Look, I know he could gave more screentime to the TFs and could have had more action, but when wass the last time a perfect movie was ever made? I like the movie for what it is and was! Its enough to satisfy me! |

It doesn't matter to them that a lot of other people did like it; they'd rather not see a live action TF movie at all than not see exactly what they wanted.
With some other people I'm convinced it's because they made such a loud fuss before they saw the movie, and before it did so well at the box office, that they can't be seen to climb down on what they said now.  | |

I really really liked it !!!! Snarl; Quotes:  "Not see again either, because we dino-might them to pieces!"
"Snarl like too, Sludge. Like, like, like whole bunch!"

Megan Fox sucks. | |

These points I believe are down to MB. I didn't even know who he was till this movie but I can see his style in the other films he's made. Some I like, some are a bit rubbish but they all seem watchable.
Things like script issues, design issues etc I don't think can be pointed soley at MB.
I take it MB is doing 2 and 3 also? | |

Bay does have a say in the script and in interviews he has said that he puts in his own jokes on the spot when filming scenes. So a lot of dumb scenes could be a direct result of Bay.
The only other director that could possibly make this good is Spielberg. Spielberg. | |

The faces are aweful, these guys barely have real hand, and the robot body design barely resemble anything in their alt.mode.
My only reason for going to see the movie and will purchase the DVD once is out is to show my support for the TF franchise. Hopefully TF2 is better. And more hopefully, please more TF interaction and less "close up shot fighting scene".

I mean yeah, we all have our little gripes about the movie, but there are some people out there that really just can't seem let them go and decide to beat them like a dead horse and clog up our boards with them.
I actually feel bad for them, as it seems like these people are unable to enjoy anything. It's sad really. Stuff I'm Selling here @ TFW2005 | |

I enjoyed the movie but it had some pretty obvious flaws to me. I don't really care for Michael bay anything. but i like how when people make legitimate complaints about the film, everyone is like, "oh noes, enjoy it for what it was its a transformer movie lolz why do you hate everything?!!?"
people are allowed to not like things, especially Micheal bay. get that guy a steady cam and limit his cuts. seriously, i don't need to see Sam enter the junkyard from 5 different angles. | |
