The reason i don't like this trilogy.

The first time i wanted to watch transformers, i wanted to see some awesome robot battle.
But when i watched go by one by one and lasted only like 2 min. I was very dissapointed.
There isn't alot of action in these movies. And the rest of storyline is just stupid.

And when there are actually some decent battle's going to happen, i have no idea what the *beep* is going on! I thought action movies are suppose to show the action, but what we got are one of the most ridiculous shacky-cam's in cinema history! Even the bourne trilogy did it better. Why didn't micheal bay learn from pacific rim. That is one awesome giant monster movie with some decent action.

I can't say this enough, but my biggest complain where the action sequences. Most fights lasted 1 or 2 min. When they should make fights that will last like 6 min atleast. And in most of the battle sequences you have no idea who is shooting who. And those sequences will only last like 5 min.

I think the most dissapointing part for me were the action sequences in this whole trilogy, because it was just really boring, not exiting, just some random explosions, and that's the biggest reason why the transformers trilogy sucked.

AKA. The fourth one should have never been made.

Dark of the moon is my fave of the four movies but why a big fight at the end which was the same äs the other three?? Why not have a robot fight on the moon?? With the cast there as well, a 190 million budget surely could have done this

Firstly, Del Torro is a far better director then Bay. Secondly the third and forth film (to a lesser extent) use notably less shaky cam then the first two and certainly less then Bourne 2 and 3. It is part of Bays style though, if you don't like it fair enough, but I don't think we should be asking him to change, we should simply not see films by film makers we don't like the style of.

I wouldn't ask Wes Anderson to change his style, I wouldn't ask Bay to either. I would ask Bay to perhaps focus more on the story and less on unnecessary scenes, but such is life.

Paul Greengrass is the only one who can actualy do some good shacky cam. I want to see the action insteadt of the freaking story, cuz I dont give a frak about the story, these movies can't deliver and good action.

There are a few others, but generally yeah, shaky cam is used to cover issues. With Paul it isn't and you can still understand and feel everything that is happening. To me The Bourne Ultimatum is the best argument for what shaky cam can do for a film. But there are so many bad examples.
