The first movie was a decent flick, the ROTF just has its priorities wrong. I don't think it has done anything respectful for the brand and the brand's target audience (children). Yeah sure we can have humour and a love interest, but I think we can leave the crude humour out. It should only be about the transformers and their human allies, with a story people can relate to. And make it enjoyable for adults, include realism, action and suspense, and this stuff is still ok for children as well. No more military, Let the autobots be the heroes for a change. If the autobots are represented as trully awesome heros, that is all that is needed to save the next sequel in my opinion. And if the decepticons are not treated as cannon fodder this is also win! Humans are cannon fodder 'evil'. If michael bay wants to regurgitate the same crap, then yes change to someone else.
