    TF4...

    : Who's gonna be the villain??? With megatron killed in the end of dotm, they'll either have to introduce galvatron, or, bring in another badass villain from the g1 series or comics...the million dollar question is>

    Well Tim Burton didn't want to do the Batman film in the first place either but he rolled along with it and look what happend. He grew to respect it later on.

    The same with Bay. He learned to apprciate the TF mythos later on too. Otherwise why would he recieve the award at Botcon last year?

    Basically the problems you have with it are just opinons to you and that's fine
    but it seems that you try to make your opinons come across as facts. Just because you think the films are train wrecks doesn't mean they are to other people.

    The Binaltech style while being more fimaller with the G1 thing it would've looked even more horrible on screen because of simple and silly they look. They look great on a cartoon but not for live action because it doens't have the alien feel to it which the films are trying to aim for. I saw some of the early concpets of the TFs being more like the G1 style and it doens't work. That's why the WFC and Prime style did a good job at doing the two styles together. They're more in line with G1 but also have an alien feel that works better for both live action and cartoons.

    Having grown up watching the G1 cartoons part of me hope they might go to more of a throw back, But that's me. However i'm interested to see what new designs Bay has in mind. As far as possible new comers "ARISE RODIMUS PRIME", "GALVITRON" and hopefully "ULTRA MAGNUS" thats just wishful thinking on my part :)

    I don't know, I myself am a G1 fan and since they disregarded the original story for a new audience as well as the stories for these movies have been weak so whatever.

    Because he made tons of money for the franchise? No other reason, trust me.

    Then he tried to make Superman and this happened:

    Because he made a shit-ton of money.

    Because Hasbro was patting him on the back for making them a shit-ton of money too. Don't pretend that award meant anything else.


    I love how you say this, then immediately post this afterwards:

    Really.

    Meh, I don´t see what´s wrong with. Also it´s a concept art. Those are often exaggerated in terms of style.

    I read up on this, Superman died and is put back together by a robot in the fortress of solitude that basically makes an exoskeleton for him...neat sounding stuff. The last movie put me right to sleep.

    Battleship's biggest problem seems to be that people thought the idea of a battleship vs aliens movie was a bad idea. There was a time when such a concept might have worked but after films like Battlefield LA and the Transformers series the idea of the current era military fighting aliens is getting kind of stale. A bit like how the vampire craze builds and then dies off when Hollywood does too many vampire movies.

    It does seem like Bay's schtick is getting a bit old for US viewers. Even with the box office bonus of 3D ticket sells domestically Dark of the Moon made $352 million compared to Revenge of the Fallen making $402 million and the first Transformers $319 million. It's the rapid expansion of the international box office that made Dark of the Moon a big winner since 68.6% of it's total box office came from international sells vs 51.9% for Revenge of the Fallen and 55.0% for the first Transformers movie.

    Given that the big US retailers rejected more Dark of the Moon toys for their shelves it seems that even children might be getting tired of the films.

    Sure, waste money redesigning characters who look fine instead of something else which could use the money better. :/

    You're exactly right. Using all that money to hire a director that doesn't suck ass and writers that can actually write a decent script would be much better.

    I come in here, trying to respect the opinions of those who don't mirror my own. Because that's how opinions work... then the 'Geewunner" crap starts.

    To hell with them AND their opinions.

    By redesign I'm pretty sure they mean like the subtle things we saw out of most recurring Autobots in DOTM.

    As always, there is much information posted as facts in a movie thread. If you use the term 'trust me' or 'fact', there's a very good chance you are making it up. But should we expect anything less?
