When asked if he would be interested in doing a third movie in the Transformers series or move on to a different franchise Michael Bay had this to say "I could see myself doing a third movie, but I want to take a year off no matter what." Michael Bay also states that Transformers 2 currently is running for 2 hours and 20 minutes but Michael is still hard at work in the editing room. Michael will shave the unnecessary jargon down and out. My guess is we will probably get a movie that runs a little over two hours. Which is great.

Some people didn't like the way Michael Bay handled the first installment of the Transformers franchise. Some would say all he does is blow things up and its all rubbish. But that point of view is to far from the truth when it comes to Transformers. I went to see Transformers opening weekend and it was the first movie I have sat in were people cheered when Optimus Prime introduced himself since Spiderman. The character content was there, Shia and Megan turned in good performances as did the rest of the cast, and seeing Starscream transform in mid flight to destroy a couple of F16's and then transform back into a jet and take off again was freeking awesome.

I'm excited to see Transformers 2 and I'm also happy that this isn't the end of the journey. I could sit through endless Transformer movies as long as it has a decent script and Megan Fox is working underneath my hood:)

not to mention one of the greatest lines in the history of cinema...

what would be the first thing that you would say if you had been first naturally then cryogenically frozen for an innumerable number of years? the obvious thing, of course:

"I AM MEGATRON!!!!!!!!!!!"

Having read this, I'm not really sure that I'd say it's confirming a 3rd film. Uwe Boll says he'd like to direct things but that sure as hell doesn't mean he's gona be allowed anywhere near them :P
WebSlinger22
WebSlinger22 - 2/10/2009, 12:11 PM
Yeah I would agree with you slifer151, it's not really confirming anything, but I understand what he means I love going to movies on opening night, It's pretty sweet when everyone claps and cheers for the heroes

I will never understand why fans of this movie feel that Megan Fox was such an integral part of it. She was eye candy. That's it. I like T & A as much as the next guy, but when I go see a movie like this, I'm going to see it to have a NERDGASM not an ORGASM. All I want is a decent plot and robots kicking the sh*t out of each other. Are we going to have another stupid masturbation scene in this like the first one. I think she's hot but I don't feel the need for her to be in it. Who's with me on this one?
crappybumbum
crappybumbum - 2/10/2009, 1:10 PM
whoa that is awesome!!! and I agree with alten, Fox was just eye candy...mostly...kinda...sorta...sexy...yes very...

LOL

i am sort of alten.. i mean i thought fox and la bouf were good in it but they should not have been the focus of the movie..it was called Transformers not [frick]ing growing pains! like the article says, it was cool to see starscream doing his thing..but that was all he did! wouldnt it have been better to cut down the masturbation garbage and make starscream an actual character instead! hopefully this will happen in the new movie..but judging by the shia love fest of a trailer i doubt it

who cares if he does alot of explosions, as long it goes wit the movie, and transformers is one of them!... sum of the things he was done so far in the franchises is one of the best ive seen,right up there with batman of course! but still im sooo f#$kin ready for this movie!!!!!!!!
JLAvenger23
JLAvenger23 - 2/10/2009, 1:41 PM
Totally great news...Let's expect this 2nd movie is even better than the first, and adding that the first was great. Just hope don't do a drama-little-action thingie like Spiderman 3, that's all I ask please.

Transform and roll out people! ;)

ohhhh...joy, another movie filled with horendous pointless dialogue, non existent character development and confusing action sequences. Did anybody cheer in the first movie when SHIA LEBOUF saved the day, not optimus? Michael bay had me with "the island" but lost me after that. I could go on and on but its going to make its money back on opening day and fill the pockets of some fat hollywood guy in a suit who only cares about the bottom line. Can't wait!!!!

andyoung2002 - 2/10/2009, 2:55 PM
i believe transformers did an amazing job of pleasing the masses and the fanboys. OMG magog, the entire show was about the decepticons wanting energon and the autobots protecting the humans. replace energon with the cube and boom thats what the movie was.

joob234 - 2/10/2009, 2:55 PM
@ Slifer and Webslinger, first things first, Uwe Boll is complete crap. uwe boll compared to michael bay is like dirt to gold. uwe boll sucks while michael bay actually knows how to make a somewhat good movie, even if it contains tons of explosions and not enough robot air time!!!!

ElBeaster - 2/10/2009, 3:03 PM
Dude, Transformers was great, magog. I agree that there wasn't much character developement and some cheesy ass dialogue, but those things were minor. But I can't be mad because your name rocks! Kingdom Come! lol.

I thought the first Transformers was great. I loved how the autobots didn't get introduced right away. It made you want to see them more. Geoge Lucas said it best you need people in live action movies or it won't sell. Shia is essential, Megan Fox isn't. I still love her though and am very happy she is in it again.
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 2/10/2009, 4:36 PM
Well Jar Jar Lucas would know wouldnt he! Im not saying they shouldnt have been in it, they just shouldnt have been in it THAT much

Yeah as much as i loved the 1st movie and mmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmm loved me som Megan Fox even with her flat bootie! butt you turds are right..... i went to see transformers, not fast paced transforming robots and big explosions. Oh god i just remembered bumblebee's voice in the movie. Now that was an awful choice! But part two will rock out with its Coc% out i am sure. Honestly i cant wait for the REBOOT of this series and we get to see a more nostalgic take on the new films. True character development and make humans their pets like in the original series.

