2007s Transformers film was a nice surprise. Knowing it was directed by Michael Bay tempered my expectations. Plus looking at still shots of the robot designs didn't really help matters either.

However I found myself really enjoying the movie. My girlfriend even liked it. It was good, dumb loud fun with a pretty coat of paint. I even own the movie HD (hey even though its a dead format, this movie looks brilliant in HD). There's just something appealing about Large robots form space destroying earth to save it.

So even though the title sounds George Lucas-ish, I won't make any assumptions this time. I wish Michael Bay luck in creating a sequel thats equally enjoyable as the first.

My one concern is an image of a potential transformers who's alt. form is an ice cream truck. I mean yeah its over the top by maybe goes a little to far. But I won't judge it until I see it.

yeah I'll enjoy the movie as long as there are less annoying people with paper thin character arcs and more giant robots beating the shit out of eachother :)

No, the movie would have been fine if they had made it about giant, fighting, transforming robots, but they didn't. They made it about a horribly annoying kid, played by a horribly annoying actor, who has a crush on generic girl #1 who just happens to be already involved with tough boyfriend #3. What a heartwarming story of pukeworthy proportions that will end exactly the way we know it always has.

All the while dancing about some OTHER stupid storyline involving the military about a soldier who apparently loves his family a lot. Good job soldier, talk about your baby some more. Oh theres a secret agent from -Sector 7- here, he looks official but I'm not sure if I trust him! Plus theres a black guy! Racial diversity ftw... oh wait, he just says generic black guy stuff. But thats okay because thats all the audience expects.

Oh look robots! Giant robots, sweet! Oh silly me those are actually just bumbling morons in robot suits. Ho ho ho, look at how they trample his mothers garden hee hee hee, they aren't from our planet at all, they don't know our customs! Oh sweet now they are fighting! Oh now its over, that sure was three awesome 30 second fights in that 2 hour pile of dogshit.

I love a good mindless and fun movie, but holy fucking shit, it's like Michael Bay's mind consists of nothing but really gay movies from the 80's that nobody watched with him, he must just stick with the very first thing that pops in to his head. I could literally, and I mean literally, SHIT a better story out of my ass. I could drop my pants right now and take a huge shit and it would still provide a better fucking story than this movie provided for what should have been a fucking epic franchise about GIANT FUCKING TRANSFORMING ROBOTS.

I liked the last 30 minutes well enough. Overall I can't say I liked the movie though. No Prime for the first hour and no Megatron till the last 30 minutes.

respectable rant.
All that said, I did enjoy it. I was expecting it not to live up to my wishes, so that may have helped.

yeah i totally lowered my expectations and it exceeded them. But I agree that they should focus more robots blowing each other up. That street battle in the final act was the most enjoyable I think everyone agrees.

Its the same thing with AVP - audience wants to see aliens fighting each other but instead we get annoying human characters no one gives a damn about that get in the way of the battling aliens. hell in AvP2 I couldn't even see the aliens most of the time.

Spoiler alert!!!

I've read reports from the set of the movie, could be Michael Bay bullshit, but they said that there are a lot of construction vehicles on set. That could just be a backdrop, but it could also mean we'll see the constructacons and Devestator in this next movie.

Also, reports of Sam taking a "metal spike" to the Smithsonian and "using" it near a black spy plane there with a decepticon logo, possibly a decepticon that changed sides.
