For a Transformers movie, I kind of expect it to… you know… resemble the Transformers franchise. I don’t mind macho pro-American blow-shit-up type movies. But not in Transformers. Transformers is science fiction; it’s not “get to da choppah”. This is supposed to be about robots. This isn’t a Schwarzenegger film. Get these army guys out of my movie!

At the very least, I want the robots to actually have personalities. Most of them barely so much as talked. You know what I liked about the original cartoon? You knew who all the robots were.

The only part of the finale that even remotely resembled a Transformers storyline was that the Decepticons wanted to destroy the sun. That’s something the original Megatron would have done. Everything that it took to get there, however, was aggravating to sit through, and I don’t know how anyone expecting to see Transformers would have the patience to sit through it.

You know that scene in the first movie where Barricade is chasing Bumblebee through the city, and they’re leaping, transforming in mid-air, and all that? I want more of that. I enjoy a good chase scene.

As far as Escape from New York goes? I don’t know what it was with that movie. I like Kurt Russell and Lee Van Cleef is cool, but it just didn’t do anything for me. I’ve only seen it once, but I doubt a repeat performance would make a difference. Then again, I think Big Trouble in Little China is a piece of crap so what do I know. :)

What the fuck.

Of course it’s making ungodly amounts of money though… sigh.

Now, I wonder if the Fistful podcast will also grace us with a new episode of Dale goodness. Hmm…
