You're obviously taking a shot at me, but Gladiator to Transformers is stretching it. Sure, TDK and Watchmen and Sin City all have a different feel, but Avengers was lighthearted and still went over well. I'm not expecting it to be on the level of Paul T. Anderson or anything, but Iron Man 3 wasn't good. The ending was laughable... maybe the movie was intended to be a comedy, but if that's the case then the preview was misleading. There was no innovation... same , RD is witty and he has gadgets... Maybe I need to get a clue on what people want to see.
Maybe I missed the part where the robots showed up to kill Maximus... or were Transformers 2 and 3 about Optimus being betrayed and reduced to slavery?
