the movie is going to suck

[Psychrome86]

Maybe i speak too harsh but i live in LA and i'm sick of the same shit with a different title every time. I'm sure we'll have great special effects. After all, that's what we all want (aside from real robots). I feel we're going to be "distracted" by other stuff. We already have two "hawt" chicks that will probably serve no purpose other than to take up time and screen space (if that's possible for twigs). I call them bells and whistles.

[Backscatter]

"Hawt Chicks" and Transformers rule! Bad or good I'm going to have fun at this movie!

[Laser_Optimus]

Eh... it's a hollywood flick... it was bound to have anorexic females in it. Either way, I think it's still way too early for us to say if the movie will suck or not.

[Lazerbeak]

This topic is probably going to be met with some harsh replies, I'm thinkin'. Personally, I think I have to agree. I'm also tired of the same cookie-cutter formula for action movies these days. Granted, I really shouldn't be expecting a super-deep, ultra-well-written tour-de-force about transforming robots, but I was kinda hoping the first TF live-action movie would be less... cliched.

With the news of the addition of two "HAWT CHIKS" to the cast, I have low expectations to say the least, as it's beginning to look like another high-flash slice of Hollywood cheese. The way it looks now, I feel like it's Titanic and Pearl Harbour all over again, with lots of eye-candy, an eye-roller love story, and very little to do with the actual subject matter.

I'm still hoping that I'll be pleasantly surprised, but at this point, I'm thinkin' I'll wait for the DVD release. Still, it's WAY too early to make any hasty predicitons, so I'm gonna sit back and wait for time to tell.

[Valkysas]

this topic sucks.

[Nefud]

this topic sucks.


And as long as we're predicting based on mediocre evidence I'm going to go ahead and say his posting career is going to suck.

[Random Autobot]

You all suck.

[RHansen]

i like bananas


Basically, we wont know if it will suck until we see it, so dont be so negative

[Team Jetfire]

And as long as we're predicting based on mediocre evidence I'm going to go ahead and say his posting career is going to suck.

Agreed, people who are so short sighted with the broad generalizations like 'this will suck' really don't do much for the fandom. Keep an open mind.

[Rampage01]

Well, at least its not a complaint that it will suck because it's not G1.

Personally, I already figured that it would be made as a standard action flick. If we go in expecting this to be the best film since Citizen Kane, we'll be rather dissappointed.

[Nightrain]

I don't know if it's going to suck, but I'm still hella nervous about it. It really feels like the Transformers will end up as pretty background graphics while the humans go through all the emotional bullshit Hollywood loves to spew.

I can only hope there's a scene where Megatron steps on two cowboys inside a tent.

[Chrono Grimlock]

These "hawt" girls could easily be dressed down and just be average girls. I mean, have you seen North Country? There's this crazy thing called make up. And neither one is going to be a starring role.

I'm looking forward to this movie, the only thing I'm still hung up on is Don M. is a douche.

[Psychrome86]

damn it's getting so a negative opinion isn't welcome on a discussion board. ok...

backscatter seems to have the best attitude. win or lose it's still about the robots :)

as for donkey-lovers who can't even post an opinion on the original topic... get off your high horse of a computer and put up or shut up.

gee i'm glad i'm not one of those "people." i mean, i back my shit up. it's not like i simply stated "you all suck."

[Random Autobot]

Someone isn't familiar with the concept of "tongue in cheek".

[ILoveDinobot]

HEY WTF I DON'T CARE IF THERE ARE HOT CHICKS!! I am going to this movie to see the giant robots <3

[Psychrome86]

someone isn't familiar with the concept of "i'm dead serious"
are you wearing a red shirt by any chance?

[Voiceroy]

i mean, i back my shit up.For sure. It's all there in one teeny paragraph. You should go into the legal profession.

Based on your oh-so-well-documented and factual assertion, don't just stop with the TF movie. You should add that next US President is going to suck too, along with the whole next NFL and NBA seasons, the next Harry Potter book AND the movie, the sandwich I'm going to eat for lunch tomorrow, and every TV show and movie for the next 20 years--they're all going to suck like the suckiest thing that ever sucked.

