The Japanese logo (seen above), title, and release date of Transformers Dark of the Moon have been revealed. The title has underwent a subtle change and will be known as Transformers Darkside Moon. You may recall Transformers Revenge of the Fallen underwent a similar change and was titled Tranformers Revenge in Japan. It also looks like our Japanese friends will have to wait a little bit longer to view the film, as the release date is July 29th, 2011.

Ahaa, I didn't know that of Transformers Revenge in Japan.
Darside Moon also sounds good. But they get the movie weeks later?
It's pretty sad for us as well, we get spoilers half a year before the movie starts. I still have to wait 4 months :s

Ha! Take THAT, Japan! They get the crappy subtitle and the crappy release date! That's what you get for having better toys and technology than us!

Yes, yes it is. And I'm a GeeWunner...
And I can't believe you just made me lose the game AGAIN! Slag your signature and whoever created The Game.
And slag Japan, too. I hate Toyotas and extremely expensive glorious TF figures. I guess they do deserve a late release date.

My purpose in life is to ensure that EVERYONE loses the game, every second of their lives. Because I can't forget it. It's been stuck in my head for a week.

Great news! Sometimes you have to wait over a year for movies to get released over here and the only choice is to download them so I'm more than happy to only have to wait a few weeks for this.

The worst things about cinemas in Japan is that they are obsessed with dubbing movies with terrible quality Japanese voice overs.

There's always a choice of watching the English version or the Japanese version but with the Japanese version the Japanese voice actors are taking credit for movies that they didn't even star in and often get their faces on stickers on the DVD boxes which is just so wrong.

I'm not sure how much that happens in other countries but Japan (where they really need to study English) does it with tv interviews, commercials, movies, tv shows etc etc . I always prefer to watch any movie in it's natural language with subtitles.
