Rocky 4 was better than Rocky 1.

G.I Joe 2 can't possibly be worse than the first one.

But far and away the best sequel is going to be Titanic 2 the Surface: Jack's Back

[Lamborghini_diablo]

Dude I freaking LOVE that trailer.

So far in their progress of making the movie,they made this.

Every time I read it, I only see "Trans 3 Formers"... Just has "FAIL" written all over it in my book 

[Good Samaritan]

Oh,too bad

This is because someone just took a Transformers 1 poster and slapped a 3 on it.

Breaking: Megan Fox won't be in Transformers 3!  Hooray!

[Alex_Olijar]

Woot! Now I might actually see the movie.

[BubbleBoy]

Nice! I really wasn't a big fan of her...

[Good Samaritan]

Nice! I really wasn't a big fan of her...

me neither,i'm surprised,i was positive she was gonna be in it.

The first movie of every movie series is always the best. 
     Transformers was its own story,but Transformers 2 started a new one that did't relate to the first one that much.
I can't imagine what Transformers 3 is going to be about.

Good, because honestly I want to have less sex appeal in my robot violence movies . And yes, I stole this quote but I still find it funny!

[STAMP]

I agree.  The best way to ruin a great action flick is for some female character asking the male protagonist, "What are you feeling or thinking about?"

It almost, I repeat, almost ruined the latest Star Trek movie.  The Uhura/Spock thing just didn't belong.

[The Schaef]

Yeah, but it set up two great lines.

"What do you need?  Tell me what you need."
"I need... for everyone to continue performing admirably."

- and -

"So her first name's Nyota?"
"I have no comment on the matter."

Besides, that's what happens when you create an alternate timeline: things are mostly the same but subtly different.  Uhura and Spock hook up, Agent Dunham keeps her gun in her jacket, and there are polar bears on the island.

[STAMP]

I completely agree with the latter.  The former is not the greatest line given.  It's okay but could have been delivered in a different context rather than following the sappy "what do you need" romantic relationship-type line.

You bring up a point as to why I think the Star Trek series will be better than ever, and why I can't wait for the next installment.  They've introduced the alternate timeline.  And after watching the special features on the DVD I am convinced that JJ Abrams is the right guy to pull it off.

Didn't hurt that they had almost the entire (surviving) original cast on set to meet with their counterparts and give their blessing to the new production.  Nimoy in particular: the story would not have worked without him, nor the ties to the old series, so he literally could have killed the entire project if he didn't like the pitch.

Definitely goes without saying but now that you bring that up I think if they keep Nimoy et al involved it will only get better.

On that note, what storylines do you think are possible for the next installment, especially now that we have the alternate timeline?  Do you think we'll see Khan?  The Romulans are supposedly dead but you know how movies are...they can alwayd find some surviving members of the race somewhere in space.

[The Schaef]

well, I don't know what level of involvement the old cast will have now that they've "passed the torch"... I know Nimoy in particular has recently retired from acting and public appearances, so it seems his return to Fringe in the two-part season finale was his swan song.

I think Khan will appear eventually, he's Kirk's nemesis, but I don't know if they'll go straight to that card right away, tempting as it may be.

The Romulans are not dead.  The Romulans 130 years from "now" are dead, and Nero and his buddies are dead.  The Romulans in the "now" are none the wiser for any of this, although now we have advance warning and can possibly save them to win peace.  Assuming a distrustful race such as they would even believe a story like that in the first place.

At this point, having a clean slate to work with, they could re-invent just about any story they want, or conjure entirely new ones.  It could literally be anything.  What gives me great hope for the franchise is they are not rushing to cash in another script right away.  That's what killed the TNG movie line, and it hasn't been very kind to the Transformers sequel(s?).