[Random Autobot]

Heh. Way off, man.

Wait a minute... are you coming on to me?

[Psychrome86]

nah, just had a long, hawt day and needed to to find a worthless red shirt to hack up... helps relieve stress.

since words can't say what you really mean, don't say anything.

That's funny.

Double post. Damn.

I've changed my mind. this topic is fucking awesome.

Finally - a Tf fan with some common sense.
Words well said Bortha!!!!!

[Joe Moore]

I'm going to step in and ask for a little peace here. If people want to voice frustration or concern with the flick, then feel free to. If you want to debate the merrits of the actors being hired, then do so. But for the love of god, stop the damn needless insults and bickering.

[MegaMoonMan]

I second the "this thread sucks" sentiment.

You back your shit up?:lol:lol:lol

With what, CD-RWs?

The movie MAY turn out to be like every other action flick, but it's a wee bit too soon to tell.

Awwww....but it's fun to read!

[Random Autobot]

What I don;t understand is how the presence of hawt girls is going to lead to the film sucking, when it's far more likely to suck due to the talentless hack that's directing it.

[ILoveDinobot]

Yeah Carrie Fisher in a bikini like slave outfit didn't ruin Star Wars.

[Random Autobot]

Yeah Carrie Fisher in a bikini like slave outfit didn't ruin Star Wars.

No, the paunchy guy in flannel did that.

[ILoveDinobot]

No, the paunchy guy in flannel did that.

If you mean Lucas, he is also the guy who made it in the first place. But this is going a little off topic now.

[Random Autobot]

Yes, let's keep on track.

This movie will suck because Jon Voigt is possibly in negotiations to appear.

[Psychrome86]

maybe i didn't make myself clear with my cd-rws, screen time and story time will be wasted on these two girls. i can't wait for the "kiss" scene. Bay will ruin it with this hollywood spit shine and quick cutting.

[Wreckie]

Wow. You can see the future and you're wasting that gift on this topic when you could be placing bets on who wins the next world series. :rolleyes2

[butz]

"Hot girls" will ruin the movie? Wow.

[fosterlager]

Will the girls kiss each other?

[Random Autobot]

That all remains to be seen. As it stands, we know that one is the love interest of the main human character, and the other is a codebreaker for the military. Neither of these sounds like big roles, more supproting parts.

Obviously any film like this needs a human element for the audience to relate to. The casual moviegoer will want a character that brings them into the action, someone who's viewing all this with the same perspective they are. In X-Men it was Wolverine's role as the outsider seeing all this for the first time. In this it will be Sam, if that's what they are still calling him.

The human character has to have a world that they live in. Hence, girfriend, dad, buying a car, blah blah blah. Then, the Transformers show up and turn that world batshit insane. Without the human element, the audience would just be watching giant robots fight with each other, and have nothing to put it in context.

I reserve judgement until the film is released, but Michael Bay fills me with dread. He has not made a good movie, period.

[Kranix2k]

If we go in expecting this to be the best film since Citizen Kane, we'll be rather dissappointed.

QFT

Man, if they think it'll suck now...wait until they find out that the Backstreet Boys will be voicing the Autobots and N'Synch the Decepticons! :confused2

Besides that, there's not a damn thing wrong with having a hot chick in an action flick. Jessica Alba never distracted me while watching....wait, what was the name of the flick?

[ILoveDinobot]

That's right, CD-RWs. I'm going to just download the movie and if it sucks, I'm not out nine bucks.

The presence of super hot chicks only increased my enjoyment of Sin City.

hehe... increased.

[ILoveDinobot]

Seriously though guys no matter what actress's they pick to play in this movie. The majority of actress's out there are sexy, beautiful models. That is what makes it hollywood. So no use complaining.
Remember it could be worse they could have the Olsen twins in it. :puke:

[spyderbytez]

I hope the movie is Awesome - My expectations is to be as great as Jurrasic Park was when i first saw it in theaters.

