Transformers 2

[Mercen-X]

I heard Jazz is coming back this next movie. I could be completely wrong but I thought I read that somewhere.

I really hope not. Nothing against Jazz, he was the damn coolest character in the whole freakin' movie, but character resurrection is a weak plot element. At least Megatron becomes a different character when he's brought back. If they brought back, Jazz, they'd have to change him too and what the hell would he be then?

The reason for my comment really should be obviously. Michael Bay makes bad films with subpar plots, terrible acting and even worse scripts. The cinematography, music, and even your precious explosions in the original Transformers movie all were bad and underwhelming.
Besides, Voltron was totally better than Transformers.

So, what kind of experience would have been whelming or so? And, yeah... Voltron... good concept but I'd kill anyone who shouted "Voltron Force" and tried to take themself seriously.

explosions and big robots fighting

Therein lies the problem though. I wanted big flashy robot battles and a brainless plot. Instead I got a bunch of boring humans running around taking up 2 hours of screen time for no other reason than to have some semblance of a plot and about 20 minutes of robot fights with shaky camera angles that made it difficult to tell what was going on. Seriously, if I can't even tell what part of the robot I'm seeing half the time then something's wrong.

Next time Michael Bay would do well to keep in mind that the main characters should be the Transformers, not the stupid sacks of flesh they protect.

Admittedly, they could have spent a lot less time showing us who Witwicky was and definitely didn't need too much exposure to the agency and that annoying guy who led it. I liked the soldier subplot though.
Anyway... Transformers battles are typically laser fights which wouldn't do for a live-action film. A semblance of plot is better than a brainless plot. Leave that to the cartoons.
