>>6781231>>6781241We're on the same note here, actually. For all its dumb Michael Bay moments and Hollywod clichés, the original 2007 movie is still great at simply being a nice inoffensive summer blockbuster for kids that doesn't try to reach for more than what it actually is. RotF was a catastrophic mess in comparison and, whereas DotM at least tried to go in the right direction and probably holds up as the only passable sequel, AoE and TLK are just the absolute bottom of the barrel as far as modern cinema goes.
>>6781252>Nothing in RotF matters enough to cause continuity issues, so those two actually work pretty well togetherPretty much this, I honestly don't think Transformers would get too much of a rep for being the second death of cinema after the original Star Wars if the entire series was only those two films alone. If something, they could be remembered for their technical features when giant fighting robots in live-action were still a novelty.
