Rain himself said it’s just a small cameo role.

I don’t think it’s so bad, Bernie Mac didn’t fuck up the first one … Depending on who you ask.

Also, John aren’t you in ‘The Rocker’???

In other bad news, Michael Bay is returning. This film is doomed!

As for Rainn’s acting, I thought he did a pretty good job in The Last Mimzy in a half-serious role.

I agree with you John. Though you still need to wonder what they consider to be a ‘small role’.

When the casting news of Bernie Mac was being floated around, everyone one was complaining. (much like right now). But his role was only one scene and he fit the role well.

I hope Rainn’s role will be similar to Bernie’s. Just put him in there for one scene, let him do his job, then pull him out and let the story take over.

I’ll never understand why you love the Transformers movie so. Every time you talk it up, it makes me cringe. You are so “on the mark” 99% of the time, how can you be so off on a movie that is 100% special effects and 0% acting, plot, dialog? Transformers is a “D” at best.

But I still love you cuz this blog ROCKS!

Maybe his role will be as big as Bernie Mac’s. He was there for one scene and one scene only.

I like Rainn Wilson fine, but I have to agree with the main issue most keep raising – MORE Humans in a robot movie! I’m not terribly excited about Transformers 2…I’m going to wait and see what the trailer has to offer when the time comes.

I think you are looking into this way to much John. We don’t even know how big of a role it is. He could be in the movie for 3 minutes like Bernie Mac was in the first Transformers. I don’t see this as being a big deal at all.

“When was transformers a comedy?”

Well in the past, a lot of times. Through out the cartoon there was constant comedy though to a lesser extent, like the Autobots learning about Basketball. The famous “Kremzeek” episode which seemed like their version of a Roadrunner short. Grimlock’s role in the later seasons as the dumb comedy relief.

Beat Wars every so often was filled with Comedy as well.

I love Transformers to death but it was not the most serious franchise around, they had those moments true, but they weren’t known for that.

Transformers 2 will be to Transformers what POTC2 was to POTC.

Transformers 3 will then be to the franchise what POTC3 and SM3 were to their respective franchises.

Transformers was a great summer popcorn flick but next year it won’t be all that brand new. Avatar will destroy this movie in visual effects easily.
