Starscream. Starscream looks awesome as Hell even if he's shaped more or less like an ape with avian legs.
"Gorilla-sparrow". That's how we, here in Brazil, call bodybuilders who only work out their upper bodies, which leaves them with scrawny legs. It's hilarious to behold! :D
 


I've remained "cautiously optimistic" for a while, and the recent trailers have done nothing to change that opinion, no matter how cool they look.

Anyone here remember the hype for Star Wars Episode I back when all we had were the trailers? Going by the trailers alone, TPM looked to be distilled essence of awesome. What we got fell short of that mark (distance is determined by individual viewer; i agree it's the weakest of the six-movie saga, but it's not concentrated suckage either).
 

Don,

There's a difference though. The Star Wars stuff was done by Lucas who had NO ONE to oversight him. I think it's different with the current climate for us to expect better now that we have a decent director AND a cast that's not too bad either.

I just can't get up for this one. I"m constantly reminded of the biggest disapponment of my childhood life, Masters of the Universe. How did they screw that up. He didn't even have a freakin sword :(.

So I watch the trailers for transformers and they look like walking factories. I can barely distinguish whose who. Maybe its because the trailers are moving so fast.
 

The trailers are really making this look like an extremely jingoistic "The U.S. military kicks ass and takes names" movie, and the Transformers are only there to provide them with things to blow up. I really hope that isn't the case, but the fact that it's coming out on July 4th doesn't give me much hope in that regard.

Really? I saw the trailer as a lot of the US military gets their asses kicked.

It does seem that the focus has shifted slightly from the Transformers as the main characters to them being more the catalyst that drives (ha!) the plot for the human characters.

Still, it looks good, and I'm looking forward to it with breathless antici...pation.
I agree with this post wholeheartedly. I really hope it's about giant robots kicking each others' butts and not the two kids falling in love (or whatever). However, I will be seeing it opening weekend!
