I certainly didn't think that Megan Fox was Bad, by ANY stretch of the imagination. I thought she was great for the role she was cast. Maybe some more evidence of her mechanical genius would have been great. Maybe making her Blonde and naming her Carly would have helped. But I think he did what was asked of her just fine. Shia was AMAZING in his role. I'm beginning to REALLY like his acting, nuff said.
What everyone seems to forget is that this movie is called TRANSFORMERS, and it's supposed to be about ALIEN ROBOTS. I understand everything about digital effects being Time Consuming and costly and whatnot, but world doesn't know transformers because of the human characters. The Franchise at large doesn't continually re-invent Spike and Sparkplug. They focus on the Cultural Icons Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Starscream, Megatron, Soundwave, and the like. There was plenty of robot action, I guess, but the interaction and character development of the robots was SEVERELY lacking. All in all, Bay did a GREAT job with this movie, but I don't think he has enough respect for the truly Epic scale of the Transformers Lore. I want to see ARMIES of Cybertronians fighting an ages-long war on a death-strewn mechanical landscape. The Plot devices of the Glasses and even the Allspark were rendered completely Sterile in the end, because the Decepticons got to the Allspark first, and then Sam DESTROYED it! How are the Cybertronians going to get Energy? Why did Optimus get thoroughly BEATEN half to death by a newly thawed Megatron? Where was his Badass Gun? He's supposed to be a master marksman! No talk of the Matrix. Too much emphasis on Humor and the Human Element. Unceremoniously Killed Jazz. But the movie has done Phenomenally well in a big way. The Numbers show that they can really throw some serious money at this movie series. Bay wants to get bigger and badder. He's got a couple more movies left to really do the Transformers some big time justice on the Movie screen.
I have faith.
