Response to RussellCooz

I understand your point. I too am in my mid 30s and loved transformers as a child. The cartoon, the toys and yes wished for a live action film. But I must say, I was utterly disappointed by this boring excuse for a transformers movie. I literally fell asleep during an action sequence, it bored me that much and I don't even fall asleep at classical concerts.

The fact that this garbage was the highest grossing movie this year depresses the heck out of me and makes me worry even more about the sad state of humanity and our future.
