    I kind of wonder sometimes though just how much movie fans need.

    Toy Fair was movie focused from Hasbro and other than a little stuff from Transformers Prime the main focus of Bot Con was on movie related toys. Micheal Bay got inducted into the Transformers Hall of Fame at Bot Con as well.

    A flood of movie related items in stores.

    A video game and comic books connected to the movie.

    A live action film playing at just about every movie theater.

    But with all that there is the notion that it's not enough because they also only need positive things said about the movie. It just doesn't seem like much of a discussion if the rule is you can only say nice things.

    What makes them bad? The writing, for the most part.

    some of the crappy humor bothered me, but otherwise, i love the movies. One thing I find funny is that people say that Megatron's scheme of the sun harvester was too far-fetched and then praise DOTM for taking plots from G1 when, if one were to look, they had a similar device in G1 as well! That confuses me greatly

    I wonder is bay thinks "Saving private Ryan" has too much army stuff in it?
    prolly scoffs at the potential profit lost from not having product placement everywhere and generalizing the story to bring in those that dont want to see a realistic masterpiece

    I really wonder if the ratio of Transformer Vs Human screen time was flipped there would be half as many complaints?
    for the record I loved what I saw of the robots sure not as good as IDW Comic book designs but still cool , and wow new modes GREAT now just show em doin lots of great stuff !
    this is a complaint that does relate to the films in a advertising build up kind of way :
    MAYBE Hasbro should have a Concept heading on there movie line of toys like Ironman!
    sure they like to keep secrets about whats in and whats not in the films but letting us come to some conclusion that ends up NOT being in the film is just BS like all these teched up modes ie Solar!??! panels and nitro bb's an all that stuff! I mean I'm happy that the wreckers didn't get a silly dog an all but c mon Ultimate prime!?!?!??!
    but Bay wouldnt know what to do with that stuff anyway as he only leaves split seconds for anything good after wasting so much time on silly cartoon character human BS!
    did someone say hey Micheal Bay wanna make a movie about a cartoon? BAY: oh hell yes I love Bugs Bunny

    They explain it, name the ship, show them flying to the moon and getting out of the ship with lunar rovers and such.

    Well I don’t claim to know everything that has ever been posted by anyone, but for the most part, I haven’t seen anything like ‘the rule is you can only say nice things.’
    The issue I’m talking about it when there’s a thread like ‘What’s your favorite scene’ or ‘Favorite quote from the movie’ but the thread is hijacked by people who want to convince others that they can’t have a favorite scene because the movie sucks.

    Time for an episode of Sounwave's terminology.

    G-Whinner (Noun) - Someone who worships Transformers G1, but hates anything else Transformers that is even remotley different from G1.

    Sentance: "Just because Megatron doesn't turn into a gun, doesn't mean it sucks you G-Whinner.

    That concludes our episode of Soundwave's terminology. :lol

    In my opinion, only the first movie is worth watching on a big screen in this trilogy. FUCK THE REST!

    one word: EXPECTATIONS. individual expectations.

    expect suckage, you'll find it, you'll surely try.

    expect silly FUN, Bay delivers in abundance.

    seek and you shall find, they say.

    Yeah, ROTF isn't "worse movie of all time" it's an ok transformers movie, but it's just ugly to watch. I could watch dark of the moon as much as i watch the first one.
