I go back to starfish's point -- no reason we can't have action and depth together. Part of that comes from poor writing. And I'm not saying that they need to recycle material directly from G1 or comics, but new stories with traces of the old would be good to see. The characters in the Bay films are so shallow. First movie -Megatron is established, temporarily defeated. Next, TF2 -- The Fallen comes out of nowhere, no backstory, no buildup. DOTM -- again, no mention of the plot points with The Fallen, Megatron has no power, and Sentinel Prime goes berserk. All over the place - these should've been more cohesive & not thrown together at the last minute. ROTF and DOTM very rushed. ROTF suffered more from that. One of the worst continuities for a trilogy I've ever seen. When the reboot happens - i hope they don't throw $250 mill + into garbage, last minute, written on the spot scripts/screenplays as they have been. That's no way to make a movie. And as I've said for the umpteenth time, they need to wait at least 3 years between movies to give everyone involved a chance to breathe. They're lucky ILM offices didn't meltdown & workers didnt have heart attacks
You are totally right, we can have depth and action together, even though that appears to be an outlandish idea to a good number of the movie fans/detractors....."What? You don't just love what you're given????"
Just so that when the mass jumps in and types about how the Fallen does have a backstory because there were a handful of exposition seconds in ROTF about him, I understand what you're saying there. In the movieverse, he just pops in, and the first and third movies don't reference him in the slightest. I understand what you're saying, so don''t bang your head on things when people try to make it sound like you have little to no comprehension abilities. Certainly the DW Fallen can't count as backstory for ROTF Fallen, because that's G1 connected, and that's anathema of course.
