    BEAST WARS!!

    Also, apparently there is a raptor Dinobot in Age. If it doesn't quote Shakespeare I will be disappoint.

    I've been watching the second film, it's stupid.
    For a movie about giant robots and about 2 hours of US Military promotional material it takes itself too seriously.

    Da first Transformers film was great. I'd really only watch the second and third ones if it's on cable and there's nothing else on. While Shia isn't really something I look forward to in these films, I'd actually prefer him over Mark Wahlberg for Age of Extinction, so naturally I'm expecting the new one to be "bleh."

    Yeah, basically lol. Again, I don't like Shia... but eh, I don't find Wahlberg that entertaining either. :x

    (Then again, all I should care about are da Autobots and Decepticons)

    Dude's great in Ted, Pain & Gain, The Italian Job, The Fighter, and The Departed (haven't seen many of his other films.) Meanwhile, Shia's only good lead acting roles I've seen were in Holes and Disturbia.

    I ignored them, surprisingly a better movie when you pretend they don't exist...helps since they don't actually do much besides act as transport for the main cast.

    Speaking of Revenge of the hard-core-badass-in-every-continuity-who-was-turned-into-a-cowering-weakling-who-gets-killed-in-his-only-fight-in-like-three-minutes, why is it that the Allspark kills Megatron in the last movie but he gets resurrected by a piece of it in this movie? And why didn't same use the piece he had to bring Optimus back?
    Ah, so kinda like those people who deny certain tragedies didn't happen. Got it. I for one am unable to do that. I'd probably be happier if I could but I can't.

    Finished the third movie, it was better than 2 but it was still "meh."

    I have honed my skills to ignorance. It comes in handy at times.

    Put all your points in the "Ignorance" skill? Not exactly a useful skill. Makes you have to roll higher to succeed in Spot checks.

    He's fine in the first and second movies (yeah in Revenge of the Fallen he's about the only good thing.)

    I already stated my disgust with what happened in Dark of the Moon though.

    And don't think I didn't see your pun.

    Peter Cullen's performances are emotionless and monotone. He sounds nothing like a heroic, powerful, caring leader should, but rather a powerful, disinterested leader. not like Gary Chalk. mmm gary chalk. Now there's a voice I would gladly fight the Decepticons for because you can hear all the qualities of a good leader in it. And you just demonstrated why I think Cullen gets undeserved praise. "He was the original and most recognizable so he must be the best, right?" Wrong.

    Okay, admittedly Gary Chalk is pretty good. I will say you are right in regards to Cullen as Prime in the movies. Cause the movies are terrible.

    Of all the things they could have added to Optimus, flames are the most acceptable. At least he doesn't have that throw-up green color of Ratchet.

    Totally disagree. I love Gary Chalk's performances, but Peter Cullen's is also perfect for the role. Cullen delivers the gruffness of a seasoned warrior, yet has the right smoothness to make sure you don't fear him. Like an uncle who loves you but would kick your ass if you disrespected your parents, he gives Optimus a perfect authoritative sound. In fact, yours is the first time I've seen someone not like Peter Cullen. I don't care that he's the original; I care that he's good.
