I read the novelization and I didn't think it was that bad. But then again, I liked "Revenge of the Fallen," so what do I know?
OK--I've been willing to accept a certain amout of. . .deviance from the original concept of Transformers from Bay, but this is enough to make me hit my limit.
Everyone keeps gushing about the hotness of Megan Fox. . .but what about Shia? He's a hot little morsel himself.
Michael Bay, anyone?
It's "Transformers," not freaking "Citizen Kane." It's a movie based off a cartoon and toy line. It's not supposed to be nominated for best picture at the Oscars. Just because you don't like Michael Bay, or didn't like the first "Transformers" movie, I respect the opinion but the bashing just gets old every time there's a post about the movie.
I'm excited hell, it's good to have something to be excited about this summer when the economy is in the tank and everything else. Don't like Transformers? Then go see something you do like.

We got the Logan-in-a-bar ending. Didn't suck. Hopefuly means we'll get all the stuff with Clan Yashida, Silver Samurai if there's another film.
BTW--I and my friends enjoye d"Wolverine" immensely.

Could be an interesting score with Linkin Park onboard. As to the negativity in regard to their involvement--instead hating it, why not try to do something better? But then again, it takes creativity and time. . .
Summer movie. Supposed to be fun. And remember to check brain at the theater door.
They should just make a movie with Spike. It'd be more fun.
Moore was the one who conceived the re-imagining of "BSG," so how it ended, of course, was kind of up to him and the writers. Remember, all of us watching the show were just along for the ride, waiting to see where the journey would take us. I, for one, thought the ending of "BSG" was leaps and bounds above the ending of say, "The X-Files."
Just saying the creator/writer of the show has the say in how it ends, not us, the viewer.

Sometimes a movie is just supposed to be fun, and that's what Bay's 2007 "Transformers" flick was. Yes, it had its flaws, but it was a summer popcorn flick about giant robots from another planet, not "Slumdog Millionaire."
A sequel or two is fine, and it'll probably be more of the same, so what's wrong with that? Don't like it, don't go see it.

@Charlie Jane Anders:
I'm glad to find someone else on here who did too!

And by the way--why all the hate? I'm not running around picking on "Watchmen" or the upcoming "Terminator" movie. What's the difference? It's OK to pick on something others like, but they can't, in turn, express their opinion?
It's a crappy trailer because of the freaking QUALITY because somebody recorded it on their camera phone. I'm actually looking forward to this movie on the basis of the fact I enjoyed the first one. (Gee, I might be in a minority on that one.) And if you don't like Transformers/Michael Bay, why not, as someone said in an earlier post, move on and leave alone those of us who ARE looking foward to "Revenge of the Fallen."
Really big robots in this movie? Looks to me like a certain studio is trying to copy another franchise with its sequel coming out this summer.
Joy. One director makes a comment, everybody gets their knickers in a knot. At least Bay's movies are actually watchable, as opposed to someone who is trying to re-hash a tired franchise with an actor who couldn't even carry the chops in his last movie. (Christian Bale, anyone?) I for one, am looking forward to "Revenge of the Fallen." Won't be seeing the Terminator movie, because the last one was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
Gorgeous. Too bad we humans can't go take a close look for ourselves.
Thanks for making me remember this. Thankfully, it can be wiped again from my memory by my first viewing this weekend of the "Venture Brothers" Christmas special. Now that was awesome.
Good news Iron Man 2 will retain the look of the first. But that "Dragonball" trailer made me want to rip out my own eyes.
We could have a long-term presence on Mars right now, if NASA actually had inspiration and an administration in place that supported the idea enough for the general American public to get behind it as well.
Remember, we're the country, that in the 1960s, had a president that declared we would put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. Well, we did, and what do we have now?
We could do the same thing with Mars, or even become energy-independent, if people would buy into it.
