Everything was massive but not a good teaser, it felt rushed. I thought Mark saying "Get behind me" with blue sky in the background was an odd choice to add amonst the baysplosions and he was clearly in other snippets. Maybe it would be better to freeze that frame and have his name subtitled.
And the cgi will be vastly improved by ticket time :D Unfortunately you cannot promise improved stories :(
Looking at the stills of the Green bot I see Chicago is in one piece again after getting torn apart from Megatron's takeover in DOTM. Since this movie is taking place after DOTM Chicago should still be ruins.
It took the Americans over a decade to build just one building at One World Trade in New York. I doubt they could rebuild all of Chicago in the 3 years since Megatron ripped it apart.
WTC was mostly due to politicians, interest group and red tape getting in the way. A whole city reconstruction might be easier... and we don't know how long it has been since the third movie either. They don't want to jump too far ahead though, as there was already a few years between each of the others, so if it includes something real-world (like the odd president cameo of TF1 & TF2).
Several big clear images have been sent to TFW by shootfortheedit site, for a better look at the robots in the trailer.
I think it did it's job as a teaser trailer, it still feels very much like what's come before it. Even after all this time I haven't fully warmed up to the movie aesthetic but I remain optimistic that I'll be entertained for the duration of the film.
Man that cap trailer was awesome! Winter soldier can not come quick enough!
Except for the obvious new additions to the cast it looks like DOTM part 2 to me, very similar vibe to it.
But seeing Op riding Grim is just wrong, I wish I could un see it :eek:

Winter Soldier on the other hand. HOWDY FRIKKING DOODY!
Riiight...
The only second in the entire trailer that says 'hey - maybe this movie isn't total $#!*" is Optimus riding a dinosaur in rural Japan. The film looks so bad that this time I don't intend to even waste my time watching it.
I'm pretty excited for the movie, I don't mind the organic look of the Baybots.
In addition to the usual giant fighting, transforming robots (as if that wasn't awesome enough), we also get to see an enormous robot dinosaur destroying things. Does it get any better?
I'm going in open minded regarding the plot (not that the last three movies had much of one) in that I'm not expecting too much. I don't mind Bay's interpretation of the franchise too much, after all it has to appeal to (or at least entertain) a much wider audience than the fanbase. That means the story writing and characters are open to some creative licence if the film wants to make money at the box office and be competitive with the market in general, in relation to this type of genre.
I'm looking forward to the next instalment. Robots, explosions, a good looking female lead actor. It has all the elements necessary to grab my attention at least. :D
