Hrm.
So the teaser trailer for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is out for Superbowl Sunday. Obviously, I have to have an opinion on it.
...personally, I'm not feeling it. The clashing, constantly moving metal always throws off my perspective, especially against Bay's trademark explosions and urban backgrounds, so I'm not even sure what's going on. It also looks to be following the pattern of the first movie, which was mainly human interaction against the backdrop of fighting robots--not what you want in a Transformers movie, which is human/robot and robot/robot interaction against the backdrop of fighting robots.
I'm going to go see it anyway due to the fact that fighting robots are fun and against all odds I actually liked Shia's Sam Witwicky, but my hopes aren't up for anything better than the last one.
