Top Ten Worst Things About the Transformers Movies

The Top Ten
1 Michael Bay's Directing

Michael Bay does NOT know how to make a good Transformers movie. In fact, his movies have almost NOTHING to do with the Transformers since the focus is more on the humans than on the robot characters. I'm sorry, but there's no excuse for that! If you're going to make movies about the Transformers, then they should BE ABOUT THE TRANSFORMERS! PERIOD! The 1986 animated movie is a good example!

I hate you michael bay

2 The Obnoxious and Annoying Characters

Sam Witwicky takes the cake. Because not only was he annoying and obnoxious and acted like a spider monkey on drugs, but he just became more and more intolerable as time went on. Thank God he never returned for the fourth movie. And I hope he doesn't come back. Like, EVER.

Oh my God. Sam is just the most annoying character in Transformers, almost equal to Jar Jar Binks. He sounds like some late bloomer who masturbates in the school library. Exactly like that guy in my high school who did that.

Two words: Sam's mom

3 They Were All Successful at The Box Office

Bashing on movies that earned lots of money for some reason really makes you jealous. Are you or not?

Probably, it's the toys that make that much a year. Go look up "To Sell Toys" at the Transformers wiki.

They were good with the box office... And absolutely nothing else

The Last Knight was the only one to disappoint at the box office. It’s just reported that particular movie lost its studio $100 million.

4 In The Action Scenes You Can't Tell What's Going on

According to screen junkies, the action scenes "look like junkyards having sex with each other"

5 Racism
6 Optimus Prime Getting Killed Off Half Way Through The 2nd Movie

At least it didn't make many children cry in the theater unlike transformers the movie of 1986

And then he gets revived near the third act through for some reason...

7 Gross Out Gags
8 Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

The second movie was the most atrocious out of the Bayformers series. Its everything wrong with the first movie, but even worse. And no, Optimus Prime's death in the 1986 movie had some weight to it. And not to mention that movie treated him like a CHARACTER. But to Bay, he's nothing more than a marketing ploy. It was predictable that he would be back before the film was over. Seriously, people, Transformers movies have so much potential to be so much better. But Bay has demonstrated that this is how NOT to do it. This is an example of what happens when you allow the rights to a franchise to fall into the disreputable hands of someone who does what he does just for money and nothing else.

Why do many people hate this movie so much? Megan Fox isn't a bad actress and is smoking hot. Optimus dying was a great plot twist. The only things that really sucked about this movie was the fight at the end where the fallen got his ass totally kicked. He didn't even stand a chance even with megatron. Megatron is a horrible character but he is in all of the movies.

Frequent profanity, racism, overly explosion-filled and more. Really, I never expect movie perfection but this was WAY below my very "low" expectations. I don't think Megan Fox is a bad actress (which is the case why most people hated this movie), it's honestly just... I don't know, this movie is just plain horrible. Really, out of all millions of bad movies there are, it got ranked #10 on rifftrax.com's Top 10 Worst Movies list. NUMBER TEN.

This movie was just plain bad.

I ain't gonna say I hate the movie, but it's alright. The reason why the haters target this film so much is because it's dialogue aren't that great, bad flaws and they still hate Megan Fox's guts for no reason. You can love this movie all you want, but still the haters will still hating till they die.

9 Carley Spencer

Definitely. Carly spoiled the movie for me and my younger siblings. She's so annoying and screams for EVERYTHING non-stop. And she just HAD to be blonde. My goodness, it's always blonde. I can't stand it and just because of her horribly stereotypical and annoying acting, I now dislike DoTM.

She should be #1! She supports all and every girl stereotype there is! And this is an action movie! The girls are supposed to be OPPOSING the stereotypes, not supporting them!

The only thing the character did the whole movie was cry and whine. The most irritating thing about the movie was the female character.

10 Lack of Character Development

This is one of the problems that is most obvious in the Michael Bay Transformers series. And they say that the original cartoon was full of problems.

The Contenders
11 Objectification of the Female Characters
12 The Atrocious Acting

Especially on Shia's part as the ever annoying Sam Witwicky.

13 Michael Bay Keeps On Making More Transformers Movies

Apparently Michael Bay has grown an obsession for his own interpretation of the Transformers universe. Its been almost a decade since the first movie came out, but he doesn't seem to have changed much since then. But sooner or later people will catch on to how predictable and tasteless his movies really are. And die-hard Transformers fans are going to give up eventually.

