    Really? Because his action scenes are terrible.

    Oh, the Shockwave argument. One of my favorites.
    Shockwave was essentially a tool to hide the Sentinel twist. Nothing more. It could've been any character but they just decided to call him Shockwave and make him appear to be Shockwave. Personally, I agree in a way with you. They shouldn't have wasted Shockwave like that, but it was their way of making the fans excited for the villain while at the same time hiding the fact that Sentinel would turn out to be a traitor.

    Oh and he did speak. Once.

    I think his action scenes are all that's good. They're pretty...primal. They hit at the core of what action is all about. Adrenaline, excitement, and the sense of rush. I think he's pretty good in the action department because he knows the formula well. However, I think that's ALL he can really do. I'd argue that there's other directors that can give you action yet still deliver other things. Del Toro proved that in Pacific Rim when it comes to mech based movies. Tarantino can also deliver a good action movie that has more than just that in it as well.

    You say "primal", I say "sloppy".

    From what I remember of watching Bayformers 2007 on TV a few years ago, the action is primal. Whether or not that's a good thing, I still found the fight scenes unappealing to watch due to the ugly designs and the drawn-out lack of plot not bringing any excitement to the battles. The first part of the movie relied on "ohmygodgiantrobotafteryou", which did nothing for me since I'm one of those people who wants some motivation for the giant robot. The Mission City cube-football was too dumb in concept for me to enjoy.

    the idea of this 'father figure' protecting his daughter and not trusting the boyfriend is really, reeallly lame. I mean, even if it is an original script, it seems very cliche... like Battleship and the role Liam Neson played.

    The more I find out, the less excited i get. We need to get a trailer....FAST.

    I actually like the idea, it's better than a dad and his manchild who both wear work clothes everyday even though they never go to work and can spend all their days with giant robots :p

    If it doesn't spend minutes focusing on someone's butt or ******ed potty humor scenes, it will be an improvement.

    But I agree. It's another live-action TF movie where the robots are guest stars. Well, at least I'm not surprised.

    Looking far more forward to the next animated series. Actually, I'm looking far more forward to the X-Files/Transformers crossover Conspiracy comic than TF4.

    English I meant. Unless you count "Driller Bot is thirsty" in the subtitles :lol  Otherwise it's Cybertronian, which according to roy is "mumbling" apparently.
