Transformers the live action movie.

[Dolla Bill]

I know this movie is about a year away, but they just released the movie poster for the film. Transformers was just about my entire childhood, and I am really stoked to see this movie, but I do not want to get all my hopes up for it. If you click on the movie poster, it takes you to the site where there is a countdown. I think the first trailer will appear on either Superman Returns, or Pirates of the Carribbean.

[swheeler]

Haha the countdown's wrong, it's a year off

[Dolla Bill]

Haha the countdown's wrong, it's a year off

Its counting down till the trailer, not the movie.

[swheeler]

Its counting down till the trailer, not the movie.
That makes a lot more sense

[VTBob]

I hope this movie is as awesome as it potentially could be :)

I wanna see some big-friggin robots duking it out!

[ihatedallas]

is it like the regular transformers or like the beast wars transformers? either is cool with me...

[bwparker]

naustalgia tells me this movie will be nothing short of extrordinary.

[VTBob]

I cant wait to see Optimus Prime rock some Decepticons (and maybe run over some people that are in the way :D)

[tbfoster1]

is it like the regular transformers or like the beast wars transformers? either is cool with me...

whats a beast wars transformer. It that like the newer edition.

I don't care what else comes out next year, this is the movie I will be looking foward to see the most.

Its what i used to watch when I was like 7/8...its got optimus prime and all that stuff but instead of transforming into trucks and what not they turn into like monkeys and dinosuars...

[EberKain]

Is it a remake of the animated movie as a live action, or a new story?

[PyroGenic]

Is it a remake of the animated movie as a live action, or a new story?


not sure, but steven spielberg is directing it and i think optimus prime is in a lot of the scenes so it can't be a remake of the animated one... well maybe... but he better be kicking ass and not just talking all the time.

A little bit of information on the movie. Btw, Spielberg is producing it, with Michael Bay (The Rock, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, and The Island) directing.

Beast Wars transformers was a really, really well written series.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115108/

A little bit of info on that one as well.

[fent]

beast wars was AWESOME. in college, we'd have 20 guys packed in a room every day watching it. dino-bot was amazing!

[lakeskin]

As long as there are no Rodimus Prime sightings then it should be pretty good. To this day I still hate that piece of crap robot...

[whitskins]

I used to love Transformers but now I can't remember hardly anything about them. What the heck is wrong with me? Oh well, I'll still go see this movie and it will likely rock the house.

[whitskins]

Holy crap, check out these set pics from the Transformers movie. It shows a lot of the actors and a dude who looks very much like the actor Anthony Anderson (although he is not listed as part of the cast right now).

Anyways, the pics aren't that cool til you check out Anthony (or his lookalike) rocking the CLINTON PORTIS JERSEY!! How sweet is that??

Are the Skins and CP getting a shout out in the Transformers movie??? If so, then Michael Bay, you sir, are THE MAN!!!

I fairly certain its a new story. And the Michael Bay(Dir)/Stephen Spielberg(Prod.) thing is correct.

[bwparker]

Here is some good news:

The fourth of July is a killer opening date. It means they expect a lot from this movie in the box-office. Which tends to mean it, at the very least, won't completely suck. But its still over a year away and that date isn't set in stone. Look out for news of them pushing back the date...that means its not looking good. If it ends up opening in Feb. the movie probably sucks. Feb is like a action movie graveyard.

Bad News: July 4 puts it in close competition with Harry Potter(which I believe is still un-official, but the rumor is July 7(7/7/07), which is a Sat, and 7 is significant in the book somehow or something.), which pretty much spells box-office trouble...:(

I think 7/7/07 will be the release date for the book since it will be book 7! Which as you stated the number 7 is significant in the book.

[Dolla Bill]

Official teaser trailer was released early. Doesn't show jack.

Yeah, really disappointing. It's no reflection on the movie of course, but I was pretty let down considering how sweet the Spiderman 3 trailer was.

And they really shouldn't have had that stupid countdown on their website if all they were gonna show was a bunch of lame shots of the Mars Rover and a split second of a Transformer covered in shadow.

Oh well...

Harry Potter is scheduled for July 13th now I believe. Transformers already had a release date face-off with Fantastic Four 2, and FF blinked and opted for a later release because they know Transformers would eat their lunch.

[bwparker]

Of course FF2 blinked...FF1 was terrible

[Dolla Bill]

Its official. Voice of Optimus Prime will be Peter Cullen, the original voice of Prime during the hey day of the tranformers cartoon.

