Transformers 2: Cool New Images & A Dumb Rumor

i loved that movie and magatron is awesome

I will end up reading it for entertainment purposes but I still have high hopes for this even if I'm the only one. Hopefully my dreams won't be shattered but I have a feeling they might because usually your sources are pretty reliable. I guess all I can do now is wait...

@Fenix

You are under NO obligation to read my review. Call me biased if you like, but I judge films on their own merits. Somewhere around here I posted a comment from another well-known online movie reviewer who gave the first one 7.5/10 and thought that this one was pretty awful.

Vic

Oh great, I hope Vic doesn't review this with his obvious biased view on the subject. I really don't hope it's as bad as you anticipate.

This movie looks sweet, I believe the relationship in the first one was a little shallow due to the fact that the movie is about giant robots and the fact that Megan Fox, while extremely attractive, is a pretty weak (not horrible) actress. Hopefully she will have learned and matured and bring more life to her character in this one. The fight between starscream and megatron promises to be epic Michael Bay quality!

Skids and Mudflap look like robotic Picasso mutations.

Did anyone else notice that in the first picture w/ the twins, the one on the left has a feakin gold tooth.....like some wannabe rapper.

Michael Bay is a good director but he is by far the best...there are so many other people that coudl do this movie and he knows it which is why he WILL def do the next one WHEN the studio wanst him to.
Personally, I liked Transformers but it was not THAT good. Its a kids movie when you boil down to the point and it offers lots of great action sequences, an overload of cool cgi, a drop dead gorgeous woman, and a fast paced storytelling which is evevrything you really could want from a blockbuster I do agree. But when break teh movie down as a whole and look at all teh essential components of what go into a movie it really is lacking and I think taht is a result of Michael Bay. Look at his previous movies like the Rock, Pearl Harbor, or Armagedeon...ALL movies that move way too fast and do not develop chracter chemistry.
The main thing that I dont buy is Lebeouf and Fox's onscreen chemistry...they really didnt do it for me and tahts because instead developing some substance to tehir relationship Bay decided to blow some stuff up with gigantic robots...
I can name a handful of directors taht could do a better job....
Like I said Transformers was GOOD not GREAT...and I know Bay will come back for a third but if he doesnt and tehy get their hands on a better director (Abrams, Raimi to name a few) I think that we will have a GREAT 3rd movie

Joshi,

Is it true that the twins come off as racist?

How many of you are tired of seeing remakes and sequels? Where is the originality? A couple of movie theatre employees made a parody music video about their disgust for remakes called "The Real Psycho Transformer" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F68U0v1UNCc

“TRANSFORMERS is a disaster. A tedious, grueling disaster.”
who would of guessed


Awwww ......That's a shame.

lmao

John Campea made a post on his site saying that the twins are the new "Jar Jar"....which is worse b/c now we got two times that.

Oh, I thought the title said Some Cool Images and Dumb Humor, at which point I said DUH! :-D

I've been reading some reviews as well and they are not good. Of course, it will still make a ton of money; may even be the biggest money-maker this year.

Guys,

Some of you probably won't believe me because you'll see I'm biased against Transformers, but I am NOT hearing good things about the movie from the premiere last night in LA.

Here's what someone said who gave the first one 7.5/10 and LIKED the humor in it:

"TRANSFORMERS is a disaster. A tedious, grueling disaster."

Just FYI.

Vic

Yeah, I got excited by a Bayless Transformers third movie, but maybe not then. Although, as Ken says, I doubt they'd go out and hire a top director.

the rumor has already been shot down by Bay himself on his website. he said he just needs a break from it.

arrgh wrong thread .
apologies.

Ken J,
Airwolf was a pretty good show.
It starred Jan Michael Vincent and Ernest Borgnine.
I have been waiting for hollywood to announce the remake.

Yeah, I wondered why everybody jumped on this too.
I am actually looking forward to Bays smaller film.
Its not like he doesnt have time to take a break.
Good Article Rob.
Nice pics too.

At this point I'd rather risk getting a worse director than more Michael Bay crap.

@Xigbar, unless the person replacing him ended up being worse, lol. Michael Bay isn't the best character director, but he's halfway decent at action stuff. Some directors can't do either...

Ugh. Mudflap and Skids are so damned ugly.
And hearing Michael Bay was going to quit Transformers really made my day....

Them fighting will probably do more to help the autobot's cause than anything else, lol. Probably shouldn't have revealed that, could have been a cool plot twist.

I'm pumped

YESSS!!!!....We get to see Megatron and Starscream fight in this one.

He probably should read reviews, maybe the criticism could improve his directing, but I guess not everyone can take criticism well... Critism is helpful as long as it's constructive. Mud slinging is just entertaining but you don't learn anything from it.

I'll continue to sling mud at Bay, he won't read it anyhow so no harm done. ;-)
