It's Transformers. People expected it to be good?
Well, the people who liked Transformers did, of course. Those that never liked it to begin with would never think the films were good, even if they were masterpieces to the general public.

Well, no one watches these movies for the plot anyway.
Then what DO they watch it for? Do they get paid to see it?
explosions I guess.
If they want to see explosions, they should do it the old fashioned way, i.e., stealing a Russian nuclear warhead and detonating it somewhere off the coast of California. It's more fun and it ensures your childhood memories won't be ruined. :D
Come on, people, where's your sense of fun?! If we hurry we can meet up at the Canadian border and find the location of that warhead!

But seriously, I'm going to love the Editing Room's take on this crappy sequel to a crappy movie.

The script sucked before sucking even knew it sucked.

I hated the Transformers movie for 1 reason:
I was there to see giant robots beat the living shit out of each other and blow shit up.

And I waited, enduring the summer movie bullshit that Bay + co spewed out, forgiving all the idiot moves-robots you couldn't tell apart, human 'relationships' being emphasized, Tuturro's usually good acting skills being turned to evil, Optimus Prime saying 'My bad.' All of that shit.

For a gleaming moment, when Bonecrusher and Optimus meet on the freeway, I thought; YES, YES JUST LIKE THIS YOU WHORE, YOU KNOW HOW I LIKE IT.

And then, when the 45 minute violence gang-bang was supposed to happen, I instead got bukkake: messy, unorganized, and full of moments where I was asking; what in the fuck is going on here?

It sucked balls, and unless the second movie has a fight scene director worth the spit in my hand, so will TF2.

I'd already assumed that this film would suck in general.

But who doesn't want to see a giant robot boxing match?

Orci and Kurtzman haven't been behind a legitimately well-written movie yet (Zorro 2 kinda/sorta comes close,) so the fact that they're all-but saying "sorry" for THIS one is actually a little frightening...

The last film has probably the worst story, script, dialogue and execution-of-concept of any genre film of the last decade or more. Even with among all the OTHER stuff that doesn't work - Michael Bay's dogshit concept of action-direction, uniformly awful acting, horribly-designed robots, useless and extraneous human characters (what is the point of the army guys and the hackers again?) and so on... the script towers above all. It's an almost-entirely worthless film... the "masculine" equivalent to Twilight.

People watch Transformers for one reason, the same reason we watched it as kids.

GIANT FUCKING ROBOTS.

Okay here is how you do a Transformer movie, you have ONE token human, he is there to be the team pet and then the robots beat on each other over a MacGuffin.

At some point robots combine and it will be awesome and *SPOILER* In the end the good guys win and Megatron swears vengence against Optimus Prime AGAIN and if were lucky Unicron can show up. but better save that for a third movie.
Nah Unicron will either be a massive unicycle or a giant cloud of nanobots.

Hell I'm not even a big transformers fan but even I get the point of it. GIANT ROBOTS. not Shia LeBoeuf trying to get some.
Damn right. But if they just give me HotRod as Rodimus Prime, I'll forgive them for EVERYTHING.

First, they had just two weeks to hammer out a 20 page outline that would serve as the pre-production guide, and then after the strike had finished, they had only three months to get the script finished.

It shouldn't take two people working full-time anywhere near three months to finish a script for an action movie. Look at The Wire for example: the second season began airing nine months after the end of the first. Twelve hour-long episodes of almost constant talking written by one person, which then need to filmed and edited. All done in the space of nine months. The Transformers script will probably be half the length of one episode of The Wire and there were two people working on it.

And a fortnight to do a twenty page plot outline? Again, I would imagine this is a typical time frame.
You don't really start writing a script for a series if you have no clue where it's going, the writer probably had a good idea of what to put down for the first and second season before it ended, maybe before it began.

He would have had longer than nine months, and if he did just have that, it would have been more likely he had the idea in his/her head rather than pulling ideas out of his/her arse.

Plus maybe they really want this to be good, or maybe they are bad writers, or have a severe case of writers block, but either way this is going to be a feature film. I banged out a feature film script in two weeks but no way in hell I consider that to be screen worthy.

If you're given two weeks for a pre production outline and three months to do a film script people want to see in the cinemas, on the side of other projects, also factoring in redrafts it's going to be tough.

Also a fortnight would probably be typical, maybe a month, but again it wasn't the only thing they were doing. The first draft most certainly won't be the last.

EDIT: Either way, the Writer's Guild sure as hell wasn't striking during the first movie, so I have no hope for this one.

Honestly, if it's a script from this franchaise, it will almost definetly fail, the first one just scraped by, and in my experience, sequels are never better than the first, no matter how good(or in this case, bad).

I'm a movie critic by nature so I make it a point to find one good and one bad thing about every movie I go and see. Transformers wasn't great but it doesn't deserve this much hate. I could list a dozen movies that sucked worse then this that were released in this last year. If you're going to hate on a movie, hate on one that really, truly deserves it.
Yes i agree that there are worse movies, one movie in question would be Crank.
