    I have no words for all that...


    Edit: my favorite quote "I wouldn't waste my time with the version without cursing," he joked. "I'm hard core."

    What a tool...I'm hardcore cause my cartoon says shit.:rolleyes2

    "This is my childhood. Don't mess with my childhood."

    Wow...I'm sorry but what a loser! And this is coming from a guy sitting in Superman apparel! Just...wow...I mean, that's sad.

    I like the review, especially when he notes that fans should add a star or two to his score. I also like the note at how simple the movies plot is compared to the over complicated stories of Pirates and Spider-Man

    Wow this guy is definitely at the bottom of the people barrel. What a pathetic moron. "I didn't like people as a kid" Well, it just shows how much of a freaking loser he is. He has never made it in life and ridiculed so much growing up that he has to attach himself to the 80's for dear life and never let go, because in the present, he is a nobody and never will be.

    Anyway ... THIS is what im talking about. A self confessed super-nerd from the 80's with nothing to live for except a few plastic trinkets and posters. I am willing to bet he is the kind of person who would up and kill himself if someone burned his entire Transformers collection in front of him because they ARE his life.

    I dont know ... maybe someone will come up with medication for his issues, or psychological therapy. Because until that happens, he will always be a pathetic nerdy loser.

    What?! Please, Michael Bay is making Transformers cool again. And if this guy is a "true-fan" he'd give his $10 to Transformers. It's damn like saying "Im a huge BMW fan, love the cars, but I wouldn't waste my money to have one."

    From the movie review,


    I wish I could have gotten a car when I was in seventh-grade. Sammy boy must have been held back a few years.

    Well...

    Altohugh I share some of his thoughts regarding the movie, I do think he is an idiot.
    If he is willing to sneak into the movie theater, why does he says that in the newspaper ?!? Probably he REALLY wants to get arrested. Do it, but don't tell anyone.

    Seriously, that boy is a tool. From the looks of it, he hasn't grown up at all which you can tell from his mentality.

    Also, you can't take the press seriously. They are a bought tool that writes whatever they are told to write. It's hard to find unbiased news lately.

    Bad idea allowing himself to be photographed.

    Can you american guys do us all a favour and mock him if he turns up at a future Botcon, or, any convention, really? Unless he thinks he's too hardcore to be seen with other fans.

    Wow, another rant by a fanboy who can't pull his head out of his ass and realize G1 isn't the only thing the Transformers name has to offer. Everything he said was dicredited before it was even written.

    I laugh at the critics. They try to sound all intelligent and important, and then they call Shia a seventh-grader! I wonder what happens when they get confronted by open-minded people who aren't paid to complain?

    Wow, I find it hilarious that the media picks one "hardcore fan" to represent the seemingly overwhelming spiteful sentiment toward Bay. :lol 

    And to boot, I don't consider the NY Post a real newspaper. The only thing worth reading in the paper is possibly their notable Sports section.

    I shan't even comment, as he's condemned himself out of his own mouth.
    I would add that not only am I so pleased that the reviews are turning out to be so positive, but also that the few bad ones are mostly of such poor quality and so predictable.

    I think its funny that he is such a hardcore fan, but he keeps his Transformers locked away under his bed.

    A seventh-grader? That would be about five grades above whoever wrote that article...

    Though that's probably insulting to the vast majority of second-graders!
