Everyone seems to like this incarnation of the Transformers, but the characters are all completely wrong. Optimus was doing comedy in the first one, Bumblebee was serious and intelligent...that just isn't right! And I really don't like the look of the bots, I understand they can't be as simple as the classic cartoons but do they really need to be so organic?
I literally fell asleep after about an hour of the first movie.
While I get what you're saying, and that was my initial gripe when I saw it, I think that the end result was a better translation for the big screen. Come on, lets face it, the original characters would look down right goofy in their actual form! Bumble bee with his two horns and humanoid face? Imagine that for a second. Worse still, imagine Megatron with his school girl hair cut and scowl as translated directly from the cartoon. The special effects and hydraulics and cool mechanics was a big part of the appeal of the movie and I for one, wouldn't have it any other way.
Oh, and Megan Fox has got some fineeeeeeee boooty. That's the second reason for the film's success, btw.
Yeah, Megan Fox almost kept me awake, but was countered by Shyla Boeuf!
I already conceded that they couldn't run with the original look precisely, but in my opinion they just went a bit too far overboard with the "organicness". Regardless of that, there is no excuse for Optimus seemingly being foolish, almost a comedic character and Bumblebee being super-intelligent. Why go so far away from the original Transformers storyline/character traits?
While I agree Shyla's a bit of a w a n k er (mostly cos he got to work with such fine booooooooty), he did give the film some well timed comic relief (you can shoot me now).
The original storyline would involve thin plots to steal precious Energon cubes...hardly inspiring stuff for a movie! But yes, I agree they could have followed the character traits a bit more.
What I want to know is, when are the Dinobots going to make an appearance?!
If the Dinobots appear, Grimlock will be the Cybertron equivalent of Stephen F-ing Hawking!
Incidentally, just in case I'm the only one who loves IMDB and the trivia section, Optimus Prime's the only original voiceover from the cartoon...and that actor does the voice for Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh too
Peter Cullen did the voice for Optimus & Ironhide in the OG cartoon
