A car turning invisible... that worked so well for Die Another Day.
But I'm sure he'll be one of the G1's considered for the sequel. I just hope they fire Prowl in there.

Damn, Prowl vs Barricade would have been cool to see

I'm hoping that they're not going to say well we've done the police car thing with Barricade so let's not go back there.

The whole dynamic with Prowl always thinking in terms of black and white (excuse the pun with his colours) and not using his "human" side for decision making and Prime having to show him the proper path---- it'd be an interesting continuation for these characters and give more conflict in the next film. Same with Mirage if they push (like the cartoon/comic) that he'd rather be back on Cybertron and he'd be willing to do almost anything--- betray them (the Autobots)... More characterization (faithful to G1) is what I want in the sequel and less chihuahua peeing on robots.

I'm glad Jazz died. That means we don't have to endure Car Car Binks in the sequel.

I thought that was John Turturro's role?
But then, Sector Seven is no more... or is it?

 

[The ill Jedi]

Here's how I put them...

1. Transformers (so much better than I thought it was going to be when I read about all of the Michael Bay non-love for the original G1--still room for improvement but on my all-time list of great sci-fi/action flicks just for the nostalgia bump alone)
2. Knocked Up (funny as all-hell...love the pop culture references... Back to the Future...Swingers... awesome guy flick that I think the ladies will like as well... well, my wife enjoyed it)
3. POTC 3 (better than part two but the original is still a favourite)
4. Live Free of Die Hard (Bruce is lookin' old and some of the stuff take him from the everyman he was in the original to Clooneyesque Bat-hijinks....)
5. Spidey 3 (should have been the Vulture which Raimi would have had more love for and it should have been about half an hour shorter--- )

Ratatouille is better than all of these except Transformers, it is a tie between those two for me.

Well... I'm going to take your endorsement and see if I can get a chance to see it.

No...

Jazz = Jar Jar

Frenzy = Annoying Battle Droids

Turturro = Whole new kind of near movie-wrecking badness

ALL must be absent in the sequel to prevent wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Problem is, Bay loves Frenzy and it might be his favorite of all of the "rowbuts". Even worse, that character started out as Soundwave.

 

[DarthNeil]

Oops... I forgot to add FF: Rise of the Silver Surfer to the list--- put it on par with Spidey... (maybe slightly ahead as although the effects weren't there I did enjoy it for what it was).

whoopsy, I forgot this as well, I really liked it, I think it p*ssed on Spidey 3.
Don't get me wrong, I think Spidey 2 was probably the greatest superhero flick ever made next to supes 1+2 + returns.

D

Hope the silver surfer gets his own movie!

How was Jazz like Jar Jar? He had like what, 4 lines in the whole movie? Jazz was awesome, and certainly not as annoying, hell, not even in the same category as Jar Jar. Gotta disagree with ya there.

I do agree with Turturro though

 

[IrishJedi]

How was Jazz like Jar Jar?

Annoying racial stereotypes both.

 

[Reinhardt]

well to give Bay credit, Jazz was very similar to his character in the animated show.

if anything, i'd say Frenzy was more like Jar Jar!

[Eli26]

That's what I was saying, Frenzy is Jar Jar. Jazz? Yeah, okay there.

However, I kind of liked Frenzy because he always got his ass kicked and he had that great going out line, "Oh s**t!"

Nothing wrong with Frenzy, I agree. Anything robot-like that has mini turret guns and kills **** is cool in my book!
