Transformers the movie (LIVE) - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Mr. Marshmallow · 04-03-2007, 09:50 PM

I know there is a Transformers thread, but I really wanted to talk about JUST the live action Transformers movie that is coming out this summer. Basically, I just would like to know your guys thoughts on it.

Are you excited about it? dreading it? hating it? Because I know alot of people loathed hearing this movie was going to be made by Michael Bay, and talked of how god awful it was going to be. Even I was a bit skeptical about this.

But like I ALWAYS say, after the trailers and photos start to pour out, people's minds changed and I'm really looking forward to seeing this movie. Anyone else?

I'm looking forward to this movie when it comes out as well.

Hopefully, it doesn't bombed when it premieres.

Boy am I glad to see this topic, Mr.M!

I am hyped to see this movie. I've been following its progress since the early days on the official board and a couple of (better) fan boards. If anyone go'es to those my name is Dinobot-Sledge.
I knew that there would be changes made (what possesed them to give Prime hotrod flames?) but now that the voice actors are being revealed, things are looking up. Peter Cullen, the original Optimus Prime, is recurring his role, Hugo Weaving (LOTR Elrond) has been cast as Megatron, Kieth David (Spawn, Goliath) has been cast as Barracade and Frank Welker, the original Megatron, is apparently going to voice one of the decepticons. (my money's on Frenzy)

I think this film will turn out okay. I dislike Bay but hopefully, Speilburg will keep him in line.

I actually enjoy Bay's work, well most of it. I loved Armageddon and I think The Island was a fantastic movie that very few people appreciated. I personally think the latest pictures and clips look absolutely bad ass.

I'm no die hard Transformers fan but even if I was, I find it hard to believe anyone would doubt the downright sweet looking action scenes of the robots duking it out. I'm also VERY happy that Peter Cullen is voicing Optimus Prime.

I'm kinda pissed/confused why frank Welker is on the cast list and not playing Megatron, but Hugo Weaving is a phenominal actor and I know that an actor of his fine quality can certainly pull off a good Megatron voice.

Here's hoping the sequels include more bots, and more blockbuster goodes for us summer movie freaks!

Step on over to Ain't It Cool sometime. They tear into Bay and Murphy like sharks cruising through a school of sardines.

I've been there a few times. I really don't care for the vulgarity of the site. But it has certainly been the first place to reveal news and images.
