NooooOOOOooooOOOooo! What's Transformers without Mikaela!!

[ozzylogic]

Everything it should be! Let's hope Michael 'ADD' Bay drops out too.

[shariqq]

Are you nuts? True Bay destroyed the sequel, but don't take a dump on him coz he did give you the best possible Transformers movie - the first one! All this Bay-hate even though he's given us some of the biggest summer movies.

If I had to choose, I'd hope Megan Fox is still in the movie, but Shia Beowulf is fired.

I agree with Shariq on Michael Bay he made the first Transformers the great fun ride that it was, and he still can make a great third film too. The problem with the second was not the action scenes, which were awesome to be frank, it was everything, and I mean everything, else in between. Fucking pilgrimage walk in the desert, the twins (who will be gone this time), robo sex doll, actual sex doll (Megan Fox), stoned Mom, and many many things.

Where Shariq and I disagree is on Shia LeBeouf, he was really good in the film, and I know it is popular to pile on him lately, but most of the time the hate toward him is unfounded, especially in Transformers films.

Megan Fox representative says she wanted out of Transformers.

Megan Fox is seeking to transform rumor to fact.

The actress is slamming speculation she was booted from the third installment of the Transformers action film franchise.

“Megan Fox will not be starring in Transformers 3," reps for the actress, 24, tell PEOPLE. "It was her decision not to return. She wishes the franchise the best.”

Citing unnamed sources, Variety reports the studio and the film's director, Michael Bay, intend to cast another actress as star Shia LaBeouf's love interest to move the story in a different direction.

Shooting for the film, slated for a July 2011 release, is expected to kick off this summer in locations across the U.S.

Fox, meanwhile, is prepping for the June 18 release of Jonah Hex, an action film she stars in opposite Josh Brolin, John Malkovich and Will Arnett.

I don't hate the kid. I enjoyed his performance in the first one ("Ask yourself. What would Jesus do?"), and really liked him in Disturbia. But he was bad in the second one, moreso because you expect at least something lead-man like from him.

[ayaa1977]

I meant I didn't mind him, obviously nothing was good about the film, and I blame Michael Bay, the screenplay, and the mentality of just add more of everything and it will be good. But I still wouldn't blame LeBeouf for it because he was working with shitty shitty material and no other actor in his shoes would  have shined no matter what.

[ozzylogic]

My reply has disappeared. Michael Bay can't make sequels for shit (Bad Boys 2? Transformers 2?), he's proved it, so yeah, I'll go ahead and dump on him, despite the first one being a shit load of fun. He should drop out and let some more mature take over the franchise and do the 3rd part.

I don't expect much from a guy who says the next movie would be 'bigger and louder'.

[shariqq]

Really, Bad Boys 2, like Waterworld isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

[ozzylogic]

Waterworld was a good flick. Bad Boys 2 on the other hand, is one of the most unwatchable movies I've watched in a long, long time. It was tasteless, vulgar, and just plain bad. I can't think of one redeeming feature of it!

I sometimes tend to watch movies which everyone disses only to know what they're like, and BB2 was one of those movies where I ended up thinking I should've listened to others!

The title is tentative though.

Here are some clips of the cars to be featured in the film:

Except for that ending shot of the robot, it looked good. And then, it said 3D.

I'm not too bothered with the 3D aspect, all movies have both versions anyway so I will just choose to watch it on normal 2D.
