even the muppet babies have evolved from a cartoon to puppets..i wonder if there was an outcry on the muppet baby boards
to the ones who are saying they are unimpressed they are either blind, lying, or have absolutely no taste or sense of current day reality...you dont even have to be a fan of transformers to be impressed by those teasers, this movie is making CGI history...i also find it funny that so many find it necesary to try and point out other small things in an attempt to downgrade the movie....."the robots look to cgi", "i would hear the robot transform, what a plot hole", "optimus scanned the truck to fast"
seriously..this is a movie...it doesnt have to be 100% perfect..just similiar ENOUGH to reality to not throw the audience off or make the audience feel they are watching a cheesey movie...
anyways, those trailers were **** awesome
1st... Muppet babies came from muppets. You ever heard of the Muppet show? Jim Henson was a puppeteer, not a cartoonist.
2nd... I am not impressed, I am not lying and I am definitely not blind to this generic robot movie. Those robot bore no resemblance to anything I would call transformers. They look at much like a pile of walking trash as they did in the first screen shots except now they move. You can't tell which character is which half of the time except by their alt modes. I don't see why anyone would be excited about characters that can be interchanged with one another so easily. My complaints have nothing to do with the fact that they look CGI (which wouldn't be as much of a problem if they had kept them simple) or the plot having a bunch of holes in it. My complaints are confirmed by the fact that all the robots look generic. I like the fact that I can look at a G1 robot head and tell you the name of the character.
If this was a brand new movie like men in black meet the giant robots from space, I might be on board with this movie.
As it is right now, I have moved from "I might see it" to "I'll wait until it is shown on TBS", I won't even bother to rent it. Actually that is a complement since I won't bother to Tivo Cybertron.
