Would it kill them to keep showing Neil and Buzz?

I'm looking forward to seeing this one. I hope it's better than the last one. At least, for me, I thought that there was way too much action and not enough storyline in it. It was like they were so intent on impressing people with the special effects, that they forgot that the movie should hold a storyline as well...

Oh, I almost forgot, I thought that you would all find this link interesting. It seems like the toys will have hidden clues in them:

:confused You do remember that you're talking about Michael Bay here, don't you? The guy that thinks 'splosions count as dialogue. I don't even think he knows what a plot is, let alone how to implent one.

Okay, first off, I'm not harping on you. I know that you you were just quoting the headline in the link you posted. So please don't take this personal.
That said...
Can someone please tell me why it is that so many people in this country apparently have no idea how to use their own native language. A clue? Really? Since when is a large, clear label on a product considered "a clue". This is not a subtle piece of subterfuge, it's a frickin label in bold type font! It couldn't be more non-evasive and blatent if it was a giant flashing neon sign. If someone gives you the anwer in clear black and white, it is not a clue because there is nothing left to figure out.
And while I'm bitching, 'literally' does not mean 'really'. It means LITERAL, word for word, no metaphor as it was spoken or written. The next time I hear someone say "I literally jumped out of my skin", I'm going to smack the stupid out of them. Unless of course the person I'm talking has no skin, then yeah, he gets a pass...and a bandaid.
Again, all apologies to MellMWells. Not about you. You were just in the path of a drive-by grammar gripe.

And yet...
Somebody needs to come up with a name for the odds-approaching-100%-probability that someone belly-aching about grammar and syntax will have multiple spelling errors in their screed. :lol

Sooo...if you thought the last one was sub-par, what on Earth would compel you to go see the sequel? Diminishing returns on sequels tells me this will be another "Saaaaam!" "Optimus!!!" festival.
You kinda encourage that kind of film with your money.

They do have a word for that: meaningless.
The difference between an average scmuck missing a key while typing on a forum at 1 in the morning and a suppossed professional writer completely misusing a grade school level word in their article is night and day.
I don't harp on anybody for hitting the occasional wrong key, since it would be childish and petty. We all do it. But not knowing the meaning of even basic words is just flat out dumb.
And I do want to reiterate that I'm not talking about MelMWel. She didn't make the mistake. The guy being paid to write made the mistake, and that is why it is so graiting.
Anyway, I didn't mean to hijack the thread, so I'm bailing out before this goes south.

Optimus gets his trailer, Megatron is wearin a bride's veil to cover a fkcu'd up face, and Bay himself said something that i caught... i won't say wat i think it is but its about Shockwave and Sam. anyone read his interview and piece together his obvious clues as i did? Bay's own words its gonna be "epic" AND 3-D! he finally made up his mind about it!

Larry, you crack me up!! :lol
I'm becoming very excited about this movie. The trailers look great! And the fact I got to snoop around a little when they were filming in Chicago makes me wanna see what it'll look like on the big screen

The Bot on the moon is supposedly Sentinel Prime, Optimus's pops (which explains the resemblence to Cullen haha.) He later scans that giant blue truck (i thought it was gna be Ultra Magnus but guess not) The Twins are calmed down in this one too, so it don't have the ridiculous o.d. of unneccesary humor.
i think Optimus carries around his jetpack and its a part of the trailer cuz he flies in and chops up baddies then both the jets and this trailer disappear (homage to G1 haha)
Do they recover the Ark, if so, will we see Teletraan 1?
and WAT THE EFF is that thing eating up the street?????

I have great expectations for this movie, cause there is just no way it can be worse than the previous in the plot or dialogue department, and Bay still gets all the money he needs for explosions and cgi. And even if I hate the previous one, it really is insane. There is enough action in it that it could easily be a whole season in a TV-series on HBO, and still every episode would be 'the most expensive episode of a tv-show ever made'. It's all a matter of adding plot to all the robo-violence. I have seen someone describing it as an art-movie, that not everyone can understand, allthough a reference to it as 'eating sugar until you throw up' also makes sense I think Rotf would still be a baffling experience if you viewed it in half-speed, maybe even more so cause you would have time to see what actually happened .
