It's been a well known fact that Megan Fox won't be in Transformer 3, which has lead to many rumours surrounding her exit and what the future holds for the Character of Mikela. NBC Chicago has posted a brief article delving into what happened between Bay and Fox, stating that the tension had "built to a pressure point" and Megan had to go. You can read the entire article here.

So they got mad at each other and parted ways? Wow, that sucks.

[SlyTF1]

Im just glad shes gone. When I heard that she left, a little bit of happiness sparked in my life. And Im glad this is the last Michael Bay Transformers movie. I hate to say it, even though I love the movies to death, and defend them with everything I have, Im just glad we get a new director. That way every time I say my favorite movie is Transformers, I dont get cursed out and 20 death threats over the internet.

Try getting bitched at about it by someone who assumes he's smarter than you because you like the movie and he has a literal text book knowledge of evolution(that he uses to apply as to why it's a bad movie and why you're a lesser being for liking it).

It has happened. But I just run across people who think theyre smarter than me just because they have a "good taste in movies" and are older than me and have a doctors degree in college and teach math class in the 12th grade. (Naw, it hanst happened)

Hate those types with a fiery passion. Real life experience and a broad study beats text book theories any day in the real world.

Bummed to hear about Michael Bay possibly leaving. Seriously. Bay is great in directing movies with car chases and explosions. Transformers is the perfect franchise because the cars cause the explosions!

Then again, I hope to see him direct other movies.

[kookaburra]

Team Megan!

She's well rid of that asshole.

Also: replacing her with a VS model? Way to not even PRETEND your female characters aren't just there for eye-candy, Bay.

So it is wrong for Bay to do things that actually sell tickets? I don't think Bay has ever lied about that!

Hi, I'm Josh...and I'm pro Megan Fox.

Team Megan!

Lol, I like how the main subject of the new girl being eye candy and nthing else wasn't even argued here....was just accepted and we moved on ha ha.

I will say for those whom complained over and over and over and over...and still do so even though Megan has parted ways about her acting chops, have been all but mum about a VS Model with no acting history....whatsoever! Just amusing.

I still say I prefer Megan over the new girl only because Rosie and Shia look really miss matched. I mean, seriously miss matched. Megan and Shia at least clicked and even looked compatable age wise. Shia and Rosie though...just, I don't wat to say cougar but.....she just looks too mature for him. Simple as that. Unless this girl has a seriously highschool pitched voice or something....she'll just continue to look like Shias college professor or something.

Ether that, or Rosie and Shia's characters and their relationship will desolve or has desolved for this movie to which this wont be an issue.....trying to re-create some type of chemistry.

Well she's not exactly known for her superior acting ability.

Heck, I knew her better as "that skinny-arse "supermodel" who got photographed doing drugs" than a VS model.

No Way! She was busted for drug possession??????

Well now I have to see this movie ha ha ha ha

[dragons]

I totally agree and I am proud to say that my favourite movie is Transformers. Sometimes I meet people thinking that this is impossible, as I am a PhD scientist involved in some international projects. According to them, I should watch dramatic movies super awarded by criticism. I always reply that good taste for movie is subjective. That's all. PhD or not, I am a seibertronian who loves transformers.

So you're saying that men are actively repulsed by quality female characters, and stay away from movies that include them? You don't have a high opinion of men, do you?

Also: It's very interesting that the people who have been griping the loudest about Fox's acting skills are totally mum about her being replaced with someone who is not an actress.

I also prefer Megan for that reason. And I still believe she doesn't act so bad, I like her especially in the first movie in which the plot is better and she has better lines than in RotF. I mean, she isn't a super-skillful actress but she was a likely character, which in my opinion is the important thing in an movie title mainly focused on entartainment.

I don't want to judge Rosie before having seen the 3rd movie, but her kind of beauty seems to be out of place and she and Shia look really miss matched.

I don't mean to brag, but my I.Q. is near genius and I loved both the movies. So that guy is totally wrong. It's a matter of preference which is no more an indication of intellect than the color of someone's hair.

I also preferred her in the first movie. Going after Frenzy with the Sawzall while Shia flailed and got pantsed = crowning moment of awesome. Hell, I preferred pretty much everyone in the first movie. (Except Simmons, who was hilarious in the second.)

Maybe because we havent seen her act. To be honest, I think its a stupid idea, but we havent seen anything yet.

Based on the comments I've read since this movie has been out, its been the smart people who actually like the movies. Not saying any one who doesnt is dumb, Im just saying that those assholes who damn every one and their families for liking this movie are definately stupid. Honestly, what kind of person damns a person's family for liking amovie!? A stupid person, thats who!

That's pretty much what I said. HE decided to respond that I was just an ape howling into the wind that needed to evolve thumbs.


Not to brag either but I have a genius level IQ(148) according to modern Psychiatry, but don't apply it(or myself, I'm lazy when it comes to academics) or feel the need to, as I don't feel the need to prove myself superior to others.

He's being given another well known 80's Franchise: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

[Vicalliose]

I don't claim that my I.Q. is higher than anyone else, and I don't damn someone's family either. I just think people are stubborn like I was.

I was actually one of the last people in my family circle to still be excited about the first Bayformers movie. Partially because one of my brothers was not into movies at that time anyway.

I remember once when I was trying to defend the movie, saying the usual stuff like "Well you haven't seen it yet" or "Oh c'mon, it's Transformers! It can't be that bad." etc. My oldest brother asked me "have you ever seen a Michael Bay movie?" to which I said no.

Later on I watched The Island, Armageddon, and half of Pearl Harbor.

Bayformers, was the movie that completely changed my view of what actually makes a film good.
Before that, I was the kind of person who liked the Shrek movies, enjoyed Van Helsing, laughed at Jar Jar Binks, and thought that virtually any action movie with a large explosion in it was good.

Should I thank Michael Bay for this? No. But at least I can thank him for not wanting to make a fourth.

Here's hoping the wrights get bought from Paramount.

He's being given another well known 80's Franchise: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Michael Bay seems to realize that he makes the most money off of large, split fanbases.

Of course, that may be giving him a little too much credit.

[AutobotTrainer]

Di Bonaventura added that he thinks "Transformers 3" will likely be the last Bay-helmed installment of the series, which put a lot of bums in seats but never made the critics happy. Paramount and the toy company Hasbro might continue with a new series of movies with another director.

"It may not be the end of the line of "Transformers" for Hasbro and Paramount," he said. " (For) Michael, I'm sure it is. He's spent a lot of years working on one thing."

This has made my weekend! Greatest thing I've heard all day, nay, all week!

Here's to hope for the future!

Yeah, which has me speculaing their romantic relationship is fully desolved during the duration of this thrid film. Still, the added bonus that she was caught on film with drug possession According to Burn, and is now in a film franchise with a target audience of children, has me totally in line for this movie now. Be it for the wrong reasons ha ha ha


I like how this thread had a slight turn from Megan Fox to who has a high I.Q. Ah, life.
