What's your over all opinion on the Live action TF movies & movie verse toy lines.
my 2 cents below:
AS FAR AS THE ACTUAL LIVE ACTION TF MOVIES GOES:
I only enjoy watching the live action TF movies for the couple of minutes of CGI Robots scenes that are in each movie. the CGI scenes are trully amazing,superb & top notch.
I loathe the humans,the dialogue,the stories. shia is the worst actor i've ever had the displeasure of watching in a movie. I don't mind josh duhamel & his army guys. I dis-like shia/sam,his family & friends in the three live action TF movies.
Shia le bouf,is the worst actor i've ever had the dis-pleasure of watching in a movie. Shia ruins ever scene he's in. shia can't act thru the emotions properly. I hate it when shia over-acts & ruins a scene. over-acting by crying too much or getting scarred to much or worse acting too macho. Shia ruined every scene he was in,in that last indiana movie because he over did it with the macho behavior.
Personally going to the theathre to see a TF movie from a humans point of view is a huge insult. is it so hard to create a live action TF movie from a robots point of view. I don't enjoy getting more live action human scenes & less CGI Robots scenes. I don't enjoy the humans stealing all the dialogue spoken words & the robots barely getting a few words of spoken dialogue words per movie. I want the robots to be the stars & the humans to not be the stars.
James cameron,I felt did a excellent job in the Advatar movie. by telling a story from the CGI point of view. by having more CGI scenes & less live action human scenes. by have a slimmed down/small cast of live action humans not over dominate the CGI models. the dialogue & over all story was superb.
I didn't like that their were so many humans & so many groups of humans dominating each live action TF movie. it just seemed a bit over the top,too much,too cluthered. different lives/persona's clashing,everyone tripping over each other. obviously the huge human cast took away valuable screen time+spoken words dialogue from the robots in each live action TF movie.
I'm not a fan of the super tiny transformers in these live action TF movies. because their always portrayed as wild cards,crazies,Psychopath's,un-balanced emotions,losers,rejects,dummies,incompetent,etc... sad thing is these super tiny robots got more scenes & more spoken dialogue than the bigger CGI robots.
AS FAR AS THE MOVIE VERSE TOYS GOES:
I honestly don't care for the weird designs. I'd prefer the toys looked more like Generations or like AEC type designed toy sculpts.
It just seemed like the mis-portioned body parts & limbs on the movie verse toys kept getting worse with every passing newer TF live action movie toy line.
I'm simply not a fan of giving transformers robots hideous bug faces or hideous monster looking faces. I'm a old school TF fan & I prefer my robot faces to look like the diaclone/microman/change--Robot faces
I only bought four DOTM toys which were leader sized sentinel prime. leader sized ironhide, voyager sized megatron. voyager sized Skyhammer. the rest of the DOTM toys,I thought looked awful.
For the 2007 TF movie,I only bought a few voyagers & the two new mold leader sized toys. I didn't like anything else,So I didn't buy any of it.
EDIT CORRECTION: I did buy the deluxe 2007 Arcee. I also bought the 2007 movie deluxe Jazz in those target store exclusive G-1 inspired white+racing decals homage G-1 colors.
For the ROTF toy line,I bought 85% of the voyagers & the three new mold leader sized toys.
I only liked & bought four HA $29.99 toys. which were Jazz,bumblebee in first colors,barricade & Sideswipe in second black colors.
I did buy the walmart store exclusive legends size combiner devestator.
for the HFTD & RTS toy lines,I only bought a few obvious G-1 updated homages that looked like they were supose to be in the generations toy line. I bought the HFTD leader sized starscream because I felt it was a awesome designed mold.
the reason I only bought 4 Dotm toys in 2011. because I just felt hasbro dropped the ball,didn't care & released inferior toys to save money due to the downward spiral economy raising their toy making profits,stuff not selling & gas prices forcing cost to go upward.
I didn't like how the average DOTM new mold had thinner plastic quality,the sculpt was much lower & geared towards toddlers. the engineering & joint technology was inferior to ROTF & the 2007 movie toys.
I dis-like how the mech tech weapon caused cut backs on the robot toys.
I wasn't a fan of the super tiny polly pocker styled DOTM toys dominating the DOTM toy line & out-numbering the bigger TF toys by 10 to 1.
What upset me the most is hasbro only released 6 new mold voyagers in the DOTM toy line. I love the bigger sized TF toys more like voyagers,ultra's & leader sized TF toys. in the past from 2002 thru 2010 most full blown TF toy lines supported by a media cartoon/movie got over 10 new mold voyagers.
The only Bumblebee movie verse toy I own from the three live action TF movie is $29.99 Human alliance bumblebee. I honestly didn't like how hasbro dominated the three live action TF movie toy lines with over one hundred bumblebee toys in different sizes,colors,remolds,etc...the over sized ultimate,battle ops & leader sized movie verse bumblebee toys just seemed absurd,ridiculous & a waste of plastic. Having Bumblebee dominate the $29.99 HA cases literally ruined the HA toys from selling,as most were looking for barricade,jazz & sideswipe & had hard times finding them. having dozens of repainted/remolded deluxe bumblebee was just a bit over-obsessive on hasbro part.
