Supposedly the number of robots in this one is going to number around 60. That's a lot of giant fucking robots.

Chad, I know you're gonna hate me for saying this, but I wish the robots were designed better. They still haven't grown on me, and the combination of shitty, indecipherable designs with Michael Bay's rapid-fire editing is deadly.
That said, I think this one will be better than the last. Less exposition. The plot will probably move more quickly, etc.

Not at all, notice the smiley face I used. I don't really care. Not everyone likes my nerdy shit. I accept that. I definitely don't like all the new designs, but I do most of them. I think Bay did a more than good job modernizing the bots. That's my opinion. Dave is a purist, and can't accept change is a big stupid doodoo head.

As long as you don't say Bay is a good director, the peace will be kept.

Oh god no. But he couldn't ask for a movie more tailor made for him. And I wouldn't want anyone else directing it at this point. This is his baby for better or worse. Kick ass special effects and big explosions trump coherent plot and character development in this film. And I know it has everything to do with ILM, but the visual effects in Transformers 1 (and I can only imagine in TF2 as well) are unrivaled. Transformers is the new Jurassic Park in that sense. And had anyone but Bay directed the film they would have won that category for the 2007 awards. The Golden Compass can go fuck itself.
I'm just tired of arguing about it with people. They redid the franchise, it's incredibly successful and has made a metric fuckton of money. Michael Bay has no vision outside of the blowy-uppy parts of his movies. Lets accept that things are as they are and move on. The franchise wasn't butchered or ruined, and Michael Bay didn't ruin anyone's childhood.

I've no problem with rebooting the franchise or old v. new. Just Bay. Look at Jurassic Park I. Spielberg. That's a director who knows how to do action scenes. Bay doesn't. Put JP in his hands and it would be a mess. His approach is: let's stick 30 cameras out here and chop the shit out of it in the editing room. That's not directing.
The 'vision' thing doesn't work because (1) the auteur theory doesn't apply to gigantic big budget movies and (2) the auteur theory barely applies to any movie. Guillermo del Toro is a notable exception.

I had no problem with the first movie other than the fact that I hated the cartoons and I thought the movie was gonna be shit too.
I was wrong and said so.
There are places in the film world for people like Bay and I thought he did an excellent job in the first movie with the basic plot being "find the cube". It wasn't rocket science and I thought the movie was great. I'm even looking forward to the second movie, and by that, I don't mean I'm going to download it; I'm going to see it on the big screen and THEN download it.
In my books, that's a fucking honour!

I'll go. And I promise not to say anything until after it's over.
By the way, just to prove I'm not against any new designs, I do like the animated reboot designs:
