When asked if he would be interested in doing a third movie in the Transformers series or move on to a different franchise Michael Bay had this to say "I could see myself doing a third movie, but I want to take a year off no matter what." Michael Bay also states that Transformers 2 currently is running for 2 hours and 20 minutes but Michael is still hard at work in the editing room. Michael will shave the unnecessary jargon down and out. My guess is we will probably get a movie that runs a little over two hours. Which is great.
Some people didn't like the way Michael Bay handled the first installment of the Transformers franchise. Some would say all he does is blow things up and its all rubbish. But that point of view is to far from the truth when it comes to Transformers. I went to see Transformers opening weekend and it was the first movie I have sat in were people cheered when Optimus Prime introduced himself since Spiderman. The character content was there, Shia and Megan turned in good performances as did the rest of the cast, and seeing Starscream transform in mid flight to destroy a couple of F16's and then transform back into a jet and take off again was freeking awesome.
I'm excited to see Transformers 2 and I'm also happy that this isn't the end of the journey. I could sit through endless Transformer movies as long as it has a decent script and Megan Fox is working underneath my hood:)
