Seems like only yesterday when we were getting early glimpses of the first TRANSFORMERS movie. Now, here we go again with our countdown to TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN. Check out USA TODAY for some cool pics of the upcoming movie. It looks like almost the entire human cast is back (Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, John Torturro, Josh Duhamel). And of course the Autobots (Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, etc) and Decepticons (Starscream, Megatron) will be returning. However, this time around we'll finally be seeing fan favorites like Devastator and Soundwave! Edited by Ro-Dan, Dec 30 2008, 10:35 AM.

I thought he apologized MONTHS ago? I'm not surprised people are just now hearing about this. msn is usually the last to know these things. They only just heard how Avatar 2 was going underwater, something we'd heard months ago. Anyway, lets hope he can at LEAST make it as good as the first one. |

Sounds French. Anyway, this honestly just looks like more of the same. I'll probably rent it, but there's no way I'm paying money to see this in theaters. The last movie promised something big, and it delivered, but only in terms of action. And it was very forgettable. The new movie doesn't seem to improve anything. It's just a new hot chick and a few new transformers. The new chick seems even dumber than the last one. Watch the trailer! who just stands there with a gaping mouth when the whole world is going to hell behind and around them? And if there's any humping dogs in this movie I'm steering waaaaayyy clear of it! Anyway, these are just my impressions. Like I said, I'll probably rent it before making my final judgement, but it's plain to see that as Bay-flicks go, this is either going to be really bad or just popcorn-good. |

You're expecting to see "humping" dogs in a sci-fi/action film about giant, warring alien robotic beings?

Well, saw Transformers: DOTM today. It's definitely an upgrade over Transformers 2. I won't spoil anything, but they did use one of the stories from the Transformers G1 series. And LOTS of action. |

Here's an interesting Transformers question for everyone. Since it looks like this Transformers trilogy is gonna go out with a bang, do you think we will see a reboot of this series a number of years from now? |

Maybe you didn't see the second movie... Anyway, from what I've heard, this movie still isn't any good. People I've heard from said "yeah, it's better than 2, but it's still not a good movie." And others are saying it's every bit as bad. |

I have seen it...but only once and I don't remember a lot of scenes in it. A pair of humping dogs would certainly qualify, in my mind, as a forgettable scene. ![]()

Finally seen Transformers: Dark of the Moon...definitely better than the second film by leaps and bounds...and boy was this moving dark...lots of killing going on. Not that it didn't happen in the last two films but it seems like a lot more in this one. Nice plot twists too. |

Transformers Dark Of The Moon(2011) has reached $645 million in total, worldwide box office receipts: http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/167803-transformers-dark-of-the-moon-reaches-645-million-worldwide It would seem a foregone conclusion that this film will reach $700 million, perhaps even $750 million in worldwide box office revenues before its theatrical run ends. My question: can this movie reach a billion in box office revenue?

If there is going to be a fourth, they desperately need to get a different director. MB has said he's done with the franchise (hopefully he won't change his mind) and the Transformers: Prime series currently on HUB has proven that a series based on a line of toys can be so much more than some dumb explosion porn. Hell, in spite of it's more cartoonish look and lower-caliber action scenes, the Prime series is a million times more awesome than the Bay movies because 1, the bots (most of the time) are the focus of the series and 2, they are amazing characters. They should really draw inspiration from this series when (if) they decide to give the bots more character. |

According to this latest update a fourth and even fifth "Transformers" film may be shot back to back...and likely without Shia LaBoeuf: http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/168670-will-transformers-4-a-5-shoot-back-to-back |

I never had a problem with Shia Labouef. However, I agree with most of the fandom that future films should focus more on the bots. The human story has been set, and now they just need to be the second focus of the films. And one more thing: I'm pretty sure I won't have to worry, but leave out Tyrese Gibson. His "I got jokes for everything" type character annoyed me more than any other actor in the film. Much less in the third movie, but annoying nonetheless. |

I watched Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen yesterday on FX. Michael Bay was correct in his admission, regarding this movie, that "it stinks."

I went to see that movie in the theater twice. I thought it was the cat's ass. Now, I still enjoy it somewhat, but I can see more clearly all the shit that's wrong with it. At this point in time, the only characters besides the bots I cared about were Sam, his parents, and Simmons. Maybe Lennox, but other than that, pfft. I've only seen the third once. I usually have to get multiple viewings under my belt before I can make an accurate analysis. But as it stands, I thought the third was good. |

Excellent... I can't wait to see the trailer for the new game. I kinda hope they do one more after this game, even if this one does end with the Transformers on Earth. It would be cool to see an Earth-based game with the same mechanics (which isn't an unpolished movie tie-in like the game for DotM). |

Alrighty, guys, it looks like I won't be able to go home for Thanksgiving because I have school work to take care of. So to help pass the hours in the evenings when I'm done with homework for the day, I rented the first two of Micheal Bay's transformers movies to watch and take notes on. My initial impression of watching these movies during my high school years was that the first was a pretty good popcorn-summer flick and I even got it on DVD that following Christmas; the second was so bad that I haven't watched either one of them since I saw it in theaters. Yes, that's right, I haven't seen either one of these movies since I watched Revenge of the Fallen in theaters. For that matter, I couldn't even listen to Linkin' Park anymore. It all tasted like poison after RotF. So if I seem a little masochistic here in subjecting myself to these movies again, know that I'll be taking notes on the things I liked and the things that were painful. At the end of this holiday, I can either put one or both of these movies to rest, or discover new levels of love for the brainless-and-bad. Either way, I expect to put my issues with these movies to rest before jumping into Dark of the Moon, which I intend to rent sometime in December. So if you're interested in reading the notes I take for each movie, I'll be posting them on the blog of my account, unabridged and with parenthesized commentary where needed (like which scenes I'm referring to, closing thoughts, etc.). Expect both of them up before Monday. Edited by NWV, Nov 23 2011, 05:46 PM.
