Ok, I know i'm gonna be one unpopular sob for saying this on here but I want this movie to bomb! Screw Bay,Screw Murphy and Spielberg and Orci and Kurtzman and whoever else that was involved in bringing this frankenstein montrousity to life. I don't want to be seeing Bride of frankenstein or Son of frankenstein being released over the next few years. Bring out the torches now and lets burn this damn thing!
I honestly gave Bay the benifit of the doubt when he was first named as being the director of this movie. I knew he'd get the action scenes and explosions and all that stuff down with no problems. But I never thought him and the others would basically just crap all over everything else that made these characters so popular in the first place. If you want to update things then go for it. But just do it the right way by staying true to the source material and not by bastardizing it to the point of it almost being unrecognizable. There is a reason these characters have been around for 20 plus years now ya know? Apparently Bay and a lot of you other guys out there don't understand that. Why do you think this movie was even made in the first place? Why do you think it still retains G1 references and not based on the more recent lines like Armada or Energon? Why do you think there has been so much hate geared towards almost every leaked piece of info from this movie and almost every decision that Bay & company have made? If you can't understand any of that then you just don't get it just as Bay and his crew don't get it. You must be one of the knotheads that Bay has made this movie for then. Ewwww big splosions!!! Ewwww big robots!!!Me happy movie goer !!!! I'm sorry but eye candy does not a movie make. And to anyone thinking you'll be seeing Devastator or the Dinobots in any of the sequels...quit fooling yourself ok? Not gonna happen.
I'm sorry but everything that has been going on with this movie and the fans has just about completely ruined my love for the Transformers altogether. I've been a fan since the begining but I don't know if I can call myself that anymore. I'm ready to turn my back on the whole thing and not look back. Wanna see how big of a fan I was? Check out the link for my cel collection. Biggest in the states. No exagerations.

At least you can tell those images ARE transformers and not piles of scrap metal.
Do I want this movie to bomb? Yes I do. Do I think that it will? Unfortunately no. There are too many of you cgi,big explosion loving,no story needed, knothead kiddies out there. Personally I think it will make money but not as much as they want it to.
And if you want to reply to me and disagree with what I say thats cool. Just none of this "At least we're getting a transformers movie!" stuff ok? Back up your argument.
