What an @$$hole. Bay is a complete and total @$$hole. I've come to terms that we'll never see a decent Transformers adaption in our lifetimes thanks to him, but I find it amusing that people still eat up the garbage he puts on their cinematic plates.
With that kind of attitude do you think the fandom really deserve a movie pandering to the whiners?
You do know why fans don't write movies or have much impact right?
And what's wrong with people liking the movies there are worse movies and those people are not you they have different opinions so next time think before insulting people who enjoy something you don't.
I'll sum it up for you with two lists.
List one, things I don't ever want to see in a Transformers movie, but I have:
•Crass "humor" aimed squarely at slack jawed idiots.
•Discussions about masterbation
•Robots peeing on people.
•Dogs peeing on robots
•Nonsensical plots about conspiracies concerning Transformers affecting humanity's past.
•Plot points wherein characters explain why its okay for them to have sex with an under-aged minor.
•Porny shots of faked baked women in skimpy outfits.
•Weird racism.
•Blatant racism.
•Recycled footage from The Island.
•Chicago getting destroyed more than once.
•Marky Mark playing an inventor.
•Robots that don't transform as much as dissolve into thousands of tiny pieces and reassemble.
•High school boy being put off by ridiculous past of hot girl whose dad stole cars. Or something.
•John Turturro's underwear.
•Editing that looks like it was done by a bunch of interns all high on cocaine.
•Shaky camera for every action scene mixed with random bits of slow motion.
•Characters who act like douchebags, which accounts for all of them.
•Childhood icon Optimus Prime portrayed as a cold blooded killer of both Decepticons and humans who piss him off.
•Divergent story lines and characters that have nothing to do with the rest of the movie.
•Evil government/business conspiracy organizations ... again and again and again.
•There's only one way to defeat this giant evil robot — call the United States military!
•An evil sex bot with a 20-foot long tongue.
Now for list number two, things I'd like to see in a Transformers movie that we haven't seen yet and likely won't as long as Bay is involved —
•Robots besides Optimus and Bumblebee who are actually discernible from each other at a glance.
•Plots that in a broad way, make some kind of sense.
•Appealing characters, both human and robot.
•Transformers treated as characters and not just special effects in the background of Shia's attempts to get laid.
•Plots not driven completely by some type of bullcrap McGuffin.
•Dialog that sounds like regular people and not drunk college frat boys during rush week.
•Character development.
•A basic understanding of story structure.
Look, I didn't say you couldn't enjoy these movies. If you can enjoy these movies, then good for you. I'm not insulting you, but I've hated Michael Bays' style of film making ever since Armageddon.
To me watching these films (well the first one's not as bad as the others) is the cinematic equivalent of slamming my head into a metal door repeatedly. They're loud, every character is obnoxious, they have no theme, they make no sense and their story structure is nonexistent.
If you think my problems are those of a whiner, pull up Rottentomatoes sometime and read some of the reviews there. My problems with these films aren't fanboy Transformer problems, they are fundamental storytelling problems.
