Big explosions and robots may be what attract the general audience but Transformers has the potential to be so much more nowadays with all the material there is and all these movies seem to really care about is explosions and things that general public will be impressed with until they leave the theatre.
I don't "Dislike" MB at all? I just like a fool thought, that with one of the Greatest Directors of alltime (Spielberg as a mentor); he'd have put more 'EC' emotional content into this franchise. He claims much like the folk behind (XMEN/same writers) that they 'CARE ABOUT THE CHARACTERS/BOTS/FRANCHISE, well we see they don't otherwise we wouldn't have 'a revenge of the nerds-SAM in place of a wrench-weildling SPIKE'; or a goofylooking MUDFLAP instead of JEEP WRANGLER HOUND?
How complicated is that? Bay and Singer are so damn set on being 'different from the orginals' that they miss what was good and simple about them? Sam didn't have a mother, take her out? To Save On Costs: Have them in VECHICLE MODE MORE STUPID?
How many times did Spike talk to BBEE while riding inside him or Prime?
Bay was the one who decided Orginally on How the TF would 'look', this Facestyle, and the really expensive rendering of the constantly moving parts well....see? If the body 'has to move' don't make the Face so darn expensive, make it smooth/frankly it would look better?
Bay just isn't a creative director, which is why there is NO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT/NO REAL PLOT...and he relies on as Many of you have put it "crude humor/racial jokes/foul language". Oh how I wish Sam Raimi or Louis Lettier had done these films or consulted on them. Bay isn't bad, he just doesn't know how to pick good scripts? Some really really good Dir. can, and don't need any help from their Producers, well HE DOES LOL. And this time it was evident w/ having a toychest full of money at his disposal ....He wasted it in all the wrong places.
EXAMPLE James Cameron did it with TITANIC, years ago when it 1st came out everybody ran 2C it, loved it, great sp.Effects, great ship 2 look at, stupidass story; years later nobody cares or watches that film?
I Think TF is this generations special effects Titanic in a way, more so than the HULK, though thats' a much better film.
