The Transformers live action movie looks like the original Star Wars in
comparison.

What, you don't like re-releases of 1960s Hong Kong kung fu flicks?
BTW - did you notice that it will be released on Friday the 13th? Maybe
you'll be "lucky" and really like it. <g>

Were there bad things said about that movie? My wife, a long time
Transformers fan, thought it was great.

Oh, now I know on which day I'll be 31 next year. Not a good omen it's the
same day as the DBZ movie premiere.

The Japanese don't believe in Friday the 13th, right? ^_^
(In America, it'll be released April 8th... the Wednesday.)

I'm pretty sure they believe there's something between Thursday the 12th
and Saturday the 14th... ^_^ However, I'm not aware of the Japanese
attaching any special significance to the date.
>(In America, it'll be released April 8th... the Wednesday.)
Odd - a midweek release when the teens are still in school. They must
be *expecting* the movie to tank...

Hmmm I would have thought after GT, they wouldn't even try to make
more Dragonball video. But a live action movie? Do we need another
Super Mario Bros movie?

For the benefit of people who don't spend a lot of time cruising movie
fan sites:
Transformers live-action got savaged by a lot of fans for being
"cheesey" and "crap". The critics weren't much nicer. It seems the sin
was being directed by Michael Bay; it didn't matter what the movie
actually was.
I loved it, being an old-school Transformers fan!
Also, I don't hate Michael Bay. :-)

Despite not actually existing, GT made money. This is always a reason
to make more.

These days, live action superhuman movies not only sell, some of them
are actually good, unlike in, say, the 80, where only Superman managed
it at all, and even that rather clumsily (no, I did NOT believe a man
could fly. But it was a good try).
Having just seen the DB: Evolution international trailer... I am still
ambivalent. They've sure changed a lot of stuff. Yet there are clear
PIECES of Dragonball in there. And Toriyama was involved to at least
some extent.
I'll give it the chance to surprise me.

Who's Michael Bay that people hate him so?
Fortunately, I judge movies based on the movie, anyway. And "cheesy"???
Well, um, yeah, it's TRANSFORMERS. It's a movie derived from a show
about some transformable robot-car toys. What'd you expect, Citizen
Kane? It was a GREAT cheesy flick.

Of course the original Transformers was also cheesy. But I believe most
of the complaining steamed from the film using an original storyline,
and it was not a kids film.

It's interesting that the TF fans that stayed way from Internet
discussions of the film view the film more positively. I guess it is an
example of herd mentality.

He directed Bad Boys 1 & 2 (black cop movies, 'nuff said), The Rock
(best one he's done in my opinion), Armageddon (decent, but too much
Ben Affleck), Pearl Harbor (seriously, when the movie should've ended,
it went on into cliché city and bought up the town square, y'know what,
go get Tora! Tora! Tora! and The Dirty Dozen for better action and
plot), and The Island (reminds me of Logan's Run and Blade Runner, but
fails to meet expectations)

How about almost zero character development for the Decepticons. Part
of the greatness of the TV cartoon was that the baddies got a decent
amount of screen time so that we knew why they were bad. A
novelization that I read from my library that covered the pre-movie
stuff did more in one chapter than Michael Bay did in over an hour of
screen time. Another thing, it's called TRANSFORMERS, not HUMANS. Too
much time was spent on the Witwicky/Section 5 stuff. Third, I got
tired of hearing the "more than meets the eye" line. Fourth, why the
hell was a giant robot need to be shown pissing on a human? Fifth,
recognizable autobot names return, but we need almost all new
decepticons? Seriously? After years of comics introducing hundreds of
different ones, NONE of them work aside from Megs & Starscream?
Had it not used the name Transformers, and used certain names, this
would be a great stand-alone movie. Sure we'd know who was supposed to
be who, but what we got was a glorified car commercial aimed at
juvenile high-schoolers, the ones who would giggle in Sex ed and light
their farts on the weekend.
Bill Martin
As I stated in another reply, it's an okay movie, but to call it
Transformers is a bad call. Almost as bad as when Toho saw Hollywood
screw up Godzilla that they have officially revoked the name Godzilla
from that Matthew Broderick movie and just call it Zilla, even bashing
it in their later Godzilla movies. I read the internet reviews since I
am poor and probably wasn't going to see it, but was shown it by some
generous people.

My wife, a long-time Transformers fan, says you're wrong, and that much
of what was in the movie was practically taken directly from the cartoon.
I didn't watch much Transformers (just the animated movie and a few
scattered eps) but it certainly didn't seem TERRIBLY off.
As opposed to "NotZilla", which wasn't at all Godzilla.

It was.
There was a pretty interesting podcast that dissected every nook 'n

disappointment many have had about it.

Glad I never saw that one. Was almost tempted to that fine weekend

Basically his idea of directing action scenes is to put in as many
explosions and slow motion shots as possible. His worst offense is probably
Armageddon. 'Decent' is being way too kind. That wasn't a movie, that was
a 2 1/2 hour movie trailer.
But yeah, The Rock was great, and I kind of liked "The Island".

It's during Holy Week before the long Easter Day weekend
when many schools are closed on Holy Thursday and Good Friday
and may also have spring break the next week.
Plus, AFAIK, it's the only new release that Wednesday,
so it's getting a 2-day jump on its competition.
On the contrary, to convince theater owners to that move
signals a high expectation for them.

OT: In style, social environment, and artwork, the manga/anime City Hunter
to me seems a lot like The Spirit - certainly seems to have been a major
influence. Still a unique character, though. Ryo seems to have come from a
mercernary background instead of a police one, and is far more a social
animal.

