Do you type standing up? That must be hell on the knees.

Wow. That comment is old, unclever, and not funny.
Please, stop saying it over and over.
The action seems very similar to Indepence Day (ID4 - Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum). ID4 is one of my all-time favorite movies...
If you're a fan that is really against this movie, all that I ask is that you see the movie at least once with an open mind.
Would you rather have a movie that's different from G1 or no movie at all?

I and others surely will.
Luckily though, thanks to the age of technology we have today, one does not need to pay or get hosed first to give a movie a chance.
Download first, support later.
Despite your reference to ID4 being one of your favorite movies (not that the graphics weren't temporarily entertaining, back when such graphics were unique), your review does fill me with hope.Would you rather have a movie that's different from G1 or no movie at all?
None. This movie could be all sorts of kickass but still feel "wrong" in the long run to G1 fans like myself.
My take currently is "Oh well, it'll bring money to the franchise which will lead to better products later". But truly love it or wish it happened, not really.
I mean, I'm not an idiot. I know the world runs on money, but... it could have been a much more faithful attempt.
Still, who cares. It'll come, make some profit, maybe spew off a sequel or two, then go away, leaving Hasbro a lil' richer. No biggie.
One could cry for ages about it not being true G1, but the OTHER nice thing about technology is CGI will come down in price, leading to FANS doing the movie they wanted years from now.

A) They don't realize that it is an unfinished movie which they have not seen.

Faceful of Kitchen wrote:look at it this way: think of all the movie previews you've ever seen and dismissed because the movie didn't look like your kind of film. were you wrong to decide that you weren't interested without having payed for and sat through the movie? well, in this case we've seen a hell of a lot more than just a trailer.
Faceful of Kitchen wrote: it's gotten to the point where i'm considering writing and printing up pamphlets explaining why i'm not planning to see the movie so i can just hand them out to people who try to start that conversation.
and, to me at least, it's not about accuracy to g1 or any other series. from everything i've seen, up to and including the leaked script that seems to be pretty damn close to the shooting script, this movie represents neither what i like about tfs nor what i like about movies.

Last I checked, Indepence Day was a very successfuly movie. It's ranked #22 on the all-time highest grossing movies list.
EDIT: Godzilla does show up on IMDB's list at #126:

EDIT2: I just realized that the first list that I linked spans over 26 pages so maybe Godzilla appears on one of the later lists. I'll take Transformers doing as well as ID4 to get in the top 25 of all time. That'd make me a very happy Transformers website owner.
