SM3/TF: Transfans Civil War: Whose side are YOU on?

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

SM3/TF: Transfans Civil War: Whose side are YOU on?

Rather quickly inspired by the Spiderman 3 thread.

YOU tell your inner child sitting in their living room in the 80s playing with Transformers that they're coming out with a LIVE ACTION Transformers movie, where you will come as close as you ever will to actually seeing Transformers exist and fight on this planet. Michael Bay be damned, that's something that child has dreamed about since he got his first Optimus Prime, and as much as Spider Man is my boy (and I loved the first two movies), TF will be something I will have never seen before.

I honestly am not looking forward to a TF movie. In fact neither is my inne child. As I kid I loved cartoons and comics and wasn't even particulary intrested in action movies. I wasn't even bother that TF:TM was a movie. It was more an inconvience because my mum (Living on her own) often couldn't afford to let me and my sister go to the cinema and any pocket money would go on tapes-because thats transformers I could rewatch or rereadnd thus better value.

In the same way I'd never be intreted in a JLA movie. I'd prefer another series of the cartoon or a animated movie.

I'm not too fussed about either. Spiderman is usually a half-entertaining larf, which would be infinitely improved if Maguire's Parker weren't such a feeble drip ("I have superpowers and life's complicated. boo hoo.") The TF movie I swore on principle not to go see after observing the rather shameful attitude of its producer. I'll probably rent SM3 a few months after it comes out 'share' someone else's copy of Transformers (possibly through the intermediary of a file sharing client... {cough}... )

So yar, when's dinner ready?

I'm always gonna choose a Raimi film over a Bay one.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would happen. Now that it has... meh. All I can do is prepare to be pleasantly surprised.
