WOO HOO! Am I the only one out there who is absolutely pique about the upcoming Transformers movie? I honestly can't wait for it to hit local shores - which should be tomorrow actually.
Ignore the rather low quality of the trailer up there. It was the best I could find out of youtube. And I'm sure all of you can see that its the Japanese trailer, given the Japanese subtitles and the way the announcer proclaims the name of the movie at the end! I love the way he announces 'Transformers'. So typical of a Japanese.
I don't think I can consider myself a Transformer fanatic/geek, but I do know that I am a fan of it. I never did manage to collect any old toys or merchandise, but I remember watching the cartoons and even the cartoon movie that was made when I was young, and becoming sorta obsessed with names like Optimus Prime, Rodimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Bumblebee, and the Dinobots! I loved the Dinobots! Come to think of it, my favourite character was always Rodimus Prime, which to the uninitiated, is the successor of Optimus Prime after the latter got shut down or something. But anyway, Rodimus isn't in the upcoming movie because Optimus is still around. (Okay, somehow, the whole chunk up there sorta indicate that I was a Transformer geek, but I assure you, I'm not that big a Transformer geek... I'm more of a Starwars and LOTR and HP geek!)
The series has really come a long way now... from the blocky animation to the high tech wizardry we see today. The TV spots and trailers look great. I like the fact that the robots actually look realistic, although there were lots of controversy over the updating of the robots like Bumblebee becoming a Camaro instead of a Volkswagen beetle, Megatron no longer becoming a giant cannon etc. I think its okay as long as they don't deviate too much from the original personalities of the characters. It'll be like the famous 'make Snape a blonde' or 'Arwen a kick ass super heroine' examples, no one would buy it. So as long as the robots have personalities similar to their original forms, I'm absolutely okay with them being spiffed and spiced up for the movie.
"Whoever finds this, my car is ALIVE!" You have no idea kid, no idea at all.
Oh yeah, I read in today's newspaper that the whole cast of 'Heroes' is coming to Singapore for some world tour! Can you imagine that? The likes of Peter, Claire, Hiro and Sylar all walking around looking at the Merlion and the Esplanade? How cool is that!
