I was never a Transformers fan. Never owned the toys or read the comics. I might have seen one or two episodes of the animated show. It didn’t interest me enough to watch it regularly. I saw them as long commercial made to sell toys. Since I have no nostalgic feelings towards this franchise, I will be judging the movie on its own merits. Hopefully it will be a good action sci-fi summer blockbuster.
I don’t have much confidence in Michael Bay. He directs spectacular action sequences but his films usually contain very artificial characters and uninteresting plots.
