So many of you bitched and complained about the crude humor and what many thought were lame jokes. We get word that bay has made a desion to change this and tone it down. And what do we get? More bitching and complaining from the fan base.
I mean com'on people... Bay is listening to the fans and giving them what they wanted. He's responding to all the criticism in a good way and all he gets in return is smut. You guys are really sad. This is not how you continue to get your voice heard. Remember, he doesn't have to do this. He's not obligated to give us anything!! SO if you want to keep having your voice heard, then start showing some damn appreciation!!! Doubting him and calling him a lair isn't going to help!!
Omega Charge wrote:Hey, getting rid of the cheap comedy and focusing on the plot and characters (which sound promising based on the recent news) could be just what the third movie needs to be a fantastic climax to the trilogy (and much better than ROTF). The comedy in TF2 was just too much, and it kept being distracting and killing the pace of the story. If Bay stays true to his word, I think TF3 will be quite awesome.

It's funny, I was going to call BS on the reportings, and it seems half if not more of the members here beat me too it. Seems like we're all Jaded at this point, still, none can blame us, though many try. Amusing.
Joshua Vallse wrote: There will always be a sense of Bays humor in these films, Bay can't help it. If he can tone it down, alot, then that would be a big improvement. Right now he has alot of damage control to do, not just for fan bases which I can assure you isn't his main concern, but he's recieving alot of flak from the industry itself..

Joshua Vallse wrote:I would say the safest thing for him to do is go back and reuse the formula he did for the first film, which kinda was already reused and then butchered with the unassurace of being a comedy for the second film. the first film pretty much everyone loved, me included. Stick with that, and wrap it up nice and neat and the path to damage control will have begun.
Laters,

the obnoxious jokes with Leo & the twins -- what he & the writers wanted.
30 min. of that bs could've been cut out of the movie, lessening the pain for us, but no -- Bay pretty much has final cut & left what HE wanted in.

Oh god, are you still stuck on the whole "flames on Optimus" kic are you? Ya, bay did want them. So what? Did that really ruin the movie for you?
Ya, he and the writers did add the twins and leo cause they wanted to. There putting there hard work into the movie. So be it that they add a few things that they wanted to.
But what about the stuff that bay listened to? Less shakey cam; more robots, more action and fight scenes for the robots. Not everything is going to be perfect. But its evident someone is listening.

Joshua Vallse wrote:$=Awesome movie. No, thats not how it works. It's more complicated then that of course, but I'm sleepy right now so I'll leave it to "Nothing else was really playing for the kiddies till Ice Age 3 came out." Pick this apart or build on it to ones whim..I'll be back to elaborate more...mayb

Ok this kind of talk is starting to annoy me. People talk like they can read Bay's mind. Were you there when she was cast? Do you have any idea what role she's playing? No? So wait for some actual information before you act like you know everything.Joshua Vallse wrote:Either way, he's taking baby steps, hiring great actors like Malcovich while also taking steps backwards like hiring eye candy soley to be eyecandy....i mean the premis itself doesn't really even stick. Sam scoring a hot girl as result of an alien war...okay, sure. That was a pretty outstanding moment so I'll believe it...it happeing twice and this time with a underware model? Ugh....just ugh.
Umm NO, Ice Age 3 came out the next week, and RotF made slightly more than it. I don't know what point your trying to make anyway, every movie makes less money over time. If you want to make a point back it up with actual facts and not something you pulled out of your hindquarters.Suttle things like this, even in a franchise which is obviously made to appeal to both young and old, tend to ruin things, unless the pretty FX and eyecandy are enough for some. Which obviously it is, most notably the kiddies. I mean it's a theory, but a damn good one because TF2 reigned for a good while with nothing else being released for the children, it was a perfect moment for the film to capitalize. Then Ice Age 3 came out and the first hint of competition, it's weekly intake was chopped in half. Later on, it fizzled away. So it's gross intake I will accredit to very very special ciurcumstances.

Ha ha.. Now thats funny. Good stories have NEVER been a strong point for any TF series. G1 being a prime example of this. I mean, its entertaining in its own right. But you really can't complain about having some Superior story when the source material is lacking.
