Man, this announcement makes me so angry, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna not go see the film! I'm gonna pointedly not go see the film over and over again! The same way I didn't go to see the first two films! Suck on that Michael fucking Bay!

You know what would be a good idea, though? Start the film by blowing up the earth and killing every single human. Not even Michael Bay could fuck up the film as badly as he did the first two when he only has the mother-fucking Transformers! left to work with.

...OH GOD YES!

I don't care what anyone says, I love Michael Bay and I loved the Transformers movies.

They reached right into my head and poked that happy spot.
High-five, my brother!

Revenge of The Fallen is easily the most fun movie I've ever seen, positively epic, and this one will be mind-blowing.
You've only ever seen one movie in your life, haven't you?

Seriously, only someone with a RIDICULOUSLY small pool of reference could POSSIBLY describe Transformers 2 as "the most fun movie I've ever seen". Because, irrespective of its own quality (which is appalling) there are SO MANY MORE fun movies out there.

I hope that this is going to follow the Ocean's Factor: Where the movie titles ending in prime numbers are good. Except Transformers 1, of course, because 1 isn't prime.

I'll give the guy a chance. I enjoyed the original. I didn't see the second, which is probably for the best. I really wouldn't mind a third.

Woo, another 3 hours of nothing but horrid jokes and special effects. Can't wait to hear about the protagonists family again which has really nothing to do with the Transformers at all.

Why? No one liked the second one. Of course, it's probably my fault for going to see it and giving him money...

No one wants think movie. I'm not going to boycott it, I'm just not going to go see it.

Has he not heard what we, his primary target audience, think of these movies?
And I'm really tired of hearing people who think Megan Fox is some kind of goddess; she's not that hot!

On a side note, that clip in the article is awesome.
Judging by the $200 million dollars the second film made in its first week, just in America, i'd say he's got his target audience pretty much nailed.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with everyone? How can you not enjoy these movies? Sure thelpots a bit crap, and the acting isn't great, but the CGI is amazing and they're bloody good fun. What more do you want from a summer blockbuster?

Oh well. The second one dissapointed me. I really only liked the fighting in the whole thing. I found to to be too vulgar and I would never take kids to go see it.
THe first one was a little more family oriented, but the second... not so much.

We'll see how the 3rd one goes.

How long will activision beat call of duty to within an inch of it's life?

That's the situation my minds considering bay will milk transformers till it begs for mercy then carry on milking it.

Boy we're awfully critical for a bunch of people who've never made movies in our lives.
Utterly fallacious. Do you seriously believe every game critic has made their own multi-million selling video games? What's that, you don't? And yet you still accept that they can critique games?

Interesting! Why, one might draw the conclusion that you don't need to do something to be able to critique it.

Crazy.

I can't even think of ANY movie franchise with a high level of success once they reach the 3rd flick
Lord of the Rings? Star Wars?

I'm not sure how to feel about this.

But since Micheal Bay is directing I'm going to expect a lot of... BAYSPLOSIONS!
MI-BA-BLA-BA-SPLOSIONS

I like explosions, and I like Transformers, so I'll likely like the movie. Don't kill me.
Oh snap, here's a better one for ya, it includes scenes from Transformers:
Ha, that one was great. Baysplosions rule!

Ok, let me rephrase that. We're awfully critical for a bunch of fanboys/girls who are too busy lavishing the franchise in tongue baths, as Yahtzee put it, to actually appreciate what it takes to make a movie and the incredible pressure involved in adapting a franchise to a different medium and apesing the ungrateful fans who are never happy no matter what you do and will make you VERY much aware of it by slamming all your hard work into the ground without mercy.

As someone who saw the bare minimum of Transformers as a wee child, I have little interest in "tongueing" the franchise. The most prominent memory of it is a little Optimus Prime toy that my friend brought into primary school during my first year there.

As such, I have no interest in preserving any memories of my precious Transformers years. I can still however say this:

Past performance is always an indicator of future results.

Transformers 1 was okay. Transformers 2 was worse.

Eh, I was okay with both movies and never found Transformers to be that profound in the first place. I also had the magical visual acuity to tell robots apart in the fight scenes.

However, that OP video was pure lulz.

Well you're entitled to your opinion of course. Besides I'm mostly talking to those who're bawling about their precious childhood memories and how the franchise is ruined and what not.
