Good news or bad news?  Transformers 3 is officially coming to a theater near you July 1, 2011 (changed from 2012).  I will be honest and say that I have yet to watch Transformers 2.  Not that I didn't want to.  I was on vacation when it was released then was trying to catch up on things when I got back home.  I'm waiting for the Blu-ray.  Michael Bay made the following statement on his official blog:

Well its official: We have a great Transformers 3 story. The release date is now July 1st 2011. Not 2012.

Today is Day One. This morning started with an ILM meeting for five hours in San Francisco. Currently I'm flying with writer Ehren Kruger to Rhode Island to talk to Hasbro about new characters.

P.S. Megan Fox, welcome back. I promise no alien robots will harm you in any way during the production of this motion picture. Please consult your Physician when working under my direction because some side effects can occur, such as mild dizziness, intense nausea, suicidal tendencies, depression, minor chest hair growth, random internal hemorrhaging and inability to sleep. As some directors may be hazardous to your health, please consult your Doctor to determine if this is right for you.


You might be aware that there's been a bit of tension between Bay and Fox lately.  She referred to Bay wanting to direct like Napoleon or Hitler.  This prompted several of his crew to sound off about her diva-like behavior on set.  We'll see if she returns for the third film.

Haven't seen the second one either. I liked the first one though.

I've seen half of TF2, from what I saw, it was pretty entertaining.  But not as entertaining as JENNIFER'S BODY...and I'm totally kidding.

I enjoyed the hell out of Transformers 2.  The first one was surprising better then I think anybody expected it to be.  It was a little hard to see what was going on with all the moving parts, and a whole easier to watch on a smaller television as apposed to the big screen, so when I heard that is was even harder for the 2nd movie I decided to wait for the dvd.  I have copy and the movie is exactly what you should expect.  A whole lot more action, and a lot more robots killing more robots.  A lot of fun.  It's not the Godfather, but you're not going to turn it off.  It's a movie version of what the cartoon was.  Good robots fighting bad robots, and (spoiler) the good robots win.   Didn't Michael Bay say he was going to do another movie before the Transformers 3??

Let's hope Transformers 3 will be waaaay better than 2 & get rid of those Twins. Cause it was more of a Bay movie than a Transformer movie. It seemed different to how he did the first one which was great, but just kind of dropped the ball a little bit with RoF. Let's also hope we FINALLY get the Dinobots & Unicron. Along with some more screen time of Soundwave.

YAY! more OPTIMUS!
 
One was better than two. 2 was almost unwatchable because of the blurry, obscure and incoherent fight/transformation scenes!
I like Megan. I mean, who watches movies cause the actors are Einsteins? We watch them cause they did a good job and I think she didn't do bad at all, considering she was just a smaller supporting role anyway...

Jennifer's Body was a good movie. I'm not kidding. I thought it was quite funny.

I bet Megan will return for Transformers 3. It's what's kind of recently rocketed her career. 
I hope this Transformers movie has Unicron. He's one of my favourite Transformers. I also hope they have some more Transformers who they name! 
Most of the the new Transformers in Transformers 2 didn't even get refered too with names. They live for like 5 seconds and then they die. I'd also like to see a Decepticon in the guise of a motorcycle. Like a Harley Davisonn or Chopper or something. If there is one, then someone really bad ass should voice him like Jeffery Dean Morgan.

I bet they love each other really, and all this anti-Fox banter was some silly in-joke that got way out of hand. 
 
Hell, I enjoyed the first two films, so no doubt I'll enjoy the big dumb blockbuster action of the third too...

I thought that the movie is entertaining enough to see it for free.  But c'mon, all that "slang" that was thrown around was little much.

"Well its official: We have a great Transformers 3 story. The release date is now July 1st 2011. Not 2012. "  - Michael Bay
 
I call into question Michael Bay's concept of a good story. The first was weak but at least somewhat representative of the origins of the Transformer's series. 
The second "plot" was pure, unadulterated schlock with a side of "wtf am I watching?" It's only saving grace was introducing characters that fans have been waiting to see.
 
IMO: Megan Fox is a leathery bag of cigarette stinking, untalent who needs to get her butt on a pole post haste where she belongs. Who in their right mind cares about what she, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus or any other "starlet" believes, thinks or feels?  These people (I use the term loosely) have lived sheltered lives and know little or nothing about how real people live - if they have an opinion about acting or their performances, thats fine, but any other subject that they talk about should be taken worth a grain of salt.
If I found Megan Fox even remotely attractive I would be truly upset that she hasn't (and says she never will) do any nude scenes because thats what she is worth to the acting community.
And based on pictures I've seen online and things I've read, any nude scenes she's had in Jennifer's Body (which I will not see) are all done with a body double which is not that uncommon.

I was surprised that the first Transformers was decent. I thought "Maybe the second one could be good!" 
Man, was I wrong. 2 hours of garbage. I was happy that Sam Wiwicki died, then he went to f'n robot heaven and came back? What the hell were his parents doing tin Egypt anyway? If they were captured, they didn't serve any purpose other than being annoying. 
Definitely not seeing the third one.

I really wish Bay would fall prey to an accident in his ridiculous explosions and other stupid special effects. He's starting to make Uwe Boll look like not the worst option as director.

The movies are very poor translations of the series...I won't watch this one just like i didn't watch the second one. No matter how much skin Megan Fox is showing.....Hell she could be naked during the whole thing and I still won't watch it. I hate Micheal Bay for raping my childhood image of one of the greatest series ever and making in another bastardized movie of his....No matter how well the story is I'm not watching it.