[Hook]

Bah. I'm not even gonna bother reading through this entire thread. The title itself is flamebait.

The movie is gonna rule :p

[butz]

Remember it could be worse they could have the Olsen twins in it. :puke:

Ick. I made the joke when the movie was first announced that they'd be in it. I just can't understand their appeal.

[Psychrome86]

[butz]

Is it possible he just started this up to rile people up? Boldly claim that the movie will suck for a reason that a lot of people aren't going to buy?

[Rumble02]

ima gonna love the movie no matter what

[A_U_T_O_B_O_T]

Is it possible he just started this up to rile people up? Boldly claim that the movie will suck for a reason that a lot of people aren't going to buy?

Possibly. It's also really early to tell anything. At the moment I'm questioning the way they are going about the movie with the whole "boy and his car" thing. But before I judge I wanna see what the movie is like first.

Also no matter what, just because it's Transformers it will be purchased as soon as it comes out on video.

[Lazerbeak]

Hmmm, after re-reading my initial post, I realised that I came off as, well... slightly jackass-like.

Let me begin by saying that I really hope there's a strong human element in the film. Random Autobot covered the reasons why a lot better than I could, so I won't bother repeating it.

What I don't want, is for the "hawt gurlz" to be nothing but action-movie stereotypes. You can have secksi actresses in important roles without having them be some sort of cliche sex symbol. However, knowing Bay's work, we may just get just that. No, I'm not expecting Citizen Kane, nor should I, but what I do want is an entertaining TF movie with a well-implemented human element that still manages to keep the Transformers as the main focus.

Do I know if Bay will end up turning this into a chick flick? No, not at all. I can't predict how good the movie will be when we don't even have a trailer yet. Do I worry about it regardless? Yes, a little. I can't help it. All this worrying is probably for naught, and I do hope it is, but nonetheless, I can't help but fret that it'll turn out being exactly what I hate.

Meh, I'm just spouting nonsense again. I need a nap.

[Sledgehammer]

Over here with the time machine when everyone's finished with it. :rolleyes2

Anyway, what's not to like? Big stompy robots, hot birds and things going bang - sounds pretty much spot-on. :thumb

[Predaking]

Give the director and casting director some break. They want the movie to succeed as much as TF fans do. Sure the movie may be cliched but it's not even started filming yet and people are already jumping to conclusions. At least wait til teaser trailer before making up your mind.

[REDLINE]

I will be the happiest man alive if this movie was to somehow end up being as good as Xmen 1, or Spiderman :p

[unafraid]

That's so funny to see a bunch of losers thinking they could do a better job than a crew of experienced professionals. Give the guys a break and enjoy what they will offer us.

[butz]

Don't hold back now- tell us how you really feel.

[Soundwave.ca]

I love how people are all judging a movie before we have really seen or heard anything substantial about it. I mean were condemning it before anything has really taken off the ground.

Ya it could suck no question, but common, what’s the point of getting all huffy. If this is going to be your attitude from the beginning why even bother commenting on it in the first place, I mean your minds already made up right?

Anyway, personally I’m skeptical myself, I think it will be ok, as a TF fan I like were getting a movie, sure it may not be all that great but frankly I’ll make that judgment July 4 2007.

I think we should also be putting a positive spin on this even if it does suck. I mean I’m sure we’ll get at the very least some killer toys out of it, not to mention it might FINALLY bring the cartoon back here to North America were it belongs. So ya it might suck, but these are just some of the positives that could still come out.

[SubotaiBaghatur]

I dont know, if the fans dont make their concerns heard, who will? I think Lazerbeak is on the right track as far the movie not needing stereotype characters. Further, Michael Bay is hardly known for his character development, it will be a shame if this movie is watered down with "action" scenes that dont involve robots; if we want that we can watch ANY other movie.

[Acid Wing]

Basically, we wont know if it will suck until we see it, so dont be so negative

Agreed. I'll try to keep an open mind until I'm in the theater watching the film.

