The robots were TOO alien, too 'messy', and you couldn't see what the fuck was happening when a pair of them were all a'tussle.<br /><br />WAY too much human shit, barely ANY robot to robot interaction. I especially mourned the lack of any good Decepticon inter-bitchery. I mean there was a WTF one off comment by Megs to Starscream, but . . . it was in Cybertronian.<br /><br />Yech.<br /><br />And the sequels looked like a whole bunch of way worse, so I avoided them. Sound decision, from everything I've heard, especially about 'Fallen'. Balls. Racist caricatures. Leg humping. <br /><br />*tsk*<br /><br />Word is the third one is a wee bit better script-wise (but JUST a WEE bit) and the 3D action was supposed to be fucking amazing.<br /><br />But I don't care.<br /><br />And now, of course, Bay--who had said even before 'Dark Side' was wrapped that he was all done with Transformers--seems to be in talks to continue the franchise.<br /><br />Ro-balls to that. >PHyla Tracy IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04316185162682308156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375691158383831389.post-72928749870129905492011-12-15T19:33:04.663-08:002011-12-15T19:33:04.663-08:00So...the Bay ones...your take?So...the Bay ones...your take?Diacanuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10546351653341768549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375691158383831389.post-25867517801867827932011-12-15T19:23:32.782-08:002011-12-15T19:23:32.782-08:00Iiiinnocent!
