Robo-tard trailer clash: Transformers 3 versus Real Steel

Once upon a time, 'giant robots' was merely a sub-genre of animes. It became relevant when hollywood realized it could make billions by cashing in on a generation's nostalgic childhood memories. It became irrelevant when all the magic was converted into cash and we're left with nothing but a another sequel to a re-hash of a cartoon show made 25 years ago.

Uh Goatboy, how exactly is the "giant fighting robots" sub genre becoming irrelevant? In fact, when was it ever relevant?

So we found aliens on Mars AND the moon? What do you think Neil Armstrong said when they contacted him?

"Neil! Big fan! We want to have someone portray you on the moon, only instead of messing up your line you find an alien spacecraft with a big robot alien inside, and it's gonna be all like KKRRRRCCHHSKKK, CHUT CHUT CHUT, BOOOOOoooo.... BADOW! KRUK KRUK KRUK"

"No thanks."

"We'll pay, and there won't be any racist robots this time!"

"Racist what?"

Will watch both of them, come on, some films you watch because you want have some mindless fun, others because you are horny. And there are ambitious films that you don't watch. Simple.

EDIT: About those when-horny, you watch them only partially, just to be exact. It's hard to sit them through in one go.

EDIT2: That's not I hate ambitious films, it's that they usually go like:

Real Steel could be fun. There are so many dreadul Korean/Chinese robot films, you could probably have a channel with nothing but premieres 24/7.

Would you class the little spaceships in Batteries Not Included as robots? What about the ship from Flight of the Navigator?

I've yet to see a Transformers movie so I don't understand why this one is set in 1969? Or is that an irrelevant diversion before its brought back to present day?

As for Real Steel. What?

Robots used to be cool. Give me Robocop and the Terminator anyday over this shite. Hell, even 'Johnny Five' would be better.

Transformers is retarded,always was and always will be. A film for children and stupid adults. It'll be Transformers 32:Smash of The Smashing and it'll still be a case of "nope" for me.
Wolverine's robot film is silly, people watch boxing/UFC etc to see men being hurt, bloodsport. Robots clanging negates the purpose.

And as Black Mirror says, these sort of films are increasingly irrelevant in this day and age.

Transformers 3 is going to be just like the last film, no matter how much Bay tries to shroud it in 'real life footage' while L'il Shia protests that everyone else 'dropped the ball' on his last few films except him.

That Real Steel trailer though. My God. That looks really awful. I like robots fighting as much as the next guy, but I think it's much more fun if they're duking it out on the outer moon of the planet Xanak. In a boxing ring under the Queensbury rules? CLANG! CLANG....CLANG!

No thanks.

When a writer creates a plot that leads to a dead end you call it 'writing into a corner'. Most writers 'rewind' and try again. Michael Bay does the opposite. He punches a hole through the corner, forcing the plot sideways through it, then rewrites history for good measure.

I had enough 'mindless summer action movie' sequels. I'm going to read the wikileaks and stop getting distracted by fake tin soldiers. Reality is closing in rapidly.

Okay, who here wanted Jackman to burst into this song after he said BRING IT?

Damn, the Real Steel trailer keeps crapping out just as Huge Actorman screams BRING IT. Every single time!

Ah well, that looks epically retarded, and seeing as how I hated the first Transformers and didn't bother with the second one, I'll just be skipping that one as well.

Haha WHAT??

Only Jackman could play that part and make it good.
