film this summer to actually come through delivering the goods. Plus I just think the combo of Bay AND Spielberg will be the right chemistry to juice both of them into creating a real uber geek experience.

I'll happily admit it. I have no emotional investment in this film whatsoever, but then again, I haven't been on here making blatantly ridiculous claims about how important and 'high art' the original TF was. Neither have I tried to judge the film on trailers and rumour alone without actually seeing it. I am expecting nothing more than a big summer spectacle, and am looking forward to watching it. If it turns out to be shit, my life will be far from over, and I'll have no problems admitting it if I think it's crap.

thats not the case at all. I hope the movie does well, I KNOW IT WILL DO WELL. AND score the years most amount of MONEY. But I know just from the designs that they never really got Transformers...Bay even admits he wasn't a fan when he came on to this film so its not hard to believe. Knowing Bay do you really think he understands sci-fi / fantasy as a genre? What it takes to breathe life into creatures? To me it's obvious by looking at the faces of the characters that he does not understand. Hes just a 40 something action film director, he doesn't get this shit. Hes just doing it cause Speilberg bitch slapped him and told him so.
Does anyone truly believe that this will fail by HeWhoCannotBeNamed	Jun 15th, 2007 03:39:01 PM
at the box office? Regardless of your stance, I cannot fathom this film failing. It's new in the since that it has giant robots i.e. something not seen to this degree on the big screen. The ads do their job well. Word of mouth doesn't really hurt SFX Spectacle films, does it? I don't pay attention to the financials of films, I just see what appeals to me, but I think this movie is going to be very profitable. I wouldn't be surprised if parts 2 & 3 got greenlit after opening weekend. I'm sure the target audience are bugging the shit out of their parents to take them to it. Perhaps I am naive.

BRUTICUS by Mr. Nice Gaius	Jun 15th, 2007 04:09:17 PM
That depends on the source material you are referring to. The intent of this movie was to have it BASED mostly on G1. Yet, as some people seem to forget, G1 is not the only incarnation of Transformers and it's not the only incarnation that has fans. While G1 remains the most iconic (because of the age group of its initial fanbase), the producers of this movie chose to incorporate references from all the other versions, too. And according to Bay, after Spielberg convinced him to direct (and make no mistake - Spielberg WANTED Bay on this project), he immediately went to "Transformers School" with execs from Hasbro. The first thing they all appeared to want and agree upon was to start the franchise over fresh. That included the designs. Now, whether these designs "suck" is a matter of personal opinion and nothing more. But I think one would have to be in total denial if they can't bring themselves to admit that these designs are phenomenal in complexity and execution. The bottom line is they shot for more with these designs = more realism and more flexibility.
regularfacetoht by Mr. Nice Gaius	Jun 15th, 2007 04:39:04 PM
We all know Murphy is also an idiot. But read his own quotes again. If you say you are largely basing it on G1, of course you're going to say: "Using the characters, using the mythology we all know and love". "The Decepticons and the Autobots are characters. They are discernable individual things." - That statement is an incredible example of the "Art of Bullshitting". Pointing towards the big statue of Optimus and saying that its your inspiration for what they want in the movie is a given. There are many different incarnations of Prime (some with lips!!!). But the one they wanted to pay homage to was G1. Duh. As much as I dislike DM, I have to say that nowhere in your list of quotes/evidence does he say that they promised or guaranteed a complete duplication of the G1 look and mythos.

And I also don't think Bumbleebee would purposefully cause a bunch of property destruction to make sure Shia chose him. Not that something like that would have occurred to the writers. Also, dissing the Bug next to it pisses me off.

michael bay's track record by mrdinky	Jun 16th, 2007 01:18:02 AM
BAD BOYS was great fun and had nothing whatever to do with michael bay. it was a buddy comedy. hell, brett frackin' ratner can do a buddy comedy. THE ROCK was completely blown out of proportion and unreal (typical of bruckheimer and bay), but in comparison with his later "films," well composed and not completely stupifying. ARMAGEDDON was atrocious. I'm not sure it's bay's fault that the script is more shallow than my niece's inflatable pool, but the impossibly poor editing (i.e., putting together scenes that supposedly tell a story) is something a director should be held accountable for. the less said about PEARL HARBOR, the better. but I do love that kate beckinsale. BAD BOYS 2 was BAD BOYS bigger, louder, and uncut...and also less funny and more tired. THE ISLAND was michael freakin' bay's best movie by a long shot. He's still an incredibly overblown action director, but you can at least see him struggling with the possibility of a script with substance. it's a stock theme for sci-fi, but it's good to see him out from under the wing of herr bruckheimer. which brings us to TRANSFORMERS. I loved Transformers. But get real. a movie based on a tv & comics series designed to sell toys and directed by michael bay? get real. you might as well ask paul anderson to direct HALO. or give uwe boll...anything. there's no chance of getting a complete movie here. no chance. so of course people are focusing on the big bot battles. it's GOT to be better than those stv MECHWARRIOR knockoffs from the L80s and 90s.

transformers scanned earth by huggerorange	Jun 16th, 2007 10:57:28 AM
transformers scanned earth vehicles. I d say thats enough reason for bumblebee to have a real engine- If you notice-. When meagan opens the hood, (BB in his old camaro version),his engine is high tech compared to what a car like that would normally have. So its not totally just a regular old camaro. Another thing is when she says nice headers,"youve got a high rise double pump carburetor pretty impressive"...the engine clearly doesnt have a carburetor...its fuel injected,you cant have a carb and fuel injection-its one or the other. Even if what you see in that scene is not a functional engine its what the design team or whomever made it to resemble. So meagans dialogue, on top of it being badly played is totally B.S...- the only thing she got right was the headers. When shes shaking the distributor cause she says "it may be loose", the distributor cap is at the back of the engine on this car..shed have to crawl inside the car to even touch it from where shes standing. It looks like shes shaking the radiator cap instead-lol. Not only does meagan fox not know shit about cars, her character in the the movie doesnt know shit either. Meagans still hot though, who cares. In trying to defend bumble bees design and correct superninja, Ive made more points to hate the movies dialogue and make me cringe.
