The original what? Movie?
Cartoon.The original what? Movie?
They say one of the big differences between ours and the original is "you don't miss the arrival of the Transformers, it's not some big event that happens off screen".
Did they even watch the original![]()
Which is one of the things that made TF original. It wasn't a "descend from the heaven's" 1950's sci-fi/Invaders from Mars/ V /Independence Day cliched thing. The writer's didn't have to do the whole "4 million years ago" thing... but they did. And, it was great.
I dunno why they had to dumb it down for the movie.

A movie featuring the robots more than the humans would not appeal to a wider audience and would be considered a "children's" movie, toys being the basis of the film.

Teletran-1 to me is the equivalent of Cerebro. A Transformers movie without it just makes no sense.
Actually I think a movie who focused on a waring faction of giant robots rather than humans, which is the norm from alien movies, would actually make MORE money because it would be unlike any other movie before it.Money.

Could be on to something there, but no horns. Maybe a cow![]()

Probably so. Peter Jackson (who actually commented about having interest in Transformers...not necessarily directing any film), James Cameron or even Speilberg himself probably would have turned out a better film than Bay...which really makes me question Speilberg on this project judging by his past films.Such a film would be way to lofty for the likes of Bay. It's somewhat dissapointing that Spielberg is allowing the movie to be made the way it is. I guess he must really think Bay is the ideal director for Transformers.
Which begs the question, were there ever any other directors up for consideration?
I actually doubt Spielberg has anything at all to do with this film. I think they knew Bay brings hate so they figured putting Spielberg's name on it would help it sell better.![]()
I dunno, I doubt I'm going to be sitting through Bay's disasterpiece thinking; "Man, this movie just has that Spielberg touch! I can feeeel it in the way the editing is making my skull twitch!"
Naw. You will be sitting there with Mega-Ultra fan ***** when this movie blows you away. Specially the the big fight.
