*sigh*

Why do they keep doing this??? - Leave our dreams alone FFS!! - I hate Hollywood adaptations so much, I'm never forgiving them for what they did untold things which they have no business going anywhere near - like;

Godzilla - where????
Streetfighter - which part???
Inspector Gadget - ...
Aeon Flux - Nope, it aint
- the list is long and depressing.

Devil May Cry and Soul Calibur are up for the butcher's knife next. We're distributing this movie - that's pretty much 100% confirmation it'll be absolute shit.

For the love of Cybertron, that is fucking ugly. I want to meet the prick who came up with this and shove one right up his arse, trailer and all.

He must transform into a cheese grater or something. That's the only way you could justify that mess.

Bay is taking the piss with this now. I can't wait to see what his "art" department come out with for the other characters.

This is what Megatramp transforms into...

The rest of the Transformers are equally as shite in terms of design. It's amazing how Bay has fucked up this massively already.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA

That should give the boffins at Hasbro something to sweat over. How to release a toy that transforms from a twisted mess of metal into a completely shit and completely different twisted mess of metal. Good luck with that Laughing out loud

What happened to his Gun transformation?

Highly unlikely any of the staff have actually ever seen any of the original work.

I cant even bitch about it here at work - I just get people trying to shut me up all day about how shit all these films are!

Even my phone is disconnected! XD

Apparently the film no longer has size changing during transformation, which is why Megatron is no longer a gun.

I don't have a big problem with the design changes to be honest, but what I've read of the story itself... I'm just ignoring the whole thing until it has gone away.

It's almost impossible to see how that thing up there becomes a truck. The whole point of the original designs (in my limited opinion) was the characters maintained an identity in Robot and vehicular form. Prime's chest is the front of the truck, that's what makes the whole transformation thing so neato! These new designs just don't work for me. They're really over fussy.

Yep, new Transformers for a new generation of kids who will lap that stuff up no matter what their dads say.

The good thing about the movie is that we got the license to do the Comic and its allowed all the original Transformer guys to get back into it after finnin for some more for years. They've obviously had to simplify the 'look' of Megatron and use the new characters but there is also room for some 'classic' tales so the old styles will return (even though they are just in drawn form).

Oh dear...

as a horror fan i dislike Mr Bay for remaking the texas chainsaw massacre into dog tripe.

But this is just fecking nuts ! I read they were going for the insectoid look...but they should have just left it for..err..wait...THE SMEGING INSECTERCONS !

Bah...gimmie the anime movie anyday.

can i add the Mario brothers to the above film list of hollywood mess ups?, Denis hopper and grumpy englishman do not make a good movie.

Every Hollywood remake is whack -

One good thing about this is a got a free copy of Transformers the Movie Reconstructed DVD from work! That's getting rinsed this weekend!

Godzilla they fucked up beyond all reason too, and Streetfighter. Also HOW could a Live Action Aliens vs Predator with aaalll those wicked books and comics to draw inspiration from be so awful?

Nasty people these filmmakers, they take your dreams and crush them before your eyes - and you pay money for the honour! Laughing out loud

hehe, i gotta admit its not as bad as it used to be. Recently some directors have done their homework or have just been fans for once, rather than just doing it for the paycheck.

Hellboy was great and kept close to the theme.

Sin City was also very groovy and near identical even script wise.

AvP ...oh dear, i still have my Dark Horse books and that film should be sent to the fires of the nearest hell.

Im just Hopeing that 30 days of night and 300 dont get messed up.

But the trailer for 300 looks amazing, cant wait for it.

Hahahaha news just in. My daughter knows Transformers are (conditioning is working well yes). I show her trailer on Internet and shes says "Transformers Daddy!" so sure, that is great but I show her new Megatron and she was really upset and she wanted to hide at "monster Daddy I don't like it".

You see what they have done? She will grow up mental or something now. Time for some more conditioning, Star Wars I think Sad

Well....hes working on AvP 2 mate.

Saw him talk at a horror festival in london promoting resident evil, this guy Paul Anderson is like a higher class version of Uwe "House of the dead" Boll.

where as Uwe might make movies of games that aint great, paul anderson and Mr Bay to mention just two bods will rape and pillige something sacred just for a few quid.

however i wont ague with Uwe, he did knock out some of his critques recently in the boxing ring.
check out youtube for those magic matches...you wont see them on Johnathon Ross film 2006 Laughing out loud

I noticed that too -

Proper cant feel any kind of excitement watching that trailer, especially as I just watched the original a couple nights ago and STILL cant get the music out of my head! XD -

On a positive note the new TMNT movie looks off the fucking hook! I cant wait to see that! Smile

That's what I was like when I saw the trailer; absolute shock that it actually looks good! O_o - I love the PROPER comics too!

I dont trust anything that comes along anymore, but you cant help but be feeling this.

WTF!!?!?! is with the commentors on that page??? - that's why films from the US are so unbelievably shit now, "OMG teh Turtes r teh kiddie!!1 lol!"" - fucking dickheads > (

..i know its no optimus prime..but on the subject of remakes an other stuff.

This i found was quite interesting for any fans of Aliens vs Pred.

http://www.joblo.com/avp2-video-interview

News of the day, its going to be R-rated, none of that PG13 crap.

AvP fans may get the movie they have deserved all these years, not gonna hold my breath though.
