I love the idea of a live action Transformers movie, hopefully it won't be another brown stain on Michael Bay's bathroom wall.
What to you think?
I know old TV show remakes are all the rage lately (Starsky and Hutch, The Dukes Of Hazard, the upcoming Miami Vice etc), but are there some things in life that just shouldn't be messed with?

Finally saw Transformers.
Yeah, it's good.
Some of the comedic bits later on in the movie were mildly annoying.
And Jon Voight shouldn't have been in this movie.
But it was good
couldn’t really post this in the Movie trailers thread, since there’s no trailer but…
TRON 2

It's about as gay as Chuck Norris (ie it will roundhouse you to the face if you even mention the word gay near it).

I only wish they would have taken cars that turn into robots more seriously. Why all the nodding and winking? I guess its a sign of the times, nothing sincere, even if it is outlandish toy commericals, can be taken seriously. I was dissapoined by the teen humor bits, and left a bit empty by the action scenes -- I don't think it takes much to make people care about characters, even ridiculous sci-fi ones like these. This movie made the cartoon movie look like Shakespeare! oh well... the stuff did blow up real good. But too many bad humans in it. |

I saw TRANSFORMERS last night...it was really fun! I was never a TRANSFORMERS fan, that's more my younger brother's territory, but I did watch the cartoons with him 20+ years ago, and even saw the god-awful theatrical movie in '86 at the theater. I was a bit wary of this film, but my brother and I went to see it last night, and it was actually very, very entertaining for what it was. The main kid was great...made me laugh. Jon Voight is just downright bizarre and senile...not the character, but Voight himself. The effects were great eye candy. The only drawback was that the theater was so full, we were forced to sit in the third row, which almost sent one into seizures as every single edit in the film is no longer than 3.5 seconds. I'd definately buy the dvd.

-47 never falls in love
-47 doesn’t look like a 17 year old
-47 does not suck like Timothy Olyphant
-47 would never enter a room with brandishing his silver ballers in such a manner
-47 would never “bring us peace”

Okay, so, anyone like the Hitman games? Well, you might know that they’re making a movie of it, but Vin Diesel is no longer the lead role.
Here’s the first leaked images from the set:
Fuck! They’re already getting it wrong! The tie is meant to be redder than that. And the guy’s head has to be bonier!
Okay they won't work here, so click here:

Saw it tonight; I was expecting to be disappointed after reading bad reviews, but I did actually kinda like it, although it was deeply flawed. It tried to juggle too many characters and story threads, but, as you'd expect from Sam Raimi, their was a lot of humour and wacky ideas. I agree with floop about some of the dodgy effects, although for the most part it was well done. The big ending sequence was very cheesy, though. It seemed to try and play on 9/11 again, which is a little cheap. |

This is the way spider-man 3 should have been (in terms of villains, in chronological order):
-Throughout the movie there is a “failing relationship” sub-plot going on between Peter and Mary Jane-
-Continuation of Harry Vs Peter from second movie in a more malevolent manner
-Eddie Brock hired by Daily Bugle
-Sandman story introduced
-Escalation of Harry Vs Peter resulting in Harry’s death
-Shortly after Harry’s death, Marko is revealed as uncle Bens killer, driving peter into an emotional breakdown (after killing his best friend and realising he killed an innocent man) spider-man goes out for revenge on marko, also pushing himself further away from Mary Jane
-Eddie Brock tries to get himself a name by following the whole Sandman Vs Spider-man fiasco, comes into confrontation with an increasingly hostile parker
-Sandman and Spider-man have a finale showdown which proves to be futile for both of them as sandman is too powerful and spider-man refuses to give up. Cue “I forgive you” scene. Sandman blows away in the wind.
-An emotionally drained Peter Parker fails to repair his relationship with MJ
-Spider-man sits on a ledge of a skyscraper, looking out at the night sky, pondering the events that happened through out the course of the movie. Narration goes on for a bit. He sees a shooting star and says something like: “I wish things would change”, Cut to the meteorite hitting into the ground off in the country somewhere. Track and dolly slowly pans in on the steaming rock. BANG! Black ooze starts to shoot out
Cut to black
MASSIVE SETUP FOR A FORTH MOVIE FEATURING A SOUL VILLAIN: VENOM
then snow patrol warbles on for a bit
*This version of the movie does not contain a scene where spider-man runs in front of an American flag*
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
In SM4 you would have seen:
-Peter starts to date Gwen
-Eddie Brock out for revenge on peter
-Black suit spider-man
-Eddie Brock discovering Peter is spider-man
-VENOM
-A shit-hot fight between spider-man and venom
-Peter getting back with MJ
-Setup for a fifth film featuring the Lizard
There would also be CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!
*This version of the movie does not contain a scene where Topher Grace messes around with his teeth*

was it just me or was the opening credit sequence really bad? one of the coolest things about SPIDERMAN 2 was the comic book style opening credits. this one felt super cheesy and cheap to me, with the little picture-in-picture sequences from the other films.
overall, i was underwhelmed with the film. i remember going into SPIDERMAN 2 not expecting much and really enjoying it. i liked Sandman, and black-suit Spiderman was cool, but it was too long, some of visual effects were bad, and the writing didn't offer anything even fresh (how many times in cinema do we need to see a girl falling from a building and the superhero catches her just before she lands?) .. i guess it doesn't matter since it's the biggest film ever and stuff, but i kind of wish i hadn't paid money to see it

The first two spider-man movies were good because there was a lot of time put into the villans (as well as peter parker) That was totally absent from the third movie. Marko's setup was lame and blunt.
Also, Topher Grace looked like he was having difficulty with those fake teeth in his mouth. It was a bit distracting
