Transformers: The Dark of the Moon

The last and final installment of Micheal Bays Transformers film series.

I like the idea of going back to a Cold War kind of thing. But I hope they don't blow it out of proportion (which they probably will)

lol power glove

I am kind of upset that Unicron is not going to show up, although this could be a very loose description

Again, its probably just me hoping.

 

Shockwave = <3
No Megan Fox = <33
SILVERBOLT <3333
But yeah, the lack of Unicron is kind of upsetting. We can hope, but...I doubt we'll see the badass in the movie, and unless the building that's tipped over is tipped over because of a massive foot crushing the surrounding area, it isn't Unicron.
Then again, I'm not sure how I'd feel if Bay somehow screwed him up. >>
Also kind of disappointed that there aren't any Dinobots, even if it would be a stretch they were a core part of the original series. :/

But lol Optimus's father what. ._. That's not how that works. e_e

 

Thinking about it now, I'm kinda glad they aren't using Unicron and Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime, etc. We already have that movie and if he was going to make a remake of it, it would of been just one movie. It's better we have something different, but not too different (Friggin Animated). It is a shame the Dinobots are absent though. Either way, sounds like they've boosted the fan power bots and might actually give more than a handful of them dialogue. Though, still kinda annoyed that it'll most likely be another movie where we go to see the Transformers and get Shia playing the same character he's always been since the Even Steven's (that was him right?) while the army men of America somehow magically gain the technology to kill the robots. Michael Bay will do anything for explosions in a desert I guess.

Also, I hope the fight scenes aren't all one-hit KOs again. I pretty much only watch these movies for the giant robots killing each other and the nostalgic awesome of the Transformers themselves.

 

So long as it contains more robots fighting each other than squishy humans talking and trying to develop an uninteresting plot, I'll probably end up watching it.

That, and Michael Bay really needs to sack whoever wrote the "Humour" in the second film... actaully, the whole film was pretty crap, so hopefully he's just gotten a new writer altogether.

 

The plot involving the US vs. Russia "space race" makes me afraid of what they'll be fighting over... if they screw this up it'll be really bad. I'm just glad they got rid of Megan Fox, and wtf!? Patrick Dempsey's in it? My mom's gonna freak out and pre-order our tickets...

Shockwave being in it was a given and OMFG Sentinel Prime!?

I'm so seeing this one...

Oh hey, I'll just leave this here then.


This kinda reminds me of that Mars Transformers 1 teaser, which was pretty awesome.
Hopefully, Dark of the Moon is more like the first movie, and not like Revenge of the Fallen.

 

Saw the trailer yesterday. At first it looked boring but near the end I was amazed. I wasn't one of those kids who loved the cartoon series (and I never got into gundams in general) but it looks good. What Bay doesn't seem to understand is that no one gives a crap about the plot! Just show the audience giant robots fighting and you'll have the best summer movie of 2011.

 

I disagree with you on every possible existing level.
That's what they did with Revenge of the Fallen, and it was probably one of the most painful things to watch, due to the horrible plot, comedy and extra characters.
Heck, the great thing about the first one was the plot. And the way it was delivered. I don't go to see a movie just because of the action.

 

What made the original series so great was the plot. The first movie was the only one that really had a plot, RotF was like a cluster**** of robot fights and borderline racism and ******ed humor, and I use that term lightly.
If Bay somehow combined the plot composition of the first movie and some of the action of the second, I think it'd be a really great film.
Imo since it's the last movie he should just pull out any stops and "potential confusion with fans" and make Megs Galvatron. It's happened in every series, it's as sure as happening in any Transformers title as Prime's death/resurrection. And the combination of Galvatron-Soundwave-Shockwave was a running threat throughout the original series, it'd be one hell of a movie if that was brought back.

And I think at this point I'm okay with there being no Unicron, because even if it does happen and it is really well done, Orson Welles is the only person that will ever be Unicron.

 

I am very happy this is the final movie. The first two were rather horrible. The VGcats comic really hit the nail on the head about this series.

<3 RiD series and Amarda.

 

Reading that statement about the giant robot has me thinking that instead of Unicron, they might use a Devastator reconstruct, a Devastator 2.0, if you will.

 

*cough*HotRodwasBumblebee'sreplacementfortheoriginalmovie*cough*

I'm hoping for more plot and fights to be in human speed, hopefully the movie will be a bit longer than the other two where since the first felt like it didn't explain some of the important parts well enough and the second just had too much time fighting in fast forward (if it was regular speed it would of been sweeter) and wasting time with the twins being goofs, another freaking desert, the army and Megan Fox's boobs (well, we know at least the last one is gone but probably replaced). Also, I can already tell this isn't going to happen from the trailer but hopefully Bay will lay off the whole "BAYMERICA IS THE CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE" thing, where only the army can do anything (with the remainder being handled by the robots), the bad type of sweaty women are made to be attractive and black guys die first.

Also hoping that some of the army guys finally get stepped on. Seriously, no matter how many times they run to a few feet away from the robot and fire missiles rapidly from a single shot disposable rocket launcher like some sort of powerplaying Michael Bay army man in a game of D&D when everything else is robots, someone need to get smushed. A main character gets splatted plz.

 

I would much rather see Trypticon, Overlord, Metrotitan, or Menosaur. Most everyone knows Devastator, it's about time some of the other giant bots got known.
And didn't speak with a hideous Scottish accent.
Goddamn you, Cybertron.

 

Look, Micheal Bay needs to just stick to what he's good at; having **** blow up. Have the Giant Robots smacking each other, downplay the human element, and just have a solid, good looking action movie. This is Transformers, we don't NEED a stellar plot-line to enjoy it, we just need one that pans out well, cuts out the crap, and allows the spotlight to focus on the giant robots instead of the squishy humans. The fight scenes in these films have always been good, but the films are made terrible by the 'comedy', the characters, and let's face it, Megan Fox. One of these problems has been fixed. Ok, I don't care if those two incredibly racist twin robots show up again, but have them ****ing do something this time. Have 'em double team Megatron or Soundwave or something.

I am REALLY suprised Unicron isn't turning up here. I mean he is a character literally built for Micheal Bay, and seeing Unicron trying to eat the planet would have been awesome. I'm probably gonna end up seeing this anyhow, but I'm really not filling with hope on this one. The first film was passable, the second one was abyssmal, so while I do wish this movie can reclaim some lost glory, I know it's pretty damn unlikely.

 

The trailer was amazing, I am really looking forward to watch it. Perhaps it was the whole Space Race intro. .

I don't usually do this, but QFT. You've hit all the points I would have covered.

-More robots
-More stuff blowing up
-Less humans
-Less comedy
-No Megan Fox
-No fanservice
-MOAR UNICRON


The only thing I disagree with is your misuse of the word 'literally'. (Unless Unicorn was built for Michael Bay, and I don't know about it.)

 

Well, yes, I didn't mean Unicron was literally created for Michael Bay, but he's a character that is perfect for what Bay usually does in his movies. Thank you for agreeing with me however.

 

Megan Fox was the only reason I didn't like the earlier movies. And since she is not in this one, It's going to be a great movie.
