What would you have rather seen?

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2007)

I have read countless reviews on the Transformers movie and I have to say some of them are outright ridiculous. What did most of you expect when you went into the movie theater? Did you think you were going to see a movie with a phenomenal storyline? Well it's a Michael Bay movie so you know that is off the menu right off the bat. Did you think you were going to see the most stellar acting to date? Once again: it's a Michael Bay movie. However, because it did not have either of the two above mentioned aspects does not make this a horrible movie as many have gone on the record saying. The special effects were more than satisfying and the fight scenes were some of the best eye candy ever to be placed into a movie.
I am sure I will receive umpteen messages about how I am off base with my opinion but Michael Bay delivered exactly what we should have expected and yet people still find it necessary to think this was an atrocious movie. Tell me what exactly happened in the movie that made it terrible? Did anything occur that would be out of the ordinary for a blockbuster summer movie? Transformers delivered in the one area it needed to: It brought the robots to life in front of our eyes and that may have been the sole purpose of the movie. If you didn't like it that's really too bad for you. So here is an idea for everyone who absolutely hated the movie. The next time there is a summer blockbuster throw out all expectations. To expect will only leave you disappointed. Instead going into the movie and just take it for what it's worth. This movie was not meant to wow us with amazing acting or a storyline for the ages. Instead it was a special effects monster and that is exactly how it should be judged. If you did not like the way the robots looked, moved, or fought then I have to say there truly is no pleasing a fan with that though process. In the end the idea of the Transformers is what put your butt in the theater yet so many of you decided to complain about a movie that will happen once in a lifetime. By the way, I will watch part 2.
