Haven't seen the second one. The first one luckily had enough focus on the Transformers and Lebeouff (don't know how to spell that either). Shia was fine, the Transformers were good, and Fox wasn't a big problem. I still wish she wasn't in the movies though so people would stop talking about her when they talk about Transformers movies.
Perhaps, you know, just maybe, people like looking at human characters. It gives the audience someone to connect with.
I haven't laughed this hard at the escapist since the last time I was drunk and remembered how computers worked (a deadly combo btw).Puddel said:
Mind you it is 5:30 AM local, maybe thats why.
I saw a few things in it. It gave Megan Fox a chance to show off her lovely attributes and scream "SAM", it gave LeBouef an equal chance to look nerdy > heroic > shouty, it gave GM wicked product placement, which failed terribly (I'm too lazy to look for a link to General Motor's respective Chapter 11), and it had some kickass action.
When it really boils down to it, its for reason four that most folks went. The time when technology could finally catch up to our imaginations, and it really did. Bone crushing action ... Prime getting to ***** slap Megatron around with it being cartoons. Coming from a somewhat computer graphics related background I was blown away at the seamlessness (don't care if its a word) of certain sections, specifically the one where Prime is on the highway and the minesweeper is behind him and he transforms ... seamless. The story was lacking of course, but you can't expect much from that. I've had to verbally, mentally and in one case physically (they were so drunk they became violent) give stern talking to's about movies. I heard folks complain that Freddy Vs Jason had a bad story too. But thats about as reasonable a request as wanting a dynamic plot and fantastic CG in a porn, you don't watch it for either of those reasons, purely entertainment.
So to answer your question, no I don't think Transformers was all about the little dude or the sexy boob lady.
Well, since Lebouf and boob lady had more than a marginal role, I have to say YES. Transformers is supposed to have robots as the main characters, with a couple of irrelevant, token humans. Those movies are about humans, and how they deal with robots, when it should be the other way around.
That in itself doesn't make them bad movies (although they are.) But it makes them bad transformer movies.
