Transformers 3

So they are letting Michael Bay make another transformers movie, haven't they damaged the franchise enough letting that ass-hat already make two of them?

I think we someone to murderize Michael Bay and give the franchise to someone who cam make some good movies out of it. Maybe Kevin Smith to do Beast Machines or Beast wars.





Leave poor Optimus alone...oh and for you horror fans out there they are letting Michael Bay remake "Nightmare on Elm Street" I am sure he will do justice to that as well...not!

From what I've read, the new "Nightmare" movie is supposed to be closer to what the original was going to be, before the studios chopped it down; more revenge, less bad jokes.

It's a franchise about a bunch of toy robots; it's not as if they hadn't sold out already. And most of what goes under the "Transformer" logo is utter shite, so it's not as if dear Michael is bucking the trend there.

Beast Wars was awesome though, I'll give you that.

Whatever man! Back in the day, our toy robots had some integrity! They were hardcore and made out of metal so they'd cut people if you threw one! And they weren't dumb.

Yeah, but Bay isn't directing the Nightmare remake, just producing.

You do realize you're talking about a movie franchise based on a half-hour long toy commercial, right?

^baha.

Yeah it's a cartoon made to sell toys. The important thing is that somehow Michael Bay did manage to ruin that. I think once you make a movie with robot testicles you should lose the right to make movies ever again.

Good point! I wont argue that the cartoon was a half-hour commercial but it was a good commercial. The money making machine that is Transformers was ready made and turn key so how can you screw that up? It takes a special kind of retard to do that

"We now return to Battling Seizure Robots!"

Your mom bought you Go-bots, didn't she?

I loved my Go-bots! They were metal instead of plastic, and left good welt when thrown!

Getting a Go-Bot was like being given clothes on christmas day.

Together those films grossed $1.5 billion. So clearly he did not screw up the money making machine.

Except 20 years later I'd actually appreciate the socks and underwear. Still don't want the Go-Bots. The main character was a goddamned scooter. Named Scooter!

LOL! A good marketing department does not a good movie make. Next you will be saying that Megan Fox, the plastic surgery princess, is the hottest girl ever.

LOLx2! You brought up the "money making machine". As a capitalist venture, he has succeeded wildly. As an artistic venture, it was shit in the 80s and its shit now. No harm, no foul.

A good marketing department might account for the opening weekend, but it doesn't account for the DVD sales. LOLx3! Some people liked the movie enough to see it again!

But what of the Rock Lords?

What if they just did a live action version of the animated movie? Pretty sure it was Orson Wells' best role and I assume Judd Nelson isn't busy.

P.S. Please don't do this. My childhood was a precious time.

Scooter was approachable! He was relatable! He was every awkward kid, but in metal form.

Well seeing as they were aimed at nerds who haven't gotten laid (if ever) since the 80's or at 15 year old boys of today let 'em bring on the special effects and make more money.

If you take an old cartoon and faithfully remake it into a beautifully made, well-cast, creative, original, fun, heartwarming movie... you get Speed Racer and the general public ignores it.

How does that work? Freddy barely even talks in the first movie. (You know, the good one.)
