[QUOTE="satori01, post: 3631762, member: 7859"] Too much humans, too little of the Transformers. The thing that bugs me about Bay is he could make a great movie if he cared too, but just takes the easy way out. He always casts for beauty, not for talent, always has plot holes in his movies, and always has the shaky camera work, and a point in a movie where you have endured so many explosions, and chases, that you do not really care anymore. The aspect of Transformers I have always found fascinating is that you have two armed sides that have been battling each other for centuries, that have gone from large armed organized armies to a mere handfull of combatants on each side. The cartoon obviously had the luxury of more time to build up that antagonistic but intimate element of the relationship between Autobots & Decepticons. Bay did next to nothing on that front, which is a shame. Look at something like Kill Bill, and Tarantino made it a point to bring out that intimate aspect, that sense of one character truly knowing another, with brand new source material. Bay could have used the cartoons as a guide. The movie is called Transformers not Section 7 and the Sec Def. The camera work left me with a headache in the action sequences. I also had a headache from the Bourne Identity or Supremacy, the shaky camera work is a huge impediment to me, I can not follow the action, and have an adverse physical reaction. While not common I also know I am not the only one that the camera work has that effect on. [/QUOTE]
