But as far as story and acting go, Dawn is vastly superior.
Well, I don't care, how about that.
I greatly enjoyed watching AOE today for the second time.
Probably will watch it a third time like I did DOTM.
Vastly superior (in your eyes by the way) doesn't mean everyone will enjoy that movie way more.
I like Transformers, I like robots with swords and shields. If I have to give grades, then intelligent apes get a 4, maybe 6 on the interest scale. And robots and demons get 10, aliens a 9.
So an ape movie can be a better quality piece of cinema, I'm still going to enjoy Transformers way more.

I'm kind of sick and tired about people screaming that PLOT needs to be super complex and filled with ethic dilemma's etc. And if you have robots or aliens battling each other in cool choreographed scenes that's all totally worth rubbish. Because the plot is thin as paper.
So, no one cares about the character design, or the animation?
I had a guy at the office saying Pacific Rim was a total waste of time and bandwith (the guy never pays for movies because it's not worth his money... don't get me started on that one).
However, some Godzilla movie from the early 2000's with dudes in costumes with cheesy special effects was WAY BETTER than Pacific Rim, because the plot was as thick as 4 stacked A4 papers.
Dafuq?
Not saying AOE is perfect, I still have a hard time accepting the whole flying molecules thing, I had that also with Iron Man 3. And also Steve Jobs's character change because the first funny guy was killed. Still thank the gods there waren't any toilet/sex jokes this time.
Still it was an awesome movie, I really started to hate humans first time I saw the Ratchet scene. Loved how Prime had to smack Grimlock's respect out of him. Hound was amazing.
It should make a lot of money, I want the two headed Shockwave thing as a voyager
