RVR II

This one can't get released fast enough to be a target for riffing :o

Doctor Who?

Who knows maybe all the Humans will be killed in the first five minutes leaving 120 minutes of nothing but robots fighting.

You know what the first one should have been.

Or at least they can put all the humans in hard hats. Make it respect the actual source material.

I don't know. Then it would have been 90 minutes of blurry, hard to follow action. At least the human scenes didn't make anyone dizzy.

Doctor Who?

Yes but all the scenes with Humans made me feel ill.

No, it won't be the Fallen, or Unicron, or anything that might be too big or abstract for what Hollywood sees as the "Average American" viewer.

It'll be Megatron, with some gimmick. Just accept it.


alright, you get a shiny ha' penny

QuoteReports are circulating that Megatron will return for the upcoming Michael-Bay directed sequel to "Transformers," but what is interesting is who brings him back and the form that Megatron will take.

As was previously reported, the titular Fallen refers to one of the original thirteen Transformers created by Primus. In established Transformers lore, the Fallen betrayed the god-like Primus by allying himself with the planet-devouring Unicron. The Fallen was eventually trapped between dimensions.

According to CHUD, Megatron might be "brought back by the Autobots, who need him to conquer the new menace. But I've learned that this time he won't be that weird alien jet. This time he's a tank."



ladies and gentlemen............. you're gimmick

Ugh.  I'm out.

Junkyard

It looks like he's doing yoga.

I don't care what Megatron transforms into, anyway. There are just a few things that Bay can do to pass 2 into the realm of "not embarrassing to watch:"
1- More focus on robots interacting. Less on the humans. Just transfer some of those annoying human personalities onto giant robots, and you've already improved things.
2- No "comedy relief." Intigrate humor into the situation. DON'T JUST HAVE A BLACK PERSON SHRIEK FOR FIVE MINUTES AND CALL IT COMEDY.
3- Cool it with all the "effect." CGI and explosions are fine, but stop with the sunsets and shakeycam. You're characters are all grey, metallic, and made of lots of tiny pieces- it's already hard to keep track of.
4- Don't chicken out on things "people just won't buy." They bought the ticket, they'll obviously buy anything.
5- Subtlety.

Besides that, one other thing to note: Sam should be a little cooler in this film. Not because I want Shia to have a better part, but because assumably by the events of this film, he'll know alot about the war, the players involved, and what's at stake. Plus, by this point, he's already faced Megatron swinging a SUV sized mace at him, so he should be somewhat hardened. He needs to be cooler because it wouldn't make sense for him not to be.

If he has any two of these things in mind as he makes the film, I won't regret the ticket purchase.

.... I'm gonna lose 7 bucks. :'(

Doctor Who?

I'm waiting for this to come to netflix.

I don't see any chance of this movie not sucking.

Also am i the only one who thought the first movie was pretty racist?

Junkyard

All of Bay's films are racist, due in part to his aformentioned ideas about comedy, and partly because he always has to kill a black person, even if it's just a black robot who talks in ebonics.

Why do black actors appear in his movies,I mean they are either treated like complete stereotypes or they are killed.

I mean the cowardly black guy running from the cops?!

Why would you agree to play that?
