Jesus Christ, I am being hounded by people who attack me when I say I love Transformers 2 and almost all the action films that came out this year.
A friend of mine replied by stating:

I love serious movies, but I know genres are there for a reason. If you f**king want serious drama and great plot why the hell are in the theater seeing Transformers 2? An action Michael Bay flick based off a kid's series, like a serious critic would like that! I wanted pure entertainment and awesomeness, and I got it. It was a great movie for that.

But, movies that are overtly stupid with no entertainment that are taken seriously are another thing. Like Twilight or most of modern vampire movies and books.

I do full length analysis on film and want to be a director, and I love drama, and I want to do drama, but do you really have to pick apart action films for plots?

I mean, people kind of already got that earlier. Hello? Did all little mofo critics forget Watchmen? Sure it had tons of sex and violence, but that doesn't make it a horrible plot. A Clockwork Orange and Midnight Cowboy were both rated X. True, the sex served a purpose in there while it didn't in Watchmen, but you know...c'mon. There was symbolism everywhere and it was a great philosphical movie netheless.

I've been through the whole Watchmen and A Clockwork Orange thing a million times, but still. Some people just don't get it. Which leads me to my next point.

Stop bitching about movies not sticking to the book! If it's an adaptation, of course there's going to be differences. It's it different entirely, just think of the movie as a seperate story then, and judge the movie alone! C'mon I know you're smarter then this!
Watchmen didn't suck because they changed the ending! It was just different. You cannot expect the film maker to actually put everything that's in that epic comic into the movie that already over three hours long. Yes, they could've cut out the sex and put in the squid, but they also made the comic believable. Silk Spectre 1 in comic was looking like William Murderface and Ozymandias looked like Patrick Warburton.

Harry Potter didn't suck cause they left out Dumbledore's funeral and put in pyromaniac Helena Bonham Carter/ Bellatrix. And Twilight sucked because it would either way.
And sometimes the films just suck because they suck. Dragon Ball Evolution would've sucked if it was called Karate Kid Evolution or Martial Arts Evolution with retarded Dragon's Balls.

So lighten up film goers, I beg you. Or I won't make some great adaptations when I'm older that all of you would love to see done well.

Not everyone will have the same opinion as you do when it comes to films like Transformers. Specially those old peeps who grew up watching the anime back in the days.

I understand different opinions, and I try my best to respect them. However I grew up with the series, and it's why I love the new ones. I thank Michael Bay for changing Wheelie ('Wheelie's my name! Wanna play a game!?') and making it realistic. Yes, Soundwave was my favorite decepticon and I thought he was the coolest, but I understand why they had to change him.
I respect well done changes, and I bag on bad ones.
Just like I think Baroness should have her accent back in G.I. Joe.
