I don't get why people think action movies are dumb, sure if you base it on the story they're dumb but come on, you think their intention was a good story? Sometimes sure like Die Hard, but then you look at the Expendables...Story was not that movies focus.
Excuse me? I have seen both Transformers films thus far and have yet to see a robot.GrimTuesday said:
I can't wait to not see anything happening due to swirling shards of metal and camera work done by cold turkey heroin users.
What is with the obnoxious sound in that trailer? I think some sound director heard Inception's horns and figured that was the next big thing, repeating loud noises.
Also, fuck Shia LaBeouf. Talentless mug.
I'm a little disturbed that some people are actually even defending this franchise.
Here's the thing: I love bad movies, I have a whole shit-ton of B movies in my collection, most of them being ultra low-budget schlock that are great for laughs.
Michael Bay on the other hand, uses quarter of a million dollars and puts out movies that, in comparison to those same low budget schlock movies, have less coherency, less likable characters, and less charm.
As for those who tell me "what are you expecting? it's just a popcorn movie/over the top action movie." I expect at it to have least a coherent plot, some form of consistency, and a noticable lack of groan-worthy juvenile humor being shoved down my throat. These are elements that most other popcorn/action movies can handle, yet the Transformers series has not managed to grasp these int he slightest. Just because it's a popcorn movie doesn't mean it has an excuse to be crappy.

Are the twins in it? -_-; Are Skid and Mudflap in it? If they are, I won't see the movie on principle, even if that scene with Optimus mowing through an army of Decepticons does actually look FREAKING AWESOME.
Really, I actually really enjoyed the first movie. The second one... Eh, it was disappointing outside of a few scenes (I don't care what people say, the fight preceeding Optimus' death scene was actually five kinds of cool) but ultimately a letdown.
But... If this focuses on the Robots instead of the people... Maybe. I definately won't see it on opening day though. I'll wait for general synopsies to come in first.
