Why the New Transformers Movie Sucked
Ah, Transformers. It was a great cartoon of yore that conjures memories of waking up in the wee hours of the morning (still wearing footie pajamas, eyes still groggy and covered in grime) and excitedly running straight to the TV. Michael Bay, why did you have to ruin such a great memory by completely selling it out?

The first movie was acceptable – commendable, even. The movie sort of “brought to life” our favorite robotic heroes and allowed us to relive our childhood. It was filled with completely bad-ass action, paired with a storyline, that in contrast with the second movie, doesn’t seem like it was written by crack-addicts.
Now, I’m not saying that the first movie wasn’t backed by some sort of profit motive. It may be the way of the world and all, but I can’t help but fel angry about it. The first Transformers was still, however, somewhat more “original” and experimental in a way. I feel like they created the first movie because they loved the animated series, and also because they thought that some money could be made. Transformers 2 doesn’t seem to be supported by any sort of loving spirit at all; it is just, as I said before, a profit-whore. They simply made a sequel after they realized that they could earn tons more money, and that is why the new Transformers sucked… terribly. Thank you Michael Bay; you allowed me to relive my childhood and then trampled all over it. That’s my piece…
P.S. What was up with those two “black” robots? “Uh, we don’t do too much of that readin’ stuff.” WTF?
