O.k. I know a lot of people are excited about the Transformers movie. I myself was happy that the studio decided to make a live action film about one of my favorite childhood cartoons. I was especially happy they put tons of money into the film and hired George Lucas ILM (Industrial Lights & Magic) company for the special effects. With all that said, let me jump into the problems.
1st problem- Humans!!! This movie had way too many scenes where humans were the main characters & not the Transformers. The movie is called Transformers. I hoped that when humans were on the screen they were either running for their life (Godzilla) or being murdered by giant robots (War Of The Worlds). This was not the case at all. Not only did the humans play the most important role in this movie since a human saves the day but they had humans on screen with lines that were pointless.
2nd- Too much comedy!!! I heard more people laughing than clapping during this film. Every 15 min theres a comedy scene. Why??? I saw the animated movie in the theater & that movie had a much more serious tone then this movie. This movie was filled with dumb humor that took up scenes where there could have been transformers fighting instead. Anthony anderson being the funny computer hacker adding humor to an interrogation scene. Shia Labeouf's parents adding humor throughout the movie, even during the ending credits. John tutoro being the comical special agent with a wife beater on with a dumbass symbol for laughs....They even added comedy to bumblebee as soon as he steps into the movie. he decides to play Love songs according to what on Shia Leboufs mind while around Megan Fox. A little girl asking a giant robot if its the tooth fairy??? Give me a break.
3rd- (Spoiler Alert) The only black Autobot dies! Jazz gets ripped in half by megatron. WTF, 1st horror movies, now we cant even live as robots?
4th- Robotic Gremlin. There was a little Decepticon running around on screen making sounds & cursing. This was the robotic version of Stripe from the Gremlins movies. This robot was sneaking around a military airport in plain site, hiding behind walking people. This character was the jar jar binks/ewoks (Starwars annoying characters) of the movie.
5th- Why switch the names of the robots? Why is Devastator a tank? just name it something else. Fans of the original series dont understand why they changed the names.
6th- Why is it that these advanced alien robots with superior firepower cant seem to kill 5 soldiers out in the open on a city street? When the movie started, 1 decepticon destroys a whole military base but when the end of the movie comes, they lose all accuracy with bullets. They cant lock on & kill Tyrese & the other worthless soldiers.
7th- There's giant robots running around & there is panic in the streets. All the Autobots are standing around the main characters house & not 1 neighbor or anyone else see this! not too mention the fact that one of them falls & shakes the ground but nobody comes outside to see whats going on? I know its pg 13 movie but why put dumb scenes in the movie? this movie is for kids & adults but only if the adults dont pay attention to anything except the special effects.
If you never saw the original movie then this is a family fun movie. The special effects are great, its cool that they kept the transformation sounds from the cartoon & the original voice actor for Optimus Prime. This movie doesnt have many robot vs robot fight scenes. There's 1 short fight with Bumblebee (yellow camaro) & Baracade (police car) that is interrupted by a human struggling with a robotic gremlin. This took away from seeing the whole fight. It has another short fight with Optimus & some decepticon. That was cool because Optimus pulled no punches and killed his enemy. Then theres the last battle with all the Transformers except Baracade (M.I.A) & jazz who gets killed too quickly.
