There was a compition to write a line in the first transformer movie. The winers line was "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings." if you go back and watch TF1 and find the time when it was used. Then continue watching the movie and consider if there was any other places such a line might have been used for more impact or dramatic effect. One that made you feel that Freedom is something worth fighting for. The problem the of this style of movie creation is that they separate action from story rather than using action to enhance story, they often use story just to create set pieces for action.

I look at MB as the 4 gating movie maker he has one trick and has not expanded beyond it. He fails to create anything with any substance in defiance of his subject matter. The TF did have the potential to be a movie with meaning and a moral it was an 80s cartoon they all had this build into them alongside buy our toys. However did anyone take anything away from the TF movies that felt meaningful at all other than damn CGI can do amazing things for hot girls. Sometimes I really wonder if movie makers make a movie then re script it just to see how bad they can make a movie and still turn a profit on it.

Best analogy ever.

I was never huge on these movies, just not for me I guess. Which is kinda weird, since if there is one thing that I love, it's huge ass robots fighting each other. I'm sure I'll still end up seeing the new one though, hopefully I enjoy it more than the others
