I enjoyed AOE.
I don't get it, some people claims they don't watch and boycott the Bay Transformers but they write essay about how sucks the movie was. How you know the movie sucks if you doesn't watched it in the first place?

Before I start, let me first apologize for the following rant. I just need to get it out of my system.
------------------------------ start rant ------------------------------------
Hmm, I'm not sure if you're talking about me, but I did watch TF2, hated it and I only watched TF3 because it was free. I will never pay for another Bayformers ever again until he changes or they change him.
And let's be honest here, from TF2, TF3, the majority of other people's comments here, the comments over the internet, the fact that the writer of this movie actually said, "logic isn't the be all and end all", the fact that Michael Bay openly mocks his critics regularly and boasts about his box office and laughing all the way to the bank ... We all know it's going to continue to be more of the same.
Screw the story. Screw the characters. Screw the script, which consists of a limited vocab of "run run run" "oh no no no". I want even more big bad explosions, even more juvenile jokes (and it's becoming increasingly tasteless with the latest statutory rape joke), more product placement advertising, hot stereotypical babe showing her ass and boobs and bending over, the two leads in sunset, the american flag in the wind, 1 dimensional characters galore, no logic at all, things happening for the sake of setting up action CGI set pieces thet they want to show, then more mind numbing bang bang boom till the end.
Basically he looked at all the criticisms of why his movie sucked and decided to shit on it by putting more of the same shit that everyone was complaining about then telling the world, "Hey, screw you. You don't know what you want. Let me give you this extra serving of shit to prove my point. See? I'm still laughing all the way to the bank."
And now he found a new way to make even more money. Stick an useless chinese actress in it, film it in china, then stick a "filmed in china" sticker on it and automatically, boom. Extra 150 million (equalling america, mind you) in your box office and counting.
He is every capitalist/investor's dream come true. A golden example of how broken this world is that the rich elite rule the world by using a combination of capitalism and the media to dumb down the masses. And we lap it all up gladly.
And oh yeah, remember to watch it in IMAX 3D. Why? Because it's just better that way.

I loved the first Transformers. It was poor in terms of story and characterization, but still passable and forgivable for what was still an entertaining pop corn flick and the chance to see the transformers in live action. Unfortunately, each movie just got progressively worse. And now, I hear even Optimus isn't spared. "I will kill you".
