12. No your right this is going to be a horrible movie. When I heard that transformers was going to be live action I was ecstatic. But after the second or third leaked photo I realized that I'm just pissed off. The whole point of remade, or updated, or live action movie is to p[lay upon the fond memories, or heck, fresh memories of what people loved about the original. But somewhere between that original pitch and the real things a soul producer, and a clueless director, a money hungary marketing tie in expert, GM, and an underpaid, uncarring,powerless screenwriter got there hands on it and screwed it all up just beyond acceptable. You know that bumblebee needed to be a VW bug, and heck if any time history to do this movie, nows the time we have an UPDATED beetle! The reason behind optimus prime being a nosed truck as opposed to a flat fronted truck and not red was that they thought he needed flair and they could find a truck in that style big enough... and I supposed that the actors who played the hobbits and dwarfs in lord of the rings were all really that height. No they picked that ruck because they wanted to, it was easy, and thy didn't care about sticking with the original. Now ratchet, my goodness, what can you say, hes supposed to be an ambulance. theres an easy one.. except gm gave the director a hummer, and instead of making the hummer an acceptable switch out to rawhide (formerly a jeep, and lord knows a chrysler), they slapped some lights on it and made it ratchet. WTF? I could go on, mentioning the obviously animal sound screams of megatron (who looks to be a reimaging of starcream) or the at least possible addition of metallic lips, b ut what the use, whats done is done, the movie will make millions and be a worthless substitute and we'll need to wait for another 18 years to see someone recreate this movie, and maybe they'll actually watch the cartoon, ask someone who watch the cartoon, or I dunno, read the back of the blister pack of ANY of the toys. to get some idea of how to make a transformer movie. Transformer welcome to a long line of good ideas turned brain drivel, wild wild west, batman 3 & 4, the dukes of hazard, garbage pail kids, ispy, starsky and hutch, shaft, bad news bears, bewitch,... I think I'm going to cry a little.
