Transformers Full Theatrical Trailer Available
roelbj writes "The full trailer for Michael Bay's upcoming Transformers movie is now finally available on Yahoo. Unlike the teaser trailers that have only hinted at what the final effects would deliver, we can at long last get a much better feeling for how the live-action CGI Transformers will look."
It's got the sound !!!
Any movie that thinks it's OK to ruin the VW Beetle joke and try to foist a fucking CAMARO on us that is some piece of domestic shit and totally destroys the joke, rather than pulling the joke entirely and saying "fine, if we can't use a Beetle, we aren't going to use the name at all" is not good in my book.
...
Any movie that thinks Beagle 2 was a Mars rover, uses footage of a Saturn 5 rocket in the launch shots when it's really easy to get stock footage of the actual launcher used for the Beagle 2 mission (Russian R-7 derivative, NOT the Delta 2 the trailer showed), and then goes on to show shots of a really badly-done Mars Exploration Rover copy, all in a 30-second trailer
What the fuck are they SMOKING?
If I see it at all I'll do it by waiting for the cheap DVD. Good going. Insult my VW-loving side AND my space-geek side.
There are plenty of other movies I'd like to see this summer and this one isn't going to get my money.

How can we judge the movie without seeing even a few seconds of one of the song and dance routines? This is a musical, right?

Dude, you managed to "Godwin" a story about the Autobots.
What were you thinking?

Be skeptical - this is a Michael Bay film. True, but don't forget the golden rule of Michael Bay movie-making. If it starts with "The" it will be good. The Rock, The Island good movies. Pearl Harbor, Bad Boys II bad movies. Since this movie is "The Transformers" I have high hopes!
May I be the first to welcome, etc...
Take off every 'Sig'!! You know what you doing. http://www.donline.co.uk/
What's next, a movie about capacitors? Followed by "Resistors' revenge", maybe?
Nuffsaid

Don't know about his cat, but Schroedinger is definitely dead.
No one has said it yet!?? Ok, I guess I'll have to:
I, for one, welcome our new Autobot overlords!
I guess we're screwed, then. It's titled "Transformers."
Holy crap that was hilarious. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE start a movie review site. I would read every one of your reviews. They would be forwarded to millions of people on the interweb.
You love VW's and space tremendously. Just for that the world needs you.
There's nothing Intelligent about Intelligent Design.
Plotlines in disguise.
put alot of care into making sure that their transformations were realistic.
Yeah, like when Soundwave would transform from a 10 foot tall robot down to a 5 inch tall tape player. That was totally realistic...
So which one of those links was a goatse video?
i speak for myself and those who like what i say.
No, you misunderstand, it was just an easter egg.

1) Absurd and inappropriate love story
2) Countless quick, nausiating cuts
3) Horrible dialog
Lets hope transformers are awesome enough to make up for Bay's movie making "skills".
Michael Bay made the Star Wars prequels? I thought that was George Lucas..??

OMG PONIES!? When I saw that lil girl? :D
Yea, but which one is the secret identity?
When watching a movie about transforming robots from space, realistic physics is definitely what I'm thinking about..

Zoink!?! "The Island" was not good. Not even close.
Bad Boys II was the epitome of what an over-the top action movie should be...well actually, Transporter II was, but BBII was pretty close. Regardless, it was fantastic. Those types of movies don't need to make sense. They aren't suppose to. They are just suppose to be non-stop in your face action. Don't confuse these with 'real' action movies like Indiana Jones or the original Die Hard, where the story is and characters are as important as the action.
He is very hit or miss. If you go in to be entertained (via his action movies) he won't disappoint. If you go in wanting to see a serious or semi-serious story then...well...just don't go to see the move.

Dude.. it's just a movie. There are far worse things in the world to be upset about.
Another way of thinking is "Dude, there are enough bad things in the world. Let's not add to them."
the horrible mind numbing romance
without a horrible romance
noticed the romance in the preview
Let me guess you're a very single nerd, hanging around on
Let me get this straight. You are talking about a series where good anthropomorphic intelligent alien robots that change into cars and planes come to Earth and fight evil anthropomorphic intelligent alien robots that change into cars and planes and you're worried that it's unrealistic? Somehow I don't think that's really the point :)
yes. I always found the logic behind Megatron's transformation to be perfect. From a gun that fits in a human's hand to a 3 story robot monster. I hope they stick the the same physics model for the movie.
I'd love to see a tiny Megatron yelling at a giant Starscream. Would make my day! (Hitler indeed)
The rest of him turned into 1000 feet of extension cord.
