Transformers 3 - Bringing Back 'Core Mythology'

I'm excited about this. Yeah, ROTF had maybe too many characters, but I like the idea of flashbacks. I just hope he gets this one out of the gutter and knocks it out of the park.

All I can say is, they better make this movie good. And it's sad that it's taking 3 moives to, maybe getting right.

And ROTF really wasn't overpopulated. Bay just didn't give enough screen time to the TransFormers. It was all about jokes...that aren't funny. But if Hasbro really is having a say in this movie, then maybe we'll see if TF3 will be good. But really, ROTF could have been much better if it was a TransFormers movie.

I'm a writer so yes, I know you need humans in the film, I agree. But if it's called TransFormers, you need it to be more about TransFormers. And not having scenes that go nowhere. You see, since the TransFormers are already very much like humans, they talk, show emtion, plan, fight, etc... You can get away with a movie like TransFormers with out too many human scenes.

Just so long as the elements of the core mythology actually encompasses the entire mythos as it claims, I'm happy.

I'd be very happy to see more diverse homages. Rampantly homaging G1 gets old for this RiD/UT fan.

So that might stipulate Mini-cons and Haiku.

"You’re going to see that great core mythology brought to the fore, and Michael is hard at work at making this a reality and we’re very excited about it,"

Lies.

"What we’re really doing is getting back to some of the core character development and storytelling. And I think there’s some elements of the core story that the filmmakers, Michael in particular wanted to tell,"

More lies.

ROTF was just awesome. If this one is better it's because it's without those two canon destroying writers. I am glad they are gone.

Thank God that there is someone out there that agrees with me. Yeah there were to many bad joke (one of them being wheelie) and to much human stuff, but it was NOT a bad movie.

Hmmm, Core Mythology, huh?

Whatever that means to them is one thing we will never really know. But, I do know what it isn't. It isn't ROTF. If it was, they wouldn't need to go back to it, would they?

Now, I'm not a fancy, high-class hollywood executive or anything like that, but isn't this something they should have addressed in, I don't know, THE FIRST 5 HOURS OF FEATURE FILM?

Granted, I watch the hell out of both movies... thanks to rifftrax. I wish I could watch them because they were good movies and not because they are easy to laugh at... At, not with.

After dozens of viewings of both, I can say with a clear conscious that I have absolutely no idea what any of the characters motivations are, nor why they interact with each other the way they do. I've been a human my whole life and can't understand the social gymnastics performed on screen by the humans in these films.

Transformers 3: Death of an Intellectual Property will follow the same pattern as the first two films, regardless of any nonsense spewed before hand by its financiers. Isn't this nearly the same thing they said before ROTF came out?

If anything, Bay should just keep doing the same crap he has done this far and keep any established cannon from the cartoons and comics out of it.

To paraphrase the ROTF Rifftrax at the moment of primes death:

Mike: Wow, his death had more emotional resonance in the animated version.

Bill: That's not a sentence you hear very often.

core mythos of the entire TF universe or just the crappy movie universe?

Poor Man... deluding himself like that.

What happened to Bay saying he's learned not to listen to fans.

You're already two movies in. It's too late to try to prod Bay to be better. Just let him run the movieverse (deeper) into the ground and we can move on with new franchises.

Black Bumblebee wrote:Wow, the people whose finances depend on people going to see the movie say it'll be good... that means, I should like totally believe them.

Michael Bay doesn't care about this stuff. All he cares about is making lots of money by catering to the lowest common denominator. He doesn't understand the characters at all, and thinks that as long as you have explosions, wavy camera angles, and the sort of sexual humor that middle school students think up, then people will watch his movie.

The sad thing is--the sales receipts show that he was right.

So, Michael Bay IS smart...just not in the way you think as smart.
