I challenge you to name another movie about an alien robot come to save the world while disguised as a yellow Camaro. Isn't it just an intergalactic Herbie the Love Bug?
I don't ever recall Herbie transforming into a mouthy robot at 70mph to fight a giant robot tank... Transformers is a film that was never intended to enlighten or inspire social change. I think WAY too many critics are taking the film WAY too seriously. Review something for what it is, not what it isn't. You can't hold up an effects-heavy adaptation of a Saturday morning cartoon next to the works of Pekinpah, Truffaut, or even a mildly grounded drama and say, "You know, Transformers just doesn't have it." Get over yourselves. Quit being pretentious, let go and enjoy the ride. Transformers may be mediocre, but it's a hell of a lot of fun. "Deal with it."
I challenge you to write a review that doesn't make me vomit in my mouth a little from having to digest all the crap you just spouted onto the internet. It's a movie about robots that transform... and um... yeah. It's based off a comic book. What kind of Oscar worthy movie experience were you expecting? It's Transformers for god's sake. This reminds me of that incredibly retarded review of X-Men I read a while back that got a bad review because the reviewer simply thought, "Where's the science in it?" IT'S BASED ON A COMIC BOOK!!! I fear that the intelligence in this world amongst the human population is taking a very sharp decline.
I have to agree with any post that states this is fiction not reality stop trying to combine the two.
Personally I think if you never read the comic, read the book, watched the original, saw the cartoon, or have any clue of the subject matter; you should not be allowed to review any movies.
First of all do not write a review if you don't know what your talking about " Mr New York Post". Transformers is not a in your words " An Intergalactic Herbie" it is a classic cartoon turned into a amazing action film. I challenge YOU to name me a better cartoon turned movie sir.
I really love how critics nowadays bash movies for sake of being afraid of enjoying for what it really is, a science fiction fantasy movie. Just another guy hating on a movie because it isn't realistic

um.. dude. Herbie wasn't a yellow camaro from outer space. The New York Post needs to get someone who can write something intelligent.
