Until the trailer comes out and they start doing some serious press for the film, give it a rest. I for one cannot stand the "never seen a frame of this film, but it sucks" attitude. Give it a chance...we've spent $8 on worse... ~LTD
I still maintain that TF sucked. The acting was horrible and the storyline was even more retarded than a storyline about a giant planet that devours other planets. Sure, it may have made a lot of money but that does NOT make it a good movie by any stretch of the imagination. People went to see it because it was a shoot 'em action flick about cars that turned into robots. If they took the cars turning into robots out of the movie it would have been a major flop at the box office.
I don't have to see 5% of the actual film to know it's not something I want to waste my money on. Ripcord has been white for 25+ years but now he's black. Yeah, umm right. As I've said before, if they're going to completely change the characters like this then they can kiss my ass. I will not waste a dime on it in the theater.
I honestly cannot wait to see how well it performs against Harry Potter and some of the other movies we already know will rake in a fortune this Summer. I'm quite sure it will rake in some dough but I'll bet it will not pull in anywhere near the amount that TF raked in a couple of years ago. If the movie had some transforming cars then I'd probably say it will rake in hundreds of millions because we all know that the American audience is a sucker for a porsche that transforms into a giant fembot with machine gun jubblies.
