    It's still done by Peter Cullen who's done all the voices of Optimus Prime since ever. There's absolutely no change.

    2. the acting is kinda horible.
    The acting in Uwe Boll films is horrible. The acting of a film like Transformers is at best disagreeable. You can't run around saying that people like Jon Voight, Patrick Dempsey, John Turturro, Kevin Dunn, John Malkovich etc can't act. Even actors like Josh Duhamel and Tyrese Gibson are pretty good as far as I'm concerned. Shia is an acquired taste but I like how he plays a dude stuck in a situation that involves alien robots, special forces and end of the world situations.

    3. since when there was an allspark?
    Seven different Transformer continuities use the allspark.

    Oh, and moreover, it's not a reboot. Transformers has a whole range of different continuities. This is just one more.

    Possibly your best thread yet, pharoah.

    Although, I agree for a different reason entirely, namely Shia Labeouf. He ruins everything he is in.

    My issue is that they made it too much like the old cartoons. I find the human characters annoying, unrealistic, and poorly developed. Apart from Sam I just don't care about them, and they don't add much to the film.

    Aw...You don't like Sam's mom? Her antics are amusing...

    I thought Shia was the best thing about the 3rd Transformers movie. Action for the most part is a yawn for me, the chick is meh. I thought Patrick D. was a pretty good villain also.

    I can't handle seeing his ugly mug anymore. He starred in this monstrousity, which almost completely ruined my childhood.

    qft

    indiana jones 4 could have been so good, but no. shia just had to be in it, and he had to bring zero acting skill to the table, rehashing a type of character that became stupid 30 years ago.

    I don't like the fact that it seems every other dude who wears a tapout shirt has a deceptocon symbol somewhere on their car.

    What I don't like about the recent reboot of Transformers is that they are trying to reboot Transformers.

    Haven't seen the newest one yet but from what I have seen from the other two I think they have fallen into the same problem as Lucas' new trilogy. Computer graphics arent new anymore, so showing a bunch of cg action scenes just wont cut it anymore. Besides, michael bay should never be let near any good series. Explosions don't replace good story structure.

    I never liked Transformers when they first came out (as toys, comics, cartoons). So the revamp to me is completely uninspiring.

    When I watched the first transformers I was slapping myself in the face because I was so frustrated. Im not joking, I'm not exaggerating, I'm not making that up. I was literally slapping myself really quite hard in the face I was so unhappy with the movie.

    Havnt seen any of them since.

    A good blockbuster has to have a hook that really pulls you in, you cant just blow your figurative load on the hottest new stars & CGI and expect it to be good. These expensive movies need something to make us love them, not just be wowed by them.

    Not to mention the fact that the first transformers was cut so quickly, with such overwhelming special effects in such close shots the best of the CGI was lost in a blur of wide-eyed *what the hell is happening right now* twisted metal rolling down a freeway.
