Transformers is a true masterpiece in every sense of the word. The movie is a treat to true hard-core Transformers fans. It takes the old and makes it new and it really adds black characters. The best part of the movie was the fact that Optimus Prime was in it. Optimus is not a word, according to the auto spell checker on this forum. But Fun is a word; a word I'd use to describe this great movie. So if you're a true "hard core" fan of the Transformers the way it was meant to be, please enjoy the best movie ever made.

I liked it. Sure, a lot of the plot elements and character archetypes were cliche, and there were a lot of stupid, childish jokes, but it was entertaining, and nice to see the Transformers on the big screen again, despite the changes from the source material (but that's to be expected in a movie adaptation - just so long as it doesn't make it unrecognizable).

I really wanted to punch that kid during the entire first half of the movie though. And it really could have used a lot more screentime for the Decepticons - especially Starscream. I can never get enough Starscream. Hell, I didn't even see him die - but the camera was moving around so fast sometimes maybe I missed it. (The fast moving camera seems to be the biggest trend in Hollywood right now. This movie had it, 28 Weeks Later, Batman Begins....At least Batman was an almost perfect movie).

Edit: Am I going to have to hear a soundbyte of "Baloney" whenever I open a thread that MowtenDoo has posted in? I'm hoping he's a joke by Murdar.

I am a hardcore Transformers fan and I hated it so much. Let me count the ways.

The Autobots are morons, right after the whole "let's stay in alt mode so no one suspects we're giant robots" speech, what do they do? Wander around on the kid's lawn like they're fucking retards.

So, they found Megatron frozen in ice in the 30's and somehow managed to transport him all the way to America without him thawing? Also, Megatron's guidance system is in his finger?

Mass-shifting was abandoned for the movie because it's unrealistic, but it's fine that the Allspark cube can go from the size of a house to the size of your head, sure. Also, the Allspark is not a cube and it does not create transformers. Also also, the Allspark creates transformers from whatever machinary it touches...but everyone is a Decepticon? Why do the Autobots want it then? Also also also, I sure feel like playing some Xbox while chugging some Mountain Dew! Maybe after that, I'll go for a drive in my GMC truck!

Megatron and Starscream are the only Deceps that get the slightest bit of background. I'm particularly pissed that Bonecrusher got huge hype from his fight with Prime on the freeway in the commercials, then dies like a bitch about five seconds after being introduced.

Brawl/Devastator: Would it really have been that hard to change one subtitle to have the correct name?

The battles go so fast and the robots have so much shit hanging off them and in some cases such similar colors that once they clash, you lose all sense of what the hell's happening.

I hate Spike Witwicky. I hate Shia LeBeouf.

Prime never shuts the fuck up, he's always giving some damn speech about freedom and tacos or whatever.

The Autobots are completely forgetable and you don't care about them at all.

Bumblebee "pissing" oil on the Sector 7 guy is retarded.

Actually, the whole Sector 7 plot is retarded.

The hacker sub-plot is pointless. Oh no, you figured out that all that weird static is the Decepticons! Have a cookie.

Blackout flies from Iraq to America in oh, five minutes.

Scorponok serves pretty much no purpose in the story.

The Autobots are pervs and all stand around watching as Spike does his girlfriend on the hood of his sentient car, while Prime is spouting endless bullshit as usual.

Bernie Mac. No need for that.

I friggin' hate Megatron's alt mode. I don't care if he's not a gun, but why does he have to be a flying pile of scrap metal?

I'm sure there's more, but that's what I got so far.

I never saw the cartoons except for the first couple of episodes on Youtube, so I can't really be considered a fan. However, I am aware that from the start they made the mistake of this movie being about HUMANS (unlikable ones at that) with a few robots thrown in.

Also, the product placement was ridiculous.

I thought transformers was okay. It was a mindless action drama which is what bay is known for. I'm just glad he didn't f*ck up soundwave.

And your all wrong best bay-like film is the following:

You forgot the masturbation joke which is the defining moment of the movie.