[sableholic]

I used to love Transformers but now I can't remember hardly anything about them. What the heck is wrong with me? Oh well, I'll still go see this movie and it will likely rock the house.

Lol same here, I remember loving them, but other than that I dont remember much. Stupid brain.

[bwparker]

That is easily the best thing I've heard about this movie.

[smoak]

Personally, I don't want a trailer that shows too much. If they do it right, I don't see this film taking a back seat to ANY next summer. Do you know how many people grew up with Transformers!?

[sableholic]

That is easily the best thing I've heard about this movie.

Agreed, that and that there is a xbox transformer lol

Quite possibly the worst teaser ever.

Great news on Optimus though. Thats freakin awesome.

Some quick notes, Bay has said that the trailer has absolutely nothing to do with the movie. Thank god. Second thing, is that Frank Welker (original Megatron) has submitted an audition for the movie.

[LATrueRedskin]

I heard they're introducing a new character in the upcoming movie: Geotris Metroid.

More excellent news. I have a good feeling about this movie.

Now, if they add Stan Bush to the soundtrack it could possibly be the best movie of the young century. "You got the touch. You got the POOOWWWERRR!!! YEAH!!!"

Can we get Dirk Diggler to sing this version for the soundtrack like he did in Boogie Nights?

[lakeskin]

Can we get Dirk Diggler to sing this version for the soundtrack like he did in Boogie Nights?

No. But if Reed Rothchild were to play guitar I wouldnt have a problem with it.

[PyroGenic]

if anybody is interested, here's a somewhat long read from some weirdo on the set of the movie, describing in detail about what's going around him in some somewhat entertaining ways. I think its about the Scorponok scene and kind of gives you an idea of what exactly goes down for those "holy crap everything is blowing up" Michael Bay scenes.

EDIT: whoops, forgot the link...

http://www.aintitcoolnews.com/display.cgi?id=23800

[Dolla Bill]

Just announced which Autobots and Decepticons are in the movie. Also, you get to write a line for Prime in the movie. There are some screenshots as well of the toyline based on the movie.

[Dolla Bill]

New trailer for the movie has been released. I am pleasantly suprised by it.

http://uk.promotions.yahoo.com/transformers/

[GolfFreak]

That looks sweet!

[PyroGenic]

I like the look they're giving the transformers.... but I really really hope its more of a thing where its Machine v. Machine rather than Man v. Machine cuz that's lame.

[Rogers_Redskins]

I loved the trailer, it looks like Machine VS Machine.

[tbfoster1]

I just saw Shrek 3 and they had a trailer for transformers I hadn't seen yet...It is real sweet and there is the transform noise in it when Optimus Prime rolls up. this is going to be the best movie ever


In case you haven't seen it, it is the exclusive trailer in the link.

http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/transformers.html

edit: There was a little bit more in the preview at the movie but this one is the bulk of it

[GeneralDisorder]

naustalgia tells me this movie will be nothing short of extrordinary.

Yeah but nostalgia just ain't what it used to be...

[RedskinsVision]

Trailer looks good. Can't expect nothing less than entertainment from this film. I hope Brawn's in this.

Michael Bay put up a little snippet of some fighting. Looks damn impressive.

Dude you are talking about Plot in a Michael Bay film.,...I have seen better plots in softcore porn then in Most Michael Bay films.

[Sweepea436]

Really? Which ones?...... just kidding. I already know which ones! lol Yeah, I'm preparing myself for the seemingly inevitable..... but one can "hope" right?

[Dolla Bill]

Plot? I just want to see some Autobot vs. Decepticon *spensored*kicking going on.

[PyroGenic]

Plot? I just want to see some Autobot vs. Decepticon *spensored*kicking going on.

i wonder if they're gonna keep the same sound effects for all the lasers they pull outa nowhere... that'd be pretty funny and make up for a non existent plot :)

[Keino]

Wait....You watch softcore Porn? Whats the point of that?

Nothing ruins porn like dialogue and storylines.

Well when you can't get to the stash because of the presence of other family members sometimes Cinemax on Demand has to do lol

Opening a day early. Showings begin tonight at 8. Who's going? Got my tickets already....

[smoak]

I still have yet to really see anything on this except that original trailor. I am going in uber fresh, baby!!

