No, the point is there is no point. You're bitching and just coming up with reasons not to like it. That's fine, but these particular reasons aren't valid ones.

They also borrowed some ideas from E.T. as well, in Sam's relationship with Bumblebee. But I don't care they did that.

Were films like the first Star Wars and The Matrix just a jumble of ripped off movies blended together, too? George Lucas always gave credit to Kurosawa's 'The Hidden Fortress' for a lot of the plot structure and character ideas; no one calls him a rip off artist for that.

Well Star Wars was such a huge rip off, it was like a tribute.

Transformers 1, is Small Soldiers, with hollywood and shit glazed on top.

And Star Wars was a great story with awesome characters, who on both dark and light sides were well fleshed out, the awesome music of John Williams, and truely original visual design..... unlike Bay TFs.

It starts out with a socially awkward guy who is in love with a girl who doesn't like him back.

He sees some action toys that he gets that turn to life and are awesome.

These toys have their own back story and bring out humour and action, and are essentially, the film.

Somehow the military get involved.

Through out the film, other side characters get involved including the girl. The boy saves her, and they end up going out with eachother.

Sound familiar?

Yes, it's that 90s film Small Soldiers.

That was a good film, wasn't it?

Now, lets replace the soldiers with transformers (to add nostalgia or some shit), turn it into something that's come out of Hollywood's vagina, throw up on it, then spray glitter over it.

You get Transformers 1.

Honestly, I thought that all the way through the film, until towards the end when it started saying some transformers shit I couldn't understand, and the very beginning.

At one point I thought I was watching Small Soldiers, but a very bad version of it.

I don't even need to watch the second one to know it's bad. Transformers 1 was one of the worst films I ever saw.

Even with that, it's still apples and oranges.

I was surprised no one pointed it out earlier.

And I don't just mean KMC.


I don't think anyone pointed it out because they're both based on generic, stock story components. The boy/girl combo plus crazy, unbelievable event is a movie mainstay. I can relate the story to both Terminator 1 and Jumanji. My point? What did Van Pelt do to Alan that he's so afraid of him? It's fine and dandy that he has a gun and there's gotta be more than that.

Even though I'll regret this, that's totally agreeable.
