Now that I have been resurrected from the grave I can finally post again.. Yeay ! Erm ... stil have no idea on what to post. Guess this will have to be one of those random raving posts that I tend to spew. Not ! Now we all know that finally, finally they are making a Transformers movie .. not an animated one but a slam bang CGI laden real movie ! It started off ok with announcements like the news of Peter Cullen being confirmed as the voice of Optimus Prime how can we not want to hear Optimus spewing out those age old lines that so made the hair on the back of our necks stand like .. " Freedom is the right of all sentient beings " or the all famous "Autobots, transform and roll out !".
**********************************SPOILER ALERT ********************************
OK from this point on you'll probably be faced with spoiler (but nothing not discussed in the official Transformers : The Film forums) Yeah ! They got the right stuff allright ... .. or do they ? I was starting to get a little worried when I saw some of the promo pictures because the transformers now have eyeballs ! No longer do they have their glass mirror eyes that blink on and off :P but they now have eyeballs. At first it was pretty shocking but after a while I realised that having eyes might not be a bad thing as the characters will be able to emote better. The producers said that the Optimus will be able to show more emotions because he will now have a mouth instead of the mask like thingy he has in the original cartoon. Don't worry dear Transformers fans, it seems the mask is still there , it will appear when he is about to go into battle mode. Phew .. so far so good.
Then they did it. They made the weirdest blunder .. of all the things they could do they screwed up Starscream. No they didn't turn him upside down and anally molest him but believe me he would have preferred that to what they did to him in the movie. Starscream in the movie doesn't look anything like the original in his robot mode. He looks like some bald orangutan with tubes for arms .. no kidding ! They didn't even keep the head for nostalgic reasons ..nope .. no sireee .. Starscream has an insect head .. sigh. I know they will find a way to screw up the movie. If that was not enough , leaks on the story indicates that the entire storyline of the Transformers crashing on earth in the Arc (and possible causing the extinction of dinosaurs and the emergence of man as the dominant species on the planet) .. nooo .. they had to do a damn reset of the story and screw up everything. Damn Steven Speilberg said that he wants the story to give the "a boy and his car" type movie feel !!!! Blasphemy !
Just when I was giving up hope on the movie I found this thread on the forum http://boards.transformersmovie.com/showthread.php?t=4930 and somehow reading this helped restore my faith in the fact that even though they may screw up some parts of the story the essence of what the Transformers are all about will be kept. Heres to keeping fingers crossed ! *********************************************************************************** What lines do you think MUST be in the movie ? Labels: transformers, warlock |
At 9:22 AM,
MUST HAVE!!!:
Megatron: Such heroic nonsense (before killing Ironhide)
Optimus: Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost.
Megatron: Prime!!
Optimus: One shall stand, one shall fall
Megatron: Why throw away your life so recklessly?
Optimus: That's a question you should ask yourself Megatron.
Megatron: (raises Cannon, holds it down with other hand) No!! I'll crush you with my bare hands!!
Optimus: Autobots!! Transform and roll out!!!!!!!
To be honest I'm 90% sure that the movie will suck orangutan balls. I am going to see it anyway, but probably what will happen is that I'll go home after the movie and watch the animated film and lament about how shitty the 2007 version is.

Oh yeah, can anyone find Transformers t-shirts. Let's all get them and wear then together and have a mega convoy to go watch it ? Anyone game ?
At 8:59 AM,
I'll look around chinatown for some t-shirts, I'm sure they'll have.
Either way we are going for it. rudecrudedude will be down if its end of May so one extra person.
Then if its crap I'll go home and watch the Animated Film instead.
It looks promising as a movie though I have no doubt that it will be a good film, its just that I'm pretty sure it will be a bad TRANSFORMERS film.
Next up for movie remake? Voltron? Thundercats?
