So, is anyone else cautiously optimistic about pic related? Could we finally be getting a Transformers film that doesn't suck?
>director is actually passionate about his craft, has created one of the best kid-oriented films of the decade>going for a 1980s setting, which could be fun as long as it doesn't exasperatedly rely on nostalgic throwbacks>smaller budget and cast might make for a more self-contained story that actually focuses on exploring interesting characters and conflicts rather than being bogged down by hundreds of generic personalityless robots and random special effect showoffs>story is once again about the friendship between a teenager and a beater car, which is arguably the only thing about the original films that worked on a narrative level>lead looks cute>VW 'Bee also looks cute>heck, the whole thing seems to have a cute wholesome hipster vibe to it in general rather than just being premised on edgy teenager appeal, which is actually sort of impressive from a Transformers movie of all things>aiming for a December release rather than June, therefore not desperately trying to mix in with the summer blockuster crowdOld thread:
