Going gaga for trailers: Transformers-Revenge of the Fallen


Years ago, when news of a live action Transformers movie was being made, I was extremely skeptical about it being anywhere near good. When the movie was released, I walked into the theater with no expectations. To make a long story short, I walked away from the film pleasantly surprised. Now that the sequel is underway, I have to say my excitement has defaulted back to skepticism as I try to erase the retrospective memory of Shia LeBouf and Megan Fox's horrible acting and their atrocious prefabricated chemistry. I must say that Megan Fox being easy on the eyes made this really easy to swallow at first glance, but viewing the movie now, makes me cringe every time she engages in any dialogue. I'm hoping my reservations prove me wrong, and that I'm pleasantly surprised the second time around.

It looks like Transformers is making a celebration of their new, never before seen trailer. I'm a trailer fan, but this is going pretty far for just two-plus minutes of footage. There are a ton of dedicated Transformer fans, do they really need this event to generate buzz about the film? If anything, I'd be just curious to see the costumes!
