There is no reason that TF:2 can't be better in every way than the first one. I love Toy Story but Toy Story 2 is my favorite of the films. Characters have already been introduced, the visuals have been seen before - now we're ready for the character development and story...

In ten years well be all: 'That's soooo cheesy and 2009-lame.'

Jurassic Park is 14 years old and still amazes me. 2001: A Space Odyssey is almost 40 years old.

 

I should probably be banned for comparing those three movies shouldn't I :tard

In other news: Has it been 14 effing years since Jurassic Park?

 

I feel old and small.

well, Jurassic Park and 2001 are both massively overrated IMO...

 

I'm glad that the effects are going to be taken a step up, but you kind of expect that. What I'd like to see is a different director. Not because I'm all like "OMG BHEY" but I'd just like to see someone else's take on it all. I think Bay's greatest contribution to Transformers from an effects standpoint was his insistence upon absolute photo-realism, and now that the bar has been set, I think it's okay to hand the franchise off to someone else.

JURASSIC PARK = Butchering a great horror/detective story into a travesty of itself.

 

 

 

I seriously hope that Combiners are handled well, I dont want to see kids saying "Oh its like PowerRangers" hell I would rather they just introduced larger bots with a fear element to them.

I'd sure love to see what Pixar could do, if even it was helping out.

Maybe Pixar could animate the Movie version of TF Animated.

Did anyone else gag at the comment that Bay's focus was on a complex story and characters?

 

And I hope that "more visually ambitious" translates into "more robots" and "more robot screen time". I'm ambivalent about the idea of making the current movie models more detailed; they already looked pretty darned realistic the first time around.
