Okay. For starters, it will not make any sense if you haven't watched the first to seasons of Transformers. The problem is that people tend to take it as a stand-alone movie, which, frankly, it's not. For everyone who has seen the first two seasons of Transformers, know and love the characters, it's the best thing ever! It has a wonderful plot, incredible characters, and just amazing animation. The problem is, people cannot get over the fact that the series/movie is based off toys. Although, yes, that's how it started, it has grown to be so much more. The characters take on a life of there own, and it evolves to be something incredible. The only problem I had was the cussing. I admit, that, while I wouldn't want children repeating that, you would have done the same thing in that situation, right? Also, people automatically assume that because it's animated and about transforming alien robots, it's for children. My mom watched the whole series and the movie, and loved it. She sees it for what it is. Not just mindless rubbish for children. I strongly recommend watching the series and the movie. Although the series is considerably less focused towards adults, everyone can enjoy it.
