Early Script Review of "Transformers"

Some wacky dude who calls himself "The Rossman" has an online review of the script for Transformers: The Movie... and it ain't good, fanboys.  For all of you pathetic wimps who cried when Optimus Prime bought it in the animated movie (you know who you are), then you probably won't be ready to face up to the reality that is the live-action film, if The Rossman's comments are to be believed.

I mean, sure, the critics hissed and booed Aronofsky's The Fountain, and called it an "incomprehensible mess", but did they think it was "a half-aborted monster that bares no likeness at all to the previous incarnations of its namesake, and still has the clothes-hanger sticking out of its mongoloid skull in a vile mockery of the brilliance that it could have (and should have) been."

Considering that The Fountain isn't based on a previous incarnation, probably not.

The review looks pretty legit, from a script dated February, 2006 and subtitled "Prime Directive."  But If you poke around The Rossman's site, you get a feeling that he's one of those guys that thinks he's really clever but his kids are totally mortified by him (we all know the type, right girls?) and that he probably WAS one of those guys that DID cry when Optimus Prime bought it in the animated movie, so while he does bring up some good points, you probably should take them with a grain of salt.

Or not?  Maybe the thing really is a complete and utter mess.

But it still has that cute Shia LaBoeuf in it...

...and robots.

I didn't cry.

Even then, as a young lad, I was emotionaly dead inside.

I downloaded that script last night. I couldn't help myself. Haven't read it yet.

yes, the script sounds just as silly as the original series..

i dont know what series of transformers this guy was watching that he likened it to shakesphere or some other great piece of literature. i wish people would stop making it seem like the series was more than a toy commercial. this guy also seems like he is really scared of change. you're right Milfy... he does seem like that guys whose kids roll their eyes back when he speaks in public... that guy that raises his voice in the restaurant so everyone can hear him cuz he thinks he has something clever that they all should hear.

uh

If none of us care about this stupid movie, why do we cover it so much?  It looks RETARDED on a scale that Michael Bay has yet to only dream about.  And now it's REAL.  Doesn't that frighten you and your children and their children?

I don't have any children

So I have to frighten the neighbours kids...

i care

...i'm fine with the movie being silly and nonsensical. if its going to be anything like the original cartoon then there really is no way around that. i really dont think michael bay could mess it up no matter how corny the lines are. i just want to see robots blow things up.

"i just want to see robots blow things up."

surely it's not too much to ask
