My thoughts…on stuff

I loved the Transformers movie. In my view, the translation from cartoon to movie could not have been done better. This week, I learned that Transformers 2 is on the way, and I couldn’t be happier. Still I wasn’t too surprised. This movie made far too much money for Hollywood to just leave the franchise on the shelf like that. I was wondering what kind of sequel they could have without the big boss, Megatron. Then I remembered villains like Unicron are still out there.

The name of the movie will be “Revenge of the Fallen” and is scheduled to be released on June 26, 2009, so don’t hold your breath. In the movie, Sam Witwicky will be in college. Yeah, no one really cares about Sam, but just bringing that to your attention. People are speculating that an old character will make a dramatic return. Signs point to Jazz, Starscream, Megatron or The Fallen. Jazz probably won’t return, as he’s not an important enough character to be the center of a movie. Plus it’s unlikely that a good guy would take revenge. As for Starscream, I don’t think he’s that big of a threat. The Fallen is an actual Transformers villain, and a fearsome one at that, described as a “being of power, darkness, and absolute dedication to Unicron”. Megatron well, you know.

I think it’s between The Fallen and Megatron. They are the only villains that are fearsome enough to be major threat to the Autobots. Michael Bay is putting out misinformation to obscure real leaks (bastard!), so you can’t trust info coming from the movie studio. According to the 2008 ShoWest edition of Dolby News, the film will be in 3-D. That would be cool. Just as long as they give out cool looking 3D glasses and make the 3D scenes more than Transformers poking the screen. The budget will also be bigger and the Transformers will have a larger role and more screen time . Needless to say, I can’t wait to see this movie!
