Sorry, but I'm just curious for a minute. In my wanderings of the Internet, most people have seemed to have a fairly high opinion of Beast Wars. Maybe not "better than the original series", but most have seemed to like it.

I've certainly neevr seen it hated as much as some of you seem to. What exactly are your issues with it?

LiterSize:
This thread is for the discussion of the upcoming Transformers film, as Leonidas put up at the beginning.  I invoked the Beast Wars, which leads to everyone now saying how good/bad it was which wasn't the original intent of this thread.  


Which is why I then proceeded to ask about THE UPCOMING MOVIE, to get things back on track here.  

I'll even start a new topic!  Look!

Leonidas:

--- Quote from: JLM ---It would be to their great advantage if they followed the DreamWave style of storytelling, and just rolled with it (no pun intended) from there.  

But there'll probably be some 8 year old kid shouting all his dialogue a-la jake lloyd in Phantom Menace who befriends bumblebee.  Oh, and he'll have a dog named "Rusty" who's smarter than the regular canine, that manages to warn Optimus that the kid's been taken hostage.

Or something.

Call me optimistic, but I do have high hopes that the movie won't be following those lines. I believe that the Transformers story is well enough established that it wouldn't have to have the "annoying kid" making the story clear for the ignorant. It has a huge following in the male 20-30yr range, and that's a pretty huge target audience. Of course there are also the kids to target, but as we have seen with other comparable movies (X-Men, Spider-Man, Batman Begins, etc...), that it is possible to approach this from an adult point of view and still keep the kiddies happy.






I hope.

IronOxide:
And ye then puppies and kittens flew through the sky, for a magical movie was created.

I'm just saying that it would be nice, but unlikely. I'm still going to see it though.

LiterSize:
YES I NECRO'D THIS TOPIC.


Why?  Because the recent Penny Arcade inspired me to go diggin' for information.


So far:  

Optimus is going to be a long-nose truck, not the snub-nosed model from G1.  With flames on the side (possibly rumor!)
Bumblebee is a camaro.  a muscle car.  Bumblebee. yeah.
Skorponok!!!!!!
No "mass changing" properties, so who the hell knows how they'll do blaster/soundwave (if at all) and what form they'll give Megatron (fondue pot seems popular here).


Sigh.... BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
