No I'm serious. I love the TF movies! Sure he could have been given a better story to work with but I think he has done some awesome work. And I think the sales from DOTM show that. I wouldn't mind if he re did the original (and the best) G1 movie, that'd be sweet! Although I'm sure all the hard core G1 fans would cry out in anger and say things like "you've had unwanted sexual relations with my childhood memories" or something along those lines.
I really hope there will be more Transformers, and less (if no) humans!
I agree. Ok, they weren't perfect, but they were still immensely entertaining, which, after all, is what movies like this are for, and the sequels (particularly DotM) show that feedback is taken into consideration.
And far from having my 'childhood ruined', I would say the first movie took me back to my childhood; the experience of seeing these colossal robots on screen left me gawking at the screen in amazement like a little kid.
^ aww yeah!

Hursti I'm with you, i have quite pleased with the films. They didn't ruin my childhood nor did they replace any particular part of the canon for me.
As stand alone films they are great and i know of many non-transfans that love the films.
I have no doubt that a forth instalment will be just as good and will receive the same praise and the same heat no matter how good or bad it is.
I too love these movies and i also saw these a couple of times at the cinema, of course ROTF left a bit to be desired but there were writing and shooting the movie at the same (due to the writers strike). I still fast skip to the scene when the Autobots (the first movie) arrive and we see them transform for the first time (Optimus was awesome). I would like to see a reboot and maybe follow the original story line.
Tyrese Gibson has commented about being interested in returning to the Transformers franchise, if his character returns.
Yep definitely agree, I started collecting just prior to the announcement of the first Bayformers movie but aside from a couple of generations figures there wasn't a lot around that appealed to me. Of course once the movie was announced and the screenshots and shorts were released I was completely captivated!
I remembered collecting the figures as a child and watching the series on tv and it brought back all those memories, but better still it really peaked my interest. The more "organic" feel to the Baybots really appealed to me and I've really enjoyed the subsequent toyline.
Since then I've started collecting various paraphanalia from various lines and have gotten into most of the takes on the franchise since. I think each take has its own individual appeal and as a fan I am not necessarily partial to one over another, I can appreciate each interpretation of the story for what it is.
So whoever directs TF4 (if indeed they make a TF4), I'm not too fussed about as long as they create something the fans and others will enjoy.
