It seems theres a LOT of nitpicking going on even among people who liked the movie. It amazes me of how much of a free pass people gave this despite countless problems, when so many other films can get raked over the coals over every last detail.

heres a copy/paste of what i wrote on the Movie Blog…
I just came back from Transformers and I dont know what I can recommend to change it, because it was a colossal piece of shit from start to finish. About 90% filler whether humans or transformers (mostly humans) were on screen, every gag save a black guy falling through a glass window were awful, and the action scenes were merely clumps of metal crashing into each other obscured by debris and explosions. Why does Michael Bay have to make everyone look like an oiled up wrestler? I’m generally not a fan of Bay’s work, but this was below even his normal standards and he had so much more to work with than normal. The transformations were uninteresting looking, the character designs really dont look very good on screen, there is some great technical work to make them look like they are actually there, however it was completely boring to actually watch them fight. And not to mention a cast of plastic and/or bland people.

So if there was a single answer, maybe it is Michael Bay. If he is directing the sequel, I will not see it.

And for the record, Frenzy wasnt that bad. As much as the other robots are so much bigger and destructive, only the scenes with Frenzy carried any sense of actual threat.

Not sure what you mean exactly… I thought his involvement was the best part of the movie and wish there was more. Of course, with him as producer it’s hard to know exactly what he added to the movie, but there are definitely a handful of Spielberg-esque moments.

I don’t know how I missed this the first time, but I love how you manage to absolve Steven Spielberg from his involvement.

Totally with you, loved the comedy but I have to say I was a bit disappointed by the robot action, especially in the opening scenes. It was so spastic you couldn’t quite tell what the hell was going on and though it got better later in the movie, I think they relied on this trick a little too much.

How did you like the immense amount of pop-culture references? My favourite was the 40-year old virgin reference. So clever and spot on!

I did like this movie to an extent, but there was just so much bullshit in there that it ultimately dragged the movie down to a level around 2/4 for me as well.

Maybe next time we can get more Megatron vs. Prime and less un-named skorpion robot action vs. ridiculous soldiers.
