luke-o 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2007 Exactly my point. It wasn't that bad. I wasn't, like, furious I watched it. but with those two leads, and Michael Clarke Duncan, and the premise, That's the most awesome first third of a movie, and averything else. Jus, ... well... Shit. I mean has ther ever been a GOOD Michael Bay movie? Look at Con Air. Honestly the best cast I've ever seen.Seriously look at that cast. And... Just pure, unadlturaterd shit. Oh come on, Con Air is fucking all kinds of brilliance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luke-o 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2007 Double post. Sorry. The opening song of The Transformers Movie was always my favorite version of the theme song. I hope they re-use it in the new movie. You're lucky you got that intro, on the English cut that i have (on video and DVD) doesn't have a credits sequence, it shows the Transformers Movie logo with Lion over the top, to be faded down and have like Star Wars sliding style writing telling us the story of where we are. It starts something like, "it is the year 2005, the tretorus decepticons have retaken the the autobots home planet of cybertron" blah blah blah. Seriously, when i got Transformers: Reconstructed on DVD, i was so happy to the get the American opening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banter 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2007 There is a new trailer out which features Optimus Prime speaking...with moving lips. I really don't mind the lips, but I seem to be in the minority. Here is a link: Click here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2007 I don't mind the lips for Optimus...mainly because in the original series, when Optimus was Orion Pax, he had lips. Who's to say he didn't have lips under his mouth-plate the whole time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luke-o 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2007 It's not the lips i dont like (although im not a fan of them), it's the voice. Actually, i didnt like any of it. Apart from that end bit where Megatrons throws his face right up into that guy, that was pretty cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2007 It has an ID-4 vibe to it, but at least we know ahead of time that the robots and transformations look fucking sick, while with ID-4 the alien beings finally being seen on screen was quite the dissapointment.

Downhome 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2007 Check out this short Yahoo interview with Michael Bay. He comes across as such an ass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WukenBloodstar 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 ..What the fuck were you expecting him to come across like? Not to defend him, but a good portion of the TF fanbase was doing nothing but bitching over every tiny little detail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Downhome 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 Ummm, as an ass. He's seems to always come across as a big ass every time I see the guy, but that's nothing new. Anyway, the new Transformers theme is online now: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/32910 And as much as I hate Michael Bay, I find this amusing: http://www.michaelbay.com/shirts/tfshirts.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, too bad they got somebody else to voice Ironhide because I wanted to see Peter Cullen talking to himself. I think out of the whole bunch, Optimus Prime and Jazz are the most faithful. although I do like the new Ironhide because I thought his original design was a piece of shit.

Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2007 the problem with those character designs is recognition. Optimus is easy to figure out. Bumblebee is the yellow guy. Megatron will be the primary Decepticon focus so we can figure that out. The others...who's who? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
starvenger 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2007 The opening song of The Transformers Movie was always my favorite version of the theme song. I hope they re-use it in the new movie. But what about The Touch? With the Cybertronians, I'd prefer if they went more with an Alternator style, and maybe with a bit more colour, but yeah, at least Optimus looks Optimus-like. And, well, it's better than the Optimus Prime Megazord from a couple of years back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
