Hmm...
Transformers sucked.
Oh yes, and not only did it suck a little, it sucked miserably.
Let's start with the basics though first, let's talk about it's valadity as a film. Michael Bay, who by the way is an arrogrant, pompous ass, who believes he knows exactly what a film needs, and without saying it that he's the best filmmaker ever. Every line, every adjustment to the film, all of it was so damn ridiculous. For me the entire film and Michael Bay as a person, was hit home with the line, "This is bigger than Armageddon!", I was waiting for him to stick in the line, "This is more epic than Titanic!". All of the casting decisions were terrible (except for that Fox of a Fox Megan!). The characters were derivative (THERE WERE 4 TOKEN BLACK GUYS!), the plot wasn't even about the Transformers, and the only saving grace, the action, was destroyed by the "artistic" (sloppy) choice of camera work he decided to employ.
Now let's talk about it's connection to the Franchise.
WHAT CONNECTION?! Besides the inclusion of Peter Cullen as the voice of Optimus Prime, this doesnt' follow any of the rich storyline that Transformers once had. And let me tell you, it was a wonderful one. In fact, Michael Bay choose to base it off of the fuckin' toyline! You can't base a film off of a toyline...for fucks sake. His choices for the little things, like the flames on Optimus made him look completely ridiculous! Not to mention that the Transformers to Human screen time ratio was favoring the humans way too much. In fact, the movie should have just been called "Humans who happen to, for a time, meet the Transformers".
This is hardly the best movie of the year, and if you honestly think that, than apparently you dont' watch very many movies.
