Yes, it's true, Transformers is being made into a live action movie.

I can barely contain my excitement at this prospect...though part of me just knows those morons at Hasbro are going to force them to use the crappy new range rather than the classic characters (with the original voices of course)...

Fingers crossed.

Bless you.


















But you know, deep down, this is going to suck hard.

 

[Embattle]

They will completely fuck it up, without a doubt.

 

[Jonny_Darko]

Stop it! Stop it! This is probably the best reason I have for living this rotten life now. :/

 

[dysfunction]

I have to agree with the others.....they are going to destroy all that is good about Transformers

 

[Embattle]

It'll end up being a mixture of Tweenies and Classic Transformers

 

[Jonny_Darko]

Well it'll never be as shite as Attack Of The Clones, I can at least be thankful for that small mercy.

 

[Summo]

HAHAHAHAHA! Your naivety is so cute!

C'mere, you...

 

[Testin da Cable]

Oo run away! run AWAY!!!

 

[ECA]

So true.

BTW:
I still haven't seen you in PS yet young man!

Couldn't they just do another decent feature length cartoon?

 

[Sharma]

I can definately say i will be going to see this

 

[Wilier]

I had about a dozen of the diecast Transformer toys when they first came out, including the big one, but I cant remember his name </spoilt>

 

[whipped]

For examples of how cartoons/toys do not translate well to live action please refer to Masters of the Universe.

I'd say that all cartoon/game to film conversions are doomed to be utterly shite. I defy you to prove me wrong!

edit: oops, I've done myself wrong: I found Batman (the first one) to be reasonably bearable. ok, everything _but_ Batman then. Holy post-edit!!

 

[nath]

Xmen wasn't that shit, infact it even did a sequel which was also ok.


(you really shouldn't quote yourself in your sig, teed :\)

I'm desperately trying to find a CGI, "real-life" animation of a Volkwagon Beetle transforming into an Autobot...and that was done by a fan in his spare time and looks awesome

I'll post it here when I find it.

Hmmm. *N*E*R*D*

 

[leggy]

Decent comic/cartoon to film conversions for TdC:

Xmen
X2
Spiderman
Batman ...
superman

er

ok I give up. I can think of loads of shit ones

Giving that Transformers will have to be primarily CGI the final verdict will be:

sux0r of c0x0rs.
