I'm just wondering what everyone's opinions on this is.

As you all know whenever something gets made into a movie it changes from it's source material. What I want to know is how much of a change do you actully find acceptable?

I know alot might say there should be no changes from the source material but lets say there has to be at least 1 change from the original version. How much of a change would be acceptable. This could mean anything from a character changing from having hazel eyes in the original to having blue eyes in the new version or something as big as the person is germaphobic in the original but now he's a slob.

what a bizarre question

people dont make changes based on amagical changes-quota, an acceptable amoutn of changes is an amount of changes that improves something, translates it effectgively to the big screen, and doesnt **** it up,simple as that

The only change I can accept is Megatron being a jet. I just wish the jet wasn't the definition of suck.

so far i think the movie has not made any unacceptable changes to the TFs. the only thing thats sort of on a thinline with me is how they made starscream into a big ogre type bot. i wouldnt mind if they just had him as an f16 in this movie rather than the f22.

I'd be fine with the jet mode if it didn't look like crap.

Do you understand the meaning of "Broken Record?"

Becasue it's what you're starting to sound like.

In this forum, have you made any other post that isn't brainlessly bashing the designs?

I agreed with AK in one recent thread. If you call that brainless bashing, then you're insulting AK too. I wouldn't be bashing the movie so much if Bay&Co had made the movie right. Most of my bashings aren't brainless, either. If something looks poorly thought out and terrible(movie "Megatron"), a person doesn't need to think much to bash it, do they?

BTW, is there any topic where you won't bash me for bashing the movie?

When have I done that? I've kept my mouth shut about your (Somewhat creative) movie bashings.

And, save that agreement with AK (Who probably wasn't just bashing, but making a good point [EDIT: I take that back]), you've used a few different words (Commonly "Crap") for the same thing.

And that, my good sir, is a broken record.

And one more thing: What would've made the movie "Right"? Keep in mind, anything too similar to the cartoon is the wrong answer.

Human faces, for starters. No flames on Prime. Megatron to LOOK like a Transformer instead of a creature from the black lagoon. Starscream to look like Starscream. Ironhide to be red. Different head, hands, and color for Ratchet. Frenzy to not look like a TV antennae. Jazz to not have a faceplate. No "battle modes". No "Protoform comets". No spikey metal shards everywhere on the bodies. The Transformers to have certain scenes near the beginning. Megatron to not be a vampire. Finally, to be without the "All the Transformers are evil" theme(Everything the allspark brings to life in the movie is evil and attacking people). None of these things would've hurt the movie, but Michael Bay thinks the Transformers are spikey, unintellegent, inhuman insects who like to kill army men.
