Michael Bay is easily the worst director working in Hollywood today. Anyone who actually enjoys his movies obviously doesn't know what a good action movie entails: Interesting characters in exciting situations. Not Shia LeBitch screaming at a green screen for 2 and a half hours. And don't give that, "Oh dude it's just a popcorn movie it doesn't have to be good." Movies like this are not popcorn movies, they're just horrible movies.
I don't believe that for a second. Not that Micheal Bay sucks at directing, I think he has some pretty strong competition for Worst Director and doesn't win that title easily. I've got my money on Uwe Boll. Now, we simply need to have a death-match tournament to determine the worst director of all time. The survivor will be rewarded by being shot into the sun.

I don't get the hatred for these films. Did you people honestly go to TWO of these movies expecting deep plots and moving characters?

Saying these movies are bad because they're all actiony and over the top is like saying Casablanca is bad because it's too focused on romance. Duh, that's the point!

They never promise anything other than insane over-the-top robot deathmatches and if you expected anything more from them, frankly you're an idiot.

This looks awesome, I shall be seeing it.
Yah not to mention transformers has never been more then just mindless action, it was all just a gimmick to sell the transformers toys, the first show wasn't that good nor was the first movie (the cartoon one not the modern one), they had so many cliche lines that even the shit loving kid I was couldn't help but to hate them, the original Megatron was retarded (the leader transforms into a pistol that Starscream uses.....anyone else found that kinda weird? I know in later versions he became a tank but that's different) and when I saw the newest show christ they just stopped caring and added in even more albeit better cliches, but still Megatron transforms into a special custom car no one on earth has complete with spikes, and considering the plot was concerning a massive war that everyone on earth becomes aware of the "robots in disguise" thing was irrlevant by that point. Beast wars? What possible reason would you have to transform into animals? What are they gonna do? Eat the Energon?

The only thing I found off about the movie is how much it involved the US military, other then that it's standard transformers as it has always been. That and Megatron transforms into a space ship no one has ever made so that's no real disguise, still the 2nd movie they finally utilized their disguise for the first time I've ever seen it done in anything transformers related to its full use when the Decepticons attack.

First and foremost MICHAEL BAY IS NOT THE WORST DIRECTOR IN HOLLYWOOD. Uwe Boll is.
Secondly, ignoring some of the REALLY annoying robots in the second one both films aren't really as bad as everyone makes out, seriously, if you think that Transformers is the worst movie you have ever seen, you can't have seen many movies. (Personally I think the worst film ever made is "Razor blade smile" but whatever)
Thirdly, I will be going to see this. It looks ok, just like the others, I personally like sitting down, watching a bunch of robots have off at each other then have random explosions occur every now and then.

I dunno, everyone I know is pissed off because there isnt enough about the which is what transformers is supposed to be about, not megan "ooh look at me I'm soooo sexy" fox and FUCKING shia lebouf trying to get jiggy with each other, robot testicles or annoying racial stereotypes like skid and mudflaps. They annoy me because it's not about the transformers fighting decepticons really, they're more of a framing device for Shia and Megan to get it on more than anything. I would be perfectly happy if the plot was no more complicated than your average super hero movie, i just want to see Robots damn it!
Hmmm...yeah that is a good point I suppose. I never liked Megan Fox anyway *ducks soda can thrown by straight man in the back row* or Shia Le-whatshisface *accepts trophy* but to me they're at least bearable, somewhat.

But I'll agree with you. This film needs to focus on the thing the title says. It's about TRANSFORMERS, not a randomly very attractive nerdy guy trying to get his leg over the disgustingly conventionally attractive supermodel who happens to be in High School and somehow finds the nerd appealing.

And let's not even start on the horrifically bland army squad who had no reason to be in either preceding movie. I severely hope they all got sliced to ribbons by Decepticons before the 3rd movie starts and nobody ever mentions them again.

Also, and this a fan talking here...GIVE STARSCREAM SOMETHING TO DO! Seriously, in both movies he's just been a pathetic lackey who appears only briefly in each film only to be insulted, abused and ordered around by Megatron. Yes, Megatron is awesome. But so is Starscream, and the sooner they start playing up his treacherous side, the better. The best they've done so far is him taking brief control while Megatron was dead between films, and even then he was just the Fallen's *****, so he was never the main guy.

I don't mind the all the action scenes. It's how Bay directs them that bugs the hell out of me. His scenes are always so damn busy that you can never tell what the hell is going on or whose winning or even who's who.
See I think I'm in the minority. Every negative review of these films I've read said "they were so busy I couldn't tell what was happening" but...even when it got to it's most "ROBOTS AND EXPLOSIONS EVERYWHERE" moments, I still never had trouble telling which robot was which and what was happening. And trust me, I have the worst eyesight in the whole fucking world.

Meh - these are fun to watch if you want something brainless to entertain you for a couple of hours. Not such a bad thing to be honest ^^

And it's in 3D...

Then why use a source with so much back story, myth and character if your just gonna have them shooting at each other all the time outside of when humans are on screen running to/from something,doing something for a cheap joke or Belittling the namesake of the title as lesser being to humans rather than at least equals, Decepticons do this to humans and other organic lifeforms because they're evil. What are Sam's,The Government/Army (In the second movie.), or Bay's excuse? Evil,Ignorance,or hatred?

I love brainless action movies, and Transformers is a great series for this kinda stuff. I'm excited.
So you love Avatar and hate Inception?
I never said that I didn't like anything. I simply stated what I did like.
So no, I liked Inception.

Well, it can't get much worse then transformers 2. Wait Micheal Bay is still directing? He probably is going to take that as a challenge.

Did I just see Dragon Megatron?

(Shudder after watching it again.)I'll let that go as long as it wasn't really Skylinx or Swoop or that they are in the movie too.

I'd like to see Michael Bay do a Care Bears movie.

Just think about that for a minute.

You've started grinning, haven't you?
I laughed so hard my cat looked at me funny.

Who keeps letting Michael Bay keep shitting on my childhood?
Probably the same people that let the X-men movies exist, people that hate happiness and joy.

OT: I saw and I wasn't impressed. Honestly, they need to stop, they've done enough damage, so you would think they would just go home and leave it well enough alone.

You fucks want to know something? You're just bitching over the latest popular thing. It's a fun movie, put your criticism out of your mind, lean back, and enjoy watching giant robots blow each other to hell. That's why people enjoy this film, why can't you people?
Oh well thanks for helping me see the light, how dare I demand movies of substance, how dare I want movies that actually have a point other than for Michal Bay to make a bunch of explosion/CGI porn that he can fap to at night while laying on huge piles of money.


They're not exactly my favorite, and if you don't like them fine. But don't keep stepping on people just because they like them.
Did I ever say that the people who like these movies are stupid because they like these movies? Did any of the people you quoted? No we didn't.

And don't keep stepping on Michael Bay just because he likes to make things explode.He at least did a decent job with Pearl Harbor.

I will criticize Bay for his unnecessary explosions and all around crappy take on the Transformers series. Also Pearl Harbor sucked really, really bad.

Just put in more robots, less Shia, and less shitty humor, and it might be good!

How are they going to explain the lack of Megan Fox in the movie and the random apperance of a new girl?

ARE THEY EVEN GOING TO TRY?!?
