- The special effects were magnificent. Hollywood may never be able to make a human being on a computer that doesn't look like video game character, but when you have a movie starring giant transforming robots, you get to really see what CGI can do in terms of convincing you that what you're seeing is real.
That's because getting human skin to look real is about the hardest thing to do, Gollum in LotR is the best there has ever been with that
- I now get why everyone seems to have a man-crush on Shia Labouf. He was hilarious, and radiates a kind of charisma that says that he has a long career ahead of him.
My brother and I were talking about that, how he will be one of those great actors in hollywood
- I was so relieved to see that the Transformers actually had personalities. Through all the ridiculous action scenes, my favorite part of the movie still might of been the scene where the Autobots are trying to hide out in the backyard. The only problem is that the Decepticons were just totally ignored. Megatron was portrayed as a fairly one-note villain (I swear he said "I AM MEGATRON!!!" three times) and the others didn't have even a hint of a personality. Starscream had like, one line.
That's what sequels are for, but atleast Scarscream's line showed who he is and his relationship Megatron perfectly.
I'm already thinking of how they could update Soundwave: I have no idea what they'd have him transform into, but I'm thinking that in that in robot form he could basically function like a giant MP3 player. I can clearly imagine him appearing in a scene and blasting a sound at such a super high frequency that it destroy buildings and whatnot, with the characters later figuring out that the sounds are actually downloaded songs. Jokes about Soundwave killing you with a Fergie song ensue.
That is a great idea, I was just thinking of having him transform into an alien communication tower for instant long range communications
Megatron has to come back as Galvatron and he needs to transform into a gun. But not necessarily a handheld gun, more like an enormous, mounted, city destroying cannon. Like when the robot from FLCL would turn into a big phallic gun.
I liked him as an alien jet, but his gun pissed me off. in the movie he put his hands together, they should of had it come out the side of one arm to be more like the original.
I could predict that they might kill off Optimus at the end of the next one and then bring him back in the third movie.
I'd rather not have that death retcon thing
Oh, and they need Unicron.
BCUZ UNICRON PWNZ U!
**** yeah! :rockon:
Now I've been thinking about the sequel and here's my idea. First we have the Autobots making a base in a mountain that is dubbed The Ark. For the Autobot refugees to hang out, kick back and what not. They've been helping the government with technological know how, like making energon from a somewhat common ore, which is very abundant on Earth. Sam has become the official ambassador to friendly Cybertronic life forms.
Now for the Decepticons. Starscream is gathering his forces under his commander, many a ready to seek vengeance for the capture and death of Megatron. On Earth Soundwave pressures Starscream to retrieve the body of Megatron, a Submarine decepticon gets him and they discover that though the allspark trashed his circuits his sparks is still alive in stasis lock, with extensive work he is back online. Now I don't see a reason why he should be called Galvatron other than homage to the original. I say keep it Megatron; just change the design a little to the gun I mentioned earlier.
Now for the plot I'm not sure what to add to the high stakes so it would basically the decepticons getting revenge and wanting Earth to be their first planet to concur. While the government is trying to keep the whole alien robots a secret as battles start all around the world. And the Autobots trying to find their place in this new world. This film will explore more about who the transformers are and less on the human element.
I would save Unicorn for the third climatic movie.
