why was transformers so terrible...certainly not as bad...or as bad as anything else on the list.
Transformers may in fact be the worst movie ever made. I say this for a variety of reasons, though the main reason it tops my list is that they spent over $200 million dollars to make and market that migraine of a movie. It's just offensive to spend so much money on something so bad. Sure there are technically worse movies out there, but why pick on the little guys? But what makes it so bad you ask?:
1. The plot is ridiculous. The Transformers are actually looking for some mystical pair of bifocals?!!!! Eyeglasses!!! What is the sequel? Are they looking for a magical hearing aid? Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
2. The effects look like a video game. Do you know how boring it is to watch someone else play a video game for 2 and a half hours? It's pretty darn boring.
3. The editing causes epilectic seizures. I equate the physical experience of seeing that movie in the theater with someone during up their HD surround sound all the way and then flipping through all 400 channels...for 2 and a half hours.
4. The "cute" scenes with Bumblebee playing ironic music.
5. How about the scene where the Transformers are "hiding" from the parents in the backyard. Stupid.
6. The action scenes are incomprehensable, so much some that every single Transformer shouts out their name during the fights because even Michael Bay had to admit he had no idea what was going on.
People tell me that I'm too hard on this movie and that I should lighten up because it's based on toys. Pirates of the Carribean was based on an amusement park ride and it's a fun, competent movie. This just isn't. If you spend $200,000 and make a movie like this, I can forgive you. You spend $200,000,000 and make a movie this bad, and it's just obscene. I will actually give Automatons the edge between these two for this very reason.
