What a fucking cluster fuck.
Zero character development, why wasnt sam wickwitty named "Spike", why was bumblebee the main character? What were the fight scenes such a mess of moving parts that you can't tell wtf is going on. It was clearly a huge advertisment for the US Army, could basically be used as a recruitment propaganda film at many points. The blantant use of GM cars was horrible... the use of "The Cube" and "All Spark" were horrible - why even bother using these things if you're not going to use them properly? There were so many useless plot lines that went no where, so many useless scenes, so many inconsistencies its not even funny - and zero character development in terms of 90% of the transformers, autobots and decepticons alike - WAYYY too much time spent with human interactions to be considered a true "transformers" movie...
Honestly, I'm only being so hard on the film because it was supposed to be associated with the original "Transformers"... I kept sitting there thinking, okay, this isnt so bad just remember this is Michael Bay, its not supposed to be authentic. But FUCK he could have accomplished the same movie and used the same effects and shit if he just made a movie about robots from outer space that invade earth, there was NO NEED for any of the transformers stuff because it was used so poorly its not even funny. Honestly, if he had just left the whole transformers things alone and made the movie about alien robots in general I would have said wow, that was pretty good the special effects - pixar are fucking amazing... but no, in my opinion that was a horrible cluster fuck on so many levels.... now I'm done, bash away all you want but it wont change my mind... I'm going to go watch the original movie and purge my mind of all of this nonsense.
