Indeed.

Thanks for making it though, I completely agree with you. Makes me wonder if everyone on the internet is really this cynical about everything, or if they just use the internet as an outlet.

Nah, I'm pretty cynical in general. My whole gripe is what's the big deal about 2 minutes. Usually with that amount of time being so short, you're not gonna get a whole lot.

I hope it reveals more of Megan Fox...

I supsect it's the scene where Megatron rapes our childhood.

Seriously tho, 2 minutes is a bit of a kop out if you ask me. Why tease everyone with the promise of extra footage only to reveal a measily 2 minutes? Bay is the master of empty hype.

I know, thats why I made the disclamer in my inital statment.

But I'm sorry I can't help but sit back and wonder why fans are always so negeative about every little thing?

Granted, there are some things that should be bitched about, but when anything and everything is just being torn down, I can't help but wonder...

This of course is simply my opinion about the reactions to the statments about what I concider good news and in no way an attack on anyone. If you feel offeneded by my oppinion, I refer you to the last half of your statment with all due apologies.

I don't think I'm only person who feels this way though. Take a look, heres why I decided to revisit this thread in the first place and re-enforce my initial comment after reading the comments listed prior...

The highway scene with Bonecrusher lasted less than that I think and it was still awesome.

I think most of the stuff they cut out was mostly human interaction anyway. Even more than half the novel is mostly centered around them with even less character development for the Transformers. And really, who wants that?

Geez, I hope it's cool. Maybe the footage be on the DVD, but nothing beats an enormous IMAX screen! Oh, and while we're on the topic of the TF Movie, check this out: http://www.flickr.com/photos/81048579@N00/831329133/

IMAX is a big-a$$ movie screen, usually 5-6 stories tall. With megawatts of sound blasting at ya from behind the image and all over the theater. We're talking a positively MONSTROUSLY big visual and audio presentation.

The actual IMAX film is pretty huge. It used to only be used for epic documentary films but over the past few years as they've progressively been able to increase the amount of film that can be run during a presentation, it's been used to show a lot of full-length features. Sometimes they're shown with parts of it in really awesome 3-D (some of Superman Returns last year and the final battle in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was done this way).

It's definitely worth checking out if there's an IMAX theater relatively close by (heck I drove 5 hours to see The Matrix Reloaded on an IMAX screen a few years ago and am glad that I did )

how much to get in

I liked the actors in this film, but I will agree, TFs in general realy need to shy a way from the fleshling germs and focus more on all that robot goodness.

That was one of my favorite things about the Beast era. Outside of some sporatic cavemen, all bots, and no talk of feelings(except Blackarachnia and SilverBolt), and teamwork!

It does tend to cost more than regular theaters. At the IMAX theater in Raleigh NC where we saw Harry Potter a few weeks ago, it was like 11 bucks a ticket, I think.

Actually my hope is to see more of the horribly edited out car chase with Barricade and Bumblebee. The music and pre movie hype led me to believe there was an actual car chase.

Why did I get quoted here? What relevance do the last to statements have to mine?

for me extra footage would be nice but imax is really expensive and I cant afford like 13 bucks( dont know amount but its alot more than regular tickets) to watch the movie again but in imax
and for the 2 min I'm guessing it will be scattered through out the movie unless there was one scene that just had to be put into it for imax, but i doubt it. And as for bonecrusher he was on screen for 2 min 15 sec from appearance to decapitation.
