Twenty-one years ago I saw the animated Transformers: The Movie in the theatre. When Optimus Prime died, no one was sitting near enough to me to see me crying. I was 16 years old.

Tonight, the live action Transformers movie made me cry again.

I was so excited when I first learned about the movie, and that Steven Spielberg was attached to it...  but whoever this "Michael Bay" jackass is, he needs to learn a lot from Spielberg before I will EVER go see a movie with his name on it again.

I have never been so disappointed by such a piece of shit movie in my entire life. Midway through the movie was when I realized I was trying to hold back tears again, because I couldn't believe just how bad it was, and how much I hated it. And it wasn't because of the robots, either. I could accept them (although the cutesy little gadget Decepticon infiltration three-year-old-on-a-sugar-rush Toddlercon made me want to punch things). Is it too much to ask that a movie has a coherent storyline, plot points that make sense, and characters that are properly introduced to the audience and developed so that we care about them?

Maybe the sequel will be better. I don't know how it can be worse.
