New Transformers Trailer
 

http://video.vividas.com/CDN1/5029_paramount/en/web/

This just raised my low expectations for this movie.

I"ve been looking forward to this movie for some time now. I think it's one of those movies that's either be awsome or suck there's not going to be any inbetween.

Thanks for the link, nice little teaser!

hrrrmmmm DAMN! looks good. But I will still go in thinking it will suck, since that's how I end up enjoying the vast majority of movies I see ;)

Can't fuckin wait for the movie to come out, I'll be breaking out all the old Transformer toys from my childhood for that one.

I've been waiting for this since I first heard about it. The trailer looks good, I just hope the movie is as well.

I've been thinking its going to suck since I heard Micheal Bay was doing it. Maybe, hopefully, Stephen kept him and the movie in line.

lol did anyone notice the little girl at the end is carrying a My Pretty Pony (also a Hasbro toy from the 80's that was populer from 81-83, before transformers came out in 84)

Ever since I heard Bay was in on this, my expectations have been very, very low. Perhaps it will turn out good.

*EDIT*

I watched the trailer. They are going to have to work on some of those graphics to get it believable. Some older car commercials have better "transformer" graphics than that. I really enjoyed the helicopter transformer thing though. If the graphics end up being a smash hit on this movie, it will take it a long way.

Hmmm, I think there are two points this.
First off, this is the first I have heard of this movie.
Second, I loved the original series and the original movie.
Third, I don't like the new series.
Fourth, It looks like if taken as a stand alone movie with no background story or connection to the original series or even the current series it should be a good movie.
Fifth, I think since I did like the original I will be less inclined to like this one as it will be a perversion of my old childhood cartoon.
Sixth, I have gone on way too long, I was only supposed to have two points to this reply.

I've been pretty skeptical about this, but.... that trailer was pretty bad-ass.

Is Voltron next in line? I think it's silly.

I think it's a great idea, but something like this needs really good directing and effects to work. The effects shouldn't be too much of a problem, all they need is money. The directing is where it's going to sell it. They gotta take it seriously. This movie has so much potential. I mean freaking car commercials have the graphics in place already. Point in case: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...ransform&hl=en

That video came out at least a year go, maybe longer. This movie is going to have to have great directing in order to succeed. And if it doesn't, I'm going to be one pissed off Transformers fan.

I came in here just to say this...:thumbsup:

We can tell who didn't spend countless hours watching the Transformers TV show and playing with Autobots!

I am still not sold. Sad thing is I liked them when I was a kid. The movie just doesnt look good to me. :(

i never watched the show but i did have a few toys. still, even if i didnt play with em, i'd still want to see this movie. it looks like a great disaster movie for the summer!

edit: oups. my bad. it was actualy a GO-Bot toy that i had when i was young. eh. it's still cool to have some transformer movie in 3d/real action.

Hmm. That was a great trailer - for a Verhoevan horror movie. If I had never heard of the toyline or cartoon series, I'd be led to believe this movie was another Starship Troopers, with a parade of victims getting impaled by pointy monsters and aliens.

I certainly don't begrudge them for taking the film in a different direction or focusing on a new generation of fans, rather than mining nostalgic 30 somethings like me for an audience, but I was surprised by the complete lack of character or heart shown in that trailer. Wait and see, I guess.

I played with my Transformers for thousands of hours. They get my $9.00 just to see transformers in live action. If the movie is even remotely compelling, I am more than happy. That being said, the trailer looked great. Can't wait. . .

Thats completely my impression. No charm, No substance. They only vaguely resemble the G1 Transformers.

I dont know...perhaps Im too loyal to the original but this look like a complete farce in line with the Street Fighter movie.

I saw the preview on the big screen last night. Prime and Bumblebee look more like they are wearing dirt bike helmets...

The effects are going to be the best part. With any luck, there might be an actual story to drive it, but I'm not holding my breath. Bonus points will be scored if they get the same voice actors as were in the original cartoons. I'll go see it, unless I hear nothing but negative reviews after opening weekend.

Yeah, I had a lot of the original toys, but I was... a little rough with them.

True story.. friend at work was stationed at the air force base used in the opening of the movie.. we watched the trailer at work.. he was tickled it gets destroyed.. he did critize on the placement of the armament though heh

( old hippy that he is)

well everyone that posts on the TF forums says they look like bugs.. its actually a beefed up robotech/gundam look really.. they have faces but part of the helmet moved down during combat .. prime is supposed to have lips but will have the standard g1 face plate at times.

ive seen the vid of prime going flat out on a highway then "jumps" transforms in the air.. was awesome.. 2hrs later it was pulled off the net heh..

they are doing it.. but its gotta sell a toy line also.. i guess

This movie is gonna be very cool. And very bad.

My only gripe is that they look too organic, not at all like the G1 Transformers we all love so much :(

I'll still go see it, of course! :D

This, along with 300 and Spider-Man 3 are my "must see movies" of 2007.

I'm more excited about this than my ten year old son but he is pretty stoked too.

Can anybody remember how cool the original animated movie was with that evil planet thing and stuff.

Actually I did. I am not a fan of Michael Mann. Except for Heat, I can't think of a movie he did that I enjoyed. Also the trailer looks like any other action film, just with the Transformers license. I always look forward to being wrong, though, because I would rather be surprised than have my expectation (of this film) lead to disappointment.

Well, with Bay directing, my hopes are low. But I'm still going to see it. I've been wanting this for YEARS. Ah well, what is one more dream hopelessly crushed?

If Michael Mann were directing, I would be a LOT more excited about this.....

Michael Bay is directing :thumbsup:

I thought one thing and wrote something else. Bay is who I meant.

I heard about this movie a while ago, but hadn't seen a preview until now. Looks better than I expected. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

Why are the majority of people here disappointed Michael Bay is directing? I don't know who he is, which is why I ask.

I've upgraded my opinion from "I'm excited" to "this is going to fucking rock whether it sucks or not, because we get to see transformers transform and it makes the sound like it did in the cartoon and it's good graphics"

Wow, this makes it look... pretty darn good. I'm still wanting to hear them speak...

I will go to a midnight showing on the 3rd if they have one. That new trailer is quite nice looking. Appears that Bumblebee is Jesus in this one. I guess that is alright. Either way - seeing Starscream transform looked freaking great.

I will repeat what I said above - my expectations are to see some Transformer fight scenes. They get my $9.00 just for the fact that they made it. If the story sucks (i.e. they somehow try to insert a love story angle where one really doesn't need to be etc.) I will live with it.

wow! intense! this will be one of my must see movie of the summeR!

But I forgot to add.. you gotta understand.. pearl harbor was pure fantasy and fiction for michael bay. He will do great on this one. Plus you got SS in the background with a sniper pointing and MB the whole way.. Man no way would he let him mess this up.

I looked up the word "garbage" in the dictionary and it said "See: Michael Bay."

Surprisingly, I'm finding myself thinking the same thing. When Optimus transformed in that trailer (which is now on my desktop), I found myself back in 1986 sitting in front of our 17" color tv with bunny ears in the living room watching my favorite show. Michael Bay won't give us much of a story or style, but it's clear that, between the incredible graphics and the all to familiar sound of transforming, this will be worth my matinée payment.

I'm sorry to inform you all of TFP that I, Jetstream, grew up on, and still hold fond memories of, the "Beast Wars" transformers.

I had never witnessed the original vehicular Transformers.

Terrible shame. :(

Not at all. The Beast Wars were an important part of the Transformers legacy, and if you've seen every episode of Beast Wars, you HAVE seen Optimus Prime, who was nearly fatally damaged by the Predecon Megatron.