[butz]

... ... ... ... ...

Um, why did you switch to times new roman??? :confused:
Anyways, like I said before, I think this thread is just a ploy to rile up some controversy.

[fosterlager]

FINALLY bring the cartoon back here to North America were it belongs.
THAT I agree with!

[Pidgeot018]

I'm not expecting Batman Begins or anything, just a flashy summer blockbuster that makes summertime feel the summertime.

I'll be happy to get soem new toys out of it and maybe a McDonald's or Frito-Lay brands promotional junk out of it.

[ChickenWing]

I feel it is important that this movie have some big name actors. That right there will help give it a good start. If it is full of no name actors, then it will be clawing it's way to survive. Many people will then assume that it is just some other cheesy B movie. Seeing who we are getting, and the few tidbits from the inside (although it could all be BS) my outlook on this movie is getting brighter.

[Nightrain]

That's so funny to see a bunch of losers thinking they could do a better job than a crew of experienced professionals. Give the guys a break and enjoy what they will offer us.

That's a retarded comment. Experience has created more bad movies than good. By your logic, experience is exactly the reason why we should be concerned.

It's not a question of experience, it's a question of creativity.

[Dio]

Hot chicks will not ruin the movie unless they're given roles as prominent and as cheesy as Denise Richards in the Bond movie (shudders). While I do take issue with Rachel Taylor's codebreaker character, I doubt she'll ruin the movie, but I cannot fathom why sex appeal would be a crucial element to the character as it is written... but if Megan Fox is dressed down a bit to look like the cute girl next door, she'll be quite appropriate for that part, so I can accept at least one hottie in the movie based on current information.

Who knows, Rachel Taylor might be a hologram or android planted by the Decepticons - that's a plot point I could agree with :)

Not to derail, but I also found the following contrasting quotes funny from this thread.
I can only hope there's a scene where Megatron steps on two cowboys inside a tent.
Will the girls kiss each other?... :lol :lol :lol

[Chaos Muffin]

Just going to hear the Tforming sounds and bots.
Will probably yawn through the rest.

Even if it does suck, Ill watch it on dvd so many times Ill end up loving it probably.

Am sick of that same ol Hollywood formula, but what can we do.
Plus who else is going to dump 120 million down for one.

Going to watch it with an optimistic mind or I'll be nitpicking all over the place :lol



Unafraid Im watching you

[Kranix2k]

Just to keep on the subject of the girls for a moment - I dont think that Rachael Taylor is going to be anywhere near a "Bond Girl" for this movie (even with how she is described). I have seen "candids" of her and in those she has more of a "plain" (but still beautiful) look. The picture we have of her here is glammed up A LOT. Megan Fox, however, is the more "centerfold" of the two - the FHM girl, the hottie that knows it, etc. Taylor may have a more prominent role, but I dont see either one making such an impact in the movie as to distract from its main focus. I just see them as the "human eye candy" or the bit players that move the scenes along.

[jourdo]

Will it suck?

Maybe... Maybe not.

Will I see it?

Hell ya!

[unafraid]

That's a retarded comment. Experience has created more bad movies than good. By your logic, experience is exactly the reason why we should be concerned.

Sorry dude, but YOUR attitude is retarded. C'mon, go and do your own Transformers movie, we'll have a blast.

professional what? moneymakers and cokeheads, most likely. they go with "what works."

[unafraid]

Somehow, I would trust more guys like Bay, Spielberg and Murphy than some no-name transfan on some message board. Pure logic.

[Twin Twist]

This movie is RUINED.

I will BOYCOTT!

Rar rar rar.

I can't wait.

[tikgnat]

This movie NEEDS hot chicks! In swimsuits! Playing Volleyball! And Ninjas! Ninjas can never go wrong. I was watching 'The Last Samurai' the other day, and BAM! Ninjas! They work in everything.

Is is gonna suck? Who the hell knows, but with Micheal Bay directing I think we're guaranteed lots of explosions and a very pretty film.

[Boardwise]

This thread is done.
