Well fuck me gently with a wooden spoon sideways WHAT a fucking awesome preview!!!

Anybody who can watch the 22 minute preview and not wet their pants is simply dead inside. DEAD I tells you.

First scene is the Helicopter landing in the military base. Standard stuff till WHAM robots in disguise. The weapons on this thing were superb with ILM's unfinished special effects already looking stunning.

Second scene is an introduction to Shia's character and the love interest, and how his car Bumblebee helps him in chatting her up. I was a little concerned about this kid holding up the movie but gone are any reservations I had.

Third scene is with Shia and Rachel trying to find an object in his house, but standing outside are the Autobots who need the object. Optimus looks so good. I'm pretty speechless to be honest.

And the fourth scene is a nice Michael Bay action scene with Scorp fighting a bunch of US spec forces, followed by a bunch of US airforce. It fucking rocked!! Hard!! Like HARD ROCK!! or something

Overall the preview had comedy, action, really nice acting and giant robots delivering nothing much Transformers goodness!!!

I should state that I am promoting this movie in Australia, but you guys are in the UK and I can talk about in an honest way and I cannot wait to see this film. I really can't.

Are you serious?

Myself, and the 200 Transformers fans in the audience were going ballistic.

I took along a few of my mates to the preview and all of them including the two girls all said that Transformers looks brilliant.

Will be a good movie for kids and adults alike, with some great action and nice humour.

Great looking action is basically all I want and expect. It should be the Independence Day of this summer. Anybody expecting a plot with characters as well written as the cartoon is clearly insane. What a masterpiece of writing that was :blink:

You won't be disppointed.

The action I watched was great. When the helicopter unfolded and starting unleashing with some kind of gauss rifle I was open jawed.

And THAT noise of the weapon sounded very familiar. Just jaw dropping stuff.

The whole attack scene is great.

Well no-one was going ballistic in the screening of the footage I saw. There was a heck of a lot of eyeball rolling though. The robots do look better in motion than they do in screenshots, but there was just so much cheeese in the script. And while Bay is great at blowing stuff up, he has no idea how to tell a story through his action - it was often little more than a confusing muddle of random shots.

Fair enough if you enjoyed it I guess. As a hardcore movie and transformers fan though, I was well disappointed with what I saw.

I'm also a hardcore movie fan, and a transformers fan and I was well happy with what I saw and reckon Bay may have pulled this one off

if the actings as good as "The Rock" and "the Island" (which was pretty good IMO) then this will be awesome, now we've gotta sit and wait and cover our ears when the rest of the world gets it before us :blink:

Vemsie, you mong, no one wants the fucking cartoon. Get that into your fucking thick skull. There are loads - SHOCK FUCKING HORROR - actually really good and well written stories out there that pissed on the shitty fucking cartoon from the stratosphere (granted, neither the Bruce Springsteen or Car Wash of eyerolling Doom ones were any of them). We're not talking about Tolstoy or Shakespeare but solid, entertaining stories with a wide cast of personalities. Just like there are some exceptionally well done designs that show up a lot of the film ones for the shambles they are. That's not to say all the film designs are bad, Prime, Jazz, Blackout, Ironhide all look excellent but really, what in God's name is that piece of shit with F-22 parts tacked on supposed to be? It's like the monkey from The Fly if it had gotten all the pod bits stuck in it like Brundle did at the end, it's rubbish. As for the easily dispatched Megatron, Christ.

Seriously, stop being such a cock just because nothing you ever give a flying fuck about gets the Hollywood Prison Sex treatment. I'm tired of your snide jibes and constant defending of shit that throws out 75% of the source material (Hey, Constantine) just so you can have yet another mindless fucking piece of shit action movie to satisfy your constant craving for bad cinema.

Roll on that Robocop remake, I hope they fuck it in the arse especially for you.

Ok, so Vem doesn't think much of the source material and is happy to have a mindless action film - I don't see anything wrong with that.

Maybe he's just realised that Hollywood rarely lives up to the source material (especially when something is held in high regard) and so just enjoys the films for what they are?

What? I've never defended Constatine. I haven't seen the movie, nor have I read the comics.

And you're wrong with your first sentence as well. Batman & Robin?

But hey, nice to see you too, Ryan!

You have a short memory, you most definitely did defend every ridiculous aspect of Constantine, the choice of actors, relocation, the missing the point of what the character meant and his role against society, all using the exact same 'as long as I get a decent bit of action, so what' argument and hearing you didn't even bother to watch it after all that is the icing on the cake. But that's not what grates, it's the snide jibes at those who do respect/have a fondness for the original material in whatever case it tends to be that we're talking about. That's why I'm ever so slightly vexed with you, dear heart. Be it V, Constantine or even a two hour toy commercial, it's an attitude that rubs me up the wrong way, particularly when they're little more than taken straight out of that arsehole Faraci's mouth. At least come up with your own verbal jousts, mon ami!

Hey, I love you and I'm the first to admit my defense of V for Vendetta. But never in my life have I defended Constatine. I know nothing about the comic, except that Ennis* and Ellis were involved at some point and that's he a chain smoking son of a bitch. The only thing I know about the movie is that Keanu Reeves is it. Perhaps I've said it might be good in the end, as who the fuck knows how something pans out. But that's about as far as it gets.

*Ah, Ennis. No fondness for source material, eh? I'll back here if they fuck up Preacher. :(

Anyway, when are we doing the Comic Con fanboy thing? :(

Well this movie looks like a decent script, with good lines AND action.

I have a feeling it will satisfy most people except huge fans of the comic book but I don't think anyone would be satisfied by that.

The robots looks hugely complicated which already annoyed one of my mates. He said they should be simple like the cartoons but I disagree. They should look complex. They are giant robots that can transform into vehicles and work as the vehicles.

I truly believe this will be one of the best movies of the year. If I am wrong I shall never comment on a movie in this folder again.