The _Friday the 13th_ remake. Sorry, it seemed so obvious to me, I

I can't imagine wanting to see a remake of something that shouldn't
have been made in the first place. Nightmare on Elm Street was at least
inventive in its first incarnation.

Yeah, I always felt Friday the 13th was a gorier imitation of the better
made "Halloween".
Though I loved the ending for the first film.

before Halloween off....

The "Welcome Home" parade for the World Champions should be over

I think you mean it couldn't be any BETTER than one of the great
unappreciated cinematic classics of our time. ;p
Although honestly, what's wrong with the Chun-li trailer? She is a cop who
breaks up drug and terrorist rings, she will be kung-fuing people in the
face, and they avoided trying to shove every SF character into it. Other
than the fact I think it would've been better if they'd just run with Vega
as the primary villain, that seems the most sensible way to go around a SF
movie.

Ah. You're from THAT universe? So you're a fan of Highlander 2 and Star
Trek 5, too.
HERE those were abominations, fit only for burning. Raul Julia
certainly had fun chewing scenery in it, but why the hell they couldn't
have just let him play Vega-sama (or, English, Bison) rather than a loon
with some gadgets I don't know.

Of course I like Star Trek V. It ends with Klingons machine-gunning God to
death. That's basically the best thing that ever happened in the entire Star
Trek franchise. Also, Spock has rocket boots.
Can't say for Highlander, since I watched fifteen minutes of the first
movie, gathered it wasn't SUPPOSED to be a low-budget badly-written comedy,
and turned it off. I remember it had truly awful fight scenes.

He was Bison. In all deadly seriousness, that line I quoted in my .sig is
and will likely forever be the most "Bison" line that's ever come out of the
franchise. Also in all seriousness, the movie really is pretty decent cheesy
fun and delivers nicely on several of the cast members (like Zangief), which
makes it an order of magnitude better than most video game movies. It's not
a "good" movie, but it's a "fun to watch" movie. And the director's
commentary (including the explanation for they used the UN POWERBOAT SQUAD
instead of helicopters) is great.

Star Trek 5 could've used a dose of Raul Julia too, but then, what
couldn't? :)
(The fact that SF'94 also had an actual functioning sense of *humor* was
something that probably confused and disoriented existing JCVD fans, who
weren't used to such strange new things they'd never encountered before...)

Be our guest, and don't see we didn't warn:

(I, as fellow Raul-canon defender, staunchly maintain that if she ain't
wearing her blue Shampoo outfit with the hairbuns, ribbon and
bulldog-bracelets, It Ain't Chun-Li. Non-negotiable. No right to usurp
the name.
When it's "cooler", kickass-babe-centric and 90% off-source, that's when

(I've seen the "Rearranged back in order" version on the "Renegade" cut,
and...even with a plot and no alien planets, it's *still* a dopey, hammy
Connery-slumming mess.)

(A) I don't remember the machine guns. Just as well. I recall photon
torpedoes and disruptors, though. And the only good line in the movie:
"What does God want with a starship?"
(B) You apparently haven't watched much of the Star Trek series,
movies, animated series, or even read the spinoff novels or comic books
if you find that the "best". Hell, ST5 was on the level of "Spock's
Brain", but didn't have the excuse of being on a budget of $60k and part
of a show the network was trying to kill at the time.

Great fight scenes for the era. Alas, our experiences with cheap Wuxia
films and modern choreography have injured our ability to appreciate the
old-style fights.

I prefer Vega-Sama, then, because apparently "Bison" was a pansified
and mysteriously poorly-scripted version of his original. The Street
Fighter II animated film was vastly better in every single way. It's not
the best overall movie from a fighting game (that's probably the Fatal
Fury Motion Picture), but it had by FAR one of the best Grand Finale
combats EVAR, one in which the Big Bad was NOT wussed out but actually
STAYED able to take on any one other fighter without effort at all, and
where the good guys didn't pull some new superpower out of their asses
but beat him with teamwork and sheer guts... and STILL couldn't kill
him, just drive him off.

No, in this thread someone mentioned a STREET FIGHTER trailer, not
Chun-Li. When I think Street Fighter, I presume it's Ken and Ryu. (Yet
another mistake of that abominable Jean Claude "Look at my BUTT!" Van
Damme version)

Nope, there were machine guns. It was awesome.

Ha ha. I've watched most of TOS, Next Gen, and a couple dozen of DS9,
Voyager, and Enterprise. I've seen most of the movies, including the
much-ballyhooed Wrath of Khan. I've read say about ten or twelve books. I
didn't watch the animated series with the catgirl.
Machine-gunning God to death was definitely better than anything else I've
seen from the series. Well, okay, there was the time the holodeck made
Professor Moriarty and he took over the Enterprise and later tried to walk
out of it. That was pretty funny/awesome. Also there was that one video
Patrick Stewart made where he sang show tunes on the bridge.

That's because they weren't very good. If something is actually good, it
ought to hold up even though now we've seen techniques done by Asians.
(Also, I've never watched a Wuxia film except Shaolin Soccer, so I doubt
that influenced my judgement much.)

It had a better Vega fight scene! I mean Vega, not M. Bison. Other than that
I never really cared much for it, other than its mysterious inability to
ever show up on a US DVD with its original, superior soundtrack.

It's totally Variable Geo! Oh wait, that wasn't a movie. But still!

Okay, I won't mock your opinion this time. ;p That was admittedly nice, I
just didn't care because the movie gave me no reason to care about the
protagonists or antagonist.

Canonically, Guile beat Bison. Ryu didn't win the tournament in II (or III,
incidentally). And you're being obtuse. A Chun-li movie is by definition a
Street Fighter movie.

I agree. Transformers was such as awesome movie.
