boyst Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Coming 7/1/11 http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2861996057/ I am hoping it is better then 2 and hopefully better than 1. The sequel had it's moments and the first was marginally better, here's hoping the third is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadCap Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Ok, I realize we are speaking of a movie about huge, transforming robots from space, but something I find confusing about that trailer: They're on the moon, it's 1969. Armstrong says, "we're definitely not alone". Didn't they build the Hoover Dam around Megatron in the 1930's? Didn't they already know about the transformers then, or did NASA and the other government agency not know about the NB1 project? Ah, I liked it anyway...

Bay will distract you from those thoughts with a ton of explosions and crappy jokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Wow! A sequel to a sequel of a movie based on a cartoon that was based on a line of toys! AND directed by Michael Bay! Garbage in, garbage out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadCap Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Don't worry. Bay will distract you from those thoughts with a ton of explosions and crappy jokes. Ha! Forgot to add that he actually made it through an entire three minute trailer with not one explosion or spinning camera... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meazza Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Ha! Forgot to add that he actually made it through an entire three minute trailer with not one explosion or spinning camera... Michael Bay directed Aquaman II and it apparently sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The zoom in on the eye seems like a variation of the spinning camera. I'm sure he's got a million more variations up his sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) Wow! A sequel to a sequel of a movie based on a cartoon that was based on a line of toys! AND directed by Michael Bay! Garbage in, garbage out. Agree on Michael Bay. As a big Transformers fan, I went into the series with an open mind, even though Bay did'nt exactly inspire confidence. The first film was pretty good, and the second was awful. They both have fantastic special effects, but there are a bunch of characters that make me want to . As a fan I want a Transformers movie that gives us more robots and less humans. Of course I will be foolish enough to see this third film, I guess I'm a sucker for punishment. After all I'm a Bills fan too. I do know there is hope. As we all know everything in Hollywood gets re-made. So in about 20-30 years, someone who actually cares about Transformers, and does'nt think the fans are idiotic enough to find Spike's mother to be a funny character, will eventually take over and remake the Transformers series and give it the respect it deserves. Christopher Nolan has done this with the Batman franchise, and J.J. Abrams is doing it so far with the Star Trek franchise. As for the "Garbage in, garbage out." comment you made. You can say that about Michael Bay, but c'mon you can't say that about Transformers. Especially when you get stuff like this.....

Mark Vader Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 What's with the cheesy background music? It was the 80's. At least this movie has a song in the background. Unlike today when songs are only played in the end credits, and yet they still get nominated and win Oscars. Also, don't refer to Stan Bush as cheesy.

It is superfluous and distracting. Not to mention uber cheesy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Also, don't refer to Stan Bush as cheesy. Just for the hell of it I Googled "Sam Bush cheesy" (without the quotes). It looks like "cheesy" is a very popular way to describe Sam and/or his music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is superfluous and distracting. Not to mention uber cheesy. Say and feel what you will. However, I can guarantee you that if you were to play this song to anyone, they would know what the song's name is, what movie it is from, and which scene it takes place.
