New Transformers Movie Trailer on 12/20

[Kimiden]

Keith, Misfits....so help me lord, we are doing a midnight showing for this one. If there was ever a time to hang out outside of a con, this is it :buttrock:

I'll even bring a mock drum set and guitar to rock out in the parking lot with the heavy metal TF theme and make a total arse out of myself and post it in Youtube.

That's how fraking excited I am for this (think the shot with Prime's appearance did it for me) XD

 

[KamenRiderZero]

Damnit I hate my internet connection. It feels like it's gonna take a half hour to see the whole thing :redface2:

 

[Skyknight]

You're not missing anything.

...(Sigh), it's kind of funny actually to see how freaking delusional Transfans can get over a film THIS generic, seriously, take away the TF title, and NONE of you would be going apeshit over this.

I've seen the movie already, years ago, I don't need to see some wannabe bastardisation pretend to be TF, and even worse, see it's fanbase pretend it's TF also, because it absolutley is'nt.

 

[KamenRiderZero]

I saw it, and to be honest, I thought it looked cool.

I cant speak for anyone else but you're wrong to assume I would do that. Take away the TF title and I'll still go apeshit for this movie. The title wouldnt change the fact that there's giant robots blowing **** up and attacking each other.

If anything some transfans are using the title to bash this movie, not praise it.

My god you people are impossible to please when it comes to Transformers. Ok, so instead of bitching lets do a new discussion. What would you have rather seen in a TF trailer. What, exactly, was wrong with the current and what type of angle would you prefer to see TF in.

1. Accurate designs, and don't give me that idiotic "they would'nt work" bullshit when half the fandom creamed over fan-made tests that proved they could, only to contradict themselves when these crappy designs come out

2. The theme song, where the hell was the theme song blaring in the trailer letting the audience know what film they were going to see in a huge feast of explosions and battle scenes? The audience don't want to be "left in suspense", they want to see what there spending money on without being duped in watching something that might dissapoint them and probably will. SELL them Transformers, especially when half of the Transformers in the opening few minutes don't look REMOTLEY like the classic designs, it just looks like any typical robot movie, I know that pleases rednecks like you, but TF is'nt your average robot movie.

None of these goddamn apologists think do they?

Personally, all I wanted, going into this, was giant robots blowing **** up. Looks like Im getting what I want and Im damned happy about it. I appreciate the angle the production is trying to sell for TF, it's refreshing new take on the story. It's like saying "this is what would really happen if the TFs landed" and I love that.

Have you EVER read one of the Marvel comics? Or Furman's recent work "Inflitration", there as close to a fresh, realist approach to TF whilst maintaining the designs as you can get, so don't try this petty "Realist Hollywood" **** on someone who actually knows TF, where as you absolutley don't.

It's not a two hour, live action version of the cartoon, where colorful robots start brooding and saying childish lines. That's my opinion.

"Childish lines", pfft, god you're the clasiest example of narrow-minded idiocy, I bet if the movie delivered a line about someI-Pod, you'll be creaming over it calling the line "excellent"

And Im frankly surprised this trailer didnt strike anyone -here- (or at RB) as being nothing short of Bad Ass. Or at least a little bit interesting. So far everyones been like "whatever...". Well god damn.

You like stuff that does'nt make you think. TF for the most part has always made you think, war stories are all about "brooding", so therefore you don't really get or know TF one bit and can't call yourself a fan.

 

[KamenRiderZero]

My God, Skyknight, do you really live this much to talk down to people on the internet? Is it really that hard to believe some people might enjoy this movie?

 

[ForeverRed]

The new trailer is okay. Not too bad but could've better.

I'm game. If you guys wanna come out to my neck of the woods, we can go to Mitsuwa and then see it at AMC(it's the biggest movie theater in the area).

1. Accurate designs,.

If you dont like the designs, fair enough. I happen to like them.

2. The theme song, where the hell was the theme song blaring in the trailer letting the audience know what film they were going to see

Did we really need a theme song to let people know what movie this was? I thought it was obvious the minute Blackout transformed and we saw Optimus. Or how about the title.. "Transformers". We dont need a childrens TV show theme song (no matter how bad ass I think it is) blaring on a movie trailer to get a message across. Bay specifically stated he didnt want people to think this was just a "cartoon" or a "toy commercial". Blaring that theme song would have gotten the majority of audiences not taking the movie seriously.

