These threads criticising people who don't like the movie are becoming as boring, stale and old as the "Michael Bay raped my childhood threads" from last year. It's a movie, some will like it some will not, get over it.

Indeed, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but it seems to me people are more interested in criticizing a film than enjoying it. I'm sorry, but when did this happen? When did society stand up and go "Ya know what, I'm not gonna go to a movie to see what happens and kill two and a half hours that I would otherwise be bored to death during. I'm gonna go probe every last speck of the film until it's dead!"?
Probing into a movie is stupid in most cases. Oh sure, if it's based off a true story and you happen to know what happened and they changed something drastically, I don't mind disgust at that. But I mean for God's sake people, Transformers is fiction. Last time I checked, my car doesn't turn into a giant robot (and I happen to have the same model of car as Barricade (Saleen S281-Extreme Mustang)) nor does anyone else's. Sure, little tid bits like why no one notices a bunch of anthropomorphic automobiles in the Witwicky's yard is beyond me; or why entire cities being laid to waste goes unnoticed by the civilian populace. But hey, it's fiction, fake - a story.
Yeah, stuff from G1 has been changed. But quit whining about "Michael Bay slaughtered my childhood" or "Bay raped my youth". G1 was slaughtered the day Beast Wars started.
Now if you genuinely didn't like the movie, that's your decision. But I'm sick of these people who are like "It was good but it should have done this and this and replaced this with that and..." You're only ruining the film for yourself by questioning why Jazz was basically the black Transformer or crying over concept art. It's concept art, people! Concept art gives you a, key word here, concept of what the thing will look like, but ultimately the final product looks quite different.
Now again, if you disliked the film for reasons other than your own probing into matters, that's perfectly fine. And for those of you like me who love it, great. This topic is here for the one's who feel they have to be Ebert & Roper and end up ruining the film for themselves.

And since it seems that the general consensous on here is that its "really great", especially in the days imediatly after its release, the few negative opinions are looked at as being a freak occurance or the ramblings of "haters". Then again what do you expect would happen on a fan site when some people speak ill of said fans biggest event in recent years.

That's strange, because that's not happening here. Care to give examples, Creature?
Constructive criticism and voicing your opinion (complaining to make things better) has been around since the dawn of mankind.Indeed, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but it seems to me people are more interested in criticizing a film than enjoying it. I'm sorry, but when did this happen? When did society stand up and go "Ya know what, I'm not gonna go to a movie to see what happens and kill two and a half hours that I would otherwise be bored to death during.

It just doesn't.
Period.
