<sigh> Please stop justifying the movie's weaknesses with the supplementary novels and comics. A movie needs to stand on its own. You want to spend your money on the extra junk, go ahead - the rest of us have every right to complain if our RM12 gives us an unsatisfying experience.
*
dude this movie is based on a extensive literature that spans over comic books,novels and also cartoon series, hey werent you the guy that said the humans have no role in the G1 series? what,now you are changing camps all of a sudden? just because i could justify it with facts with past work and you cant,that doesnt warrant you to say im spending money on junk. Some of us actually spend our money on toys,comics and novels because we are true blue fans how does it make em junk? The movie has obvious references on the past literature,you just need to know where to look, its not like a story that came up from some random writer's head to stand on its own. Its based on a franchise that has been around for years of course it has to relate to that and it did in many instances. What do you mean the "rest of us" if i were to do a calculation of the number of positive comments and negative comments of this movie,your "us" is just but a small number.

hmm wait to make my comments above more stingging i'll show you how you flip flops in your commentary.

wow you gotta wonder werent those past literature? arent those junk too? first you base your comments on a past work and say its not the same now you say its junk and irrelevant,wow you can really change your stance that fast.

i think so too,cause when the projectile hit him and he fell to the ground,blood was everywhere behind his body. They sort of used their powers to heal him up,sort of like how wolverine heals after an intense fight.

btw, there are still quite a few TF elders as shown on the map, Jetfire is just one of them, few more elders in the next movie, perhaps?
*
that could be a probability too,i wanna see defensor and the protector bots take on Devastator's constructicon. Heres a trivia some of the bots in ROTF, at the desert was created by Starscream that explains them being identical to some of the constructicon and also shows how they took on similar forms as the original cons,due to cloning perhaps? as witnessed at the Nemessis on one of Jupiter's moons.

I would also wanna see, Grimlock and Ultramagnus in the next movie.

Much of these goofballs are some amateur fanboys that maybe in their memories recalled watching Transformers G1 cartoon, and maybe own a few of G1 toys back when they were kids. So with their limited mindset of 'we know all about Transformers' knowledge, some really funny things will come out from them.

I recall one that talked about it, as if he made the whole cartoon series by himself and then resoting too say that its junk and the movie should be self explanatory.

Yeah those comic... damn those where the days.. i remember the UK Transformers storyline is more darker than US counterpart (especially bounty hunter Deadhead, 2005 Transwars Timeline, Wreckers and the drawings). Simon Furman sure know how to tell darker side....

btw have u read IDW Transformers:All Hail Megatron....

haha nope just gotten my hands on IDW's War Within series. Will find that one and read it. I like the fact there are some elements in this movie that is taken from the marvel,idw franchise especially the Fallen, Jetfire and Grimlock along with the other bots struggled to banish him in War Within hehe.

I think it's dreawave production that went to bankrup before IDW broughts it. Plus should see the All Hail Megatron, much darker storyline (especially Starscream which surprise characterzation)... recommend to read...

The fallen is quite bulky in TF:WW compare to TF:ROTF..... huhuh  flex.gif
Well i mean an army of seekers clones which when Megatron depoly them when Spike gets to Optimus to revive since Seekers (akin to Clone Trooper SW) was main army of the deceptions (in G1, DW TF) instead protoforms aka keileifei...

Only once they intro in Bay TF is well Starscream, Jetfire and Thundercracker, Dreadwing [IDW TF:Reign of Starscream]
*
Yeap,they bought all rights of DWP,will check that novel out. The fallen was quite bulky and he had this freaky fire coming out from his head all the time not to mention manhandling Grimlock like a toy one and memorable moment would be this hehe.
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

the protector bots fighting devastator,classic.

Hmm in the ROTF,the seekers here could also be the cons at the desert,merely clones of the constructicons in bipedal form as they were made by starscream on board Nemesis. Starscream, Jetfire and Thundercracker, Dreadwing werent they called skyraiders in G1?

The only thing i dun like in t2 is why jetfire must move using a stick and have beard on it's face? in cartoon his is old but still very active.. but in this movie..........

Really potong steam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*
err that is because he didnt age well due to lack of energon and he was in a stasis lock for many many years before the shard reactivated him,he did say without energon the transformers will rust and have a slow death more of age and die a painful and slow death. You must concentrate on how Jetfire's explain why he was the way he was la brader.

that is to go hand in hand with the notion that the elders aka jetfire were on earth for a very long time, looking for the matrix i believe and also to give emphasis to the fact that the TF's were here long before Megatron crash landed on earth. Well if you think of disposable robot there a lot of them in G1,armada and others that died without a proper introduction even Optimus dies in the 80ies movie does that make him disposable?

they are not mere robots, they are living entities with souls. They even have politicians back in cybertron,a law system,a social structure and all that. So in a sense they are just another alien society with a metal/electronic body. In that sense all this bickering about what they can do or cannot do is nonsense, if humans can fart,burp or joke that doesnt mean an alien species cant do the same eventhough they are a bit different than us, wheelie humping megan fox leg is just a comic relief nothing more,if you dont find it funny than others will,TF is never to be serious in the cartoon series days,if you want a serious or darker tone to the story read the books like All Hail Megatron and other novels,they are aimed at a more mature and analytical audience.

Yes, I don't know what happened to ROTF. Afterall, it is the same team that did the first one. One good example of a great and funny moment was the entire Autobots in Sam's backyard.

