The fight screen between Prime & Megatron is hugely disappointing. Michael Bay should've put more effort in it.

Heck In fact, most of the robot fight scenes in the movie are just plain bad. Why are the cameras zooming in on their chest/legs/back while they are fighting? It's like watching the fight from "mouse point-of-view", which makes the whole thing erratic and confusing.

I can't even see the punches and kicks properly.

That's what bothers me about Transformers, the cameras do not position themselves from robot point-of-view. The only time when I see them from head to toe was when they're falling off the highway, sewer...aka not fighting.

Do you see that when Neo fights Agent Smith (just to quote an example) or other kungfu scenes between humans? NO, we see them fight in an overall view, choreographed beautifully. Not some stupid closeup on the chest and legs where the fists are not punching on.

This movie is about the robots, so the fighting scenes between them should be clearly shown (and nicely choreographed). Clearly, the director is lacking the ability to consider all this when he shot the movie.

Oh, on a side note, why are they shooting each other at point blank range? Shouldn't they be hiding behind buildings (while shooting at each other) or flanking? We see all that in the cartoon version though...

Sigh, I guess that's wat you get for a movie with a budget of only US$150 mil (very low for blockbuster action movie).

My complaints are directed to the fight scenes only, the rest of it is still acceptable to me.