Flat bootie???? R we talking about the same Megan Fox?

megan fox flat booty??? google her, youll see otherwise....shes a super hotty man
JamesH
JamesH - 2/10/2009, 9:10 PM
I love Transformers and everything in that movie including the Shia-Megan chemistry (or awkwardness), Megan Fox, the Shia saves the day moment, Optimus' original voice and the real live versions of the bots!

If we take out the human element and the funny bits, it would juz end up like Shoot em up with robots. I dont like that.

BTW, Uwe boll does suck!

I'm totally for a Transformer 3 movie, if this one isnt dumb, and well scripted. I hate how Directors say "decent script"....like Michael Bay knows what a decent script is....I love how Robot Chicken made fun of his ass. I hope speilberg is still producing so he can keep michael bay on CHECK so he doesnt ruin the franchise.
Aiiwolf
Aiiwolf - 2/11/2009, 1:59 AM
Megan Fox doesnt have a flat butt, but her booty is SMALL...compared to other celebs. She's like 5'5..and I would say like 100lbs....you put her next to jessica biel...or jennifer garner....or any celeb that ACTUALLY has a nice round butt....Megan Fox has a small butt...but not a flat butt. Any dude could tear that ass up, shes a small girl...Even Labeauf can tear that shit up lol ...I can totally understand why peopel would call her FLAT ASS lol

"I could sit through endless Transformer movies as long as it has a decent script and Megan Fox is working underneath my hood"

^ under my hood lmfao...Megan Fox and her D-listed acting skills...right next to over-rated angelina jolie....and her shitty acting lol...Whats happen to Hollywood. Oh, yeah they keep makign stupid decisions....like Not giving the Fans what they want...and having it always being about the all American Dollar. Damn bitches!

Dude watch Changeling or Gia and then tell me Jolie is a shit actress..and if you already have and still think shes shit then your not fit to judge anything, ever.
Aiiwolf
Aiiwolf - 2/11/2009, 6:11 PM
I'm not fit to judge anything, how does that even make sense? And you expect me to not respond in an offensive manner, after reading that? The only good movie shes ever made, which was a supporting ACTRESS ROLE which she won an oscar for was "girl Interrupted"...and thats the only good movie she ACTED WELL...oh wait...she didnt ACT...she was HERSELFFFF...because she was going through a break up with billy bob thorton...or whoever she was dating.

As for, Changeling it got a 61% worldwide ranking...alright buddy...that movie was a concept taken from another flick...the only good thing about changeling was the PLOT and Direction by Clint Eastwood.

I have Gia....so what...its piece of crap lol...If you want to know the REAL WORLD of pornstars, and watch a documentary of some sort...then I recommend you SexTV:Uncovered, Defend our porn, thjeres one other but I cant remember the name of it...but it talked about how WOMAN/men specially MEN how to get treated on being pornstars. Women get paid more than men, and men have to work hard in that industry to survive...as for women if they arent popular they could get dropped or just thrown aside...but whatever....back on subject....

Exactly how is she a good actress, please explain?

Besides that fact that she adopts children [Gimmick]...and she a total BITCH to everyone on her movie sets [True]...with her private security. The fact that she and every other celebrity thinks of themselves as a God given gift to mankind of a sort....SHEs no where as talented as Kate Winslet, Myril Streep, or Julia Roberts.... All shes got going for her is SEX APPEAL. DUMB in the head & TITS EVERYWHERE....That is how she became famous by the way...showing her tits off in cyborg 2....and Jc penny Catelogs.

Bub, I know more about celebs then you, I have SAG members/friends working on sets....I dont talk from my ass...I know exactly...how she is in real life....I heard stories about her, and many other celebs thinking their GOD's gifts because their born NEW money, or because of their parents. [frick] her and [frick] Megan Fox, and her pale anorexic ass! :)

Lastly, I do apologize for the long reply. I understand if you dont read it. But I do know what I'm talking about....and I have every right to say she has shitty acting skills, and that shes OVER-RATED [Because of her dad]

Godl1ng - 2/11/2009, 6:27 PM
ur an idoit, for typing so long with no point. and i wish i could frick megan fox. and angelina does not have shitty acting skills, that's stupid, that's trying to make an argument out of something pointless. she is a little over rated, but deal with it, instead of wirting an essay and trying to seem knowledgeable. and no, i didnt read the whol thing, cause no one does that.

ON TOPIC:
transformers was released as the opening of a trilogy, this isn't news.
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 2/11/2009, 8:19 PM
Yeah man you sound like a disgruntled Angelina body guard or something! So you have friends on film sets..oh sorry you must be right then, what are you 12? And if you know so much about the industry you would know that Changeling is a TRUE STORY. You seem to have a strange hatred of Jolie thats making you blind to an obviously class performance in Changleing..have you even seen it? or are you going by the world ranking of 61percent? To be honest i dont give a [frick] if shes a bitch or not, i enjoy her movies (mostly), thats all that matters. And i never said Gia was a good movie, i said Jolie was good in it.

