Transformers Movie: Totally Transformed Down
I know you guys have already heard about the upcoming Transformers movie next year. If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, you can watch it on the official Transformers movie website or at YouTube. The Transformers movie trailer shows a rover that was launched to Mars in 2003 that sent transmissions back to earth showing lifeforms or more like robot-life forms in Mars. At first, I was excited but then I realized that my favorite robots as a child, the Transformers, were not from Mars. Once you’ve seen the trailer, you’ve probably never want to see it again as it sucks. Well, if you don’t believe me, read the comments about the Transformers trailer at YouTube.
So who is responsible for the movie? It’s no other than director Michael Bay. The man responsible for blowing up good movie titles like Pearl Harbor. I don’t really know anything about Michael Bay but what I know is that he is one of the most hated directors. Well, probably because some song in Team America has this funny lyrics about Michael Bay’s Pearl Harbor movie. Here it goes. You can sing it if you know the Tune.
I miss you more than Michael Bay missed the mark,
When he made Pearl Harbor.
I miss you more then that movie missed the point,
And that’s an awful lot girl.
And now, now you’ve gone away,
And all I’m trying to say,
Is Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you
I was just hoping that Michael Bay wouldn’t again blow up the Transformers movie but I guess my hopes just deteriorated instantly. I just came across SERVE with CHIPS, a blog, showing photos of some of the characters in the Transformers movie. I was very disappointed when I saw what they did to Megatron. Why can’t they just design the Transformers just the way they should look in the original animation? Even Bumblebee is not a Beetle anymore but instead a Camaro. Even Optimus Prime doesn’t look like the original one. They have just over-designed the robots.
What is excessive is dangerous and that saying too, goes for the movie. They should have kept the robots’ original appearance. Why am I against this? It’s not that I can’t accept change but the truth is I love the Transformers and changing their looks in major ways makes me just wanna despise the upcoming movie. But I’m not totally gonna hate it right away. It’s still in the works and maybe, just maybe they will realize that the Transformers should look how they really look.
But then again, I just wish Spielberg should have just directed the movie.
Update: I made this post a year before the movie was released so before you leave a comment saying how stupid I am for this review (well this isn’t actually a review), I’d like you guys to know that I’ve seen the movie and my god, here’s my reaction to the movie.

People can say what they want but when a movie does as good as this movie has done they must have done something right. I think there was many fans of transformers as well that was happy with it.

I can’t believe you would say something like that! You aren’t even going to take the time to watch the movie, so you don’t have the right to critize it. For your information, I do know that the characters are not the orininal animated characters you are used to. But, this is a live action film, so the robots have to look realistic! Get that through your head! Also, Bumblebee isn’t a bug, but he is still the same Bumblebee. Just with a makeover. If you really liked the show, you would take some time to appreciate the hard work these people have done in making the film.
Take that into some thought next time you want to diss someone or something.

Nuff aboot die hard 4, If anyone who’s complaining about the style of the film, or the fact that they look nothing like the eighties ones; was actually honest with themselves, they’d know that if they saw three seconds of the fight between prime and megatron when they were a kid, it would have been better than all the origional episodes combined.
