As most of you know, the one film I anticipated more than any other in movie history (aside from The Phantom Menace) was Transformers. I grew up not just collecting these toys, but plastering their pictures all over my walls, watching the cartoons and playing with the toys. While the movie itself ended up having some major short comings, I still insanely enjoyed it.
Transformers 2 I have some apprehension on. From the news I’ve been reading it seems to me like the movie is building on the mistakes of the first film rather than the strengths of the first film. Seems like we’re getting more humans taking up screen time instead of more Autobot vs Decepticon action, Starscream micking with Megatron or just some more flat out city destruction. Sigh.
But still… it’s the Transformers so I’m still interested and will be there with bells on opening day as will a lot of other people. With that in mind, Transformers director Michael Bay has just announced that the first Transformers 2 trailer will be arriving in February in theaters or perhaps airing with the Superbowl (how sweet would that be. You know that if they buy Superbowl ad time they won’t just give us some flimsy little announcement trailer, but rather something with some meat to it).
I’m already humming the old cartoon theme music in my head.