Aiiwolf - 2/11/2009, 10:49 PM
@ Godl1ng

I already knew Transformers was a trilogy...you dont have to tell me that. And, of course your not going to read it...and if your not going to read it then YOU SHOULD NOT REPLY...If you didnt read the whole thing then you didnt understand the point...so maybe you should should just STFU lol....pretty much settles that.


@Rorschach01
I usually read up on your comments and I agree with you majority of the time when you post stuff. I've seen your joker picture as well..I hope its the same guy...if that was your picture. I think this would be a first where we disagree.

Its not a hatred towards anyone...its a fact....shes been spoon fed her whole damn life...and second changeling "which is based of a true story" [I knew it was, didnt have to tell me...IMDB has everything on there]...I critique films...I watch movies before they come out in my HD tv in my room...I dont think I have a problem seeing flicks my friend....or

The problem I had was Angelina Jolie gets credit what too much for stuff she shouldnt even be credited for....I remember how I used to like her before she improved on her acting....when she was in hackers...and up to gone in sixty seconds of her career time....I would say when she came into the spot light and you start seeing HER in movie roles meant for other girls...but yet Jolie got them because of her FATHER. Its kinda biase....it was my form opinion....and thats how I feel...she may not SUCK at acting...but she is a shitty actress....she has to show a tit scene in every damn movie for it to be good...I can say a few things about Anna Hathaway too....shes doing the same thingm jolies doing....but that aint acting.

Solid Acting comes from the heart....and Jolie dont got what it takes. thats all I had to say...I cant see her in Drama roles, just like How I cant see Jim carrey in Dramas lol....Its not meant for them...she a great action star...but I dont feel anything out of watching her movies....maybe later on down the road when she MATURES....and isnt such a bitch....then she'll suit those type of genre of movies but until now...no its aint doing nothing for me.

But I do hope she gets the role for Catwoman in "Return of the Knight" or whatever its going to be called...just ebcause it needs a sex appeal and she CRAZY enough to be CATWOMAN and believable.

HEY GODL1ing DOES MY POST ABOVE THIS one...piss you off lol....Cuz I can keeeeep on writing...moree and morrrreeee and morrrrreeee and moreeee.....Shit I can even team up with SuperMIKE...and start saying retard stuff even if i dont agree with half the shit he says lol.

Next time dont jump into our business...its not your conversation. It was A & B....so "C" the [frick] out! :) KAppish?
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 2/12/2009, 7:03 AM
Well, ill admit before i saw her in Changeling i though she was ok but as you said alot of that was sex appeal..but she blew me away in that movie..just shows what an actor can do with a great director..as for carrey, well i actually prefer him when hes not gurning away in comedies, i though Truman Show and Man on the Moon were his best roles

I totally agree with you! I love the TrueMan show...You knoe Man on the Moon was one of those movies I think should of got nominated for...I dont recall ever hearing about him getting nominated? That kinda sucks.

You know which movie I enjoyed watching Angelian Jolie in ...uahaha....Original Sin lmao Remember that? ;)

Godl1ng
Godl1ng - 2/17/2009, 5:53 PM
write a long pointless essay all you want, just don't do it on something like angelina is not a good actress, i was more disagreeing with you, and making fun of you for being wrong and writing so much about it. and the transformers 3 thing wasn't towards you, it was a general statement towards the articles redundant nature. see, one small paragraph. summed it all up. :^)
Aiiwolf
Aiiwolf - 2/19/2009, 7:53 PM
If you want it short I'll say it again. Angelina jolie's a HOT BITCH...as in she hot with a shitty personality. I'd gag her. But as an actress she sux! :)

Shes no Audrey hefburn, thats all I'm saying lol...she aint no Breakfast @ Tiffany's lol...


Aiiwolf
Aiiwolf - 2/19/2009, 7:58 PM
As for Megan Fox goes, they should keep her in this trilogy. Shes EYE CANDY and I dont like when they switch out chracters...kinda like how they screw TERRANCE HOWARD, for IRON MAN 2. Goyer aint writing this is he? Peter jackson? lol....Bay says he wants a decent script? lol....Just decent huh? Thats what we'll get a decent script with alot of firworks....no character development. lol

I like the 1st Transformers movie, overall. I agree that Megan Fox was nearly extranious, though her function seemed to be to motivate Shia to grow a pair.

I thought the robots were just a little overdesigned - their movements were a little hard to track during the action sequences. I also tend to hate the Jerry Bruckheimer / Michael Bay school of directing that seems to devote more time to slo-mo shots of people getting out of helicopters than compelling dialogue and plot development. They also tend to suffer from excessive overbearing muscial scoring, which can turn cliche dialogue from pleasantly tolerable to groaningly annoying.

I was also upset that they killed Jazz.

As I said, I liked the movie but I'd like to see more time devoted to clear shots of the 'bots and less time to slo-mo of tedious human activity.

Rock On Superfans!
