I think the "report" on the footage may have jumped the gun with the characterization comment. How much footage was shown? Probably not a whole lot. Wayons would really have to be acting crazy to be out of character. Of course, Ripcord never had much of a personality, so having any kind of presence WOULD be out of character.
(can't believe I'm kinda defending the movie) At this point, I just holding out hope that the movie is so ridiculous that I get some kind of giddy childish thrill out of it. Seeing the SE/SS conflict portrayed on film will at least be cool. And hopefully the toys will be as well. BTW, the 1960s Batman movie came out a few months ago on Blu-Ray. Guess it was some kind of temporal anomoly, since that version of Batman doesn't exist in our reality. |

so where is everyone reading this new script? i've exhausted my resources and i can only find the 2 older drafts.....the one with snake eyes and scarlet in counseling because he took a vow of silence and won't talk.
i got my hands on the TF script a few months before release. so, after a couple months of bit**ing about it, my friends bought me a midnight ticket so we could all go together, but i had to keep my mouth shut, and they bought me a 40oz of mickeys to help me do so. after the movie let out...i was forbidden so spout any "i told you sos" and we all agreed it was a dumb popcorn gmc commercial for new cars flick. needless to say, i do NOT want the same movie going experience for JOE. |

I hear THAT!
...man,I was only going to get movie voyager prime...and ended up getting ALL the autobots...I already know for the Joe movie I will want em ALL! Be interesting to see what versions of the characters come out-since we know they have multiple looks/costumes throughout the movie. Im betting on "classic" color versions of some of the characters i.e.yellow scarlett (they did it with TF to a certain extent)

So many things from the Transformers mythology could have been used as metaphors for the problems we as humans have today. You have a war with two factions (sound firmilar?). Also you have Energon (an energy supply). So you have two sides fighting over an ever deplenishing energy supply (cough, cough again...sound firmilar?). This leads the Transformers to search for an alternate means of getting fuel to survive. They find it on Earth. One side has no regard for human life, they see the wars we have, and the way we treat eachother and view us as a primitive useless race (they have a point). They want to take what they need no matter who gets in the way. That side being the Decepticons. The other side feels they can come to earth, take what they need to survive as a race, and leave. No harm no foul. No one dies. No humans die, no Transformers have to die. They of coarse would be the Autobots. You could fill two hours with that plot. Insted we got the all spark. In one breath Optimus says "Before time began there was the Cube" then he says "We must destroy the cube". That makes no FU*@ING SENSE!!!! Watch this See what I mean? |

I like your premise, and I agree with you.... But my issue is we know what we are getting and we know it is not going to adhere to our childhood memories but at least we were able to see them on the big screen. The movie was not great, barely good. A matter of fact I have a hard time watching it now...sigh!
I do, above all the negative things appreciate that they finally made it. And it is not the worst movie ever made. It was family friendly so they can sell toys. It was a Michael Bay popcorn flick and I expected nothing more than what I saw! |

i think that is kind of the sad part of this whole thing, we just expect it to be mindless popcorn fare.
the characters, and premise are SO open to great story telling potential....beyond our childhood memories of a silly cartoon where no one is shot or dies. but we don't get that....and we just accept that we're not going to get it. while the REAL question should be, why do we just bend over and take it and lower our standards? |

That's really what it's all about isn't it? I mean we talk about characters and stories, but in the beginning there were the toys, and it was good. The comics and the cartoons were initially made to sell said toys. The fact that we occasionally got some depth and character development was really just a bonus.
What concerns me is that all the details and images I've seen so far don't have me all that excited where the toys are concerned. I don't care for those drilling/earth-borer things, the Jeep isn't all that, and I'm not expecting much from Destro's Submarine HQ, or whatever it is. I want to see cool modern army/sci-fi vehicles that make me want to go to the store and buy them for my Joes. That's really all I ask from this movie.
