Transformer 3:3 Humans:1 Robot

I’m not sure that it’s a good ratio.

The Movie Blog is reporting that Michael Bay has announced that there will be 3 humans and 1 Transformer joining the cast for Transformers 3 . According to The Movie Blog, Michael Bay has announced that Ken Jeong, Frances McDormand and John Malkovich, as well as, a Ferrari 458 Italia have been added to the cast for Transformers 3.

Now I have no problems with the new additions.  I like all of these actors and a new Transformer is always a good thing.  But, I would have to say that looking at the two previous films in the Transformers series, adding more humans is a bad thing.  The chief criticism of the Transformer films thus far has been the amount of screen time devoted to the human characters in each of the two previous films.  I can understand them wanting to use humans since its very expensive for them to put the Transformers on screen, but it’s the Transformers that people are paying to see.

If Michael Bay could work out a way to have the Transformers actually be the main focus or even have a Transformer be the main character of the next Transformer film, it would go a long way to appease the fans. Then again, maybe it’s just me.

So what do you think? Are do you like the idea of more humans being in the next Transformers film?
