First post, eh....
Having been a childhood fan of The Transformers cartoon and movie i was reeeealy looking foward to this ish, but having just read the script...It really depends on what revisions have been made to it and how 'all-out' Bay is willing to go to make this a kick ass film that'll make it or break it with the fans.
Stuff I like - (remember -SPOILER THREAD...)
Primes opening Voice-Over - I WILL geek out to that ish- fact - when i hear it in the cinema.
'Vortex'(or whatever he's called now) kickin serious arse at the beginning - what a way to introduce us to how bad-ass the decepticons are.
Bumbebee, in general, I like as a character - and kids are gonna freakin love him!
Bumble Bee and Brawls ruckus - when the cars are playin 'chicken' then they transform...oh my days that'll be sick.
Spike - I think, with Shia Lawotshisname playing him, he's gonna be aight.
The rest of action sounds pretty cool too...but thats about it.
Wots the deal with 'autobots' - as Mikaela christens them (sigh) - coming into the film about half way through, gettin about 10 lines between them, hiding in a garden, gettin in a bit of ruckus with a few decepticons, then, in the end, not even saving the day! I though this was a transformers film?! Coming down to earth in Silver Balls...silver balls, c'mon...we dont see ratchet fixing any thing, Jazz being cool, Optimus being the hardcore Leader/Warrior/Soldier that he should be...I wanna see them TALK to each other, I wanna feel the history these cats have got with each other, not jus follow spike aroung lookin for pair of freakin glasses...
The decepticons are treated even worse - Starscreem does **** all. Nothing. Wheres his relationship with Megatron. Wheres the jealosy, the resentment, the anger? Matter of fact, wheres Megatron for the first hour and half? And SPIKE kills him...piss off. Seriously - piss off. He is the most powerfull being in the universe and some kid who can't even get a girl kills him...say CHEESE
Now, if i wanna watch a cheesy film with people coming together to fend off an alien invasion I'll watch indepedence day.
If i wanna watch a hardcore film about a boy and his robot protecter I'll watch T2.
But I wanna watch a Transformers film. And this script, no matter how well written it may be in parts, is a human story. FIDDUCK HUMANS - I WANNA SEE TRANFORMERS, BIATCHES!!!
