except the script also tells you how all the shots will be....lol
 
Ah, that's better. Now everyone's sharing.:o
 
the way i see reading this script will be like reading something close to what we'll get but not exactly so i dont worry about it
 
script wasnt to bad needs afew tweaks and that might be pretty good
 
"Typical Michael Bay film"? What the hell does that mean? Show me a movie (let alone a summer action/sci-fi blockbuster) that's not loaded with cliche and melodrama and is also somewhat predictable, and I'll show you a movie that probably wasn't very popular among general audiences. You're going to have that stuff in a TRANSFORMERS movie, it's half of what makes The Transformers world so cool, and in fact, the TV show and comic books even had it in spades, so get the heck over it.

I'm not a huge Transformers fan, but I love the concept, and I know the universe well enough to call myself a casual fan. This script, regardless of which draft it is, is not bad at all. Quite decent, in terms of structure, story and storytelling. Yes, it's loaded with cliches of every variety, but you know what? Every single episode I ever saw of TRANSFORMERS was a cliche. Ditto many of the comics. They were just cliches with...GIANT ROBOTS. Which rock.

There are some fantastic scenes in PRIME DIRECTIVE. I love the intro, and the character setup is fairly well done, even if there are a few too many of them to really matter. I really like how the autobots are held back until it really means something to the pacing and tone of the film. The explanations given for them are good enough. The stuff with the Autobots trying to hide is classic, as are most of the action sequences and setpieces. The interaction of the Transformers and the kids with the government, in particular is handled well, and fairly realistically, the relationship between Sam and Bumblebee is nice to see, and, perhaps most importantly, Optimus Prime has been nailed. The Decepticons' roles could use some beefing up and some more dialogue, but they certainly seem malevolent and evil enough. One thing I really liked about the script was that the writers get that the idea of Transformers, giant robots who turn into cars to disguise themselves, is inherently incredibly cheesy, but can be damned cool at the same time. And they play with it, and the absurdity of it. I also like the use of metaphor, despite the lack of subtletly. "More than meets the eye" is a nice metaphor in the script, whether it feels like they beat you over the head with it or not.

The action scenes in particular sound massive, and fantastic, and if the CGI approaches anything good, we're in for a visual treat or two. Overall, the script seems to be about as faithful to the source material as any comic book movie/tv show script/project has been, and hits a number of very important points of the mythos well, so I'm not even sure why that's a complaint here. If subsequent drafts improved on this one's weak points, I'm looking forward to TRANSFORMERS even more.

SciFi article said:
The plot will be set in motion when 18-year-old Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) discovers his grandfather's pair of century-old glasses, improbably laser-etched with a map and information about the location of a key artifact, the "Energon" cube, which he then tries to sell on eBay.

aw man they kept that in?

i wonder ironhide or was it jazz will still sing the "yahoo" jingle.........
 
I was wondering about something. The dialogue between Sam and Megatron. How the hell did Megatron learn to speak english?There no mention of him learning it from the time he awakes to his confrontation for the cube.Plus there was no computers around before he got frozen in 1899 for him to learn it the way Prime did, so......:confused:
