    CareerBuilder.com was the best, with a close second being Cars.com due to it's Wes Anderson feel. It was very Royal Tenebaums-esque

    @Nicholas Black: I think the problem is that if they didn't explicitly say "This is a GI Joe trailer" then, with the exception of saying the names aloud, nobody would ever make the connection. There is absolutely nothing that has been shown, thus far, that connect this movie to the original cartoon/comics/toys.


    They used the name to pander to old-school fans, and then went ahead and made your typical shitty action movie with a bunch of special effects and bodyformed plastic armor.


    Epic ninja battle? If that's the entirety of the coolness that is retained, I'll wait until it hits the instant play" list on Netflix.

    That is so fucking stupid.


    I really liked the cartoon because it had some kickass girls in it and I didn't feel like they were just there for no reason. The whole team was cool, and they just kicked Cobra's ass, anywhere, anytime. Also, they weren't a bunch of moronic Abercrombie & Fitch kids, they were men and women.


    This whole "Secret ops" angle is just retarded.

    Are you absolutely sure Michael Bay doesn't have something to do with this!?

    @BeautifulAgony: I don't think you're giving Stephen Sommers enough credit. This is they guy that Gave us the Mummy, Scorpin King, and Van Helsing. I'm pretty sure the guy knows how to turn out crap without Bay's involvement.

    @tande04: You're absolutely right, and I extend my apologies. Van Helsing is among the worst movies ever made, and I heard it was classified as a threat to national security because of its epic dumbness.


    That's just what I heard, I'm just sayin'...

    I'm tired of everyone telling me that movies based on television shows/cartoons from my youth CAN'T look like/be like they did back then. If you had taken transformers, and not not made them look soo "real", and given them personalities like they had back in TOS, the movie would have been so much better. There's a reason we sat planted in front of the TV for literally weeks of our lives, and why no one really watches the "CGI" series reduxs.

    Already downloaded the HD version, just in case it goes down.


    either way if it was actually "leaked" or viral, it most likely will be taken down.

    I don't totally get it.


    This (or the first one) feels like a movie for really young people. But I played with Transformers as a kid. I feel like either you're too old to want to see this or too young for Transformers to mean anything to you.


    But clearly there is some huge market in between.


    So either the beginning of Transformers overlapped with the end of my childhood or I've just aged into a sad old man quicker than necessary.

    I was one of the two (three?) people who liked Transformers. No, not liked as in Megan Fox was hot liked, but as in the movie. People kept perving over Megan Fox to forget about the awesome CG graphics.

    nah i loved it, the fight scenes and the updated look was amazing, its just these fuckin nerds keep talkin about anything that comes out, as if there cartoon from the 80's was so dam meaningful to them.. they need to just stfu

    the movie was awesome, obviously anyone who isn't a super nerd liked it.

    @SinsapaCassandra: I didn't hate it because of the differences from the cartoon (nor does the cartoon have any deep nostalgia or "meaning" to me, but it was good, and the 80's movie was decent)... I hated it because the CGI was fucking awful and the robots just looked like massive piles of steaming shit. Having billions of tiny moving parts for every goddamn piece of the robot doesn't make it realistic, it just makes it that much more annoying and unbelievable.


    The overwhelming response to the initial images of the Autobots and Decepticons was "What the fuck!?" because the level of complexity was just incredibly retarded and detrimental to giving them "character". As for the fight scenes, if you like 1/4-second rapid cuts, then I guess it's your thing... I think if Michael Bay tried to make shorter cuts during editing he'd creep into subliminal territory.


    Michael Bay is a retard who relies on cheap tricks and loud bangs in order to wow the monkeys who like his work. He knows it, and even ackowledges it explicitly. He makes flashy movies for dumb people.
