I was expecting a better film and it could easily have been made better. If you are willing to stand back an accept sub standard films without question more fool you...

No doubt it could have been better ive already said that but given it was an action film i didn't expect any better in the first place.

Sub standard by your own standards mate. Me and the 5 lads I went to see it with ages ranging from 23 to 29 all enjoyed the movie and said it was one of the best we have seen for a long while.

I think the fools are the people watching something that was never going to be amazing in their eyes, they were always going to try and make it as easy as possible for people that had no knowledge of Transformers to sit down and watch it.

A sub standard movie for me would be Evan almighty, will I watch it? No.
A sub standard movie for me would be another Hannibal, will I watch it? No.
A sub standard movie for me would be Miami Vice, Will I watch it? No.
A sub standard movie for me would be Matrix 2 & 3, will I watch them? No.

I think that covers it for me, I do not watch sub standard movies I watch movies I think I will be interested in, this generally leads to me being happy with what I have watched.

Well I have no doubt that will be the case in any future movies, they just had to do the ground work in this one.

I'd just like them to remake the original cartoon series using this current level of CGI (no changing the story line or any of the characters transforming states, i.e. megatron is a fucking gun).

That WAS a bit of a downer for me, would have preferred a few more appearances.

However it's left very open ended and I expect the next movie will involve Cybertron and Starscream taking over the Deceptacon leadership (Like he did last time) and then will more than likely end up being annhiliated by Megatron (again). :p

However I loved the movie, if people want to call it poor then so be it, for I thought it was pretty fucking awesome!

I had no expectations for the film as Transformers was never something I really got into when I was a child. I found the film entertaining as I did with Evan Almighty, Miami Vice, Matrix 2&3.

I still think it could have been a lot better, whereas Evan Almighty was never going to amount to a great deal.

It all boils down to opinion so neither one can "win" this arument...

I thought Miami Vice was a good film, I was led on to believe it was a pile of shit so I thoroughly avoided it. Then friend gave it to me for my birthday and in a moment of weakness (i.e. avoiding revising) I watched it and was thoroughly impressed.

I agree that the Transformers movie could've been better, and I agree that the Transformers should've gotten faaar more screen time. But I found bits of it funny, bits of it sad and bits of it corny. And tbfh, I love corny, such as Frankies attempts to get the chick, or the speech by Optimus Prime at the end.

I wasnt expecting it to rival Schindlers List or any other movie classics, but I enjoyed it which is what counts at the end of the day.

And I wouldn't say no to a sequal.

I too was told to avoid Miami Vice because it was thoroughly shit.

But I gave in and watched it.

I soon realised that I should have avoided it, because it was thoroughly shit. :(

i.e. megatron is a fucking gun).

If you check the trivia in IMDB it gives a couple of good reasons why megatron couldn't transform into his gun alternate mode. For the toy market side of things some states in America have made it illegal to make toy guns and this would have caused problems. Also it was just impractical have the big bad guy turning into a huge pistol and having someone else shoot him. I thing Megatrons transformation was the best in the film, megatron jumps up, clink, clank, clonk, woosh and off he goes. Clearly the decepticons know more about style than the autobots.

On a side note I remember from my childhood getting one transformers comic (we were poor and comics were expensive) and it was a story about starscream who had gone mad and was falling apart like some kind of zombie transformer, but he was really powerful for some reason and both the autobots and the decepticons were trying to stop him. Does anybody know what this storyline was all about and how it ended.

Also miami vice was tripe.
