The first one ticked me off, I'm only interested in this one to see how much worse Michael "I-only-took-the-gig-'cos-it-was-about-a-boy-and-his-first-car" Bay can stuff it up. Mr Explosions didn't want to do a movie about giant transforming robots but did like the boy/car buddy flick angle? Odie = vindicated.
To everyone who went into this expecting anything but what STL so aptly described, I'd just like to say: Bwahahahaha!BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Sorry, it's gotta be said.
Pretty much. If I try watching anything other than BW or Animated with my head turned on I 1: get a headache and 2: start feeling depressed over how much time, energy and money I've poured into this hobby/addiction. Seriously, do not turn to Transformers for intellectual depth, it's not what they're about (i.e. selling toys) and with very few exceptions you will be disappointed.
That honest review was great, if I can get baked enough and find some fellow not-emotionally-invested fans it sounds like a fun movie.
