You know I find it so funny that fans complain about Shia and Michael Bay. I'm a huge Transformers fan, I own the G1 series on DVD, I read the comic books(multiple ones), I play the games(which are canon), a watch whatever Transformer related comes out. I probably know as much about Transformers as JediXman does about Star Wars, and yet, I seem to be the only one not b!tch!ng about Bay's movies. Was there a lot of depth, not really, not in the second and third. Did the movie have other flaws, certainly. But just like the Avengers, take the movie for what it was, a popcorn action flick, and it was a fun one at that. At the very least you have to like the first one, it was awesome. The second was lacking, but the fights were still cool. And the third was an improvement over the second. They also got most of the characters right(like their personalities), not all, but a lot. The fights scenes were very cool to watch, very well done. And yes, I'm going to say it, Shia Lebeouf was perfectly fine in it, I thought he had some funny parts. Now, would the Avengers have been as good as it is now, probably not. Because Whedon is pretty good at displaying a characters motives, personality, and other social and emotional cues in a short amount of time(look at how much depth he put into Firefly, when it got canceled way too early), but the fights scenes would still have been fun.