[chrisbcbu]

Opening a day early. Showings begin tonight at 8. Who's going? Got my tickets already....


i am debating on whether i am going tonight or not. They are having a sneak preview today, but dont officially open until the 4th

[SpicyMcHaggis]

I think I'm gonna go tomorrow. My girlfriend can't wait...:rolleyes:

[bwparker]

Tomorrow night for me. Should be fun, but ultimately disappointing. Just a guess...

[Torresa]

My advice.. GO SEE IT!!!!!!

[ryflan47]

I'm going in 30 minutes, I'll give my thoughts later.

[Torresa]

I'm going in 30 minutes, I'll give my thoughts later.

You won't be disappointed

[chrisbcbu]

This movie was fantastic. I absolutely loved it. The way they transformed surpassed my expectations. I would definitely see this movie again.

[ryflan47]

10 out of 10. Best movie I've seen in a while. Great special effects. I will definitely be going again and I will be wearing my Clinton Portis jersey...

One of my friends who I went with is a Cowboys fan, so I let him hear it!

[Dolla Bill]

Oh.My.God.


(Thoughts will come later.)

**Did anyone catch the trailer for the JJ Abrams movie? Unreal....I believe its called Cloverfield.

lol. I agree. I was actually wearing my Redskins shirt. I had actually forgotton that he wore a Portis jersey during the movie. So when it came on; I was like "heck yea"!!

[MEOWMIX]

I cant wait to see it...but it doesnt come out here till the end of the month..I have been waiting for this since i was a kid!! I hope they did the original cartoons some justice!!

AUTOBOTS TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!!!!

[chrisbcbu]

AUTOBOTS TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT!!!!


they do use that line a couple of times. The crowd went nuts when he did!

This movie was also much funnier than i expected. Great one liners and setups. Which was a pleasant suprise to the story line.

[PyroGenic]

i was dissapointed.... too much humans, not enough transformers :(

[MWballer]

Loved the movie best movie I've seen in a long time by far surpassed my expectations will prolly see it again. Speilberg really out did himself this time the way they combined comedy, romance, and action makes the 2 plus hours go by fast unlike Pirates of the Carribean 3. So basically GO SEE IT!!!

btw did anyone else see the teaser trailer with something destroying everything in the city and then they didn't give a title or anything. Does anyone know what movie that is cause the teaser definetly worked on me.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

I'm going to see it tonight. My girlfriend has caved in. So if in the next 3 hours I read any spoilers without warning in this thread, heads will roll.

nothing released about the movie, or what the actual movie is. I heard Cloverfield is just a code name.

[chrisbcbu]

With it being on Earth i can forgive the amount of humans that were involved. I was just happy it wasnt strictly humans vs transformers.

[Dolla Bill]

answer...

You are correct. He's being ultra secretive, kind of like Lost....wait...was that secretive or just winging it as it goes along?

[MEOWMIX]

Quick question on the movie...in the cartoons Megatron was a Handgun when he transformed,is it the same in the movie...Is he a bigass 45 cal.??
Damn i just watched the trailor again....Feel like a kid again! ha ha ha

[GolfFreak]

He's an alien jet that is real menacing.

[SpicyMcHaggis]

Fantastic. Awesome movie. If the dvd were out, I would have bought it on the way back from the theatre.

[Torresa]

He's an alien jet that is real menacing.

Which makes more since. the cartoon he stood next to other transformers and was same size or bigger, then transformed to fit in their hands. They made it more relative to size.

[Dolla Bill]

Which makes more since. the cartoon he stood next to other transformers and was same size or bigger, then transformed to fit in their hands. They made it more relative to size.


They did, but the main reason why he isn't a gun is that the producers and director felt it would be like Darth Vader transforming into a light saber and letting someone else do the work. Also they wanted somewhat realistic physics when dealing with the robots. It had something to do with mass shifting, but in the movie they introduced it with the all-spark. They also said that due to the mass shifting they can introduce more robots like Soundwave.


Btw, if this movie does not win an Oscar for best special effects then the Oscars are rigged.

[HAWGZHEAD]

Fantastic. Awesome movie. If the dvd were out, I would have bought it on the way back from the theatre.
Agreed. I really didn't think it was going to be that good. I thought it would be filled with cheezy one-liners but they kept them to a minimum. It was a great action movie with some of the best special effects to date IMO.

BTW, how much did GM pay to have evrey single car in that movie be a GM

[HAWGZHEAD]

I really do not know how much they paid but it had to be in the millions.
I saw the movie this afternoon with my daughter, she is 14 so I had to fill her in on the little one liners that were thrown about in the movie.

