it was meant to be chaotic to make the action more intense, because those robots wont drink a quiet cup of tea with eachother.
The details of the robots were stunning IMO especially in the fights with all their gadgets, but maybe you were watching the wrong movie if you havent seen any....
I agree. Great effects but I missed a good story or complex characters or something that made it special
but hey, what can you expect when the target audience has the range from 6 to 16.
Where did you saw that?
Spielberg is executive producer nothing more.

Anyway I'll watch the 2nd part but def. not going into the cinema for something like that.
I think the target audience is a bit more wide-ranging than that. It's meant to appeal to young men who might have liked the cartoon or played with the toys as children too.
I liked Transformers, but like you I hope the sequel is not going to rely on epic special effects which saved the first film.
Plot holes, lazy writing* and some empty characters blighted it (Uncle Bobby B not included). I mean, ok, it's a sci-fi film, so you're supposed to suspend disbelief and immerse yourself in that "world" for 2 hours or so, but once you've accepted the idea that these really nice looking robots exist a lot of the story and a lot of little details and parts are just nonsense, and if you ignore the effects there's no substance.
2 will have to be better than a simply "more of the same" sequel.
*REALLY lazy writing.
One of several obvious examples: "Let's get that cube to a populated area and then take it to the top of a tall building and hand it to someone in a helicopter!
What? The ones that can turn into planes and helicopters can fly!? And they might cause a little bit of trouble and possibly endanger a few people in that city? Oh, well, I can't be bothered to think of anything better. Execute plan dumbass-military!"
WTF is it with people wanting "Complex Characters"? I can't see how it would have helped the film any...
Ok, maybe the storyline could have been deeper, but it was good enough, and of equal quality to any of the storylines in the original cartoon. As someone who enjoyed the cartoon as a child, i loved the movie, i didn't see it until it came out on bluray but i really enjoyed it.
I'm undecided whether i'll go and watch the sequel at the cinema or not, i like sitting at home watching movies better tbh, much more of an immersion factor
This makes it more believable for me, it sounds EXACTLY like something the US Military would do
The Transformers were a total slight against God. In as much as God sent his only begotten son to die on the cross to redeem mankind and all we did to pay him back was make terrible ****ing cartoons, like the Transformers.