That's what I think.

None of these goddamn apologists think do they?

I really hate that word. Who the hell is apologizing? I'm going to start calling you a TF Apologist. "doesnt make sense", you say? Calling me one doesnt make sense either since Im doing nothing but saying I love this movie and while I've attempted to defend it's concept, I've never "apologized" for it. Associating fans of a movie or a PR season as an "apologist" is really annoying.

Have you EVER read one of the Marvel comics? Or Furman's recent work "Inflitration",

Havent read any of the comics. However I've been getting interested in reading them. I'm in a "Transformers" mood lately, so I've been reading up on the comics. I was thinking about buying Infiltration and Stormbringer. Im hearing mixed reviews. About the older marvel comics, I wouldnt mind checking them out but I just feel as though they might be hard to track down and its not worth the effort.

Feel free to recommend any comics to me.

You like stuff that does'nt make you think.

I love movies and stories of all kinds, but we all have our tastes. And for this particular movie, I've decided that this is the kind of movie I want. Robots blowing **** up. I love "stuff that makes you think" but that doesnt mean I want that from everything and it doesnt mean I cant -also- enjoy mindless action movies. Sometimes I want fucking variety, is that so wrong?

TF for the most part has always made you think

Maybe in the comics? But all I've seen are the cartoons and the original movie. I loved them, but I dont quite see how they made you "think". They certainly told nice stories (beast wars had great stories)

therefore you don't really get or know TF one bit and can't call yourself a fan.

Why? Because you dictate who can and cant be a fan? You're just another person like me, you are not an authority on the TF community and cant tell me or anyone here "what" they are.

I like TF, therefore it makes me a Fan. I'm no less of a fan just because I dont enjoy TF the same way you do, or because I have a different perspective on how a live-action movie should be done.

That, right there, is bigotry and arrogance at it's finest. 'Nuff said. Don't label me just because we don't agree on concepts.

=-=-=-=-=-=

Further more, TF has had so many great stories throughout it's run. You are ranting off under some assumption that I want -all- of TF to conform to one single concept. I don't. I enjoy G1, I enjoy Beast Wars. I fucking hate the Animes but they have their good points. I loved the animated Movie.

I get what you mean by War Stories, that's one of the concepts I love about TFs. It's a bad ass civil war of epic proportions (which is also why I dont like the animes. They feel less and less like a war and just a bunch of fucking idiots powering up with the current-item-of-the-season to fire of a powerful laser blastpewpew)

But that does not mean that I -have- to want those same stories and concepts for a Live-Action movie. And just because I want this movie to have giant robots blowing **** up does not mean I expect nothing more from any incarnation of TF in other media forms.

I like variety, and while you might be so tirelessly upset and crying yourself to sleep because Bay didnt do the movie how you invisioned, I enjoy this refreshing take on the story. It's a different way of telling the TF story and it's not just an over-glorified two hour live-action version of the cartoon.

I'm not trying to condescend to the Cartoons or Comics. They were fantastic in their own respects. But as a live action movie, I'm the guy that supports the "realism" approach. I like the idea that the movie is trying to impose a sense of awe about this movie. That's not just about "characters", but about "how would this work if it really happened". It's different. And I may go into that theater and HATE IT. I just might. I'm known for changing my mind drastically. There have been movies I wanted to hate and ended up loving or shows that I thought I would love and just downright hated.

But there's nothing wrong with just wanting a good popcorn action flick. I think robots transforming, firing lasers (pewpew), and smashing **** up on highways is fucking awesome. You praise the TF storyline and how they are "brooding" and really great. I have no doubt those stories are great. So why dont you go re-read those stories? Why dont you go re-watch that bad ass cartoon or animated-movie? Why must the Live-Action conform to these same ideas like a fucking broken record?

Why is this movie horrible just because it didnt live up to your expectations? But whatever. You can say "you dont know what entertainment is" or "you are easy to please", but at least I'm happy. My happiness is more important than your deluded perception of "true fan"ism.

Let this movie do it's own thing, that's my point. You dont have to like what this movie is doing just like you dont have to enjoy every TF cartoon or every TF comic! Some you will like and some you will hate. But that doesnt make you any less of a TF fan just because you didnt like a specific TF season or comic.
