To be honest: Transformers already had a decent movie and D&D2 was so much better than part 1.
The difference is that Transformers was cool to begin with.
Been keeping close track of this movie as it gets closer to the release date.
This movie is going to suck, HARD core. Guaranteed.
A few warning signs:
Bernie Mack is in it.
This line of dialogue is in the film: "Bring It!".
I don't need much more proof than that to know that this movie is going to suck, and that all of my wonderful childhood memories of the Transformers are going to be completely and utterly destroyed by this trash.
Mark my words.
I hope I end up being wrong, but I seriously doubt I will be. I have the uncanny ability of spotting a stinker of a movie from a mile away, and this one is really starting to reek.
It probably won't be a complete waste though, there will most likely be a total of about 25 minutes worth of wonderful special effects and eye candy to behold, but that's about all this movie will have to offer.
Anyone actually taken a nice, long look at Michael Bay's filmography? How sad, another great kids' icon bites the dust.
For my money, I'm looking forward to Knocked Up. And if I have to see a blockbuster, it'd be Pirates of the Caribbean 3. Two reasons: Keith Richards, and that I wanna see the ends of the 3,000 plotlines that confused me to hell the last time around.

I think you're right. I just watched the whole HD trailer, and it makes me NOT want to see the movie. Another tall tail sign that it's a stinker is that even the opening scene of the trailer is bad...if they can't show a good scene right off the bat, it's gotta be really bad. The father taking his son to buy his first car is so badly acted and written!!!!! The only reason to see it might be the few minutes of special effects. Plot, acting, dialog, and even overall likability of characters seem absent: even in the ad!!! Optimus Prime and Megatron both look absurd in this movie. I'll probably see it eventually.....but not when it's in the movie theater. I think even the special effects are something that won't demand a huge screen

You're right....another sign this is going to be B A D!!! Though "The Rock" wasn't that bad actually....all his other movies, though
Yeh, this movie has suckage written all over it. Will probably get 10% on rotten tomatoes at best me thinks. Well, at least the trailer was watchable. I just wish they'd save the awesome special effects for a movie actually worthwhile

And you know what bumms me out the most? I originally had such high hopes for this movie. I have been marking the calendar ever since it was announced that this movie was becoming a reality. But as the days wore on, and I saw more and more of the trailers, I can tell that they have already failed - at least from an 'oldschool Transformer' fan's point of view...
I am pretty confident that the mindless masses of the 'Joe Sixpack' public will probably eat up it though.
I am sorry to be such a wet blanket guys, but I have a really bad feeling about this movie.

ME GRIMLOCK< ME POST HEADFI...
U need to change ur nickname to Grimlock... and have his pic for an avatar.
The Rock was the light that shined on the dogass that is Bay's film career. The effects look awesome, the movie is probably going to suck overall though. The only hope is that Spielberg had enough input to keep Bay from screwing it up.
i had the same reaction to the trailer; it made me not want to see the movie. it's looks pretty bad, but i'll probably see it anyway. how's that for logic. or put another way, i've wasted $10 before.

Dude, I totally agree. I'm a die hard Transformers fan and when I heard about the movie back around 2005? Possibly 2004 on the usual sites TFArchive, Seibertron, etc., I was ecstatic to say the least. After seeing the first leaked pictures, I just wanted to cry. I'm 99% sure the movies going to suck BADDDDDDDD, but I'll still support the movie. Hell, I'll even go a few times if it's doing that bad.
What I was really hoping for was just the original Transformers movie made in live action. That would be pretty cool to see them battle Unicron. That and I can along in the theater to every song. =] (
I'm excited about it-- the story, acting, plot, etc is going to be horrendous I'm sure, but honestly I'd like to see some huge robots beating the crap out of each other with modern special effects. Sure, this is a "wasted opportunity" to produce a great live action version of Transformers, but I don't plan on having my brain on when I'm watching it.
I can definitely see why some are so disappointed-- especially the true fans of the series. Personally though, I just can't wait to see the action scenes. The rest of the movie will be a good humor fill-in
