I liked the script that was leaked, looks like they kept most of it.
People hated Bob Skir for Beast Machines, etc...yet people now sit around and say "Oh yeah, I remember that. Wasn't so bad. It wasn't Star Trek Voyager bad."
If you want a fandom favorite script, write one your damn self, and when it's turned down because it sucks (and they hired these guys because they're professionals....) I guess you'll just have to swallow it.
If you hate it that bad, just don't spend a dime on any of it. How difficult is that?

So they have basically said they've been re-writting the script (i'm assuming the TF bits as everything else has been filmed) right up until the last possible minute, thus proving it was all still a work in progress, and people are condemning their work. And without even seeing the final product. Some of the people on this site truly make me ashamed to be a part of this fandom.
Even if you don't like what they churn out, at least they took the time to communicate as much as they could with the "fandom".
*Sigh*
I request to see your tickets stubs for White Chicks, Kangaroo Jack, Catwoman, Eragon, Bloodrayne, Alone in the Dark, and Little Man since I not allowed to judge whether or not to see a film by:
-Trailer
-Promo Art
-Photos
-Director
-Cast
-Script
-Designs
-Cast and Crew Interviews
-Respect for the Source Material (my personal favorite)

To me it invokes the spirit of the early G1 eps., but hey that's my opinion, and I'm sure someone will tear mr to shreads over it.
Hey I liked White Chicks and Alone in the Dark, to each his own I suppose. And all the stuff you mention I as well as many others happen to like. Remember, your opinion doesn't reflect the entire fandom, just a select few.

The scene is in the trailer- it is confirmed. This will be laughably bad- and even worse- it will be bland. The action will be okay- but we won't give a damn about the robots, who are just set dressing, each getting a handful of lines. Most of the picture focusses on the "humor" of "a boy and his car." Don't forget: "A boy and his car."

The same could be said for Boogie Nights.
*edit
Can I use that as my sig?
Football refers to the main character (the human) running away from megs in the crumbling building. He uses his mad football skills to run away from megatron, carrying the matrix- (sorry, the energon cube). Megs can't catch him he's so fast.
But maybe that's how every movie should end... Hell, if the Crow used more football moves- maybe the franchise could spit out a couple more direct to DVD sequels.
This doesn't need to be Citizen Kane, in fact it can't be given it's concept- but it can still be a smart piece of Sci-Fi with great characters and a memorable story.