Also, it would've been great if we didn't get pointless characters like that tag-along guy(Sam's room mate, anyway remember his name?). What was the point of having him? And would've been greater if the Twins screen time were replaced with Sideswipe and Jolt. And it would've been a movie we all wanted if the Autobots were to engage the Decepticons head on in the village in Jordan instead of hiding behind humans.

Less humans for the next movie and Bay to die before they start making it!!!
*
again its a story line,just because you dont like it doesnt mean its bad and its vice versa with those who like it. Leo was there as he and simmons were responsible in creating awareness about the existence of the decepticons on earth through their respective websites without him they never would have known where the elders like Jetfire was,or would he met Simmons. The twins were there to show that the TFs also have an intricate society of adult,old and young transformers,they are trying to portray them as another civilization that pretty much embody the social structure like ours. Sideswipe had a major role in the Veiled threat and Jolt went of to New York when the decepticon attacked, before the scene at the forest.

How to have less humans in the next movie? Whats the point of calling them robots in disguise? if not for their ability to transform into everyday human vehicles? thats what they are known for,thats what get us all hooked with the first cartoon series and the humans have played an integral part even during those times,try watching the first animated movie you can see the relationship between humans and bots even back then.

The reason why the autobots didnt go all out with the decepticons at the desert because its a tactical disadvantage and hey they consider humans as comrades and fought with them side by side for over 2 years under NEST, so they need all the help they could get imagine Ironhide,the twins,arcee,Ratchet,Sideswipe,Jetfire,Bumblebee, and Jolt taking on all the other 20 something decepticons,they will overwhelm them in minutes especially Megatron and starscream not to mention The Fallen,they were just too many of them.

I know I've nitpicked a lot about ROTF. And I'm not the only one. Allow me to say one thing.

A good movie doesn't need so many people to defend it. A good movie defends itself. smile.gif

ROTF isn't the worst movie. It also isn't the best. I'd say it's an average movie, hampered by its inconsistent plot and some bad editing.

http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/smg-transf...-questions.html

This is a good article, pretty much sums up how poor the plot is. If the producers could answer half of them in the movie itself, it'd have been a great movie for sure smile.gif
*
hey i find it an oxymoron statement wouldnt that also mean "A bad movie doesnt need so many people to bash it,a bad movie will tank by its own",well then there are those who join the bandwagon to bash it so that it'll tank,ultimately a good movie shows how much it earns at the box office. If your product is good people would buy it if not it'll just suck and disappear from the market.

QUOTE(Darkchaser @ Jul 1 2009, 12:42 PM)
Well, box office earnings isn't really a good measure for how good a movie is. Box office is just a result of your marketing and hype. Coincidentally, TF2 is a good example. Despite all the bad reviews floating around, it's still doing well. Why? Marketing and hype. The marketing this time around is 10 times more than the first movie, almost to the point of overexposure.

I never would imagine seeing Optimus promoting KFC, much less seeing Bumblebee every time I pass by a Petronas biggrin.gif

Most good movies though, never earn enough. That's why there are such things as "sleeper hits", movies that don't have such a gargantuan marketing budget, but should be good enough to rake in good money.

Ahh, a little off topic now tongue.gif

BTW, I love this summary from a review. Another bash, but I just love its conclusion.

Isnt that the case with Terminator Salvation as well, i never saw terminators in shampoo or deodorant ads before? it tanked after a few days cause people didnt like it and didnt bother to watch reruns. Again my analogy still stands,if a product despite its marketing glitz is still bad it'll just tank,people will just not buy it. Marketing will only serve as a means to ingrain the product in our minds,but the outcome is not controlled by the marketing campaign its the likes of us who control the movie's direction by watching it and asking others like our friends to watch sort of like word of mouth marketing,can be a good or bad thing, if it trully sucked everyone will just go back and tell their driends and family it sucked and this process will go on and on until its just stop racking money for the movie.

QUOTE(Darkchaser @ Jul 1 2009, 02:53 PM)
Let's agree to disagree yah? On an unrelated note, IMO Terminator Salvation became a victim of its own franchise. A lot of fans became disillusioned by T3 and, possibly, Terminator: Sarah Connor. Fans didn't even bother to watch because they already know it's going to suck. Frankly I haven't even watched it either. Because I know it's gonna disappoint.

Anyways, ROTF is still enjoyable. I loved the animation, I loved seeing Devastator combine and climb up the pyramid (I hate Devastator balls though) and Optimus vs Megs/StarS/BlackOut was great. I just wished the movie didn't make me ask questions like "Does Wheelie really have a ****?" or "Does Jetfire have a bad knee?"
*
fine by me bro. I really had huge problems with that movie due to the fact the proceedings of T2 never really been implemented in T4,especially when theres a huge nuke explosion and people can still walkabout with no radiation effect or the fact that the terminators are immune to hot liquid metal.

That forest scene for me was epic,kinda sad to see optimus getting backstabbed and die like that. Jetfire, did say his boosters are fried and had a hard time transforming especially the lack of energon and being in stasis lock for a very long time,i wish they could somehow bring him back since his spark is still okay. He represents the fate of tfs without energon,extinct that is.

Hey, a lot of those Decepticons that crash landed in Jordan, didn't take any forms. That's why they are "stainless steel colour". At least that's my take.
*
yeap except for a select few like mixmaster and other,they were just mere clones created in the Nemesis by Strascream just like those kelefei bots in the cartoon series and novels. Reminds me of the "Attack of the Clones". Plus there were not much vehicles near the pyramids to mimic and transform into, thanks to Dr Zahi Hawass limiting vehicle access in the pyramids in real life. It was the first time in 30 years that any filming was allowed there hehe apparently Zahi Hawass is a fan so go figure.
