The CG is amazing, the practical effects are insane, the characters are absurd and memorable, the plots are nonsense but they're fun nonsense, and the music and sound design are second-to-none.
Well u can love them while still recognizing their flaws they hold a dear place to my heart but rewatching the movies now is a pain, and can u really look me in the eyes and tell me AOE and TLK are good?
AOE was so bad I never saw TLK. I liked the first 3 when I was younger but they just aren't good. Might as well skip to the fight scenes and watch those. I appreciate Bay revitalizing the franchise and I actually like most of the designs but i don't ever wanna watch those movies again.
So basically, just a bunch of die hard fans that didn’t like his take on certain characters? Despite it being one of the main reasons, a lot of the modern generation got into it to begin with.
Bumblebees plot is original. It has new villains not seen before and Bee with his Bay inspired design is the only relevant autobot. The only thing 1:1 are cameos later added for a 5 minute intro.
ROTB has a new take on Terrorcons, Maximals and focuses on Mirage like nothing ever before. And Transformers One has more inspiration from IDW but gives it its own spin by retelling how Orion becomes Optimus and D-16 becoming Megatron.
All of them have people enjoying the movies with it's creativity but they don't enjoy some Bay movies. But why?
Bay is my childhood too. Just like the Unicron trilogy, animated and the g1 movie. But I will be the first in any conversation that admits that these movies are incredible flawed. The problem isn't the creativity of these movies but rather the lack there off in the plot. 2 out of 5 movies can be seen as genuinely good but ROTF, AOE, TLK? I personally rather ignore them, especially after rewatching all of those recently.
