imo, the Transformers movies directed by Michael Bay are pretty good, or probably above average at least.

They are worse than the cartoons since the cartoons are actually focused on giant robots instead of people. Transformers prime was better than all the bay movies put together, and it was pretty human centric for a transformers show.

I have to agree, but I still like the movies ok. The humans do tend to be the worst part tho.

I'm pretty sure a better transformers movie could be made by the robot chickens, stop motion crew and some firecrackers.

I really liked the subplot involving Bumblebee getting recalled due to an ignition switch issue

The thing I liked best about the first movie was that the black robot was the first one to die, in good Hollywood tradition

i saw the first one when it came out, and it was cool.there were cool cgi robots fighting.guess its lucky i never watched the cartoons because a lot of people seem to have been emotionally scarred by Michael Bay's interpretation of a toy advert :(

We need bay to make robotech. How can he mess up plane/robots blowing up 100 aliens, every 15 mins. He can cut and paste the same action scene 40 times and no robotech fan would complain.

If he waits long enough he can use his accrued interest from his savings to bring his negative checking balance back into the black.

My incredible goodposting transcends time and space but still it cannot transform the xbone into a good console.

They're a modern reimagining of an 80's toy commercial. They're not as bad as sperglord a would have you believe, but they're just as crazy and unrealistic as the 80's cartoon but in a different direction.

The Transformers movies provide a great public service in baiting out the adults who have in depth opinions about which kids entertainment speaks to them the most.
