Re: Transformers Trilogy. Despised or enjoyed?
I overall enjoyed the Bayverse. It just stuck around too long and seemed to hijack time from other parts of the franchise.
Are they cinematic masterpieces? No, but they are fun popcorn movies with BAYSPLOSIONS!
I think that's what lead to their popularity. Not every movie has to be a cinematographer's deeply introspective epic.
I know most of us adult fans of Transformers wanted a movie that was on par with Battlestar Galactica's level of depth, angst, and grittiness. But that would have tanked at the box office.
