Did the "nerds" say why they are going crazy? As near as I can tell, it seems like the same old sh@t in a different paper bag.

Mmm I didn't exactly check in with everyone, but some responses on Twitter and YouTube seemed somewhat excited and popular. The initial Like to Dislike ratio was also better on the trailer than it was for the initial teaser trailer. (I haven't checked it lately though.)
I don't think there's any guarantee that this will be a great movie, but just the fact that Michael Bay isn't directing will make me at least pay attention to reviews.
