Probably the most controversial film of the year is now out on DVD so what better time to bring back the hate and acceptance of this movie.

Now before you make the immature jokes that have been done to death like, "Michael Bay Sucks! Explosion! Explosion!" I'll stop you there. I want this thread to be for more of a mature and sophisticated outlook on this film. Like my opinion on it for example:

I enjoyed Transformers 2; however, this isn't saying much because I enjoy every movie I see. I don't think this film calls for bashes to Michael Bay about random explosions, confusing fight sequences, and an overgrown storyline, none of which I saw in this film. Maybe I'm not as slack-jawed, simple-minded as the rest of the 1.6 million Americans that saw this at midnight on June 19, 2009, but I didn't find the plot hard to follow at all and I hardly got lost in the giant robot fights. Did I agree with every directing action Michael Bay made? Not at all. Every instant of Robotic generals made me shake my head in shame and I think there were 5 too many spinning camera shots. I mean what was Bay thinking? "Hmm, this generic love scene is very clichque. Instead of going back and I dunno, rewriting it so it's more original I think I'll just have the camera spinning during it." All in all I think this movie didn't get it's fair shake. People jump at calling it random with the explosions and racist which just isn't fair. This movie isn't worth the $20 for the immediate release but wait a month and $13 is accurate. Hopefully for Transformers 3, Michael Bay can redeem himself and make a film that's all around accepted *cough add Unicron cough*.

Tranformers is okay for me.
Well since there's machines, cars, and military planes, there's got to be explosions.

My only complaint is the sexual content and where Sam's parents act like idiots.

If anyone else can direct Tranformers better, who would it be?

I enjoyed the film, and I am excited for the coming of Transformers 3, but I, like Adam, enjoy almost every movie I see. I would agree with popular decision about the over-usage of explosions. Some scenes were a bit confusing and I disliked the idea of reviving a dead character permanently. Also, I believe the main villian in the movie could have had a more clever name than "The Fallen." The movie was definately better than the prequal though.

now iknow most people on this forum are bay haters. but i 100% i liked the action storyline was easy to follow and i liked most of the additions too the autobots. but one thing i didnt like was the fact that optimus prime gets killed way too early in the series, then gets revived. and the fact that sam ends up blowing off the autobots till it's too late is predictable.
But other than that the movie was awesome sauce.
