Nicola Peltz is already managing to bother me.
As for the rest of this? It's intriguing. The other three Transformers have left me scared for anything Michael Bay touches.
Let's hope they can solve the big for issue for me in these films. Context and spatial consistency in battle scenes. All 3 films I've had trouble following who's who, who's where and who's fighting who. Its just turns into noise and motion for me and takes me out of the film. This is why I tend to prefer Emmerich, Anderson, or Cameron when it comes to action. Well-staged, better structured, spatially easy to follow, and engaging emotionally. I don't like when action scenes are just chaos, it feels better when there's a structure or purpose to it. *end rant*

I thought that Unicron was hungry enough to eat planets. He loooks like he went on a diet.

It goes something like this: TF 1: It definitely has its shortcomings, but I still enjoyed it. There are moments (like the base attack at the beginning) where I felt like a kid again. Despite its flaws (mostly involving the dialogue) it could have been the start to a great trilogy. TF2: Welp, there goes all hope. Except for the effects, battles and transformations, I hated it. TF3: Too little too late... and it really isn't very good anyway. The fact that this new one is a reboot with a whole new cast is already a step in the right direction. I'm not the biggest Mark Walberg fan, but my boy Titus Welliver being in there makes up for that. That babe from Bates Motel can't be any worse than the bimbos from the first movies, and Grammer and Tucci are always great. My "guilty pleasure hype meter" is now going strong. |
Mark Walberg would be just fine gor this role. He's got dat retro appeal that geeks like, isn't too serious, and is decent at physical acting.
The trailer does look entertaining and I am a fan of Mark Wahlberg. Hopefully it is better than the train wreck that the was Transformers 3.
Why are humans such retards in Transformer movies?

I love TF. I think all three were ok for what they were. But this one looks well above the rest.
I also don't think its a reboot. I think its the same story line, just much, much later. Likely at some point we turned against the transformers and that is why optimus chose a different form and was all blown up.
Wahlburg brings him back to life and the remaining few autobots (bumblebee) come out of hiding and fight the human creations (dinobots) and the obvious new threats already mentioned in this thread.
I loved the Transformers as a kid and I hated the first film, could not even finish the second and never bothered with the third. Sadly even from the preview I see the same flaws. Bunch of humans I care nothing about, same awkward character designs and poorly shot action scenes. Least it has the Dinobots...that is something I guess.
