so you may have loved Transformers back in the day... but the new movies that are out now.... are for KIDS.... granted more along the 13-23 range... but still.
They did not decide to come back and remake Transformers to be for the adults that watched it as kids... they made it to be a modernized version for TODAY's Kids

Thanks for clearing that up
Your statement backs up my stance to a degree. But the reality is the movies are for adults that watched as kids and todays kids. Granted they rate it PG-13 but the studios marketing would have you believe otherwise. Look I'm
not even saying that there were parts from either movie that I didn't love!! The relationships built between Sam and Bumblebee and Sam and Optimus, for example. Those elements and the action sequences along with the SFX are/were amazing. But there are a lot of different directors that can pull that off. Michael Bay just always seems to want to add in these perverse side antics to get some additional comic relief which just isn't necessary, and I think he's shown the direction he will take this franchise, I will be pleasantly suprised if he cuts back on the antics but I wouldn't go to the theater expecting that. I'm not a complete hater of the movies yet but I'm definitely sour on Michael Bay. I'm just voicing an opinion here, if you don't agree that fine I don't expect that everyone would. When I took the kids to see it I didn't storm out of the theater or anything so don't get me wrong. In fact I own both TF movies on blu-ray, I watch them with the kids all the time, but after a few viewings there are parts where I just roll my eyes (especially during TF2). I don't have as many issues with TF1, I really enjoyed it and couldn't wait for the second. When TF2 hit theaters I was as excited as anyone, my impressions were that everything that they did well, blew away the best parts of TF1,
and everything that they did wrong drug it a notch below TF1 overall. But TF2 also comes off like they made a sequel because everyone wanted more of the crude humor, so they decided to take it to a whole other level. When in reality people wanted more of the character development and quality script writing. I think if you go to any movie review site you'll see that the consensus feels the same. All that being said however, I'll be at the midnight showing with the other geeks and fanboys when TF3 hits...
