''Transformers 2'' To Be Even More Visually Ambitious

[J.A.F.O.]

"There are lots of layers to the story of all these Decepticons, everybody. And so they want to really keep the characters rich."

 

I sure as hell hope so: The Decepticons especially were more "props" than they were "characters" in this movie.

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

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.

 

So you mean something like the way Tom Cruise has taken the Mission Impossible series?

Without the sucking, yes.

Oh, HELL no. All three movies feature ground-breaking effects, are visionary, not to mention all-around kickass movies! Kudos for speaking up for all of them! :thumb

 

Oh, and I'm going to go ahead and throw in "Forbidden Planet" into that list! :D

What would you have picked as an enduring, non-overrated Sci-Fi-ish movie? Maybe I should have gone 80 years back with Metropolis...

[sertile]

I'd like to see more of Cybertron, or Lithone or Paradron or SOME other planet(s)... as long as it's not under the pretense of bringing Spike back to Cybertron to look for some Blot they forgot back in Wheeljack's lab.

it will be interesting to see what they can come up with. i think more subtle puns as well. i personally cringed when optimus said more than meets the eyes. i was like the lil formers comic of it lol.

[I could have had a V8]

I guess that it coyuld only go up instead of down

[FREEFALLL666]

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.

 

I think that means that they will give the camera to a guy who doesnt shake like an epileptic in a rave.
