Much of the time it's because it makes them feel like they're 'better' than all the people whom do. The movies are great fun, exactly what I would expect from a movie based on TOYS FROM THE 80's
**imagine a kid playing with the toys**
"vroom, i'm going to blow up the earth!"
"vroom vroom, not if i can stop it!"
**crashes them together, and imagines in his mind an epic battle with explosions gallore**
crash, boom, purdy explosions.
That is what micheal bay captures with the transformers movies, and I, like the many whom pay to see the movies, LOVE IT.
But yeah, kids here often have serious case of being snooty bitches.
