I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for a Transformers reboot that's somewhere between the overwrought Michael Bay extravaganzas and this new attempt at trying to appeal to the Smallville Tweener crowd.

I'll likely be dead by the time Hollywood & Co. FINALLY get it right.

Far more disappointing: producers went through the trouble to case Hailee Seinfeld, but didn't once get her into a bikini

A wasted opportunity, without a doubt.

Wow, nice butt! lol

Well its been confirmed by Hasbro that Bumblebee is officially a "reboot" of the franchise. Read it HERE..so rest easy..I just hope they stick closer to the G1 mythology unlike Bay that took it from probably skip watching episodes of 'Animated' & thinking that was the original series.

As for Bee being a Beetle...guess we'll just have to wait & see...

Give Bay a little credit. T1 was actually amusing when it came out. It was camp, fun and there was great action. Plus.. I mean.. Fox..!

It did derail fairly quickly, I'll be the first to admit, but he did breathe life in to something most people didn't see happening when it came out.

As for BumbleBee.. well.. I enjoyed it a fair amount. Some scenes went too long - and there was maybe too much exposition on the female lead that didn't really offer anything worthwhile. I didn't really need the whole diving sub-plot to have her jump in the pool of water at the end. Not after the amount of direct-hit explosions she'd survived to that point.
