Odds are it will be. The trailers look incredible and the hype for the show can't get any better.

Even if the plot sucks, I'll bet my money that the action scenes will still be amazing.

EDIT: They've been changing the date for opening night alot lately. First it was suppose to come out on July 4, then they said it was comming out July 3. Now it's comming out on July 2.

It's all about increasing ticket sales for that first week. I have to work 8-12 on the 4th, so I want to try and see it after I get off.

The trailer looks really good, so I have high hopes for this film.

I won't see it in theaters, but I will be checking it out once it's available on DVD.

Starscream looks awesome. Same with that huge one who has a symbiotic realationship with Scopinok... Blackout I think his name is.

Too bad Hot Rod isn't in the movie... he's one of my favorites. When it comes to Beast Wars, I have to say Dinobot was my favourite.

EDIT: This thing looks like it's got an awesome voice cast. Hugo Weaving is doing Megatron.

^^ Huh. I thought Frank Welker and Peter Cullen from the cartoons were reprising their roles as Megatron and Prime. (Voices)

Originally, yes, Frank Welker was suppose to voice Megatron, but Hugo Weaving was later casted instead. Frank Welker will be doing Megatron's voice in the official video game, though.

That's cool. As it stands, I'm sure Welker will be joining Cullen in voicing near half the rosters, just like old times. His voice for Soundwave was incredible back in the day. :)

Weaving is going to make for a sick, demented Megatron!

Our moviemaking technology is finally at a point where something like this could be made well and not have to be a cartoon. :)

Not that it matters, but the Washington Post gave it a bad review...

I've seen some mixed reviews.

Basically it comes down to being your typical big summer action flick from Micheal Bay. Take it or leave it.

But isn't the usual, predictable bullshit review the reason places like here and some other places got started? I know that's why I wrote so many reviews at The Bar before everyone quit reading them and I came over here.

Used to be that whatever the critics said, I felt the opposite. Now, I sometimes agree as my tastes in film has grown and matured, but they still shit on a lot of movies I enjoy. This will likely be one of them, as I will refuse to let a bunch of middle-aged, cynical bastards shit on memories of one of my all-time favorites from childhood. Transformers was the shit.

Sidenote: I mentioned before that I'd be going to see this on the 4th after work. And after tonight, I will damn sure be going to the early show. Went to see Live Free or Die Hard tonight(review coming this weekend) with some friends from my old job, and the tickets were nine fucking dollars apiece, and a large drink was $5. To be fair the drink was huge, but shit. If I had taken a date, I'd be hurting for cabbage right now.

Absolutely.

FWIW, a lot of the reviewers that usually bash Micheal Bay had to give him credit for this one.

^^ That, brats, cellphones, crowds, rude people, plus my setup at home being a lot better (And this really doesn't take nearly as much as people might think)...is why I rarely if ever go to the theaters anymore.

Honestly....I never pay attention to movie reviews anymore. It sounds bad because they give alot of stuff thumbs up, but Eber and Roper are the only people I listen to. Reviewers are like the rest of hollywood, they go for the bullshit pictures like "The Queen" and give the movies the avg joe would love an F.

All true.

I know it's going to be special moment for me when I hear Prime say: "Megatron." in that deep, rumbling voice again. :)

If being a Transformers fan is dorky, then I'm proud to call myself a dork.