[saviour]

I saw the movie last night and I was highly satisfied. I grew up on Transformers and I have the entire series on DVD and still watch them to this day. I was expecting to be disappointed but boy was I wrong. This movie rocked. The action wasnt as over the top as I expected and it seemed that everything worked out well.

Go see it.

[tbfoster1]

I just got back from seeing the movie and it was AWESOME!!!..Did anyone else get teary eyed during the movie or am I just gay...

[chrisbcbu]

I just got back from seeing the movie and it was AWESOME!!!..Did anyone else get teary eyed during the movie or am I just gay...

From the way they did the movie; When the robot lands on Earth it scans an object and it can take that shape. Or at least that is the way it looked in the movie.

They paid a pretty penny... I work for a chevy dealership and between and incentives, rebates and incentives it's been marketed like BK markets Shrek...lol.

[Carmelo]

OMFG!!!! WOW!!! THIS DESERVES ALL CAPS!!! AND EXCLAMATION POINTS!!! I ENJOYED THIS MOVIE LIKE NONE OTHER!!! BEST MOVIE OF THE SUMMER BY FAR!!! **CPENSORED** AWESOME!!!

I enjoyed this movie so friggin much it is crazy. It was crazy funny, awesome action and cool story. Just really a friggin unbelievable movie. I absolutely loved it immensely. I could have watched it over again right after it ended and I would have loved it still just as much! Friggin awesome awesome awesome!! MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE!!! Friggin great! I cannot stress how much I loved this flick, how much I laughed out loud. Friggin Great.

NOT TO MENTION THAT ANTHONY ANDERSON WORE A REDSKINS PORTIS JERSEY DURING THE ENTIRE FLICK!!!

[rskinsfan10]

Took my boys to see it today before heading down to The Mall for the fireworks. We absolutely loved it. I have no complaints whatsoever.

[rskinsfan10]

BTW, how much did GM pay to have evrey single car in that movie be a GMI think that you are forgetting about the badass Mustang police car that fought with Bumblebee.

I'm a Ford guy through and through, but even I have to admit that new Camaro is sweet.

[GolfFreak]

Saw it as well, pretty cool. I think my wife even enjoyed it.

How long until the sequel?

Sorry to hear you were a bit disappointed by the movie....


;)

[Carmelo]

Sorry to hear you were a bit disappointed by the movie....


;)
lol, yeah... how could you tell?

[bwparker]

I really like the movie. I was...screw that...AM a big Transformers fan and I thought there was a good chance this movie would blow. It didn't. It was exciting and fun. That said...here are my complaints.

1) Way too many jokes. This movie had some great humor spots, but at times it was really milking for a laugh and it was annoying. It should have just let the humor come.

2) Too many people. Not enough character development with the machines.

3) Too many stupid undeveloped subplots. This goes along with the other one. That Australian chick was hot, but...why bother? Did Tad Hamilton really need a wife and kid at home? Why did the girl need a juvie record? Scratch those subplots and add in some TRANSFORMER subplots.

4) This is just my personal preference, but...they had many homages to the original movie. (Most notably the use of the line "One shall stand, one shall fall") They should have done that more...here are the two example I can think of.

Michael Bay Movie (paraphrase):

Optimus: At the end of this day....one shall stand, one shall fall
Megatron: You try to protect the weak, that is why you fail.

Original Movie:

Optimus: One shall stand, one shall fall
Megatron: Why throw away your life so recklessly.
Optimus: Thats a question you should ask yourself, Megatron.

(Those two lines are awesome and should have been used)

And secondly:

Michael Bay Movie

Jazz: You want a piece of me?
Megatron: No, I'll take two. (rips him in half)

Original Movie:

Megatron: (Long unrelated speach)...the autobots will be vanquished forever.
Ironhide: (reach up, barely able to move) Nooo...
Megatron: Such heroic nonsense (Shoot him in the face)

They should have used those lines somehow in that scene. "No, I'll take two" is a terrible line...ugg



Anyway. I'm a big dork, so yeah. It was a fun movie and I'll have to see it again sometime.

[Sweepea436]

I thought the movie was great. I don't really have time to write my analysis, but I will say I plan on seeing this one again and I hope the rumors of a follow up are true.

[helimech24]

Great freaking Movie, nothing else needs to be said!

