This time he reveals that the film is slightly longer than the original.
“It’s four minutes longer than the last one,” explained Bay, saying that the runtime was locked. “So, go figure it out.”
A long story short, the film is 147 minutes long. What could a whopping four extra minutes mean? More action? More character development? More credits? We'll find out when Revenge of the Fallen hits theatres June 24th 2009.

"Go figure it out?"
Does he not realisea little more humility might get him some respect? His movies arent exactly the epic masterpieces he seems to think.

Of course not...He knows we're going to go see his film no matter what...And to be fair, he's right...

You ever watch the DVD commentary, you know where usually they get the cast and crew in to talk about how they felt the film went, and add a few little anecdotes for the fans.....well the one on Transformers is basically 140 min of Michael Bay (alone) kissing his own ass and reminding us of how tight he is with the military. Infact he stops talking about the film completely at some points to talk about how cool certain military vehicles are, or when he first used them (Transformers is the first time the Raptor has ever been used on film apparently, and he's the only person ever to be allowed to film one of the Stealth bombers.... i forget the details)
"Mojo on pain pills was my idea...why, cos i think its cool"
Similar comments for the Birdhouse/Doghouse thing, the Lubrication joke and the 'Sams Happy time' thing.
Basically if it was a completely out of place, uncomfortable or incomprehensible joke, it was Bays.
And please im not saying he's a bad director (as such) simply that he has his head way too far up his own ass.

I almost guess the 1st ones running time right I said it was about 155 minutes it was almost 157 or 8 minutes.
I am pretty good at guessing the running time for movies cause I been doing movies for a long time and I am good at guessing their almost exact running times.

Not too good at Translating Minutes to hours though are ya lol.
145 min does not equal 1 hour 45 lol. Its actually 2h 25m.

Kermit the Frog for TF3! He could have Skids break into "It's not Easy Being Green" at some point.

I would pass on any more of Megan Fox's bacon. Now, a beach scene with Josh Duhamel, well, that's another story....
HK, who feels uncomfortable being forced to look at cachectic female bodies.

Every time the first movie's "fix Bumblebee" scene rolls I think "So, is Bay horny or a complete dirty geezer in training?" I tend to think the latter more now.
Actress may be of-age, but shameless exploits of an under-age character will always seem wrong to me. So I sincerely hope the 4 minutes extra is something worthwhile and not something to make the boys in the crowd sit less comfortably.

So in a sense, he DOES have us eating out of his hand...
Posted by cybercat on April 14th, 2009 @ 9:39am CDT
Of course, I'm totally going to go see it. If I refused to see a movie because the director, instead of inserting plot, filled it with unmotivated and gratuitous skankage, I'd never have seen, well, jeez, any slasher flick, any Vietnam flick, any action flick, etc.
I'd be left watching Lifetime Channel (vomit) or any of those films that promote an equally sexist, though with less skin, image of women--Waiting to Exhale, Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, etc. I like action, thank you very much; not a bunch of soggy sisters sobbing about how their lives are *meaningless* without men. Gagsville.
I'll endure Megan Fox's eating disorder, but there'd better be plenty of hot shots of 'bots to compensate me.
HK, cringing already about how her profession will be Bay-ized.

We could get another similar ending with TF 2 but unkown what that will be or how it will be set up.
Arcee is confirmed in the movie but she is also confirmed to be a bot that is going to be killed in the movie cause Mr. Bay let it known that he didnt care to much for Arcee so he is going to kill her in the movie one can only hopes she goes out well in a huge battle scene.
Why are people even talking about TF 3 when it wont even be out for anothter 2 year or so.
It also looks like the transformers animated series might be taking a break for awhile after animated season 3 ends it run later this summer.
I hope I am wrong, maybe they have already been working in secret on the next transformers series.
But in my view it looks like after Animated and Revenge finishes up it looks like Transformers may end up taking a short break for awhile.
I hope I am wrong but they could use the time to do so more DVD Box sets such as the re-release of Generation 1 and make some more DVD sets of series that we never got before such as RID and Victory which would be cool.
So shut up about Transformers 3 when part 2 hasnt even been released yet.
God peole are so annoying talking about stuff that isnt even going to be released for another 2 years or so.

I won"t buy the DVD, Blu Ray, HDDVD, HDDDVVDDBVD, Netflix streaming, or any incarnation that requires paying to see it.
I will be downloading it once it surfaces online. But in the mean time, I'd rather watch Dragon Ball Evolution 100 times over simply because, while I am a fan of the original Dragon Ball, I would rather watch a movie that is unintentionally bad and has next to nothing besides the character names similar to the base material than subject myself to watching any more of his juvenile, predictable and very lousy "movies", and I use that term very lightly.
I'm done ranting about this movie now.

i will see it, but probably once. I know ive been real hard on this new movie. Transformers were my only thing when i was a kid. I wasnt the Star wars guy, or the turtles guy or even gi joe or Robotech. Tranzor Z Maybe. I can remember watching season 3 when it originally aired 3:30 after school. I guess I just need to drop the bar lower. or maybe My expectations were too much. But just to let some of you know i never had a prob with gestalts. But i had a prob with 2 combining on RID or Armada or whatever it was. It reminded me of C.H.I.P.S lol. ill try to b a little more positive
