Optimist Prime: Discussion thread for those looking forward to the movie

[DorkyFresh]

Isn't that what Bonecrusher is?

good point...hehe, but Bonecrusher isn't the typical bulldozer. if they can find a way to make Devistator work then i'm all for it. i'm sure it'll make it feel more epic...

Anyway, I just meant the bad guy in the picture has zero nostalgia value.
Would have been awesome to actually recognize and feel an affinity towards the baddie Optimus was fighting. I mean, I look at that picture and I imagine Shockwave with his one eye, and I just get tingles.

yeah...it would've been nice to see one of the TFs who form Devistator instead of Bonecrushe, that way they can introduce his "buddies" in the sequel but alas....a 3rd armed, turtle headed, monster bulldozer is what we got, hehe. i'm sure the general audience will like him...

hopefully we'll get that in the sequel though i'm not too sure how much action they can get of slow moving construction vehicles. maybe they'll find a way...

There's a few movies with great action scenes set in construction areas. Casino Royale's construction scene was awesome...and there was a "slow moving" construction vehicle in there. A great director can do anything with the mundane.

Typically the approach is to have a slower moving vehicle coming towards the camera causing havoc. Then the speed doesn't enter into it, only the force of it hitting stuff in the way.

as much as i hate it, those new stills look AWESOME.

its like they are actually THERE!!!!

I can not wait to see this in motion!!!

Well, I mean who says that they have to be construction vehicles? Isn't there really like only two characters in the movie that transform into what they did in those old cartoons/comics?.....and just thinking about how BA a group of robots merging into one HUGE robot would be plenty of action for me.

From what I've seen, this movie is going to be very exciting! I haven't been this excited about a movie in quite some time. I hope this movie doesn't leave us with many plot holes and has an epic feel to it. The CGI in the flim looks amazing and if it doesn't great an award for the effects I would be really upset. I think things are falling into place and I think that they should start releasing more shirts and toys a month before its released. This might help take the wind out of the other HUGE movies like S-M3 and POTC3.

Here here! This is the only big budget, high profile movie that isn't a sequel this year so I'm hoping it will do good.

I didn't know where to post this, so I'll just post it here, cause I REALLY need to put it down in writing!!!!

I just finished reading the SCRIPT! (that leaked one). I couldn't stop reading, even though I only wanted to read the first 10 pages or so, before going to bed, but than I was HOOKED!... My God! What a script! This film will be one hell of a knock-out! It's thrilling, exiting, FUNNY, and charming as hell!!! They make so good use of real life things blending them in to the story! HOOVER DAM any one!!! BRILLIANT!!!... It's a fire-cracker of a script!

Can't ****ing wait to see this movie!!!!!!!!!!

[gimmen64]

I hope this is gonna have a novelization come out soon. I can't wait to read it! When are the toys getting released so I can start buying them for the me, uh I meant the kids.

 

[Manhunter]

NOOOOOOO!!!

I missed the youtube clip...

But nonetheless, I'm gonna geekwad all over teh row infront of me when I hear that voice again, the soothing thunder from my childhood.

Haters beware, very soon all will be one!

I saw 'Disturbia' on Saturday and Shia was pretty good in it. I can definately see him as Spike now. Plus they showed the second TF trailer with it.

 

[roony]

I was never a TF fan (child of the 90s, what can I say), but I've been pumped for this movie since the beginning.

But I will say I have no idea what all y'all are talking 'bout when it comes to Bonesaw, Bumblecrusher, etc.

Out of the Transformers in this movie...who have you heard of?

I heard he was on SNL too. Anyone see it? That kid is going places!

 

[Dr Lee]

And he's now got the role of Indiana Jone's kid in Indy IV

I think

 

[The Kid]

indy 4 is now doomed.

He's his kid? I thought he was just his-side-kick, kinda like Short Round was...?

 

[Dr Lee]

Every thing i've seen says he's the kid not sidekick

 

[cronosred]

Alot of the stuff I have seen and heard made me worried this movie was going to be crap but I must admit the trailers have me really hyped for this movie now so I am no longer going to be negative about it and just go along for the wild ride.t:

 

[tkenji69]

^^ ALLRIGHT... Some of the shots in the trailers and leaked clips are pretty awesome. If the story goes anything like the prequel novel, i have faith that they will capture the essence of these characters. Decepticons in-fighting, Optimus showing up to save the day, Jazz always ready for a fight, all the good stuff.

Yes. Prequel comics =

 

[The Kid]

I predict this movie will own the summer.

Spidey will underwhelm. Pirates will perform moderately. Shreck will flop.

Transformers will rule them all.

 

[Spidey]

I notice no mention of FF. Intentional? Something tells me yes. t:

 

[The Kid]

lol, I just forgot that movie was being made. That's coming out this year?

meh...