14 The 5th One is Coming Out

This one is so boring!

15 The Lengths of The Films

The movies last too long than they need to. Especially with all their filler and nonsensical stories. And all the other issues that plague them.

Half of the scenes add nothing to the story.

16 Transformers: Age of Extinction

I don't have a clear memory of the 5th so I won't include it, but dear god I don't see how this one isn't hands down the worst of the first 4 to everyone, yeah 2 was bad, and the others weren't good, but it always had solid action and dope animation and so so comedy. This one has cheesy cruddy comedy, horrible action, and robots that look like they came from a children's animation series. You can't have a movie that has the horrific one liners that fat green guy kept saying, the child like animations, and DINOSAURS(that was so bad), and then proceed to include the F word in it.

The fourth movie was a little bit better than the first three atrocities, but that's not saying much. But I will give Michael Bay credit for balancing out the focus so that its not too much on the humans or on the robots. And thank God they got rid of Sam Witwicky. Because he was just becoming more and more annoying as time went on. The franchise doesn't need Sam.

I wasted my money's worth from my wallet to see it in IMAX 3D. The longest ever in the franchise and most loudest than its predecessors.

17 Jazz's Death

Jazz's death was so premature and anticlimactic. We don't even get to know his character or anything. They just killed him off just like that. But then again, considering how the first three movies were barely even about the Transformers and focused way too much on the stupid and annoying human characters (who make me embarrassed to be apart of this species), I guess we really can't expect much from Michael Bay, now can we?

This is so unfair Jazz and he is also too young. I will say thank you to Michael Bay if he put him in the movie again.

Jazz was the 2nd Strongest autobot untill megatron kills him. Butt remember jazz Words. " Do it with style or bother doing it "

We miss you so much Jazz and we hope you will be repaired again.

18 The Robots Having No Type of Personality Whatsoever
19 All The Movies Are Exactly The Same

That is most certainly true. And that's a BIG problem. Because they all follow the same plot. There's nothing new, no plot twists or character development, no coherent storylines, its just the same garbage over and over again. In fact, by this point, the movies have become so predictable that I've lost faith. Do you really expect the movies to make sense at this point when the writers and producers care so little about the franchise that they based their movies off of? Even Michael Bay doesn't care. He just does what he does just to make a buck. That's pretty much all they care about nowadays.

That could be true, but their fanbases are way different thanks to their opinions.

20 The Fanbase

The critics are not the problem here. Biased and arrogant? You bet they are, but at least they have a good reason to be hated on. It's the fanboys and fangirls who WORSHIP the Transformers movies especially in particular! It's okay to like Michael Bay and Transformers, but it's NOT okay to shove them down people's throats! I don't know how old you guys are, but when Michael Bay is finished with Transformers, that's it! Troll and flame me to death all you want, but popularity doesn't last forever and I mean it! In other words, just let it go!

The critics are not the issue here. Biased and arrogant? You bet they are, but they have a good reason to be hated on. It's the stupid FANBOYS AND FANGIRLS who WORSHIP the Transformers movies in particular! It's okay to like any Transformers film (including all of them), but it's NOT okay to shove 'em down people's THROATS! Once the Transformers film series is complete, THAT'S IT! Michael Bay can't make more! If any of you fans come here and read this comment, YOU JUST GOT OWNED! So GET OVER IT! HAHAAHAHAA! >

Broken. That's all I have to say about it over the movies.

21 Humans Helping Decepticons

This actually sounds interesting. Evil humans working with evil living robots. They should probably use more human antagonists.

Transformers prime silas and breakdown

22 Characters Have No Screentime
23 The Witwicky Family

They are utterly despicable, annoying, and serve absolutely no purpose to the plot. And I think Sam's mom is a crack-head. Oh, what am I thinking? The plots in these movies make little to no sense at all!

God... The mother is the only one I find funny.

24 Film Critics Hate It

Every time I go to see a Michael Bay Transformer movie. I keep waiting to see if it is going to be better that the 1986 Transformers movie...and my wait continues.

Like I said before, critics have a good reason to be hated on!

And I don't blame them.

25 Lack of Female Characters

There are only five female protagonists in the movies. There should be way more female Transformers than that.
