Taken from http://www.design-engine.com/transformers/bumblebee.png. Notice the part where it says Bumblebee.

And when I saw the movie I realized all that was wrong. People wanted more Transformers. People didn't have a problem believing in the TFs as characters or as them talking, but wanted more of it. People didn't appreciate it when the characters acted stupid. Were there people who laughed at Bumblebee peeing? Sure, quite a few enjoyed it. It was still idiotic pandering. The humans were largely forgettable and the story was weak all around, the positive reviews even called it "dumb fun". The things that I thought were bad--the magic cube and nokiabots--they were bad.

It felt like a cartoon. And if that's okay with you, then I'm surprised. I thought the whole point of a live action movie was to allow Transformers to grow up and prove it can be up there with any other great film. If all you want from live action is the special effects that come with fitting robots and robot battles into a live action atmosphere, then frankly, that's a low expectation, because knowing what ILM can do, I simply took that for granted.

As for the robots looking like themselves, that was also something I took for granted. And evidently that was a mistake on my part. I don't hate the movie for it, but it definitely reduces the amount of personal enjoyment.
All true and the film felt like a 2 hour TV sit-com rather than a sci-fi epic and I didn't think that it was "AWESOME". If it was "awesome" then I would have bought the DVD and would have watched it more than once.

I didn't like the TFs being used for comic relief as much as they did. And the HUMANS were even worse when it came to "over doing" the comedy. But the comedy in other BAY films were always kinda corny to me but then TRANSFORMERS surpassed that. I mean we all knew that BERNIE MAC and ANTHONY ANDERSON was just in the film to make people laugh (because they are comedians) but even the SECTOR 7 stuff was redundant and I wished there was less screen time with all those HUMAN moments.

We all know that more TFs mean more CGI and more money but the "feel of the film" wasn't serious. If BAY said he "didn't want to make a silly toy movie" well he succeeded in doing what he said that he didn't want to do.

Just because it's based on a toyline FIRST didn't mean that one couldn't be more serious with it.

Dude just give it up....you ain't impressing anyone with your bullshit. I don't care if GOD himself said that was "BUMBLEBEE" because I would still disagree with the ALMIGHTY....so cut the crap.

Actually, you just make yourself look stupider and stupider, with each post that makes no sense other than to show your asskissing/shit-taste to the creative team.

One day, you'll look back on how you were on this board and be ashamed of yourself.

I find it hard to believe that ELECTRO-CRAP is an actual human being and not some kind of automated cyber-subliminal message programmed into the BOARD in an attempt to change minds.

Oh yes, one day 20 years from now I will look back and be completely ashamed of myself at liking a movie and then pointing out that a moron is acting like a moron. I will then put a gun in my mouth and pull the trigger for still caring about what I posted on a message board 20 years ago.

Before I do that, though, I swear to God I will take each and every one of you bastards with me!

I know what he was TRYING to do. He just did a really shit job of it. Just like with his friends declaration about movie Prime. After he said they weren't fans and knew nothing about it.


Like I said, he makes no sense.

Now YOU are making yourself sound stupid. Since when did BUMBLEBEE look like that crap I saw in the theatre last summer? Huh?

BUMBLEBEE is a VW BEETLE (or any yellow compact car) not some CAMARO with an EWOK face. HASBRO fucked up on that one for real.

He doesn't. And what's sad is that people not countering his baseless arguments makes him (or "IT") feel justified in the crap he says.

I'm not even defending Bumblebee. I'm just saying that according to the movie, Michael Bay and Hasbro, the yellow Camaro robot in the Transformers movie was Bumblebee.

Speaking of Bumblebee and trying to get things a tad back on topic, how will Bumblebee be written in the next movie? Now that he can actually talk (God damnit) what will his relationship be like with Sam? Also, with Sam at college now, what's Bumblebee going to do?

Well, at the very least, you could point at yourself. You are pretty much the biggest moron on the board.


Also, you could speed up your plan for 20 years from now... say next week?

would it have been nice to see a vwb as BB, sure IMO for the fan level. For me, I always hated BB in the TF world, yes, yes I did, he was annoying and atotal pussy. So when he went to a tougher level it didnt bother me.

You are a moron...a person like you want to be condescending towards people who actually KNOW that STARSCREAM doesn't look like a "roach with a triangle body with chicken legs".

All you do is asskiss and YOU are the reason why ALOT of dedicated TF FANS who use to be here left. Now only baseless asskissers like you exist for the most part....and you are doing the bullshit for the most part too.
