Awful movie

I especially hate how Michael Bay's fanboys are trying to stick up for him by saying "Well, the cartoon is actually a lot worse". Obviously, everybody has their own opinion, but HOW IN THE HELL IS THIS ANY BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL CARTOON?! The humans in G1 were bland at best, but they weren't rude and obnoxious like those in the Bayformers trilogy, and the autobots were Gary-Stu types to some extent, but at least they weren't used as racial stereotypes!

To be fair though, I will give the first (2007) movie credit for getting me into the cartoons (including the newer ones), but the sequels were SH-T compared any of the Transformer shows I came across. I tried giving these movies another chance after "Revenge of the Fallen", but this POS fell flatter than roadkill.

"Transformers: Animated" even had a better storyline and characters that Michael Gay could NEVER pull-off in these exploding pornos!!!

(I'm sorry for freaking out like this, I just hate this movie so damn much.)


"Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!"

Not a whining post but a necessary post to express views, concerns, and expectations. I completely agree this movie was awful with regards to story and casting among other issues. I understand that block buster action films aren't known for their stories, content, or plots. However, if yer going to base the film on a previous story why not at least stick somewhere close to the script. The original cartoon had a lot more plot, story, and character depth as mentioned by a lot of the people who have seen it and it was successful. So then why not add these elements to this action film? It's an added value that also appeals to fans of the original series. What is the point in making an action film that only attracts a few customers when it can be made to fit a much greater audience!?
If yer going to take the overall plot and use the name "Transformers", respect should be given to what the story actually is, the depth and originality of the characters rather than a guise to show graphics, a "model", and a few lines that make you smile and chuckle. It also appears there was no intent in appealing to the fans of Transformers, particularly with what happens to Ironhide and especially Starscream.
The original transformers not only had a working story-line but the characters were original, their relationships were interesting enough to keep someone watching and wanting for me accompanied by good action. Imo that is what a good action film is. An action film is not just action.
