Is there any way this could be good? Michael Bay hasn't had a hit in a long time. But I have to see how they do it.

DAMN, posted the same time I did!

Oh no. I loved Transformers as a young boy (7-9 years, if I remember correctly), but it's pretty easy to see now in retrospect that it was just a pretty typical effort to exploit kids' natural lack of consumer discretion by starting up comic books and TV-series in order to sell poorly designed and overtly expensive toys. In fact, Transformers was one of the very first toy lines to expand the whole phenomenon to such a large extent.

I was just there a few days ago and nothing...I have to wait til I get home, we don't have flash here nor can play avi's

I just mentioned that on the "other" thread. Yeah, Michael Bay is directing. I think I have only seen the Island. So we'll get lots of Eye candy and quick action scenes that don't make a lot of sense.

Everything will look great in a flashy and not incredibly soulful way. He did Bad Boys(decent buddy flick), Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, Bad Boys 2, and The Island. He's a real winner.

I thought transformers were friendly japanese cartoons?

kidelrich said:

I really liked the Island - as did my friend. Maybe it's a British-appeal film.

I did too for the beginning of it.

is it the same as the trailor on the other thread? I went to the site and nothing really happened.

I loved the Transformers as a kid. I am really looking forward to next year's VOLTRON film. The score is being composed by Pharrell Williams.

Will this movie be like these ads

It looks cool. But it's no "Snakes on a Plane".

Wait a second: He-Man & GI Joe did THE most damage in term of marketing to children.

so transformers come from outer space?

If any of you were fans of the original Transformers series, you already know what to look for in the upcoming 2007 film.

I hope this movie is done right. Now somebody needs to get to work on a Thundercats movie, with Ms. Jolie-Pitt as you know who.