[dj_stouty]

I haven't seen it yet, but I'm amazed at how overwhelming positive everyone's reviews are. I all but gave up on comic book/cartoon remakes, but I may have to re-evaluate that...

BTW - I was digging through my old bedroom at my folks house a few weeks ago and pulled out Transformers comic books #1, #2 and #3. (along with Smurfs #1, and A-Team #1, #2 and #3...LOL) You guys think these are worth anything now that the movie is so big and heralded?

[Carmelo]

umm... yeah! I would think so very much. If they are in good condition, they should be worth something definitely.

[NCskinsfanatic]

Finally saw it, just got back and it was fracken awsome. There was quite a bit of humor in it kinda like I remember the cartoons but less cheesy. The action scences were spectacular....so all in all, I loved it. I would have liked to have seen a lil darker side to the storyline...like they did with the last batman...but it was a targeting the whole family and IMO they hit their target!

[redskin_rich]

Awesome movie. Say what you want about Michael Bay but he knows how to deliver an enjoyable theater experience. I can't remember the last time I was so engrossed in the action of a movie that I wouldn't let anything interupt it. Best special effects and especially the sound effects, that I have ever seen or heard. This is the rare movie that I would go see again in the theater.

[redskin_rich]

I think that you are forgetting about the badass Mustang police car that fought with Bumblebee.

I'm a Ford guy through and through, but even I have to admit that new Camaro is sweet.

That was Barricade and you're right, he was badass. Did you notice the mission statement on his squadcar, "...to punish and enslave," LOL! I was surprised that Bumblebee took him down but he came back when Megatron emerged.
That was the only complaint I had with the movie was that not all the fates of the decepticons were shown, or if they were, I missed it. If you stay through the main credits, you do see that Starscream did survive and left Earth.

And yes, that new Camaro is hot, as is that brunette, Micala.

Really, I never stayed through the credits. (Saw it twice.) And yes, Megan Fox is smokin'.

[redskin_rich]

Really, I never stayed through the credits. (Saw it twice.) And yes, Megan Fox is smokin'.

Yeah, they give you three quick clips during the credits. The first two are Sam's idiot parents being interviewed by the local news and they are funny, then finally you see Starscream fly off into space. I don't usually sit through any credits but this was one movie that I was willing to sit for a few minutes afterwards. I didn't want my kids to see my wide open, adrenaline rushed face immediately after the movie ;).

[hail2skins]

I saw the movie and thought it was great.

Movie will be out this wednesday in France but it is also the same day that the Simpsons movie is out (Doh').
I'll probably go see the Transformers first this weekend cos' my better half doesn't really like the Simpsons.

I think that you are forgetting about the badass Mustang police car that fought with Bumblebee.

I'm a Ford guy through and through, but even I have to admit that new Camaro is sweet.

I don't really understand why but Ford doesn't actually claim the car that's used in the movie. It's actually a Saleen S281, Ford refused to be portrayed as a villian in the movie and would not give Bay and the movie rights to use the Mustang name so they used the Saleen version of the car which is technically called Saleen S281. Personally I think it's just a movie and Barricade was awesome to me, I wouldn't mind having my name attached to that car in the movie. Barricade had that "I'm a badass and I know it" type of persona and I loved it. Why wouldn't you want that attached to the only muscle car in your lineup? Especially with Dodge and Chevy coming out with their own retro muscle cars next year. Ford is having enough problems as is, I doubt this would have hurt them any more.

That was Barricade and you're right, he was badass. Did you notice the mission statement on his squadcar, "...to punish and enslave," LOL! I was surprised that Bumblebee took him down but he came back when Megatron emerged.
That was the only complaint I had with the movie was that not all the fates of the decepticons were shown, or if they were, I missed it. If you stay through the main credits, you do see that Starscream did survive and left Earth.

And yes, that new Camaro is hot, as is that brunette, Micala.Actually, I didn't notice him returning near the end. I'll check that out the next time I see it. Yeah, I noticed the slogan on the side. I thought that was cool to say the least.

BTW, Micala has a photo shoot in a magazine that I was looking at in my babershop, but for the life of me I can't remember what mag it was. It may have been Maxim, but I'm not sure. The spread was hot to say the least.

Even so, a Saleen is a suped up 'Stang, so I don't understand what they hoped to accomplish with that crap. I totally agree with you in the fact that the exposure surely couldn't be a bad thing for them these days.

I wouldn't have and didn't notice the difference. Just saw that it was a stang and looked badass... like it should :D
