I went to the first movie hoping for a great time, despite Bay directing. It turned out to me cool for me only in that I actually got to see some beloved childhood cartoon characters in beautiful ILM-rendered CGI/live action. I refuse to watch the other two, especially after seeing clips of the two "racist" bots and then hearing Bay backpedal and try to play spin doctor on that whole mess. I will not pay to see ANYthing this idiot does because as long as his films make money studios will keep handing the director chores over to this no-talent hack. I keep hoping that someday thaverage joe will realize that Bay only does poop and perhaps he'll never direct again. Not likely to happen, but a guy can dream.
Anyhow, it was neat to learn that the Dinobots are in the 4th installment, but the screen grab I saw did NOT impress me. More skinny-assed fragile-looking re-designs. Grimlock looks like a metal skeleton and has horns now? The hell? I suppose he'll have a snotty British accent and be an intellectual, just to differentiate this version from the "childish" cartoon version. SIGH. Pass on this.
PS... Kain, I also recognized the PR reference in your earlier post. Gave me a laugh. And yes, the similarity is striking.
