The Topless Robot quote pretty much summed up my initial argument.

I realize Transformers media has never been known for great writing and I do enjoy watching the Michael Bay movies on a superficial level, but I will never claim that they are good movies. They're incredibly stupid movies that have well done action scenes. the only way I can really watch them is by fast forwarding all the "comic relief" scenes.

my main motivation reason,is for the state of the art advanced CGI Robots designs & watching robot VS robot fight scenes.

I went through First Class twice, and I'll say that it's a fantastic movie, probably one of the best Marvel movies so far. However, it did have it's flaws, which I won't dwelve into now. Didn't really mean to say that DOTM = First Class. FC is much better, but it's still at that point where DOTM is respectable, and far better than the previous two TF movies.

And this comes from a person who's been following Green Lantern and X-Men far longer than Transformers.

If its any consolation, i thought Brains was holy hell friggin hilarious. Everytime that little sh!t said somethin, i couldn't quit giggling like a retarded school girl.

Finally, I find others who find that defense to be weak, though I'd use insane. Any movie where you have to "shut off your brain" is, by definition, a bad movie as far as I'm concerned. Anyone who uses that phrase in a movie's defense has just made my point for me.

Fortunately, since Michael Bay has apparently said he will not be directing any more of these, I won't have to suffer through any movies that don't reboot the series. I used to look forward to the possibility of a live-action TF movie. Now I hate the idea more than words can describe.

Yeah, i used to think that way, but its like...i dunno...perspective?

Yes, the movies, as a whole, we're terrible, but you kinda just gotta pick out what you liked about them and move on.

I think for the most part, this is what the difference is between a random movie fan and a "genre" or "franchise" is about. The optimist and the pessimist.

The movie fan in me wants to rant and rave at how terrible these movies are.

The franchise fan in me says, "Yeah, stuff was pretty bad, but theres a whole lot that liked."

This has given me an idea for a new thread!

That's just it. I can't find a single redeeming feature in ANY of them. Not one. There was nothing I liked about them. At best, I may have been indifferent to a few elements.

I gotta say since everyone else has put their two cents in on this that I liked the movie. Yes, to me, it was better than Thor, I liked it as equal a Green Lantern (Hail DC Universe), but I did like Fast Five a little better. Sorry, I like fast cars, too. I haven't seen first Class, yet, but I have heard enough to know I can wait for it to come out on BD. And yes, I read comics, too. I love DC and read plenty of Marvel.

Oh come on, that's not really fair.

The introduction of Blackout should have left even the most stubborn Geewuner giddy as a gorilla in a banana factory.

The city battle at the end of the first movie was more suspenseful than the last 2 movies combined.

...no it wasn't. It was just Sam running from Megatron! At least in ROTF and DOTM they had some moments where they where actually fighting back.

There was a sense of dread and uncertainty during the city battle because it seemed like the Decepticons actually had a chance to win.

I never believed to be the case in ROTF nor DOTM.

Once Optimus showed up, you knew the battle was over.
